great idea!
ever since yesterday I have been listening to the recording sessions of king arthur, maybe I even love them more than last samurai…..
🙂
I am surprised that I tend to like this ‘big’ (and patriotic) music, but it makes me feel energetic.
People like Kaczmarek for example, or some of Yared, Portman, are much more soothing, love that too.
GABRIEL YARED – TROY [REJECTED]
Finally got my hands on and while the CD looks somewhat questionable, the sound isn’t bad. I’m on the fence about the score personally.
JOHN POWELL – KNIGHT AND DAY
http://www.hans-zimmer.com/~hybrid/powell/KADAY.JPG
Knight and Day being somewhat of a disappointed seeing as the film used bits of music from Christopher Beck’s CONFIDENCE, a cue from THE TAKING OF PELHAM 123 and music from PROJECT GOTAN which is exactly what the film score sounds like, trippy Tango Spanish Techno.
the movie is a dark one (at least Owen is the dark type in that, not the bad one, but the kind of ‘dark’ hero), and I specially love the suites from chief dundee too, 3 suites you can dl from his place…
really really love this.
yes, so much music, I know!
I like this.
i’ll have to bookmark this thread 😀
I’m pretty sure it means so-so. Half-good/half-bad. Like it/dislike it.
Has it’s ups/downs. yay/meh! love it/hate it
something like that.
The King Arthur (Recording Sessions), I don’t think I’ve heard that one yet.
I have a 2-disc expanded score in lossless. Though, since I’ve gotten Adobe, I haven’t really checked to see it’s full spectrum. Will have to look into that…
Has it’s ups/downs. yay/meh! love it/hate it
something like that.
ok, thought so, thanks, I am not updated with all sorts of ‘sayings’ 😉
so pacific is a good one? Only just watched the first episode….
i guess BAND OF BROTHERS raised the bar too high.
as for TROY, the score was always on my radar as you can hear similarities between it and 300 [along with TITUS] but hear it stand alone it doesn’t fully work for me and to be honest, it’s not exactly ROUSING or melodic music.
i also wonder if this score was fully mixed as Yared intended it to be.
hi scoreman 🙂
yes I like the idea too, it’s babydolls’ baby (with respect to you), so it is sort of both your baby 😀

the pacific was produced by spielberg too, another mini series I loved (and do love the score by zanelli!) was ‘Into the West’….
I have never watched ‘band of brothers’ though. (not yet maybe)
🙂
sit down and have a cup of coffee or tea 😉 (or whatever)
good to see you!
I liked it. The last few episodes were really good.
This series focuses more on the characters, in-depth.
It’s also got a dark and grim viewpoint as well.
Watching the documentaries on the HBO website also add to the grim story-line.
The SFX are really good!
I have never watched ‘band of brothers’ though. (not yet maybe)
Band of Brothers is really awesome!! I’d start with that series first before watching The Pacific!
Then play some Medal of Honor afterward, lol.
The Pacific had a higher budget than BOB, much higher budget. I think they were talking about the highest budget for a tv series thus far, for HBO.
Oh, look at that, my first rant in this thread. LOL.
Not really about WWII but related. Steven Spielberg’s "1941". Funny how the same man that directed this Laugh-Your-Ass-Off comedy ended up making "Schindler’s List" and "Saving Private Ryan" and producing "Band of Brothers" and "The Pacific". Speaking of "1941", is there any score released? I believe it’s John Williams’ work.
I have a single FLAC image file. The cue indicates that there are 36 tracks, all of them have no name.
Anyone know anything about it?
I’ve come across a few promos/bootlegs with no title tracks, so that’s fine.
But has anyone ever seen/heard of a 36 track version?
Should I worry about it and sprinkle salt around it O_O

I haven’t bought a cd for the same reasons (self dependand, tight money) in a long time.
I just bought "little man tate" (Isham) and "war of the buttons" (Portman) second hand, first time for – waht – 3 years?
But I don’t care as much, if I have something as a file that’s fine with me.
I am sure you’ll be getting Lawrence, moontrekker. 🙂

I had that one, not in flac, but I had named the folder ‘bootleg’….
have you tried to go ‘edit’ ->’advanced’?
O_O 38??
Coconut is a good song. First heard that one in Reservoir Dogs for the end credits. Though they didn’t play it that long in PM, they got wierded out and went all ominous looking.

I like Rachel Portman’s "The Manchurian Candidate" a lot. Managed to find that in FLAC. I think it was a combo pack with something else Portman…
I’ll have to dig it up, really good score.

Thanks babdydoll, i’ll keep these in a .txt for future reference.
Nice place you’ve got here… so spacious.
I really liked both Band of Brothers, and the Pacific.
At the end of the last Pacific episode, where we read about what happened to all the characters after the war, there is a great 8 minute cue that is not on the released album. I’m guessing there’ll be plenty of scope for an extended release some day.
And yeah, I think it comes with the old one.
.
have you listened ‘human stain’?
what -besides the ones mentioned- else do you like of her?
But on the other hand if I had the money I would probably get it, just because its Batman and Elfman.

don’t tell me what happened, I just started out! 😉
I’ll pay attention to the cue though 🙂
@babydoll
just downloaded you practical magic file (short it would be ‘pm’ *lol*)
But on the other hand if I had the money I would probably get it, just because its Batman and Elfman.
so maybe we should call you elftrekker? 😉
(or battrekker?)
🙂
Now when they release Batman Returns , Ill have a hard time not getting that one, best of the two IMHO of course 😉
Overall Elfman’s batman scores are some of his best work.

GODSPEED,Babydoll!
what -besides the ones mentioned- else do you like of her?
Actually, MC and JLC are all I know lol.
I really love the dark themes in MC, plus some of the sound atmosphere.
She tinkers around with sound a lot. Much like in Dark Knight for Two-Face themes, with all the small bits here and there.
JLC has some really good flute and string peices.
The new cd seems clearer to me, even as a 320 digi file, I am hearing subtle stuff I had not noticed before, richer and more depth…..
It does. The percussive tracks are more ear-catching in this release!
I’m loving it so much!
Returns has some great choral work in it, cant wait.
Sparky, you had me there, good one.
Our place??……..I call this spot!! *runs over to jump onto a hammock, only to get himself all tangled up*
Hmm, good one what? Did I miss something?

actually I dont have to have lossless , takes up too much room and to be quite honest I dont notice much of a difference between 320k and lossless.
just me 😉
Thanks I have that one 😉
ouuuu Decent into Mystery my favorite cue is playing now, Neet!!
The Penguin themes are great, the Catwoman strings are superb, and Batman is still awesome!
oh, and the circus attack in the city has some nice little rattle sounds too ^_^

GOOD to see the good ones here!!!!!
both in lossy and lossless formats…
it will take awhile…4.4GB dvd’s x (24+30+24 plus a shoe box full of CD-Rs of mp3/wav/flac/etc + retail CDs + CDRs of CDs….)
And it varies between Soundtracks (with Various Artists), Scores, trailer music, "regular music", audiobooks, instructional (languages), and opera/classical/musical…
So, with all that, I should have a list ready in about…years=3.14159265….
lol yeah i was going to comment on all these copies showing up.
And all the descriptions seem to be copied and pasted from into the storm’s post.

GOOD idea!
ok this I have to have.
the first one with the TARDIS, love it.
I like Giacchino. I like how he uses bass in Speedracer, very rare moments, but very delectable.
His Medal of Honor soundtracks are me faves!
oh Matt Smith is great , they did what I think they couldnt do, get someone as good or better than David Tennant.
Im a old Whovian too, but this new stuff is wonderful.

Giacchino Rocks!! Period.
I am a big fan of the series, but somehow I have never payed attention to the music… I should though, I guess 🙂
Heroes…couldn’t get into that one really. The first few episodes did a lot of flashbacks that happened just 15 minutes ago (if you watch them back-to-back), so it felt like they were undermining my intellegense or something…
Im a old Whovian too, but this new stuff is wonderful.
a whovian? *lol* that sounds great! never heard that before 🙂
I am afraid that is what I liked….. it seemed they really had a story to tell, and I was ready to listen! 😀
I heard Whovian many moons ago on PBS someone refered us a Whovian’s and I liked it.
*moves his index finger steadily across your forehead* live long and prosper!!!

i want to give it another watch someday, but after i get through Stargate SG-1, Atlantis then Universe! :D:D
The Music goes very well with the series but as a stand alone listen it gets alittle tedious, its real good music but like I said 😉
Speed Racer and Star Trek are my favorites.
Help me,please?

maybe a silly question, but what is scoreweb?

oh

AH,YES!I had already visited there.
THANK YOU anyway.
yes eureka! battlestar, B5, Fringe, flash Forward, Bionic Woman, supernatural, I watched smallville, I liked charmed, x-files, lie to me, ghost whisperer, medium, not to start with medicine-related sreies or law-related ones…everything of star trek (of course), what was the name of this british series again, a kind of spin-off of dr. who, I cannot remember the name…

Thant makes 2 of us, till then the Proms rip will have to suffice.
Meh, Universe left me cold. What I loved about SG1, and Atlantis, was the humor, and quirks…Universe is/was just bleak. It is like they wanted to reboot SG to be more like Battlestar, and for me, it’s not a good fit. Still loving Eureka, though, and Haven. Not really happy with Warehouse 13 though.
Good, i thought it was just me who thought that. And why, for all that is holly, did they cancel FlashForward???!!! Sorry, had to get that out of my system. LOL.
Have any particular "favorite" score by him?
My favs are "Black Beauty", "Hellboy 2", and "Alice in Wonderland"
After listening to that extended "Batman" I have to say its up there as well ;D
Cuz it was terrible and tried to be way to much like LOST. 😛
If it was like Lost, i would be glad it was cancelled. It wasn’t. And yeah, it has enough holes in its own logic, plotwise, to sink a battleship. But it was a good show and it should have been given a chance. Instead they kill it and let V go on? That makes the original look brilliant by comparisson. Geez.
This thread has been christened. 😉
Yeah, Facebook.
Sorry (Reaches for prescribed medication)
I’m game with that.
Of course, Doc and cuckoo are the high lords of that thread now. 😉
ok, that’s good for a start, but you CAN do better now, can you?
😉
Yeah I guess I can :naughty:. I just held my tongue through all the shit going on in the other thread and so it was nice to release by slamming my face against the keyboard 😀
I sent you the Doctor Who Series one promo I had, its not much in quality sorry.
I love the soundtrack. I’m interested in those that would like to hear some edits I threw together on the orchestra tracks. I had read that they sounded flat and I kind of agreed so I modified them.
If you would like the clips send me a PM and let me know what you think.

Aside from his Batman’s, I’ve always enjoyed his work on Mission:Impossible and The Wolfman.
Although Wolfman wasn’t completed due to him working on Alice in Wonderland.
That soundtrack was such a mess, you could even hear while watching the movie.
But I really liked the cues that sounded like Woljiech Kilar’s cues from Bram Stoker’s Dracula.
I liked POTA, the intro track had some really nice bass in it!
Too bad the movie didn’t do so well in the box office. I thought it was a fun movie.

…and it set up the scene nicely for a sequel which would stick closely to Pierre Boulle’s (?spelling?) original story…his apes didn’t live in jungles…shame it never materialised…I hear yet another reboot is on the cards? Maybe it will go back to the source material finally, since the closest we have got so far was the damn cartoon series!!
Torchwood is the name you are thinking of.
….and Torchwood will be heading to your shores soon….Series 4 is to be (or maybe being?) filmed partly in the US after the destruction of Torchwood 3. New cast members (though the survivors from the UK series will all be present and correct too), new ideas, new places to film…series is in capable hands and looking forward to it over here… 🙂
Can I just make a couple of people jealous and say that if you watch the Doctor Who Christmas Special from 2 christmasses ago ("The Next Doctor"), much of it was filmed in Gloucester where I live, and yep – I toddled down there (10 minutes walk from where I live) to have a nose during filming (and got good views of a certain Mr Tennant among many others)…was all pretty cool 🙂
Nice thread ya got here babydoll!! Though your crisis over sorei is clearly noted and I clearly have work to do 😉
Muuuuule
Although Wolfman wasn’t completed due to him working on Alice in Wonderland.

I will say this on my deathbed, Wolfman is the "Jaws" of this generation 🙂
Then went on to Elizabeth the Golden Age. The opening track for that is just beautiful.
Well, most of the time anyway 😀 – the former Mrs Muuuuule was never a one-man gal 😀

Unless Sorei’s here, then, you know, it’s all her….
Thank you all for your kind words. And thank you for taking care of me, Goddess. As for Sorei, i totally understand. 🙂
If you need to talk, feel free. A few minutes ago i got off the phone with a very special friend that gave me a little perspective on my own problems. Especially cause her sister ended up in the hospital after a severe epileptic attack, last night. She’s in the ICU after a cardiac arrest. Knowing what she’s going through made me realise my problem is relatively tiny. I mean, it doesn’t hurt any less but there are things that are a lot worse.
Just a friendly suggestion, and I’m sure you’ve already considered it, but you might want to get some meds, no matter the cost… :-/
*lol*
not that too many fans make it too hot out there 😉

Yes, Band of Brothers raised the entire bar on how to present non-fictional stories of WWII or war in general. Looking forward to the Pacific though. DVDs are out in Nov. 🙂
Then play some Medal of Honor afterward, lol…
…or "Call of Duty"
The US system for healthcare – pardon me – seems to suck to high heaven. Move to the UK – you’d get all this for free (for the rest of your life), and save the the plane fare back in about 3 months…crazy, isn’t it?
Among all the s**t-slinging that goes on about services in the UK, the National Health Service is the jewel in the crown of public facilities….if I break a leg, I get a free ambulance ride with free care, get seen at Emergency dept for free, get given free medication and stay in hospital as long as I need. Free. Extraordinary service. I have a friend locally who fell seriously ill whilst on holiday (in Phoenix, Arizona, funnily enough, which was quite lucky since the most advanced experts and treatment in the world in the condition she fell ill with are in Phoenix) – because they are a UK citizen and tax payer, the treatment and care they needed – bearing in mind it was for well over a month – was free. On the flipside, I know of someone who lives in the US who went through the pain of watching his partner die over the course of several months – and naturally, amongst all the condolensce cards and letters, was the bill for thousands of dollars for the care and treatment – right down to a short ambulance journey…this is so alien to us in the UK as to almost seem barbaric.
We in the UK can CHOOSE to go "private" – that is, pay all that money for helathcare that is supposedly better and quicker – but the reality is that that such private healthcare has no evidence whatsoever to support it being any better than the free stuff – apart from your waiting time to be seen might be a little shorter.

Babydoll, im sorry darlin" but you are going to have to post a dictionary when you speak in medical terms! 0_o 😉
I did not mean the lack of VS posting was killing the thread rather it was the incessant whining and insulting of other people as they did especially in the beginning of the scare. I know most of U did not take part in it but it turned me off to that thread days at a time. Communities should be about friendlies. Most of us, especially those who are older in life, deal with too much s**t on a daily basis. Some of us have extreme financial difficulties, have medical issues, deal with depression and some have to deal with severe family matters 24-7! We use this community to escape, even if its just a little while, these trials while downloading & discussing good music. I dont think insults should ever be tolerated in forums such as this! For any reason!
Babydoll, I use Firefox and I have 15 to 20 tabs opened at a time. The browser is always active. The computer is rebooted once every month. I also minimize the window. So like U my profile shows i am always active but am I viewing the thread 24-7? HELL NO! im not even home most of the time! U obviously are dealing with more serious issues than to concern yourself about some flamers! Stay Strong, Babygirl!
For yourself and your husband!
Oh, that sucks. 500 bucks just for meds? Wow, things on my country are crapy (healthcare wise… and not only) but from what i know insuline users don’t pay such values, part is paid (subsidised) by the system. It’s a sad state of things when people can’t get the care they need because of money. Damned green pieces of paper.
Emotionally…meh. That comes and goes. Summers are my worst, I do not like hot, dry sunny weather, and miss the rain, and change of seasons. I am not perky, and still feel odd about the crap the other day, but it will be fine. Just moody sometimes.
Oh, Goddess, get over that. If you allow a piece of $#%t like that @$s-h#&e Abba-crap-don get to you, you’ll just be playing his game. He’s a pathetic sad excuse for a human being that gets his kicks from saying how good he is and how crappy everyone is by comparison to his own magnificience. Ignore him. I’m a self deprecating, ugly, fat, nervous, geeky, little bastard and i met his type before. Before i let them get to me. But then i realised how pissed off they got when i didn’t. And guess what, they started shuting-the-hell-up. The only opinions that count are your own and those of the people you care about. And yeah, heat sucks. I hate being wet all the time, hate it.

Not yet, unfortunately. But the movie is just gorgeous. Despite missing the Matsumoto character design it is truly stuning.

Here in Portugal we have free or almost free healthcare. But it can’t be compared to the UK’s quality wise. If you want good care here, and can afford it, private is the way to go, if you want treatment before you…well, you know, die.
and i just turned around and gave it to somebody whom I owed 2 cents. thanx. 🙂
It looks like the R2 DVD & Blu-Ray were released on 7/23. It may be a loooong time before we see anything.
Ah yes! but U are a genius w/mecha arent U Tochiro 😀
by the by U might find this interesting…if U didnt already know…
" In March 24 2010, Toei Animation announced the release of the new Harlock movie, they announced a completed pilot for its planned computer-graphics remake of Leiji Matsumoto and Toei’s Space Pirate Captain Harlock manga and anime franchise, and it has revealed a preliminary image and the project’s staff. Mobile Suit Gundam UC author Harutoshi Fukui, Appleseed director Shinji Aramaki, Appleseed mechanical designer Atsushi Takeuchi, and Ninja Scroll character designer Yutaka Minowa worked on the new Space Pirate Captain Harlock pilot with Marza Animation Planet (formly known as Sega Sammy Visual Entertainment).

Kagaku Ninja Tai Gatchaman!!! The anime that started my love affair ever since! You must see Gatchaman the way it was originally intended. You will see, even though it was loved, how Sandy Frank KILLED this show with Battle of the Planets! The only thing they did right was keep most of the themes by Bob Sakuma! im also dying to see Gatchaman II and Gatchaman Fighter. the dvds are out in Japan but probably will never see a translation here. 🙁
Yes I know what U mean. I had to wait till my anime suppliers brought the price down to $8 a box set. then I was able to finish. I believe that company is bankrupt now so any Gatchaman will be hard to find. On the other hand Starblazers was a more faithful translation to the original Uchuu Senkan Yamato. Battle of the Planets/Gatchaman were 1 episode story arcs for the most part while Starblazers/Yamato were serialized like a soap opera.
I was actually considering starting the thread, myself. Just to help aleviate all the tension.
It seems that a lot of threads with download links are veering away from sharing posts/requests and heavily focusing on topics that are somewhat related.
It’s a natural progression. But, it’s also very off-topic. This thread is a good idea, though it seems like it can never be mentioned too much on the download link thread.
All it takes there is for one request for a dvd-rip then pages go by talking about dvd-rips.
The admins have a point about creating this thread. Job well done! 😀
Konnichi wa!
who said? lulz
by the by U might find this interesting…if U didnt already know…
" In March 24 2010, Toei Animation announced the release of the new Harlock movie, they announced a completed pilot for its planned computer-graphics remake of Leiji Matsumoto and Toei’s Space Pirate Captain Harlock manga and anime franchise, and it has revealed a preliminary image and the project’s staff. Mobile Suit Gundam UC author Harutoshi Fukui, Appleseed director Shinji Aramaki, Appleseed mechanical designer Atsushi Takeuchi, and Ninja Scroll character designer Yutaka Minowa worked on the new Space Pirate Captain Harlock pilot with Marza Animation Planet (formly known as Sega Sammy Visual Entertainment).
I wish i was as much of a genious as Tochiro. No one gives 2 cents for him and he’s the greatest mechanical genious to have ever lived. But he is the perfect example of what happens in our society these days. Good looks are praised over brains and heart. Not saying pretty people are evil, but they have it good. I like good looking women but i’d take an inteligent woman with a good heart over a beautiful one without any day. But todays society is so focused in looks that people like me are simply ignored. I’ve had a girlfriend dump me for some pretty boy that treated her like crap. WTF? Am i ranting again?!! Sorry.
As for the Harlock CGI movie, i’m hopefull but the 2 designs i saw didn’t quite make it for me. Hope they get the look right. My favorite Harlock was The Endless Odissey, wich many people hated. I mean the story is a bit weird but i think Harlock was at his best. And animation wise it was a treat.
As for Yamato Rebirth, i got the movie, i’m only missing the subs. But even without them… WOW. This is beautiful. But i still prefer the PS2 movies character designs. Look at my avatar, he was taken from the last PS2 game and the animation there was just sublime. Still, Yamato has been reborn, let us rejoice.

you have my symapthy, know what you are talking about… weather is fine, so we are out on the balcony, after having to re-do my 20 gb mp3-player yesterday, spent hours with it after it had gone crazy, I need a little rest today

Muuuuule’s method for perfect pasta.
Use dried pasta – still great taste (though fresh obviously better still). Does not matter about brand – pretty much all the same whethert it costs pennies or pounds.
1) Boil large pan of water.
2) When it comes to the boil – add one level teaspoon of salt for each portion you are cooking (e.g. if you are cooking for 2 people at the same time, add 2 teaspoons etc) and 1 desert spoon of Olive Oil (for best taste, but if you don’t have any then sunflower oil is ok too) – because it’s oil, this stops the water boiling quicker than you might think, so bring to the boil again.
3) When boiling, add pasta as required and stir immediately. The Pasta will cool the water slightly, so bring back to the boil.
4) When boiling, turn heat under pan down so that the water is only just simmering – start your timer. No need to stir the pasta again – leave it well alone.
5) If you like your pasta al dente, 6-7 minutes is just fine. If you like it a little softer, leave it in longer but absolutely no longer than 10 minutes, despite what the packet says.
6) Drain and serve immediately.
Perfect pasta….every time.
Muuuuule
I bought one of those small digital timers from the dollar store to keep track of things. handy for cooking and laundry while im browsing….
….though, it only works if you set the timer…. >.>

I like Jan AP Kaczmarek’s Lost Souls. Some nice themes and choir in there, almost like a new age The Omen (before Betrami ruined >_<)
beware, you might be adding to my luggage!
I am listening to ‘winter guest’ by Kamen at the moment (and instantly fell in love with: my name is Elspeth) , and after that I will have a listen to ‘lost souls’ (which I have but, along with so many others, did not listen yet…)
I love his ‘Hachiko’ as well 🙂

I must be bored, answering to every post 😛 BUT i like movie reviews like yours: Now look what i’ve found in the net, hahaha:
D-War
"[…] Is this film awful? Absolutely. Incomprehensible? Sure. But I’ll guarantee that if you choose not to take it as seriously as the producer did, everything in Dragon Wars will make perfect sense — even if you have no idea what the hell is going on. A movie without a single redeeming quality that we highly recommend."
Anybody can post something like this too?

Thats interesting…but nothing can beat the shellacking critics put "The Last Airbender" through. Movie is making money though.
that will be the next one on my list, ‘lost souls’ playing now.
I like some tracks of lost souls a lot, but not all of the album, ‘winter guest’ I loved the whole album…
Muuuuule’s method for perfect pasta …
Now i guess we see each other in court, pal!!! waterboarding a living pasta is illegal not to mention the boiling part – and don’t you try put the blame on the pan, i roasted more seagulls in it than you can imagine and that’s why it’s on my side, booooooh! 😛

@minimouse
I don’t know, I would like to know too!
I would guess just the maker of the covers.

I agree. Watched in "Brain-Off" mode, D-War absolutely rocks. LOL.
the covers?? Oh! sounds reasonable?
….did anybody ever watch ‘Cloverfield’?
I asked myself, shortly before it ended, if they dared to let it end the way it had to.
I liked it because they did. 😉
What were we talking about…?
Silly Goddess, my music threads on the forum. The nature/native american and the varese ones
they are just taking a creative break 😉
🙂
That is the abbreviation that album cover designer Red Dragon aka plissken uses. He just makes album covers but does not provide downloads.
If you run a across "Gemini Designs" set of covers they were made by me. ;)…I don’t have a blog showcasing my work just yet.
On another subject, I’ve just come up with a new format for my score/soundtrack lists which provide more information but will take a while to implement because of the immense size of my collection .
Title (Year of Release) – Composer(s)
[Release Type – Label – No. of Tracks/Discs – Duration – Bitrate – Format/Compression Type – File Size]
Dune (1997) – Toto
[Non-Commercial/Expanded Score – Polydor – 17/1 – 00:40:59 – 320 kbps – MP3/CBR – 99.2 MB]
Hehe well I am no Borg…I need a new PC. I have to old Dells from 1998 that I have retro-fitted to the maximum. I now have loads of issues because of the age of the PC’s and a couple of faulty hard drives…but I hope I will be fully regenerated soon. 😉
Zoran is awesome like that Goddess
Nah just a power user. 😀

I am intrigued…PM me the direct link to the gif. My sense of offensiveness is nearly nonexistent.
LMAO I didn’t say to remove it! I’m not offended it was just fuckin weird haha.. 🙂

could you send it to me to please??
I need to feel a moment of being offended today *lol*

….did anybody ever watch ‘Cloverfield’?
I didnt like it so much. Loved Giacchino’s suite for it though.
I actually watched the whole movie through…there was nothing else to watch/do at the late late late hour :/
I liked the trailer more than the movie. Just like No Country for Old Men.
There’s a few movies where the trailer looks better than the actual outcome of the movie.
:loldata:
now tell me at ONCE where you found this picture of me!

Muuuule, Season 4 over 3 for Who??
Yeah – Season 3 CD is my least played of the three….just don’t really like the way it was put together…it’s, ya know, ok – and great that the music was even released in the first place – but season 4 wins out. There was a fan-made "expanded" season 3 CD that was actually better put-together. It was only actually expanded by one track, but some of the more annoying elements were also touched up…if I could take the fan-made one instead, then yes I would maybe take season 3…but my rule was it’s got to be commercially available.
Muuuule, Season 4 over 3 for Who??
Yep but I would suggest adding spoiler tags but that’s my own thing. Nice to see you are one of those cool gals who doesn’t have a hangup on that type of thing.
Yeech.
Abby! You look…different….somehow…. O_O
Viva-la-the-DL-thread!! I did my part! :}
Though, it’s funny… only the movie soundtrack threads seem to get closed off. I haven’t really seen a closed thread for the anime/vg soundtracks.
its completely mytsifying. in other sites, movie threads and trailer music threads are just as crazy! I dont get it!! its all music!
Well, anime/vg are more likely to use synth more than symph, so I dont know, maybe its prejudice against composition approaches??
like in Blade Runner, "Skin Jobs" against Humans…. @_@
I like the one line in Across the Universe… "music is the only thing that makes sense anymore"…but now…it seems like a lie??
D: cant be true!! *rocks back and forth* cant be true!!
Do you realize that in the first American Pie Trilogy, for all the raunch in those films, that there were ONLY 5 pairs of boobs.
But…
in the ensuing 4 spinoffs there were OVER 40 pairs of boobs.
This is a good thing! 🙂
Nostalgic! I didnt actually read his Morlocks…I remember everyone talking about them and I read parts in school…and I remember that Mel Gibson movie (another bad egg) "Ransom" talking about the Morlocks…
I cant watch that movie anymore… the idea of him yelling on the phone… :O
*rocks back and forth*
You know they wouldnt be a big deal…if everybody walked around topless 😉
Try Michael Crichtons "The Lost World". The only thing the movie (The Lost World: Jurrasic Park) kept from the book were the characters. ENTIRELY different story.
Yes, and a very good one.
There was actually more of the book "Jurassic Park" in the film The Lost World than the Lost World book. Ok, I’m aware that sentence makes little sense. How about this then – There are some scenes from the Jurassic Park book that appear in The Lost World movie, but hardly any scenes from the Lost World book. There is also one big scene from the Jurassic Park book in the movie Jurassic Park III (the aviary).
Sigh, they’re just breasts..and nipples….round beautiful..
Very much having to sit back from the desk to type at the moment.
Oh yeeeah! Not Danica Patrick!
Ew, I stopped reading the book, cus of the huge difference from the movie.
I liked the first movie and book the most.
*stops rocking back and forth*
3rd movie was okay, at least Dr Grant was back 🙂
I much rather enjoyed the booked to the first movie as much as I enjoyed the first movie 🙂
The book had some scenes in there that would fit the movie, but didnt make it.
The kids playing with the speakers and dino-sounds, only to scare Hammond half-to-death was funny!
But I think they should’ve elaborated on the flying birds at the end a little more, like Grant making a comment on them and how he’ll never know how the dinos will survive during the migrating season…
That was a neat little thing to read in the book…but confusing in the movie….
You know they wouldnt be a big deal…if everybody walked around topless 😉
I would certainly welcome this.
Do you like Danica Patrick?
good driver. No boobs!
Today Babydoll has upgraded her thread to a solid "R" rating 🙂
Yes, the book was still a great thriller just had nothing to do with the movie
I would certainly welcome this.
U and I are on the same page brother :naughty:
I will need more than one coffee to get over this 😉
they are very strict with their rules over there.
long story short, i read the rules then called someone out on them.
then one of the admins tells me that it wasnt against the rules…
though i feel it was…. :/
It’s legal to go nude in the UK – there are just too many NIMBY’s that go ape-shit over it (how DARE we reveal out bits in public! harumph! harumph!! This is after all the country that still has a problem with breast-feeding in public) and get Police and Courts involved who should be left to deal with – well – criminals. I’m a big fan of nude and rarely wear anything at home if I can get away with it. I should be comfortable going into my back garden nude but it isn’t going to happen – my neighbours – ahem – ain’t the type…they believe in covering every inch of the body up, not enjoying the air.
Perhaps, if guys did not make such a big deal about it, and just chilled, more women would feel safer and comfy with it…
Chilled really… 🙂
Morning Sorei!! You missed some of the fun! 😀
I guess my typing sometimes is just random letters too, and I do not have the excuse of being sedated 😉

good morning to you too, but it is not morning for you either, is it?? I am not awake enough to remember…

that thing with the rules is tricky, really, you always have to decide a new when to bend them or maybe not, what’s best at that moment….
poor night owl. going there is sure a brave thing to do. I’ll keep my fingers crossed.
[I do not no anybody who actually LIKES going there….]
well, 9.20 am at the moment, had trouble to stay in bed after a recent shoulder op that makes lying still a bit difficult, I decided it was better to get up…
another hour? you’ll make it! 🙂
and then off to bed to sleep?
[I do not no anybody who actually LIKES going there….]
Surprise, surprise! I like going there. I went there a couple of years ago to get 4 of my back teeth taken care of.
2 were growing in sideways in my upper jaw, and the other 2 were just compacting my lower jaw (for some reason, my lower jaw is smaller than normal, not by freakishly much, but still smaller).
It was fun. One had rotted inside so bad, they had to chisel and hack it apart into 6-7 peices. I went with the needles; the gas hurts my chest. I normally don’t go with anything, the needles are too wierd and irritating, and the gas, well, hurts my chest. That one tooth was so bad, i was in there for over 45 minutes. They wanted to use a hammer and 9" nail to whack it out…and if they had the tools, I would’ve let them try it. 😀
I had one tooth pulled (from lower jaw) with no gas or needles long time ago. I asked for it and they had to obey. They were shocked and tried to change my mind. It was a wierd and interesting feeling. Almost felt like nothing, really. More like flossing with uber-sized floss.
I actually like going to the dentist. keeps me healthy and aware of anything (no cavities means more candy from the drawer :D)
G’luck at the dentist!
PS: just kidding about the bandana Im wearing :}

wow, she is about to make some great steps in her development…

In one of the many, many stand-up comedy shows on my collection, i can’t remember wich comediant was but he synthesised the whole breast affair quite well. He said "The reason why women can’t understand mens fascination with breasts is ’cause they have them. They’re just there. If they want to look at them, they just have to look down… Hello, there you are. It’s a matter of access." But some people do go over the top. I mean, i like breasts… a lot. But i don’t drool all over when i see a pair. And i am a firm believer than in this case bigger is not always better. 🙂
I feel oddly soothed by tha fact in the 5 album lists, many, if not most, have at least one James Horner album….:) And since we all chose different horners, we will have lots to trade on that beach. ANd hammocks, quiet, and peace…ahhh…and more than a littl nudity..heehee
On, no, no one wants to see my naked body. Believe, i’ve seen it. Thats why i avoid mirrors now. 2 weeks on anti-depressives was enough. LOL.
does that state the rule or the exception then? 😉
(just kidding you)
….still need more coffee….

And scares the hell out of the cat. Now that i mention it, haven’t seen him in years… Oh, no!!!
and how do U know all of this? I thought I was the expert. I have much to learn.
Hey, we’re up to 15 pages…
Well that would be like holding a Hamburger up to Wimpy and saying just Chill 🙂
U were naked, naked? or naked, half naked but in society considered naked? 0_o
I know what U mean. I just went to the dentist for a checkup, when he told me a needed a cavity filled even though I had no pain. So I went to get it filled and AFTER had nothing but pain! So I went back, when he told me I needed a root canal on the same tooth and this is AFTER I paid for the filling. Effectively telling me I need a 2nd procedure on the same tooth. I want to shoot him 🙁
I have a son who is 7
It is just no big deal, really. All this fuss, over such silly things…
And now, someone’s gonna have to glue Madawson’s head back together again….
Moving on folks, moving on. Nothing to see here….
Well then can U teach my wife a few things about random nudity around the house? it would REALLY help. Thanx 😉
Better. Though being at work doesn’t help. LOL.
But on a serious note (rare thing), i have the utmost respect for the practice of nudism and those who, like you and your husband, practice it. I meant no disrespect to you, i’m just a clown that can’t seem to lose an opportunity to make a joke. I have got to stop doing that… though if it hasn’t happened in the last 35 years, i doubt it will happen any time soon. So i better just apologise in advance for the next time i make an ass of myself wich, i’m guessing, will be pretty soon.
OK, serious time over.
@Goisles01
Have you spoted any subs for Yamato Rebirth yet? I can’t find any yet.
You’d just have to…inspire her. It is just personal preference for me, but like my mom, who lives alone, will not go from the shower to the bedroom–one door–without getting fully dressed. Some people just don’t fell comfy about it, for whatever reason. Just can’t push that issue, I’m afraid…
Yeah – it’s just not some people’s thing….many reasons I think – it usually seems to be blamed on lack of confidence but I don’t buy that – I think it’s part of the problem some of the time but much other stuff going on too….
You’re like Amy Pond. You’re an anomaly, a fixed point in time and space.
That’s why you’re a goddess.
Does it show i’ve been watching Season 5 of Doctor Who?
it does explain you, a little, it is like your family always wore black pullovers and you wear white ones, you’re doing a bit of the opposite of your parents…
you bring in the open what hasn’t been talked about.

PS: in the other thread, I did not know if el dorado was vs, so I asked if we needed to talk about the movie (to share link via pm)…. I hadn*t seen rightaway th link was broken…

my family was the same way.
Am I the only one here who has never, EVER, watched 1 episode of Dr Who?
so you have the chance to change a little bit of that now with your seven year old!

I wanna post that list of links, the new one, but i just don’t feel like combing through every title for VS just now…

I understand…please don’t get me wrong, but you have to be careful. this boy will grow up with his father’s proud smile in his mind when he starts ‘connecting’ with girls doing just the same thing.
Don’t underestimate him – children are extremly perceptive – , he can ‘smell’ your pride behind the ‘this is not ok’ and might draw the wrong conclusions concerning his interactions with girls. As to what is ok (and will make his father proud)

Made more worse because he has a disability. trust me I do not encourage this and we have bigger issues with him. He already is talking about how he wants to rule the world & blow everybody up when he doesnt get his way. We call him Cobra Commander! A dictatorial tyrant! but then he turns around and does something to make U really proud. My bigger problem is with my wife!
sorry to hear that…
this is a difficult situation for all involved, as children know their parents have problems and react to that.
ever thought about councelling?

yes, but it takes 2 to tango & my wife doesnt see a problem. I guess she believes husbands & wives not being "together" for 6 of a 10 year marriage is normal. I do not. 🙁
and this is the reason I have no problem talking about boobs :love: with strangers 🙂
by the way why r u referred to as Admiral?
By the by my son was watching "Tom & Jerry" on Utube today. It was more of the recent ones & I saw "Music by Michael Giacchino" I swear is there anything this man doesnt do?… TV, Movies, Cartoons & Video Games. Some Resume

I was promoted by the goddess.
really sorry. it is a difficult situation when one person feels there is a problem more than the other.
In that topic (being "together") lots of couples have problems, specially after having given birth. Ok, a woman’s chemistry can change during the process, still, even if she is fine the way it is now, she should still care about the fact that you are NOT and should be willing to try to find a solution or at least accept that it is a problem for you.

I know that. Look @ my collection list. I can tell U right now I dont think ive listened to half of them…yet.
Especially when the piano just creeps through some of the cues.
well I got them listed allright, but not all of them are named with quality in the end.
I usually name my soundtracks: (movie)title-composer-year-number of tracks-quality
like:
A Cloud On The Slope – Joe Hisaishi & VA(2009)13@vbr
but several are without quality, just name of the movie and composer.
Like suzie wong *sigh*
I don’t even know if I want to hear it, but: 56 kbps?? Hey!

I try one or two albums a week…..

I just read your signature. thats like in "Monty Python & the Holy Grail" when Eric Idle wants to become a woman so he can have babies but he cant because he doesnt have a womb. Michael Palin then says that even though he cant have babies that they will fight for his RIGHT to have babies. prompting John Cleese to say…
Cleese: Whats the point of us having to fight for his right to have babies when he cant actually have babies???
Palin: Its a symbol of our struggle against oppression!!!
Cleese: Its a symbol of his struggle against reality!!! 🙂
I am making a concerted effort to listen to one or two albums a day that i have never heard. Been at it for weeks, I’m all the way up to AVP..:b

well, let us define reality. Before there was penecelline, people were to die with certain injuries or sicknesses. Was to search for a cure a fight against reality? Maybe so. Reality can be changed sometimes 🙂
(which they thank me for)
The line "fight against reality" wasnt meant to imply everybodys fight is against reality. it was just the end line to a funny skit. I hope i didnt offend on a day we talked about nudity and boobs.

The Enterprise E…
Niiiiiiice. What model is it and what scale? The only ST model i currently have on display is Bandai’s Enterprise 1701-A in 1/850 scale. It was prepainted and mostly snap fit but it looks very good, especially with the lights on. It’s not as big as other renditions out there but with my limited skills in terms of painting, Bandai’s models are the only way i have to make a presentable piece.
I have Macross Frontier’s Skull Squadron on stand by for over a year, only built the VF-25F. Despite being a snap-fit model, it is one of the most complex pieces of model engineering i’ve ever seen. Fortunately, since parts are mostly molded in the color they’re suposed to have, all you need are a few touch-ups here and there to make it look awesome. Gotta build the rest, especially the VF-25S Armored.
Oh, boy, there i go. When i start talking about things i’m passionate about i tend to rant a bit.
Anyway, the E looks very good. More pics, please??? 🙂
what ban?

maybe baby can provide the link but awhile back Mr Townson stated to cease and desist with posting his soundtracks or the site will be shut down.
best I know 😉
Ok, you drop dead for the defiant, I drop dead for the ‘E’ then…
and since this is his "baby" most here wont want to even try the ops I forgot reason 😉
Yeah, it’s not the first that a composer got involved and made bans happen.
It was so beautiful! The sun was setting. I felt like lying facedown where the water meets the shore, just like in the movie!

still have to see it 🙂
…sounds like one of those (perfect) moments though!
also, if anyone remembers The Flight of Dragons back in ’82, there’s no official release of the score to this date.
The only thing you’ll ever find, is a remix by a youngin’, Jesse Stipek, who asked Maury Law for the score sheets personally, and was given them! :O
The remix consists of the original score with a few added elements. Very nice!
Worth a watch and a favorite!
Jesse is also a part of Tricofilms, a group of 3 young filmmakers who are currently working on a major project with the help of Anthony Hopkins, more information on their channel.
Yeah, that’s the only reason i didn’t buy it from HLJ, the hefty price tag. But Fine Molds is releasing a smaller scale version at about 50 dollars. Very tempting. I have the fat sided AMT model. Despite the much better and accurate detail in the Fine Molds model, the AMT is not a bad kit but those side panels kill the look. Any way, it’s a beautiful piece of art you’ve got there.
ok,listening too now.
(was listening to ‘last dance’ -Isham before)
(was listening to ‘last dance’ -Isham before)
Isham has some really nice music. I love "No Such Thing As Monsters" from Crash (2005?), the Sandra Bullock, Matt Dillon movie.
He’s got some nice horror music too, The Crazies, The Myst.
I love the few plucks of strings in "Won’t anyone see a lady home" and there’s another track on there too that has the strings plucked and echoes. It’s so subtle and slight, even in lossless, it’s hard to pick up sometimes.

life as a house is great too. and crossing over.
I haven’t been into his horror scores, I am just discovering his work besides crash (which I love) and galapagos and the jazz stuff he did.
I will listen to thunderheart tomorrow again, not bad at all.
good night 🙂

Who’s watched the movie?
Just found this amazing video that compares Edith Piaf to first track on the Inception soundtrack!!! Blew my mind away!!!
http://www.multiupload.com/2G59VA60CK
the heist and actual inception was cool but the wife stuff didn’t connect with me.
Eames and Arthur though made a cute couple
I love the soundtrack! Always been an HZ fan. I like his Dan Brown soundtracks a lot.
A&D the most. 160 BPM!
then ofcourse, their work sounds similar to his and SOME of them branch out and find their own sound [Gregson-Williams and Powell] while others sound like clones [Djwadi]
I like Powell out the bunch. Jablonsky has some hits and misses.
The Island and the first Transformers were his best.
His horror genres are deeply needing improvement.
I think his best horror soundtracks were Texas Chainsaw: The Begining & Nightmare on Elm Street. Though ANOES could’ve used a little more of the traditional theme in it, even as an homage.
But for the most part, it has a nice atmosphere. A few thrilling themes to remember "It’s hot in here", but mostly just atmosphere. Nice ambiance to have in the background for doing stuffs.
It kinda does suck that he does the core of the music and then goes off to do something else to let everyone else build around it.
Djwadi did okay for Clash. I liked the main theme for that movie, and some of the darker atmospheres of Djinn and Medusa. The mood and soundscape is what really attracts me to the Media Ventures work.
I love the soundtrack! Always been an HZ fan. I like his Dan Brown soundtracks a lot.
A&D the most. 160 BPM!
I consider myself to be a fan as well. Although not all of his stuff is *mine*, but yes, the dan brown ones, specially "dies mercurii I Martius"…
Although my 2 favorites are (I admit it) MI2 and King Arthur.
I loved "Beyond Rangoon" too though. (For my ears not that "zimmerish", but lovely)
Isham has done an awful lot, and I start thinking I like a lot of his work. Not only 2 or 3 scores. Like Kacmarek and Portman. Theirs is – for my taste – a steady and reliable yes, maybe Doyle too.
I still have to look deeper in Yared and Nyman (which will take months, I tend to listen to something I know and love, and in between something I don’t know)
Jablonsky , yes, transformers, haven’t heard anything from him that comes close…
I haven’t seen Inception either, but I will, might take a little while though.
🙂
@babydoll
your post looked GREAT btw (colourgoddess)
Hmmm, wonder what that says about me?
welcome to the club 😀
QUESTION:
….what are your *constant* loves (like babydolls Horner), names you tend to ‘take’ without knowing what’s going to come, and what are your *one-score-loves*?
One score loves for me seem to be ‘into the west’ – Zanelli for example.
Or ‘Let the right one in’ – S???derquist
Meds kick in. Rant over.
Meds kick in. Rant over.
agreed. I don’t care if it is repeating, some poeple call that style 😉
I don’t like it because it is a specific name, but because I found that the style of this composer is appealing to me.
🙂
Not because of "Label hunting" or something like that….
sorry, I am afraid you’re just crazy…
I do know what you are describing, too!
🙂
FLOW LIKE WATER is such an incredible track and the score is miles beyond INCEPTION for me and the best scores of the year so far
FLOW LIKE WATER is such an incredible track and the score is miles beyond INCEPTION for me and the best scores of the year so far
ok, listening now 🙂
[wow! ‘flow like water’ really sounds great, I love stuff like that!]
crazy indeed, but we allll need to be a little crazy :}
I love those battle drums that play over the army of hogs, preparing for battle. I just LOVE LOVE LOVE percussion!!
"Arrival to Earth" is just so beautiful, if I lost the entire soundtrack and had to choose one song to recover, it would be that one!!
And it’s not always a combination of both. I can listen to score and see the movie, if I watched it.
I actually like listening to scores before seeing the movie. It builds my imagination. And then when I watch the movie, I’m like "hey! that’s track so-and-so!"
Some movies and their scores are just meshed though. Think of the Star Wars trilogy, Jaws, Superman, or Raiders. You cannot listen to those and not think of the movie, nor imagine the movies without those scores. These days, for me, it is not like that. I can listen to Clash of the Titans, the new one, and just not really picture the movie. It could be any number of newer movies for me. Sad times I think…
EDIT:
And, even if some of us can still notice the music, I bet most can’t. You will not catch people humming the theme to inception, or notice it on tv, but Superman, Raiders, these are well known even in the general public..
Agreed! After watching Star Wars so much as a kid, listening to the Tie Fighters track from EpIV, I can still hear the tie fighters screaming by lmao.
And watching the movie, me and my brothers will all hum the tune, or make sounds to imitate it haha.
I think my family are about the only ones I know that will say "is that from so-and-so?". I got everyone listening to the music, cus if they saw a movie that I didn’t, I always "who did the music?" "What was it like?"
THE LAST AIRBENDER didn’t make much of an impression the first time i head it but saw the film [it was…ok] and wow, it was amazing.
FLOW LIKE WATER is such an incredible track and the score is miles beyond INCEPTION for me and the best scores of the year so far
Such a good soundtrack. I dont really want to see the movie, but I wanted to hear JNH 😀
Yea, thats a nice track. My only problem with Airbender is the fact that I am a big fan of the series, and am very much missing the music from it…the movie score doesn’t really capture the same mood, if you know what I am saying. So, while it is a nice score, it still…disappointed ina way. It is better for me to listen to it just to listen. Still need to see the movie though…GO SUKI !!! heheheh
Yeah, from what I hear, the movie was a let-down. Which isn’t surprising, considering the director…. >.>
But, from listening to the soundtrack, it defintely has a different mood than the animated Nick series.
I’m surprised it doesn’t have the Secret Tunnel song in it!!! :@
He was boring on screen.
Hit Girl and Big Daddy were the best!
Red Mist was okay…
But the score is really good!!
Ennio Morricone for Hit Girls infiltration is awesome!!!
The Warehouse scene was superb!!
Then lagged when Ass-Kicked did his narration…but then "MINDY!!" showed up and killed everyone!! 😀
I didn’t care much for the cop that was sort-of helping out Big Daddy.
I liked Mark Strong, he plays a good bad guy, as usual.
The mobster-goons he had running around…dont even realise when they die, like who’s who. I think they are all "expendables"!!! 😀
And as for the English teacher…the one responsible for so many tissue…she looks a LOT older in the movie than she is in real life, she’s only in her 30’s, but the movie makes her look like she’s in her late 40’s!!
I give the moive a solid 6/10!
The VA sountrack a wavering 4/10
The Score a gratifying 9/10!!! (only missing one due to it not yet on CD)
I mean, the medic should’ve remembered when he found Kick-ass the first time and got rid of the costume. Records/logs should point to him, even just pull up records on the date/time when kick-ass was stabbed.
With all the fame, you’d think the medic and anyone else in the ambulance would’ve thought about it, and at least made attempts to contact him.
…..joke? I need some godly support here….. making a fool out of me because I a have no clue….?
GEMS FROM THE PAST:
Mrs. Millers Greatest Hits
11 tracks @itdoesn’tmatteranyway
http://rapidshare.com/files/137461894/Mrs_Millers_Greatest_Hits.rar
or
http://www.megaupload.com/?d=KZ7Q7UN0
From The Original Uploader:
My musical taste, while steeped in the magnificent tasteful martini-soaked era of easy listening and lounge, stretches the envelope, somewhat, to include gems of the utterly tasteless, the long forgotten and sundry Difficult Listenings.
I adore LPs that are incomprehensibly uncool and even appallingly bad (see the majestic Kiama Girls Choir, Jamie Redfern etc) and one such is Mrs. Miller???s Greatest Hits
Where does one start with Mrs Miller?
www.mrsmillersworld.com has this to say
???In April 1966, under the roar of Vietnam and a raging counter-culture, emerged a singer like no other. Off-pitch and off-tempo, a 59 year-old grandmother would perform rock standards such as "Hard Days Night", "Downtown", and "These Boots and Made for Walking" in a bizarre operatic style. Often considered the worst pop star of all time, she rode the line between farce and reality, as the reputable Capitol Records promoted the so-called "new sound" without cracking a smile. Her name was Elva Connes Miller, but on stage she was known simply as Mrs. Miller.???
If you???re not prepared for the moment when she starts to, for want of a better word, ???sing??? the timeless classic Downtown, then take care not to inhale your margarita.
Actually this copy belongs to our friend Ivanskipoo and, as you can see, the cling-wrap was still on it I thought it prudent to leave it on. As an extra bonus, the inner sleeve is a genuine classic 1966 Capitol Records advert.
Normally I???d say ???download and enjoy??? but in this case, perhaps ???download and endure??? is more appropriate.
01 – Downtown
02 – The Shadow Of Your Smile
03 – Hard Days Night
04 – Dear Heart
05 – Chim Chiminee
06 – These Boots Are Made For Walking
07 – Lover’s Concerto
08 – Let’s Hang On
09 – Catch A Falling
10 – Gonna Be Like That
11 – My Love
Thx to Shadrac Blintz for the original upload.
Mrs. Miller’s … idea of music.
Not necessarily the soundtrack thread, but start a new thread.
There’s plenty of threads just for one album. No rules about that.
But this is the General Discussion, the admins/mods will execute on sight! D:
BTW, there’s so much talk in the Hunt thread. And a lot of us keep saying "go to the GD thread"….but still….
I even have this thread bookmarked!!! D:
And yeah, I didnt read the comics, but she may have in the comics. but i didnt read the comics do i dont know.
it’s a funny movie. the last half is way better than the first half.
Though I find it ridiculous that everyone thinks he’s gay because they think he got raped…..like he volunteered for it to happen….not that it did happen…but its pretty stupid and very high-schoolish for them to think that under circumstance.
I actually hate that part of the movie. It’s like it was written in the 80’s!! D:
But it picks up after when the dynamic duo is in jeopardy.
The Strobe Light scene is my favorite.
When he sets the place on fire and yells something in Satanic Latinish…
I edited my talking posts with no download links to show the clip.
and so long as discussion happens in the dl, the clip will speak!
This is true in the UK.
See? Im not the only one who heard about it!!
My itunes is f’ed up, and I lost all of my playlists
*pulls out the talking paperclip*
Thanks! It’s one of my favorite scenes. The score for that part is absolutely phenomenal too!
…my 160 GB iPod classic holds my near-1,000 albums just fine 🙂
i need one of those!
I have one! I LOVE it. It holds all my music, plus some audiobooks and podcasts and whatnot, and I’ve still got some room left. 😀 And it’s held up way better than my 60GB iPod; I’ve dropped it three or four times and it’s only a little banged up on the casing.
:fairybatman:
(Although it’s not actually able to hold a full 160GB. It’s only got, like, 148GB of free space. The rest is programming stuff I assume?)
plus sfx. i love sfx. i’ll get a game, like Lord of the Rings: Battle for Middle Earth, just to extract all the sfx! It’s alternative music to my ears.
Then there’s the old CD’s with mp3 and other lossy formats….
But if I were to sum up all my favorite tracks…..probably one iPod with 160GB will suffice.
I like to have the entire album, unless it’s someone like Marylin Manson, I’ll grab the tracks I know I like.
oh yeah, and audiobooks too.
Dan Brown, The Once and Future King, Dexter series.

What the heck have I been using??? O_O
Woah and my psionic powers reveal to me it is already thirteen month’ since you visited his grave :O

I report if I know the links to be VS, but also send PMs with a link to the forum rules too.
And yeah, Hans Zimmer and everyone else at Media Ventures will all pitch in to do the job.
John Williams is old school. No "additional music by" or anything. He does like to work Iztak Perlman, they make a great team.
But as for Media Ventures, there isn’t a single soundtrack without someone else from the studio tagging a long.
Danny Elfman will do a lot of work then move on to something else before completing it.
If I remember, there were a few sountracks that were done quickly, or in favor of doing another soundtrack…
But all I remember is something about these ones…
Batman Returns
Nightmare Before Christmas

At least you were able to catch now.
I tend to keep system restored disabled in case something finds its way there D:
Some of those .dll’s are in strange places too.
Hope that fixes your problems.
I love MalwareBytes, never startup with out it! 😉
Goodluck with your restorations.
But on the other hand I am elated over finding a nearly complete discography of Tangerine Dream in 320. 😀
I am currently upgrading my collection and downloading new albums…to me anyway.

Maybe after this I’ll catch a break. :/
You should browse "Vundo". That little bastard will scare the sh*t out of you. I got mine through the official Adobe site (Demo Software). It is big time corporate spyware. What’s next? (don’t be scared, i completely formatted my HD, the only way i could get rid of it)
Eek! sounds nasty.

And Im just learning about this new Sherlock. Ive just watched the Guy Ritchie movie.
But im curious about the new bbc series.
btw………………………….lost track of what i was gonna talk about!!!!!! D:
But im curious about the new bbc series.
It was created by Steven Moffat (Doctor Who’s new producer) and Mark Gattis (League of Gentlemen, Doctor Who) and is a modern take on Sherlock Holmes. Instead of another version in good old victorian London, it brings the characters to our days with quite astonishing effectiveness. Benedict Cumberbatch and Martin Freeman play Sherlock and Watson. As a fan of the Jeremy Brett era series, i quite liked Guy Ritchies movie but the setting of this series gives us the same good old Holmes in a world where mobile phones and blogs are used as tools to catch the bad guys. References to the original stories will keep the fans smiling. Really good stuff.
And for those interested, the music score is made by David Arnold and Michael Price and fits the series quite well. The main themes are quite good.
Is there a score out yet???
Does he still shot VR into the walls??
Oh yeah, they aired this in my country too, great series! By the way. I could upload the soundtrack 🙂

The series just ended. Pity it’s only 3 episodes (they are 90 minutes long so they’re more like TV movies), though presumably more are already being planed. So no soundtrack yet and, as far as i know, no plans to publish one, wich is a shame. The music is quite good.
As for shooting VR, i’m not sure what you mean. He shoots a wall at the appartment because, and i quote "I was bored". The DVD/Bluray for the whole series, plus the unaired 60 minute pilot and a few more extras, is to come out in August 30th.
Oh yeah, they aired this in my country too, great series! By the way. I could upload the soundtrack 🙂
Mr. Brett was one of a kind. I think that Robert Downey Jr. did play the part quite well but Cumberbatch is better.
I got the score about a month ago, not sure about the bitrate. But am interested in more details on what you have. It is one of those scores that is a bit hard to find so any user here would be surely pleased.
Edit: A thread has been created for the series at Thread 78117
The Guy Ritchie movie did it and I looked that up after cus I had my suspicion that it meant Victoria.
and olafolaf, please upload the soundtrack! 😀
in the download section of course.
bwt, does anyone know what this classical music is from???
I got it on my disc, and I dont remember where from. and its not tagged or anything…. :/
The Guy Ritchie movie did it and I looked that up after cus I had my suspicion that it meant Victoria.
Oh, didn’t remember that. As i said, in the last episode he shoots one of the appartment walls but i don’t think he writes anything. VR in today’s world wouldn’t make as much sense as in victorian days, of course. But there is a smiley face thing painted on the wall wich seems to be what he’s aiming at.
Anyhoo, ever notice how Zimmer and many others now have "helpers" on the scores, or it takes two or three to get a decent job done? I NEVER have seen "music by J williams, and some other people"….:b
Well. Actually. I wasn’t going to mention this, but I was had a chance to work with a composer who was introduced as "John Williams ghost writer." That was eight years ago. His stuff sounded great, but, alas, it didn’t work out. unfortunately, I can’t go into further details.

It’s 5.1, so the bitrate is 448, better than 320.
But is that still lossy? 448?
When I rip, I’m going to use DVD Audio Extractor to rip into 2.0 WAVE files (downmixed), then edit them into tracks.
I rather like this one a lot, I believe Carter Burwell commentates every so often. I remember there’s a few areas where there’s no music and no commentary.
I think it was either this one or Rush Hour by Lalo Schifrin that they talked about the different composers and different methods of scoring. Like some will cue their music to match the on-screen visuals. Others will match the mood/atmosphere more than trying to make it look synchronised.
I think it’s neat, learning that. Really gives a new perspective on the music you listen to.
I love Philip Glass, and it’s so rare that he’ll he synchronize with hits and stingers and other rises. For the most part, the tempo and melody will change with the dialog or situation. He’s got really beautiful music.
I think when I rip them into WAV, I’ll save them in FLAC. Largely due to it being higher than 320.
And I’m not a fan of other formats like .ogg, wma, and what have you.
And .wav is simply too big.
Any opinions???
Film and Televisoin!!
nice sorting guys at shrine!!
The default search is to show threads instead of posts.
If what you search for is in a megathread, you’ll have to enter that thread and do a search in there as well "Search this thread"…but you have to wait 60 seconds in between searches.
With the new laws, no one will have to search twice. The thread with the title of the music you’re looking for can be found so easily.
I like it. It will be difficult for most newbies to understand this as most newbies don’t read forum rules.
There times where I search for "Max Payne" but end up with a million mega threads or pointless threads that involve either word and has nothing to do with Max Payne soundtracks (move/games).
The "Law of 2" is sound.
The only thing I see is, that uploaders get more post counts.
It’s 5.1, so the bitrate is 448, better than 320.
But is that still lossy? 448?
It’s lossy. Very lossy, in fact. 448 means, that every channel uses around 75 kBit/s. You can compare the quality with a stereo file, that has 150 kBit/s. So technically, you won’t have a better quality than a 192 MP3. You can’t add some lossy channels and suddenly it’s lossless. The higher frequencies are cropped within every channel, so merging them together never restores those areas in order to making them lossless.That’s why we prefer isolated scores on Blurays. They are stored in lossless there.
Well shit! I dont have bluray, and no one uploads bluray isolated scores either.
They always add the crappy commentaries.
Otherwise, I would work with that. :/
They always add the crappy commentaries.
Otherwise, I would work with that. :/
I think there is no Bluray release of The Corruptor yet, so no chance for a lossless release anyway.
>_<
I did a search, and there was nothing. I hope more bluray movies come out with iso scores.
Now that’s just naughty. Congratulation on your multiple. 🙂
😀
[I’ll you sunday evening]
With respect, it’s not quite that simple…
1. In a 5.1 isolated score, the ".1" is a low-bitrate bass channel (it only encodes frequencies up to 120hz which is almost completely outside of the human hearing spectrum – it requires the merest [almost negligible] fraction of the bitrate of the other channels, which retain frequencies up to 20,000hz. So, effectively we’re talking about 5 channels @ 448kbps, for an average bitrate per channel of 90 kb/s.
2. Compression algorithims exploit the aural similarities between channels to aid compression. A 256kbps stereo file is not equivalent in sound quality to a 128kbps mono file. (See Joint Stereo). A 256kbps four channel file is not equivalent in sound quality to a 64kbps mono file. Etc, etc, etc.
3. The benefits of these similarities would be multiplied across five channels.
You have painted an unnecessarily gloomy picture, I feel… 😉
If you are ripping an isolated score from a DVD, and you don’t want to release the AC3 source file, it is worth saving the final output losslessly to prevent further degradation that would occur if you were to take a lossy source and compress it again.
Personally, I would just upload the original AC3s and allow folk to transcode it as they saw fit. I’d rather download a 448kbps AC3 then a ~900kbps FLAC derived directly from that very same AC3. 😉
Obviously the preference would always be for a lossless source from Bluray… I had no idea they were still doing isolated scores on Blurays, though – that’s very happy news for me! I haven’t made the jump yet. There was a time when quite a significant number of DVDs has isolated scores, and then they just started to disappear… 🙁

*raises his Spock-brow* Fascinating.
I would upload the tracks in AC3, however, most of the software I work with are limited in that respect.
There are two methods in which I extract the isolated score…
A) A plethora of stand-alone programs consisting of DVD Shrink (from the DVD to chapters, or sections of the score… in parts… saved in .ifo/.vob on the hard drive); PGC Demux to extract the AC3 file; BeSweet/BeLight GUI to split the AC3 file into separate MONO WAV files (if it’s 5.1 isolated score, I can edit it so the commentary in the center channel that sometimes overlaps the score and save the commentary and score as separate tracks), or if it’s just stereo, save it as a stereo WAV file edit accordingly; and lastly, to edit the files, I use Goldwave (I don’t like the freeware Audacity).
Goldwave doesn’t allow editing of 5.1 sources. And when it comes to 5.1, I omit the .1 and check to see if the center channel has any commentary that overlaps the score and edit for a proper score track.
B) I use DVD Audio Extractor and do the same, but with much less steps to get them into Goldwave.
I never used to use DVD Audio Extractor, as it never really allowed you to split the 5.1 into separate MONO WAV files.
So, the reason I would save in FLAC is to avoid saving it in lossy mp3 format.
And saving in such a format, I’m not entirely sure what the accurate bitrate would be. Google provides little information on the matter. I keep getting forums with lengthy debates and no substantial articles of information.
HydrogenAudio is full of debates and confusion. Plus, they also do not support any fashion of piracy, so I tend to avoid that place altogether.
None of the editing programs I use will save in AC3.
As I understand it, I would have to edit the MONO WAV files individually and use one of many programs that can create AC3, given you have the WAV files to import.
However, creating an AC3 involves proper configuration and many more steps to get the final lossy AC3.
I find that since I have already transcoded the files to WAV (due to the every program I use transcodes it to WAV), I’ll save it in FLAC for less space and without quality degradation by saving it in mp3.
So there’s the dilemma. Until the bluray comes out…. and if it has the isolated score.
Though, I think isolated scores are more rare on bluray. I don’t think Donnie Brasco has an isolated score on its bluray release.
And American Psycho didn’t either. I know the region 4 of American Psycho had an isolated score on it.
Found it’s label…. >.>
So much violence and blood in it. A lot darker than the Dark Knight too.
I so thought I would be passed out at this point…alas, I am not…
Thanks again for this Burwell-fest!!
I might have the lossless Knight’s Tale up within time!! :O
Just released , Midnight Movie by Penka Kouneva , very good scary horror score, support my friend Penka and buy it, thanks!!
It’s not fake, it’s ripped from the 5.1ch files on the episodes themselves. As for why, i liked the score on the show and since it seems it won’t get published, i thought i take a shot at making a bootleg or whatever.

VGM FILM SCORE HUNT THREAD HAS BEEN CLOSED DOWN DUE TO THE FUCKING BULLSHITTING BITCHING FLAMERS. FUCK ALL OF YOU WHO COULDN’T SHUT UP!!!
My first and last swear words on this thread (unless i put them in a positive context like "fu*king great)".
sniff! 🙁
agreed.
I was away the weekend and I could not believe what I read earlier this evening.
🙁
So, who’s opening a new thread then? 🙂
Oh, and Sarah? Why is the lossless soundtrack thread still closed?
So, who’s opening a new thread then? 🙂
I assume it got deleted, but I really wonder where all the aggression comes from.
I had the time to read it, nothing substantial – in my opinion – more of a flame , disrespectfull and not fair.
before I could figure whether to reply or not, thread was closed and the post was gone.
The lossless thread was closed because it was requested by the starter and that too had gotten way out of control.

Sarah also called you an ass, which I lol’d at.
If I had to guess, it was Abaddon reincarnate. But yeah Sarah must have deleted that post. Not surprising. Kind of glad that thread has closed down.
I didn’t. There were some certain rules the contributers followed, like not double- or triple-posting where possible. Babydoll infringed that and I found it worth spoken out.
Totally unneccessary , not only when it comes to sharing.
I too had difficulties finding out whether something had been posted before or not.
(she never said that post counts meant anything? I mean, who did anyway? I did not understand that criticism, to be honest, so what if she posted one album in one post?)
@taybo20
yes, abbadon at least that would fit the manner of speaking.
I saw Jessie’s warning and then Sarah’s warning, all in the last 24 hours.
Yet people persisted. I knew it wouldn’t be too long before it closed out, that was way, way, way too much chit-chat.
Even if it was relevant, only 1 or 2 posts were needed, max. Then back to DL links.
Or even a PM.
But, the haters and the haters hating the haters, all that fuel just added to the fire that ultimately burned down the house.
I’m going to be creating a mini-thread of my soundtrack (with separate threads), but updating my non-multiupload posts with multiupload links.
Soon though…once I get my computer heavily organized and put a dent in free space.

Got any recommendations?
I dont go here much but you can try here.
That way discussion is encouraged, and you still get your download links. It just won’t be under the Film, Television and Classical Music Download Links section. But at least you can stay in touch with each other and continue in the megathread tradition, if you feel more comfortable that way.

My intuition tells me, that as soon as we are posting links in here, the thread becomes to a new score thread and will be closed as fast as the second thread.
It was never quite what it should be. Scoreman’s original mandate was abandoned almost immediately as its scope expanded to a free for all, basically, a film score forum within the forum.
It was handy, but it worked against the basic structure of the overall forum, that is, requests in the requests section and posts in various download section. During the survey of dl section reform, I looked back over the older posts and found that the single album per thread style, is, in fact, the way it actually began.
With the structure change to requiring new threads for each album (and whatever ‘new feature’ is in the works,) clearly, they are trying to steer it back to what it was.
And then there’s the crazy talk. I’ve gone through a bunch of forums, much, much ruder than that one had become, but, honestly, who needs it? Keeping the request and download threads more on point cuts down on the opportunity for people to be dicks.
General chit chat goes here, or on other similar discussions boards. That’s what they’re for. Questions and answers about bitrate and track numbers and editions and so forth go with either the request (if it hasn’t been posted,) or on the posted album page if it has. This also tends to keep the topics on point.
Is this less convenient than the good old free for all that was the film score thread? Absolutely. Is it worth it not to have the headaches? Time will tell, but I believe so.
as for starting a new version. Well, until the reasons the previous one went nuts can be fixed (and now is not the time for that discussion, everybody needs to calm down and sleep it off. Give it six months at least.) they’re not going to give any chance to start it over again.
For the record, I’m a fan of megathreads, and not only am I not giving up my Galactica thread, I have other things in the works. I realize that it will involve a lot (a whole lot,) of separate posts as well, but to me, that’s the price of doing business. I did a test the other night, and for me at least, it wasn’t a hassle.

There’s already been 2 posted.

The only good thing about that is that posts can be categorized by composer. But discussions would be hard to keep alive in a blog format.
Nah, I rather stick to the forum that opened after the first FFS crisis, even though it constricts the discussions quite a bit.
I asked and got the answer that maybe they will try again, but not now…

Hmm. Maybe after all of the changes are fully implemented and running.

I believe they are announcing 2 more cds this evening.
Two more new releases are coming your way this Tuesday, August 17! We’ll post artwork and samples for both CDs on Monday the 16th, sometime before we go home for the day.
One features an incredibly intense, action-oriented score for a tough eighties thriller, composed by a popular and very well-represented Oscar winner. In fact, it might just be his darkest score to date. Listeners will no doubt enjoy discovering such a grim side to this frequently bright musician. The other CD sports a reissue of a title first available as a generous LP when the movie opened in the eighties, then appearing again on a very short-lived CD a few years later. Yep. Another Oscar-winning composer showing off, here writing in his most popular and exciting style. Bold, robust, dynamic stuff. And a powerhouse finale that ranks with the best of ’em!
Im not good at the guessing games either, and Ill probably forget about it. But word usually gets around pretty fast, and its always someones grail , 🙂
Well Im sure about this but sometimes Roger gives hints with his avatar, and his avatar is Goldsmith’s Damnation Alley.
The only one Ive heard of is maybe Williams Family Plot. With Horner it could be anything.
most likely it is, officially, one the not-so-good-goldsmith-scores:
medicine man….

Where did MaD and bi0 ever end up? Those guys used to post scores weeks in advance of their actual release dates. I have no idea how they did it, but they were the heart and soul of the Film Score/VGM Hunt Thread and kept that place running in its prime.
The thing I most liked about the megathread (back in its heyday 1-2 years ago) was that you could actually keep up with which releases came out in chronological order because people would post them as soon as they were released. I didn’t have to check any of the release dates or anything, I just had to check one thread and knew they would be posted there as soon as they were available. Now with the chaos of having to sort through individual posts, random things are posted at any given time and bury all the potential new releases. It’s a fucking pain in the ass to keep up with all the newer stuff. It’s not worth it, and I’m with FunnyML on this one. I’m finding a better place to keep up with my new releases.
And I still haven’t fucking found a download link Dinner for Schmucks yet. I guess NOBODY likes Theodore Shapiro.
Patience, I’m after the following scores and their release date is just tomorrow.
NANNY MCPHEE RETURNS (James Newton Howard) – 24 Tracks, 17.08.
DINNER FOR SCHMUCKS (Theodore Shapiro) – 23 Tracks, 17.08.
CHARLIE ST. CLOUD (Rolfe Kent) – 21 Tracks, 17.08.
NANNY MCPHEE RETURNS (James Newton Howard) – 24 Tracks, 17.08.
DINNER FOR SCHMUCKS (Theodore Shapiro) – 23 Tracks, 17.08.

What’s the difference between Nanny Mcphee Returns and Nanny Mcphee and the Big Bang?? I have that release and its 24 tracks as well…

Do you have the score? Because if you don’t I could erm..pm it to you
I love the Nanny McPhee Series – and the sequel lives up to the original completely. It wasn’t really a curse – it was more of just a metaphor I believe..to show the transformation of the kids… Sure its a bit corny but its meant to be that way 😉 So she shows up in her ugly form in the second as well.. you haz to see it ^_^

even defending someone else is a lost cause. good intentions, but ultimately futile in online arguments.
the haters have the ball in their court and always will, and they’ll never run out pf things to say either. worst case scenario, they get you worked up, laugh at you then they take the steps to publicly apologize and ask for everyone to move on. but, while they do it with a smirk aimed at you, they’ll hope the anger they built up in you is enough for you to lash out at them and call their bluff so they can look like the bigger person.
Trust me, ignoring all negativity will end it. If they persist on larger levels, they can get banned. You win.

I come back here after a few days and there is just flames abounded in a number of threads, on top of people failing to listen to the new rules, which led to the forced closing of Scoreman’s thread. I am just tired of a lot of this bs that seems to ooze out of the posts.
one nay-sayer leads to 100, all with nothing new or productive to say.

The definitive reason to stop making remakes…
Only the Jackie Chan scenes were good. You can digitally remove everyone else in the movie and keep Jackie Chan and some of James Horner’s score, and the movie will be perfect!!
The big tournament wasn’t even as climactic as the original. Honestly, felt nothing when jaden smith knocked down his oppenant for the win. :/
It took an hour for them to get serious. i dont care if you call it "building up a story" as nothing happened in the first hour. :/
no development, no character.
i’m going to go watch the original to recover. And I hate will smith for implanting the commercial idea for doing the remake!! blasphemy!!!
Umm, I’ve had the pleasure of seeing the film yet, but the imdb lists the composers as Heitor Pereira and Pharrell Williams, so off hand, I’d say no.
I haven’t heard about a complete score by them either. (There is apparently a sequel in the works.)
My apologies,
JonC
(oops, beat me to it.)
I just saw the movie and right there in the credits it said "Hans Zimmer"…
It’s all three of them. According to Wikipedia. And since its hans zimer, there’ll always be other peeps around.
He hardly works alone or has anything completely to himself.
He probably threw in a few main themes then let the other 2 throw in a bunch of "additional music".
I havent seen the movie, or checked out IMDB. But if IMDB doesnt mention his name, he most likely barely lifted a finger for the music.
The movie credits would list him though. But not always the "additional music by". Im not even sure if they list "additional music" way later in the credits when they get to the music section (not the song lists, but the studio and orchestration information. not the various artist section, just the odd time if its some source music like "tomandandy" who barely do scores for whole movies.)

You fail.. -_-
….the film was amazing
big hug
good to read you
yet: tough times for both you and your hubbie!!!
…..of course he fears the worst. And part of you maybe too. doesn’t help anything, but we can’t help doing things like that.
All fingers are crossed!!!
like save it as a "playlist (.pls)" or "m3u (.m3u)" and upload that?
….the film was amazing
No, I just really didn’t like the remake… just the Jackie Chan parts…
the ending fight scene wasn’t so grand like the original, both were bloody and beat up and the bad guy gives in with his battered and bloody and sweaty face.
Okay, I know they’re kids…but why were they kids in the first place??
It just doesn’t look right to see Jack Chan fend off some kids.
The scene with the trip up to the dragon well and the car scene were the best.
I dont remember anything else from that movie :/
Ok, so I am home for now. They have me on a special diet and some nutritional supplements, to make sure I am well enough and hydrated for the surgery. I have to have some tests, like to make sure my heart can deal with it. They are figuring on sometime in about three weeks or so. It is going to be an exploratory surgery, so they can get a better look at what is going on. If they can remove whatever when they are in there they may try. We do no for sure that it appears that my chronic pancreatitus has done some actual damage to the pancreas, and some of that may have to come out. This explains the near constant pain, and since the pancreas produces enzymes to digest food, it’s not working is why I always feel so tired, even though I have trouble sleeping….
So, I carry on as normal for a couple of weeks. After the surgery, I will apparently have a bunch of tubes in inconvenient places, and be doped, so for a week or too, you may not hear from me much. Yea, I know, you can use a break….
In the meanwhile, I am here, to talk and share….
We’re all rooting for you, Goddess. All the best for you and Reid.
My experience with playlists (Windows Media Players, therefor not necessarily applicable to other formats,) is that they are constructed not around the file metadata, but rather around the file name itself, and therefor also around its specific location on the drive relative to…either the playlist, or more likely the media player itself. At the very least, the player’s library has to be set to look for files within the directories they are located. Thus, unless one can duplicate the file directory structure of the original playlist, a shared playlist won’t know where to find it. Also, the tracks must have the exact same name as those on the playlist, so an identical copy of a track with a different file name would be missed.
The only thing I can think of, and it would be crazy labor intensive, is to manually write out the tracklist.
Hope things go well with tests and such. Please keep us informed if you can,
JonC
AH! I get it now! I see what you want to do…..though….The libraries in your media players function mostly as a reference of the original file…
Ultimately, the only way is to sort through the plethora of files and organize into folders to archive…
I think some media players give you an option to move the files around. they all point to the original location.
I think iTunes will let you do that. create a new folder, move original files to new folder, then open the new folder in window explorer to work with the archiver. But don’t quote me on that. I haven’t done it that way before.
I go through the old fashioned way…files, folders and severe organizing….and I’m still doing it…. O_O
I never watch remakes again after seeing Taking of Pelham 123, worst movie I have ever seen in every single way. And there are a couple of remakes planned, like Westworld. Definitely miss this one.
It is going to be an exploratory surgery, so they can get a better look at what is going on.
The word "exploratory surgery" gives me the creeps >.<

I do know of a handy free program for making a tracklist, playlist & sfv file all at once ! The only thing is if the tracks were not tagged you get an error and then you gotta do it all from scratch.

I may be silly, but couldn’t I make a playlist, and when I like it, burn it to disk, theen rip said disk and archive that?
If you have a playlist & mp3 files in the same directory…yes. But if you upload or burn just the playlist without the mp3 files it will work on your computer but will not work for anyone else because the mp3’s were not included.

Errr…I can’t get the spoiler to open…..
Yeah, without the source files (mp3’s) it’s useless. I took the spoilers off…hmm wonder why the spoiler wouldn’t open?.
Some of the media software will let you burn playlists directly to CD, works best when you use the same program that made the playlist.
It uses the playlist and grabs the original file to burn to CD. Other CD burning software may be capable of doing the same thing.
I personally use Cowon’s "JetAudio" to play all my music.
It has a library function as well, but I don’t use it.
I do know with this program, with your playlists/albums/music-playing stuff, you can open up the Playlist window that shows the music that’s currently playing (and a drop-down menu to show other playlists/albums saved to jetaudio).
You can select the files you want then right-click them and go to something like "file management". You’ll get options to copy or move/rename the files. They’ll work directly with the original files.
The library function in JetAudio works the same way.
I haven’t made any playlists there or any albums with mixed music, but it works the same way.
I’m not sure which program you’re using for your libraries, but you could try going through the right-click’s context menu for any such operations.
Or go through options that indicate anything.
I saw the message about "wait 5 seconds before posting again"….but I had no idea if my post had actually made it through and I was wondering why i got that message.
I LOVE MY MOUSE!!! IT GOES OOMPA OOMPA ALL OVER THE BOARD!!! D:

ONE BLIND MICE, SEE HOW IT RUNS!!! D:
(sorry, was watching lots of family guy, it tends to rub off when Stewie is trying to watch Mr. Belvedere)
STREAKS ON THE CHINA , NEVER MATTERED BEFORE , WHO CARES?
Yeah, I wasn’t too impressed with ToP123, though I haven’t watched the original. Isn’t that the one where they called each other by colors, then Tarantino liked that idea and put it into Reservoir Dogs??
The remake was just so….out of there. It was decent, but could’ve been better. The director has too many washy-slow-motion scenes. It was artistic and surreal in the late ’90s. But, now that it’s a new a century, that sort of slow motion should be banned. Other slow-motions are bad too. I’ve noticed some old Jackie Chan movies will film in normal frame-rate then just slow down the playback speed. Common in some video editing. Not the best slow-motion.
It’s just as bad as that time George Lucas wanted to have the Star Wars movies available in picture-slides…
(joke) *da-dum-cha!*
I don’t know if there’s a forum rule about it, but there should be.
One of the forums has it, and it’s soooo beautiful.
It just seems so childish to see the word. And vain. Very vain.
EDIT: I also notice, it’s not a mouse issue anymore… I click once and I get this…

Yeah, it’s kinda slow season right now, I’ve noticed.
It’s like a fluctuation or something. One of the other forums I go to, we’re doing a word game with movies…
Like the alphabet, name movies that start with A, then B, then C, and see how far we can go.
But they limited themselves to North American box office movies, which limits them in the hard to name letters, X, Y, Z.
I think a more dynamic game would be "first and last letter"… like I say "Amadeus", then someone would say a movie that starts with "S", an do so forth.
And foreign movies are welcome, english translations or original language with english translation. Like Akira Kurosawa movies! or the Hayao Miyazaki animations! or even the Zhang Yimou movies! or Jet Li! Jackie Chan! Godzilla!!!
would anyone want to play either version???

first and last letter? you say xanadu (which you wouldn’t *lol*) and I say U-Turn? I know this with song-titles… why not movie titles?? I’d be at a loss totally when it comes to asian movies, but hey, earth is big (and universe is even more, star trek and so on)
I just yesterday discovered the movies a-z, but I’d try that too. 🙂
Any veterns here from the Lossless days?
I was just going through it again and found some working links *dancing turtle*
But, was it always 426 pages??
I thought it was more than that??
Surgery is scheduled for Thursday, Sept. 9th. **yay** 🙁
waiting is horrible. Best thing is to get a to do list and lkeep yourself busy (just speaking from my experience)
🙂
We???ll be praying for you!!!!!
EDIT:
On the other hand, I’ve put a few more links yesterday/today….
You sound like House. LOL. Be strong, Goddess. Everything will be O.K. You have Reid with you and a bunch of strangers from all over the world rooting for you. That has to create a load of positive energy to get you through it, hmm?! Keep us posted.
I had a chat with my wife before answering to get her input. (Oddly enough September 9th is her next chemo appointment. Go figure.)
As a guess, I’d say you’re freaking out because you got The Talk. The pre-surgery talk where they cover everything that can go wrong and all the complications that might happen afterwords. They have to have this talk to cover their own asses in light of litigation. I’ve sat through the one for her second surgery, and I had to leave the room and get some air. I was humiliated, but she said it was okay; she’d freaked out for the first surgery, and now she was ready for it.
Surgery blows. Post-op blows. Recovery blows. Chemo blows. Cancer in general, totally blows.
You know what blows more? DYING OF CANCER. Cancer is not a Nicholas Sparks movie. It is not romantic. This week marked the passing of the astonishingly talented anime director Satoshi Kon. He was only 46. You know what he died of? Untreated pancreatic cancer.
Please understand I am saying this with the best intentions and sympathy:
Suck it up Soldier! Get the fucking surgery.
It’s okay to be afraid. It’s okay to freak out. These are normal responses. It’s not okay to let your fear kill you.
Best wishes,
JonC
(my door is always open)
hey, what is ok anyway? you just have to be "ok enough".
🙂
[there’s nothing worse sometimes than having time to think. People tend to think catastrophe rather than something else]
Wow, I only know the first one and one of the other ones, I think part 3….when I used to babysit for these kids, they always wanted to watch the third one, but not the first. Sharp-tooth was too scary for them. The one I watched had a giant croc as the main antagonist.
I had no idea either *lol*
some things just pass me by 😉

Totally agreed. Sorry to know your wife is also battling this cowardly SOB. I know how much it sucks to have someone you love go through that. Hang in there and best wishes for you both.
As for Satoshi Kon’s death is news to me. Hadn’t heard of it yet. That sucks. His works might be insane but they were never dull.
Goddess, GO AND KICK SOME ASS.

you were quicker than me. I was just searching for this thread. 🙂
@GeoScore
I kind of like the idea, although I think the limitation of just 5 times giving rep per day is something I do not like so much.
It is an addition to the usual way of saying thanks, and sometimes I don’t want to leave an open ‘thanks’, just a quick rep. 😉
And I rep a nice answer or good explanation of something just as well. 🙂
Hehe and you quoted me while I was editing my post. :p Actually the 5 rep points limit is a default that the admin can tweak if he/she chooses too. Other vBulletin forums I frequent have the rep system and a thank you button however it is looked down upon to over use it in one session.
muhaha
too slow and yet too quick 😉
I support every element or instrument that adds to being able to show appreciation for something.
Appreciation is something important that is being forgotten far too often (by myself too!)

Edit: I noticed someone gave me a rep and said "For having awesome sigs" but unlike other forums I go to it doesn’t say who it was. I would be happy to make a sig or an avatar/sig combo for any of you guys & gals…just give me an idea what you want and I will give it a go. 😉
I’ll settle for best bad behaviour 😉
@babydoll
take another good look…
Okay I know I’m a *tad* late responding to this post 😉 But I just discovered this thread (all by myself, with noooooo help from babydoll… I’m lying. babydoll showed me the way. I never would’ve made it through this hellhole warzone without her! No, FFShrine isn’t that bad, I’m kidding, please don’t ban me! ;))
I’m so glad to see someone else misses those great old movies, especially musicals! I’ve loved them since I was a child. I *hate* the obsession with "realism" in most modern movies these days. Of course all the good things in real life don’t count, and they have to focus on the most horrible things people are capable of doing… ugh. I download/buy lots of film scores for movies I have no interest in seeing (I’m sure I’m not alone there) …it’s not that I can’t handle anything depressing (although I really never outgrew my "childish" desire for a happy ending and I don’t see why I should!) but I hate fatalistic edgy-for-the-sake-of-being-edgy stuff. Why do movies *have* to be realistic anyway? Why not idealistic, trying to give us hope/make the world a better place?
Can you tell I also grew up watching a lot of Disney and Frank Capra films? 😛 Which don’t shy away from life’s challenges and darker moments…but, yes, have uplifting endings. We NEED that to help us get through the crap life throws at us. Remember watching a movie and at the end of it you’d feel this joyful energy, and think that life/the human race isn’t so bad after all? It’s been awhile, but I remember.
Going off-topic I guess…hopefully allowed in this thread though! Also getting corny and sentimental, but then it *is* past 6am so I’m giddy and whatamIdoingstillup! G’night everybody!
(I should probably skip to the last page of this thread when I return, or I’ll keep reading and responding to ancient posts and always be miles behind the current conversation… hmm that would be kinda like me communicating with you from the past…like time travel! Cool. But annoying to everyone in the future, I’m sure. :))

good to read you, take your time, our thoughts are with you.
NOW REST!!!!!!!
My wife says, "Yea! Drugs!"
I have been told that for some reason that no one understands, the third day will suck worse then others.
Keep in mind, you basically lost a knife fight.
Depending where the incision was, you will have lost your ability to twist your body (more useful than one realizes,) until the muscles finish regrowing. That will take a while.
Good luck, get some rest, and feel free to push the morphine button when you need it.

As far as I remember her chemo starts soon too…. 🙂 ?
JonC
…. fatigue is something I always understand though 😉
haha, no. drugs aren’t that effective on me.
i was given Tylenol-4 and some other type of fun drugs after I had my back teeth removed.
I only took the penicillan ones. The painkiller’s I didn’t take so much, only used up 3 out of the whole bottle.
I felt the same as ever after taking everything. They said it might make me feel a bit loopy and cartoons should be fun to watch.
LIES! ALL LIES!!!!
(or maybe it’s only loopy for peeps who are on sane levels…)
Anywho, glad to hear things progressing for everyone here, Babydoll, JonC, Silly Drugs.
the shrine keeps freezing for me (getting time-out again and again since yesterday evening)
hello, my friend. How are you? Hope you’re healling nice and quick.
Godd to see you’re in good spirits. Hang in there, Goddess. All the best.
Lots of ibuprophen and tylenol after that.

Im watching "Any Which Way You Can" & I noticed the song over the opening credits is a Country/Western tune called "Beers To You". That song is a duet between Ray Charles &….CLINT EASTWOOD! I swear is there anything this man hasnt done? To me he is the oldest living Hollywood legend! He just gets better with age! Actor, Singer, Composer, Editor, Producer, Director and all at the fresh young age of 80!!! What a Career!!!
I honestly don’t know how my day would go without music. D:
If I go one day without music, I lose track and get my days mixed up!
The other week I spent Monday thinking it was Sunday!!! D:
Also because they didn’t air the season finale for True Blood (just this past Sunday they did), so that also threw off my week!
I don’t know why, but it doesn’t feel like the week has started unless I hear "Bad Things" at least once.
But, now that the show’s over, I can start my weeks with DEXTER’S THEME XD
Dexter’s the one show I can not miss!
I’m just waiting to get paid from work then decide whether I want an external HDD or get season 3 of Dexter on DVD… ?_?
And stop by the local HMV to see what’s on sale in the OST section 😉
Had a few weeks away from this place (apart from the occaisonal post in the DL section) – holidayus, and summer and stuff….and come back to Babydoll having surgery!! Would prefer to have given my best wishes before you went in Mandi, but at the very least I can say "Glad it seemed to go well – all my hopes for a speedy recovery"
Same here! Sorry for having missed all that and being there for you Babydoll :/ But nice your well, at least almost! 🙂
Any suggestions? (Any fans of his reading this?)

Othe Side of The Mountain – very beautiful:
PART ONE (by Charles Fox):
PART TWO (by Lee Holdridge):
Part 1, part 2, the movie is split? thanks a lot 🙂 Or have 2 composers worked together? Or is it rejected and official?
Maybe the FLAC logo cus I love FLAC!
Any suggestions? (Any fans of his reading this?)
Beast Master is a fun score.
I’ll try that one too, thx 🙂
I admit I liked the Pacino-one, too, the flac one is a bit more neutral though 🙂
YES. SHE’S BACK. ALL HAIL OUR ALL MIGHTY GODDESS.
OK, OK, i’ll tone it down, geesh!!! (Damned voices in my head!!!)
Welcome back, my friend. Hope all is fine with you now.
I wonder if anyone has got or seen around here, a CD promo or bootleg from "Short Circuit 2" (Charles Fox). It’s a score I’ve been looking for years
Thanks in advance

if you want a link to the youndtrack, you have to request in the film score hunt thread in the download section 🙂
this is discussion and chat ONLY 😉
I just discovered ‘east of eden’, still have to listen to olafs recommended one, and ‘splash’ is worth a listen too?
I have it stored on my external.
🙂
Isn???t it beautiful?
I have it stored on my external.

Talking about the great Lee Holdridge, you might check the double CD I posted some weeks ago:
Actually Sorei mentioned that because she had listened to this SUITES and THEMES,she became interested in this great composer!

I’m glad to see the success of my compilation!!! 🙂
One hundred thank yous!!!
I???m now listening to BEAUTY AND THE BEAST without dialogue!!!!!!!
Goosebumps all over me!
Goosebumps all over me!
its beautiful. i just wish i could find it at higher quality. a flac complete score would be amazing. its incredible music.
I have it stored on my external.
🙂
Most definitely. :love:
ok then, I will gladly 🙂
I just put it in my winamp player 🙂
@Joevidi
I left reply twice in your thread 😉
thx for posting this GREAT compilation! (Even repped you for it)
I have it stored on my external.
🙂
I love Holdridge’s score to the 1974 TV flick SKYWAY TO DEATH – great dramatic music, still unreleased after so many years.
By the way: watched MARY & MAX and liked the score, so I contacted the composer for the missing tracks on the soundtrack CD, but didn’t get an answer yet. In the worst case, I might try to extract the cues from the Bluray. However, I got excited and began to create some artworks for it.
I use this to show appreciation. Sometimes I leave no reply, just rep. I don’t have a clue how much I can give, but I have the feeling I cannot rep a lot.
The System is new for everyone, even for the people who have more than 5000 posts, everybody starts from zero.
I like the idea I can do more than ‘just’ leave a thanks Which does not mean I understimate a thanks or do not appreciate!
But I like the idea there are several ways to appreciate a music post or simply a nice reply or an interesting info 🙂
/edit: btw, I repped you too, Funny…
btw, I read that as "I repped you, too funny…"
so I’m going to rep you and Funny for that misread lol too funny…
and babydoll for some more info on the reps.
and if sarah or jessie pop in here every now and then to remind us of chat, i’ll give them rep too…
You must spread some Reputation around before giving it to babydoll again.
…so…Babydoll +1
there, more rep!! XD
Shameless self-promotion,
JonC
would you care to enlighten me please? I don’t get it? (Is it just the fact that I haven’t had any coffee yet??)
/edit:
I just now sw your othe rpost, oh yes, my husband told me yesterday evening about Tony Curtis: he was called speed racer??
@spark
*lol*
that’s a good one…
@Funny
….btw, I wanted to pm you about the scores behind the artwork…
@BlackAura
you were right, I like Splash!!! 🙂
If you’re not familiar with his career, you can check here (http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0000348/) and here (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tony_Curtis).
JonC
🙂
Of course I am aware of him 😉 and I am sure I have seen several of his movies, but well: not one of my favorites, nevertheless a fascinating figure in the movieworld. 🙂
God I love the music!!
the acting was terrible, the waterbenders exhale every syllable so it sounds really weird.
the firebenders though, they were terrific! Commander Zhao was my favorite! They didn’t play him out like a dunce like they did in the tv series.
The earthbenders 😐
Although I strongly feel that most of the actors couldn’t keep up with the action music, the last battle scene was much improved compared to their earlier fighting skills. Then again, all the slow motion really helps out.
you were right, I like Splash!!! 🙂
I’m glad to hear it! People can say what they will about the movie, but the music is unforgettable. 🙂
people do not like the movie? I am not a Hanks-Fan, I admit (he is a good actor [maybe] but in my eyes he just is very… "neutral" and not masculine at all. It might improve/change now as he gets older… but anyway: I like Darryl Hannah and I did enjoy the movie too 🙂
But I forgot how beautiful the music was…
@sparktank
reading what you wrote I better go on enjoying the music and forget about the film then???
But I forgot how beautiful the music was…
I’ve been laughed at a couple of times when I said Splash was one of my favorite movies as a kid/teen, mostly from guys. BUT if you like romantic comedies from the 80s, how can one go wrong with one about a mermaid in NYC? It’s wacky as hell, but it works. 😀
one of my favorites from the eighties was ‘Legal eagles’, with Daryl Hannah too, but that’s a coincidence…
Oh my God, me too! I liked the scene when she did that "fire dance" or whatever it was. *Beavis voice* "FIRE! FIRE! Heh heh…" 😉
Hey everyone! 🙂 This is not really a request, though I would like to ask you something, just for fun 🙂
Do you guys usually listen to soundtracks before or AFTER you’ve seen the movies they’re made for?
Just curious to read what people’s responses will be 🙂
actually sometimes I do not see the movie at all…..
but I guess for all the other cases it is 50/50: Transformers score I loved after seeing the movie.
Inception score I loved long before seeing the movie.
field of dreams, cocoon, the bear (Sarde) : watched the movies first.
Right now I am in love with ‘September dawn’ and I haven’t even checked what the movie was about….
I have even watched movies just because I had listened to the score before, movies I otherwise would not have watched (the myth, Jackie Chan)
🙂
@BlackAura
this fire happening was bizarre, really. 😀
@babydoll
so with sharing this soundtrack, actually you are talking dirty to us, aren’t you? Naughty girl, you! *lol*
HELLO,SOREI!
HELLO,SOREI!
hello enio 😀 *bighug*
close to my bed time….
Sometimes the soundtrack carries the movie, moving it along more than the acting or story.
-AirElemental
Too bad they are starting to put everything on those little boxes that you just have to plug in headphones.
Classical is not as passionate, but I will always love Bach.
Bach is my absolute favorite. 🙂
hear hear, we seem to share some preferences 🙂
WHOO! *clinks champagne glass*
Honestly, I think if people just ignore the original hate post and move on, there’ll be a lot less drama and lot more posts of download links in between.
Truthfully, you don’t have to have your say in the matter and you have nothing to defend.
I really don’t care what kind of person you are, but when one person hates the hater, then everyone else wants their say.
2 pages go by and it’s all the same, "he’s a jerk" "you’re a jerk" "no, you’re a jerk"….
I feel like I’m watching South Park
http://www.smogon.com/forums/customavatars/avatar1830_6.gif
It’s nice you want to show support and defend others, but it’s really not appropriate.
1) it only provokes the original hater
2) you become no different, just that you have a better cause
3) it clogs the download section with no downloads
4) it will only make others feel that they can add more because you did, your actions justifies theirs and 10 others
5) and once people agree to stop it altogether, there’s always people who haven’t logged in for a week or so and see all this hate then start it up again and use the excuse "i wasn’t here for the initial hating so I’m making up for it now"
6) it can all be directed here instead of the download/now-discussion thread….
seriously, the adminds/mods have killed so many movie soundtrack sections because haters are being hated by other haters
I haven’t really seen any drama in the video game section, mostly about ripping music and the settings for EAC.
I don’t know why people take their movie soundtracks so seriously. The movie mega-thread has more "remakes" than the Robin Hood movies… o.O
I really don’t think anyone has learned from the first million threads that admins/mods have warned us.
And I really don’t think we should be given another mega-thread like this again.
The largest issue is the discussions, I see so much of it, it’s a headache when it’s not entirely related and get’s dragged on for pages.
Yes, it can be a friendly place, and we can all get along and share wonderful music, but that shouldn’t distract from forum rules that are stated everywhere, especially when adminds/mods come in and personally remind us. I think everyone gets too caught up on warm fuzzy friendliness that they forget the rules and think they can be tentative because of the warm fuzzy atmosphere. Cute puppy eyes don’t win over rules.
[Jigsaw pic to be added later: "Don’t forget the rules"]
it’s not enough for me to leave this site.
but i will laugh if something happens to the mega-thread again… :}
(I just finished a long-ass speech for public speaking class and a 2 page English essay that turned into 5… – ain’t i such an over-achiever) 😛
Thats bad and good news babydoll. At least the count dropped significantly, let’s hope it doesn’t peak again >.<
lol geo, saying more is better than under-saying.
I woke up far too early, will probably try to sleep for another 2 hours….
That sounds like a horrific experience, Babydoll. Thank goodness you came out of it okay (enough to give us an update, I mean).

Classical music is teh shit. I love Mozart and Beethoven especially.
They have their moments. 😉
Definitely. I especially love modern covers of classical tracks. Like the band At Vance that does metal covers of classics. I’ve always found that type of thing to be neat.

Best way to deal with rude and demanding people – don’t say a word to them. They get even more mad because they are being ignored. (works on High School girls…..)
Can’t wait to hear that soundtrack!
reminds me of franklys.

ooops, already taken care of by the mods. BOTH ST Jones threads closed now…
TRON LEGACY SOUNDTRACK | MUSIC BY DAFT PUNK (http://www.tronsoundtrack.com/)
pre-orders and stuff about the soundtrack there.
they’ll be in the movie, but they’re costumes aren’t very original, they look like every other costume they did.
First official track released, 90 second preview "The Game Has Changed"
Soundcloud hosts it in 128, and seems quieter, but with little to load on the page.
Hypetrak – Daft Punk – The Game Has Changed – SoundCloud (http://soundcloud.com/hypetrak/daft-punk-the-game-has-changed)
Official Facebook page hosts it in 160 and sounds much better.

could you please reupp the Monsters Inc. Academy Promo?? I’ve been searching so long for it…
Thanks in advance!
Jasmin
anway maybe someone downloaded: I guess the better place to ask the film hunt thread 2, jasminflower.
🙂
Most of the posts under my threads are things like: "hey, great!" and "Can’t wait to listen to this" and "Thanks!". So if anyone here has downloaded one of my scores, or might now be interested in seeing what I have, you are very welcome to come and post any questions or comments under my thread. I made that clear in ALL the threads I’ve started.
And I am very sorry if this was an inappropriate post for this thread.
I can understand your frustration!
Yes, even your (indeed too high) expectations, I guess you are lucky if you get replies at all, to be honest.
If nothing else, you have my sympathy 🙂
And speaking of soundtracks and how they’re made.
I quite like the scheme for the Kick-Ass score.
I like the remix from the Sunshine soundtrack, but I’m not a big fan of the track used for the Ambush at the Hideout. Those strings sound way too much like The Dark Knight’s theme for the Joker.
The rest of the score is interesting. I like the various themes in it for the characters. I really love the vocals in there too, the really mellowdramatic undertones just really captures my imagination.
Here’s a video edit of the Kick-Ass score mixed with a video scene from Batman: Under the Red Hood…

i have read your post and is very interesting,i think like you,let me recommend you that listen music score from RAIN MAN ,is excelent (sorry,but not yet learn your language…i speak spanish.
I like rain man! I have to double check what I have. I think I have only version. But yes! I really like Hans Zimmer! 😀
Id like to give a big hello to everyone! Hello. Thanks to all who take the time to upload.

*throws confetti*
Welcome aboard the USS FFSHRINE. :p If you have any questions just ask.
In case you’re wondering why they chose Final Fantasy Shrine for a name…
If you abbreviate it to FFS and think about the shenannigans that happen here from time to time about labels and lynch mobs, you’ll think back to the initials FFS…
True story.
(PS: FFS=For F*^k Sakes)
*singing together with Zoran* welcome aboard USS FFSHRINE
@Spark
true? I love stories, as long as they are good I do not even care if they are true *lol*
Then make a movie about it and get Atticus Ross and Trent Reznor to do the score for it!
She mentioned in the Music of DC Comics thread that she converted the original ogg files to mp3. How do you do this? I have just downloaded a folder of ogg music files and would like to convert them to mp3 — I have Audacity, can I use that to do it? I’m pretty new (obviously) at doing this sort of thing and am having a hard time finding answers.
Any help would be greatly appreciated! The whole lossless thing is just a pain. I mean, I get it I just don’t need that sort of sound quality for my freakin mp3 player on the bus, y’know?
Hi 🙂 Babydoll cannot be online at the moment, and I am not a tech savvy, but: foobar for example is freeware (as far as I know) and you can convert with it. Or dbpoweramp music converter (which you can go on using after trial time).
I am sorry I do not know audacity….
And I can well understand you have a hard time finding answers, welcome to the club (getting answers is one thing, understanding them is another yet *lol*)
Thanks sorei!!
I read when using it after the trial period it is limited, do you maybe know anything about that? 🙂
I assure you there is another ost from RAIN MAN ,i downloaded and is excelent.anyway,i would ask as i can find the music from JACK AND THE BEANSTALK THE REAL STORY 2001…well….thanks.i hope that my writing is correct.Bye

PS-missed all the drama again. but im more pissed at missing the Boobs!!!
I agree Cerberus, in fact I was going to say something similar. I still have not seen Halloween II thanks to that fucking redbox kiosk putting all of my local rental stores out of business. I have been a fan of Rob’s music for some time but I was never a fan of his first film House Of 1000 Corpses…it was so silly that I simply could not get through it. But The Devils Rejects & Halloween were superbly crafted and I believe will stand the test of time. I recently found out that he also had a hand in the Grindhouse double feature an I look forward to his upcoming film Werewolf Women of the S.S. …yes it really is in production!
*Nisuk is on his way to the rental store^^*
And yes, Tyler Mane has probably been my favorite Michael Myers to date. In the documentary about the movie he discusses how he wanted to inject some human emotion into the character and how that’s a challenge given you never see his face, but I think he passed with flying colors personally.
P.S. Did anyone check out "The Walking Dead" Sunday night? I thought it was great!! It’s a little early to be talking about the score, and they almost never release TV scores, but it would be nice to listen to for certain.
Yeah, I saw it and the preview of the upcoming season…looks promising. I cannot speak to whether it’s a faithful translation of the comic because I’ve never read it but I do like the main character and the FX are a nice mix of prosthetic & CGI…looking forward to further installments. Regarding the score it’s good and atmospheric but I wouldn’t give up on a CD release just yet. Look at Caprica, a show that has poor numbers but had a CD release during it’s first season.
the best of news, my friend 🙂
I’m currently working on making a release of "The Kick" music. The Edith Piaf song used in Inception.
It will be slowed down to resemble the dream states like in the movie.
There will be various slowed down versions, ranging from 2x slow, 4x, and 10x.
Also different remixes too (and one techno remix lol).
Here’s one track I’ve uploaded to YouTube, for a short promo.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TvvTm33xyDU
There will also be a short 20 second version for cell phones 😀
Coming soon to a dream near you!
And yes, I immensly enjoy it 😀
PS: In loving memory Basil Poledouris today! He’s such a wonderful artist!
I remember first memorizing that name after watching Les Miserables, with Liam Neeson.
I loved the main theme so much for that movie, I tried to go buy the soundtrack but couldn’t find it anywhere.
And I knew little of internet back then.
I remember watching Conan and Hunt For Red October, but never thought about music back then.
The only prominent names for me back then were John Williams and Danny Elfman.
Today, I still listen to Danny Eflman, Williams has lost it I felt. War of the Worlds was okay, Indian Jones and the Crystal Skull was only good for the few action tracks it had.
I liked him so much more when he did Jurassic Park.
Poledouris, I’m growing my collection of his work, it really rings my ears with satisfaction. Starship Troopers was a really entertaining.
I also like his daughter’s work, not just the work she did in Conan, but also the other stuff on Starship Troopers!
There’s 2 tracks I believe. Hard to find one of them in lossless.
I got them in mp3 somewhere, that was the first time I heard of Zoe Poledouris.
Sad that he died on this day. It’s also my birfday lol, it’s a time to be happy and sad at the same time 🙂
🙁
But he’s done such wonderous work!
RIP Basil Poledouris!
Of course, it’s all bollocks. The second the P2P witch hunt is truly over, they’ll bring the glorious hammer of corporatism down on this site and any others like it (who already getting sporadic media attention, by the way….) and pound it so hard into the ground it’ll start spontaneous fission.
In other words-
A. You can try to make everyone happy. In which case FFS will still eventually attract ten distinct kinds of hell from some douche bag music label’s legal department, even though you’ve tried to wrangle the file swapping somewhat.
B. You can can say "fuck off" to the labels and (predictably) end up getting paid a visit from The Law Firm of Lucifer, Beelzebub & Legion. Except, because you didn’t even entertain the notion of staunching the flow of music, everyone got a hell of a lot more.
C. The clear choice is ‘B’. If you’re damned if you do, full stop, no exceptions, then everyone might as well fill ‘er up their hard drives. The only alternative I can see is just to stop all non-VG/Anime music sharing.
Coded links help fight off google bots from seeing the many download links here. Among other uses. That’s why it’s a strict rule for other sites.
I believe Abaddon mentioned it before.
I always code my links, and remove any of the [url] tags.
I also see a lot of "links are temporarily down" messages. Usually from the links being posted on several forums, and not being re-uploaded for fresh links.
Links that are continually accessed by users from many forums, and bots as well, will cause downloading problems.
Konio will upload the same content to new servers, which will cause greater ease of downloading.
I think if all these were practiced more often, there’d be less problems with downloading and less hardship from random people who can freely see everything that FFS does regularly.
js.
and I think it’s just stupid for everyone to ask for the film section to shut down.
I think the clearer choice is to leave FFS or not even bother with the sections you don’t want to see stemming from drama.
I don’t see why the entire place needs to shutdown. Honestly, most of these limits here…there’s nothing worth while anyhow.
Ron Jones? I’m not interested in that much star trek music, especially from a television production-standpoint.
I much prefer the soundtracks to the movies, they’re shorter. Much, much shorter.
I think everyone will be less… iunno… apprehensive if you post it in mp3.
Take the star trek music, if I remember, the flac links were taken down, but the mp3 links were stayed by the hands of the admins/mods.
And also since something about one of the conan’s previously being released by VS, the Prometheus version will likely contain music that’s in the VS release.
So, not only do you have to limit it to mp3, but also remove anything that was in the VS release, and only releasing music cues not found in any VS release.
But, even with mp3/removed VS material, I think since’s from a company that’s not so grand or well established and only does limited music, no one wants to see it posted. here especially, since these small companies limit themselves.
true, it’s on other forums, and quite possibly torrents by now, or will be very shortly.
but it’s just a matter of posting it here.
I’d stick to PM’s, like that one Conan thread suggests, the one with *all* the releases of conan music.

I meant im staying off for the day cus its Remembrance Day. lol checked my email today.
no downloading on this day for me.
I got banned from chat the other day. No idea why. A few others in there were more spiteful.
I bring up God once and the whole place makes FSM look like a safe-haven.
I wasn’t the only one banned. It seems the only ones that don’t get banned are the ones that can make philosophy seem like an art and suck up to the mods/admins.
Very spiteful people in the chat more than anywhere else I’ve seen on the internet.
I don’t know, ever since the Ron Jones incident, this place has gone to hell.
It’s like 4chan meets FSM now…
Now that this site is running again…meh.

So, in hospital again. 5 trips in less than 2 months. Yes, Sorei, I feel like shit. I am just so tired, I just wanna feel nothing at all. This physical stuff, on top of no meds for the depression, yea, my attitude is sucky. I am sorry for the hurt feelings I have caused. I tend to isolate, and push folks away when I am like this, maybe that is part of it. A peace offering, or just cause I promised. You know who you are, if you want to even try to still be friends:

And please,Babydoll,STOP worrying about what people say.Change your attitude!!!
A lot of people love you!
BELIEVE IT!
BIG HUG!
of course you’re tired, exhausted and annoyed and lots of other things.
pressure like this makes you act strangely, sometimes. It’s ok.
big hug
you’re going thorough an awfull lot of shit right now and you deserve support, my ‘goddess’ friend 🙂
you will give that too, sometime when you’re better, when needed by someone. 😀
(don’t worry, as soon as I need it, I will demand it *lol*)
I have missed you 🙂
…I am sure others have too!
Iam frequenting the request thread a bit lately, am doing what I can….
I’ve been busy with video editing as of late. A lot of video editing O_O
But it’s good to see everyone. lol i keep forgetting there’s a request thread, I’m so used to the Hunt Thread.
Sad news about Leslie Nielson. He was a favorite growing up! Naked Gun, Dracula: Dead and Loving It, Spy Hard.
I was a little mad that he took over the Scary Movie series. I liked the vulgarity and profanity of the Wayans Bros.
The 3&4 were still funny. But it feels more like when Katie Holmes didn’t continue her role for Rachel Dawes in the Dark Knight… :/
Had they broke off on a tangent and started a new line of Movie-themed titles, I think they would’ve been able to do more.
It’s like Family Guy going off on a tangent and doing American Dad.
But 3rd generation is a no-no…. I mean… look at The Cleveland Show…. 😐

Thanks for being good friends and listening,

I can relate. My dad lost his mother in October. Very difficult for the whole family.
Thank you too for being a good friend and listening. 🙂
@All of my friends here…I wish you and your family a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year full of happiness, good health & prosperity!

have some joyful and peaceful days with christmas and new year, as good as possible….
I wish my puter had a bluray player. There’s a couple movies where I would like to rip the end credits in DTS (any version higher than the 768kbps found on most DVD’s).
I also wish more blurays would have more isolated scores too.
I wonder… I should look into distributing sites and see if they have a survey about what we want to see more often in bluray.
I remember when DVD’s first came out, there were little ballets inside asking what special features we would like to see in the next line of DVD’s.
If I had known more about computers and isolated scores back then, I would’ve mugged every shopper for their ballet and filled all of them with "isolated scores in higher definition than AC3".

the most part, it seems to be loud in the higher frequencies and really gives it a tv-like quality. it’s interesting, but i haven’t listened to it for a long time.
if you find it cheap, if you like it, it might not be so bad to have a hard copy. factory-pressed CD’s tend to last longer than cd-r’s or mp3’s.

Thanks…but how do I know if it’s a good quality film torrent..not that crappy captured-on-camera-at-the-movies stuff..?? 🙂
Generally, something like "dvd-rip" that’s about 700mb is good enough to watch the movie.
It really depends on what kind of quality you want. It also depends on how the movie was encoded.
Sometimes movies will be 1.4GB, which is really good quality for dvd-rips. It might be in two files as well (designed for people who want to burn them to 2 CD-R’s).
if you see anything with "x264/h264", it’s a sign of excellent video quality.
bluray rips are becoming popular as well, 1080/720/480 rips.
these rips can vary for quality results… some people will make a 1080 rip that’s about 1gb in file size. which will look horrible.
as far as audio goes, it’ll either be in mp3 (usually 128kbps), or if you’re lucky, AC3/DTS.
Know also that this increases the file size.
you can search movies on thepiratebay.org and be happy with any of the results there. they got dvdrips and bluray rips. if the file size is too big (3 or 4gb), then stick to the smaller ones and you’ll still do fine for watching movies.
Wow..Thanks for all the info…really thanks..:)
Thanks for being good friends and listening,
Zoran
We are very sorry to hear that, my deepest condolences to you. Take care.

A small guide to this:
AUDIO
LD / Line.Dubbed – no background noise, higher audio quality
MD / Mic.Dubbed – recorded in a cinema, background noise
VIDEO
CAM-Rip (CAM) – recorded with a camera from the cinema screen, worst quality you can get
TeleSync (TS) – filmed with a professional camera on a tripod in an empty cinema, better than Cam-rip
TeleCine (TC) – converted to video via film scanner, better quality than TeleSync releases
R5 – great image quality, russian DVDs
Retail – best quality, ripped from an official source (DVD,Bluray)
Subbed – film with it’s original foreign language but subtitles
….long time no see….though I would "check in" and see how y’all doing…..great to see some friendly faces still here after events of past couple of months….missed a lot of it for various reasons, including (I gather) some very yummy photos that were doing the rounds!!! lol – ah well, PM box is always open 😉 Feel free to share…!
Babydoll – sorry to see stuff not going so well – not nice… 🙁
Muuuuule
Now, to get the physical meds back on track, next month sometime. Whee
Thank you ML…hanging in there. 🙂
i dont think this site has a rule about it. its kind of interesting to find new sites whenever someone mentions one, but i tend to ignore blog sites as they’re the fastest to get shutdown.
i think different sites are best said in PM’s. and hopefully the receiver will extend the same courtesy, with everyone being so eager to be "first" its kind of frightening these days.
Have fun! 🙂
Iron Man (Complete)… ~270MB

Happy Belated Birthday!!! Hope it was great! 🙂
First, I replaced all my incompatible hardware and switched to Windows 7 64bit. Okay, nothing of interest for you, I guess.
I upgraded my internet speed from 2 to 6Mbit – for the same price. I can now fulfill requests much faster.
And last but not least, a lot of people keep asking me about a scorelist/tradelist, which I don’t have. Usually, I store all of my lossless scores on DVDs. When I got 4GB of scores from one composer together, I tag them and burn them to disc and add them to my scorelist. This takes a lot of time and all lossy releases or upgraded/expanded lossless scores cannot be found on that list.
This year, I will use USB sticks instead of DVDs for storage. This way, I can replace lossy scores with a better version much easier. And the list will include all the lossy stuff, too. And I am able to join collections from 4DVDs to one stick. The good thing for you is, that I will be able to provide a complete scorelist of my collection. I will start this project with the first two composers this weekend.
Im still on stinky vista :/
I use DVD’s for everything. And i just got an external recently. I’m a little concerned. Most people tend to have issues with externals.
I’ve got all mine sorted in lossy and lossless. And now just going through everything to remove any embedded pictures as I just recently saved over a GB of space on a *small* collection of lossy music!
I wouldn’t mind giving your list a gander whenever it’s complete 🙂
only thing, I don’t have a bluray player for teh computer, so I can’t do a rip myself. at least I can enjoy it on the tv and my loud system.
I haven’t had a chance to listen to it yet. Just watching the movie in 5.1 (when I bought it on DVD, the audio was 4.1 at the most O_O) and loving it so much! its so clear and crisp compared to its dvd release. (and back when i had it on vhs LMAO).
But, does anyone know how different it is from the LaLaLand release? (aside from the bitrate and 5.1)
i’m not even sure if it’ll have the drastic volume changes that other isolated scores like Tomorrow Never Dies exemplifies.
I really want to ask in the Hunt section..as it may generate more information, but it’ll definitely lead to a discussion…
Although, I believe FML should have some info?
welcome, kgray! 🙂
@sparky, thos are things I have no clue about, but I guess you are right with funny!

Hey Funny, no offense meant but I’m not quite sure if USB sticks are best way to store the data on for a long term collection. With backups in mind it’s not just the handling but from what I know they have limited lifetime (o.k., if the data is not too often written/rewritten a stick will be solid for a decade or so). On the other hand the GB per money rate is much better with (external) HDDs, and to keep a redundant backup array is almost easy.
Good to read you have a faster connection now. I’m waiting for those since ages.
I just bought a case for it and turned it into a external HD.
I store all of my music on it and the stuff I use regularly I keep on a flash drive.
I use DVD-R’s for backing everything else up.
I just need to get that faster connection now…….
I’ve had mine since November last year and haven’t had problems yet (lol, 3 months).
I don’t know how people feel about defragmenting externals but I keep defragmenting it. And anything I store on it that’s larger than 1gb (or even 700mb), will get archived into smaller pieces to allow for proper defragmentation. I use PerfectDisk’s Defrag. It has different settings on how it handles files and defrags. Some settings will give you aggressive performance for your drive (and kill it faster, but it functions faster), and extreme opposite settings to preserve the health of your drive (But reduces performance for a cost). I use the "Conservative" setting, and the performance doesn’t drop that much, but defrags are less frequent in between. So long as I keep backing up everything in the same manner.
I have a Seagate, and their site says that most problems that occur can be fixed by doing a diagnostic check on the drive. Most people will end up sending their external to Seagate labs only to find out a simple check could’ve have fixed the problems and saved them money. Seagate has software on their site they recommend using for Seagate Externals.
I want to buy several more. A first line of externals for my data and constant use, then a secondary line for the most important stuff to be backed up and not touched unless the primary line fails. And I plan to transfer everything to a new line of externals if I feel there’s some concern. I’ll just copy the untouched backup and start using line 2 and leave line 3 untouched. Line 1 can go to hell 😛
DVDRs can vary, especially what brand you buy and the burning speed. Verbatim is top-notch, you’re expected a longer life-span.
But also storage and how often you use them will also increase their life-span. Cool, dark areas. I keep mine in books or sleeves stuffed in shoe boxes.
And I only store Lossless to DVDR, lossy gets the external and low priority.
I don’t know about USB sticks though or anything.
how often do you defrag? (Maybe a silly question, sorry)
my external, I analyze every 3 weeks. If I see the performance drop below 80% I defrag, or if any of the file/folder/freespace is compromised.
I also analyze if I know I’ve done a lot of changes to it. Like removed stuff I don’t want, backedup a lot of stuff, or even changed a lot of file names.
I recently wanted to listen to a John Barry score I had stored on a TDK DVD, and it’s not accessible anymore. Maybe I’m wrong, but my USB-sticks tend to live longer than my DVDs 😉 Yes, DVDR’s are cheaper than sticks, but money is not my problem.
I have one problem, though. My bluray drive doesn’t work properly under W7 x64. I can see all files on my DVDs, but 80% of them have 0 byte in size. I guess I have to replace the drive with a compatible one, before I can transfer all my scores. As far as I know it’s an AHCP mode issue, and I can’t change the value on my notebook BIOS.
My project will take a bit longer then I hoped, I’m afraid.
What with all their outsourcing to cheaper venues and what-not-have-you. Sony is known to outsource and use cheaper and degrading materials. They’re very if-y.
There’s a guide out there that tells you the "grade" of your media, if you find the Media ID Code. But, you can only find that out once you buy the DVD’s.
Also, this grading system is only based on a number of burns and tests, it’s not set in stone and it’s meant only as a very rough guideline.
Verbatim’s are 1st class. TDK’s are up high too.
I want to backup all my DVD/CD backups before they’re kaput! I haven’t tested any of the old ones, so I’m a little worried. I know some of the stuff was very hard to find, especially in lossless quality!! D:
I got a 100 pk for 20$ when CompUSA went out of business, and I was only able to use 18 out of the entire 100.
I would have thought they would be up with the same quality as their other products.
I was seriously disappointed.
I also don’t like the Sony MD and the D8 tapes. TDK is so much better all the way around. I just got my first 50pk of DVD-R’s that are Verbatim.
Glad to know I finally got something that is going to be worthwhile.
My kids love Memmorex record-able media, but I haven’t used it.
I admit I haven’t been doing any of this saving someplace else. I defrag both laptop and external. And I use the repair program (this thing in 5 phases, sort of like "scan disk")
Maybe I should start saving some on dvds?

Actually it seems to…I have had many problems unpacking zips & rars saved on discs both cd-rom and dvd-rom, I have no idea why. I almost always unpack right after I downoad these days.
good to know…. maybe I should start doing some back up. (At least now I have an external dvd drive, the one in the lap was a cd drive only)
You could try to repair the archive and see what you can extract out of it.
I like to keep the files as is, track by track in folders. That way I only risk losing some tracks rather than a whole album. Depending on how badly the disc has suffered.
(Also make sure you never use the "extract here" by accident, like I have on several occasions, as files can’t be extracted to a read-only media lol!)
The only time I really archive anything then backup to disc is if it’s an ISO image for a game or something that’s meant for DVD-9’s. Or multiple DVD-9’s.
I get scared of that.
I’m just looking up how fun it is to create a brand new .cue sheet for DTS-WAVs. I finished converting the DTS-WAVs and they can be imported into Nero and burned as an Audio CD to create a 5.1 DTS-CD, but I’m wondering how to do a .cue sheet.
I got only the custom made tracks that didn’t come with an original .cue sheet. I’m learning that it’s best to create one large file with a .cue sheet for maximum compatibility for home amplifiers/receivers that can decode DTS. Reason being that the DTS decoding stream might reset in between tracks, causing the music to be cut off. With a single file and cue, this can be avoided. Disc-at-once vs tracks-at-once or something big and technical 😛
it is very impressing though! 😀
(And I even understood the first half!)
(Michael Bay explosions in slow motion)
I burn one DVD full, – My son takes it
I burn another DVD – I hide it
I save it to my external HD – My daughter takes it.
At least if one goes down I have two more.

(I pick the first 2 usually).
There was another on Sonic Forums, but it’s no longer available. I think it’s either down or just no longer accessible to the public.
One thing I don’t really see in the guides: when you have a CD loaded in your drive, only then can you change the "Speed selection" in the "Offset/Speed" tab of the "Drive Options". The lower the value the more accurate the rip. It’ll take longer, but it’s worth it. Especially if some of the disks have endured any scratches or rough times.
Those guides will help set the options so your drive rips at its optimal performance. Perfect for CD to FLAC (Level 8 saves the most space and has no effect on quality).
Should I respect someone which isn’t respecting the will of the original composer/music publisher/book writer…? No.
EDIT
Careful, I’m not saying I’m not grateful for what they’re doing. What I’m saying is that if I want I can go and claim the rip/scan/whatever as my own… If the original sharer has a bit of honesty still alive within him, he will recognize he doesn’t have many reasons to get mad at me. You stole from them, I stole from you.
Should I respect someone which isn’t respecting the will of the original composer/music publisher/book writer…? No.
I recognize & understand that I do not own the music that I share. But does that one simple point dictate that anyone who shares that music in a community like ours does not deserve a simple thank you? I see your point about how mentioning original uploaders as being "dangerous" but all filesharers put themselves in that position every time they post. You have said what you feel about it and I thank you and in no way am I angry about it.
About having a thanks, they sure as hell deserve it, but I also think that they shouldn’t make too much of a fuss if they don’t get it… That’s all. I’m already very happy I’m sharing, that I’m able to give something back, every once in a while. Getting thanks make me happier, of course, but I can live without them on this kind of communities.
Yeah that guy konio755 has got some gaul posting other peoples work as his own sometimes the very day the original poster made the post and before they (orignal poster) can share it elsewhere he has already beat them to the punch.
What an ass. http://peachyforum.com/userdir/Gemini37/Smiley‘s/NEW/pissedoff2.gif
HAHA right .. but i like him .. he is fast and he is upping a lohohohohot of stuff .. but ok, if he got the time for it, he should to give credit .. mimi
just for the record, i’d like to make a few things clear.
i don’t really care for the credit but i personally only post on the FF thread and not the main thread. that way people can see my avatar and my share and as such they know it is my upload.
i don’t post my upload in the main page/directory because i feel that there is best for FLAC or Mp3 320 rips.
i provide tide me over rips that for some people are good enough and for others are not. some claim to have ordered the disc or wish to do so at a later time and i think my sampler shares are good enough for those kinds of people.
i think its fair to give credit consider Konio re-post my stuff almost hours after i share it and he does in fact get the upload for me or at the very least inform others it isn’t his rip.
again it isnt anything personal and i think it helps to clear things up.
its like the fuss people make over calling a DVD RIP a PROMO or COMPLETE/EXPANDED score.
As for credit, if BJ there is ok with it, then its not anyone else’s deal. I do think that reposting within an hour or so, is…mm..maybe a little disrespectful, especially when blanketing a dozen blogs in an hour. I brought this up recently. But, on the other hand, in today’s climate it is true that many mirrors increase the chance of a link lasting. IF that is a concern to the poster. As for credit, like Sorei, most of my stuff comes from on-line somewhere, much of it before I ever found this site. Unless I specify I own a disc, it is safe to assume it is not my rip. I think that is often a case, with some notable exceptions. These things are getting passed around so much, tracking who posted what when is kinda a waste of time. That said, it is nice to know that your effort to even bother sharing is appreciated now and then.
And if he didn’t post it at a shitty bitrate, someone else would have posted it at a decent bitrate instead.
So can someone explain to me how my rips keep others from posting better rips?
a credit to the ripper (only if it a fine rip)
– i heard now, that some pleople likes small rips. ok. but please make a 320 and flac rip too
and a thank you goes to the upper. and yes, if the upper knows about the ripper. please give credit
the upper should have a nice credit too if it a rare or brand new release (just for the hard work to find it)

I never wish to take credit away from the Label or Composer but at the very least if people know this is one of my rips and they HATE my rips, they can avoid them or be suspicious of a rip if someone like Konio posts NOT MY RIP.

I’m not downloading your stupid rips and that’s that. Why do you have to make it out to more than what it is?
If you wish to constantly remind me so of this fact then I will constantly cause a stir.
———- Post added at 02:24 PM ———- Previous post was at 02:23 PM ———-
Well, I **suppose** it is within the (slight) realm of possibility that if members see that it is already posted, they won’t bother with their own rips. However, even konio’s posts suggest otherwise. look at how many multiple posts we get around here all the time. And it is far worse on other sites. paradox can have three posts of the same album by three different members in a day. I don’t see any evidence that an album’s already having been posted affects the chances of more posts. I kinda wish it did at times, to lessen the clutter…:/
But how many times have we seen members ask for upgrades of albums and other members provide? Or better how many have provided their own personal rips of albums that could have been found if searched for on the net?
Normally, I would expect a better rip to surface eventually. lately though, there have been less on the public blogs. More on the private ones, but not as often or as freely as in the past. I do not credit your rips for that, just seems folks are being more cautious, and more private. Which is why i suggest pm-ing people nicely. More likely to get it than insulting them publicly.
Then again, I’m nutters…:D
Just as you constantly bring me up at EVERY opportunity? :laugh:
Some would almost say you have a thing for me or something.
BUUUT, truthfully, your name **was** brought into this first, and it isn’t a stretch to forsee that you would respond to that. So, yea.
Stupid rips? How ungrateful, someone goes out of his/her way and shares, yet people like you got the guts to complain and insult… Did you all forget that all these sharers are already doing a great, kind, thing "simply" by sharing? You have the chance to get stuff for free, here, something you should have paid for in the first place, in most cases. You… as well as anyone else in your place… shouldn’t be complaining about the quality. It’s perfectly fine to request better-quality rips, but going as far as insulting a sharer’s work…. No, that’s simply wrong.
How do you say it in english? Don’t look a gifted horse in the mouth?
Some would almost say you have a thing for me or something.
Your right. I did bring your name up first. I said the following….
thank you Konio755.
now this way people like the black death can attack both of us for "spreading our inferior rips across the web."
I made that comment as a joke but it stems from an actual statement you made. I don’t see how this was me trolling or flaming you.
And sure enough you wasted no time slamming the upload.
I’d also like to say I personally have no interest in "Link," it’s a small little score I’ve never even heard of, so I wouldn’t be surprised if a better rip never shows up. Jerry Goldsmith will be immortalized in 160 VBR forever…
How do you say it in english? Don’t look a gifted horse in the mouth?
The funny thing is, I know every time he uploads an anticipated score in low quality VBR, he is in fact doing it to spite me. He even said as much in one comment of his.
I’m sure members who will eventually receive their own disc will comply.
I will not however stop posting my uploads especially since enough people seem to enjoy them. I am sorry you are not one of them. I cannot help that there aren’t any more members who actually buy disc in the FF.
I don’t know anything about that, and quite frankly is not my problem. You shouldn’t go and insult his efforts, even if his versions are the only ones available, keep in mind that sharers must not share, they don’t have any kind of obligation to the community…. Going and insulting someone that wasted his/her time to provide you with free stuff isn’t really nice.

I don’t see how you took my comment as baiting. Even if I posted "Because we all know HE WHO HATES MY RIPS will find some reason to complain" you’d still know it was you. I’ve got no reason to mix words.
You made it clear you dont like my rips and for me to joke about such is not baiting. I was making light of our last exchange.
so thieves who steals from thieves should have a code among themselves?
Hilarious indeed, as long as it is downloads we are talking about, who cares?
This is why the Shrine is a fun place to visit and reading about all the egos that are in play here…
Leech or share, but why complaining of something that is for free.
Then again I do not understand this game of who is the fastest to put up a new link of a new released CD?
If it is old or OOP, I understand, but the new ones??

I see people make request for new stuff and since I have it I throw in my shares.
I don’t feel credit on my rips is so much an ego thing but more of a you know exactly what rip it is and you might wish to avoid.
In a perfect world my rips would just stay on the FF thread and never leave there. I don’t want them spreading.

..actually, there’s only a couple. Each with an odd sense of humor.
So, you see, it really matters very little who is or is not credited. Hell, even IF the creator wasn’t credited (or no one at all, for that matter!), a simple wikipedia/google/mobygames/vgmd search fixes that.
Not only Surround Sound, but phenomenal bitrate! Which is a lot more than what the LaLa Land Records release offers (which I still want to buy for archiving).
I can’t even find a full bluray rip anywhere to download and do the work myself.
In the meantime, I just play it on the stand-alone bluray player connected to loud system. It’s soooo pretty!
I have that DVD in my player right now, ready for a viewing tonight. 🙂
I think the LaLa edition is sold out though. 🙁
It was chocolate, and it was delicious.

And whatshisface was banned… for the time being.
So we’re all going to have to pull the hunt for ourselves… for the time being.
It’s a nice change of pace… for the time being.
Well, I’m off to do some editing and and might have something up soon… for the time being.
That said, I can do Twister, and Nightmare Before Christmas in windows lossless still if wanted, but i need to remember who requested them????
"not verified on eac", you mean the AccurateRip results?
If it shows none of the tracks are verified, it should mean you have a different pressing than the ones submitted to EAC.
It’s all user-based, so whoever rips and submits, it gets added to the list for AccurateRip results.
It also depends on the settings you chose, I believe.
Each drive is different and requires different settings. If not configured properly, the results will be different for AccurateRip results.
If a lot of people use basic settings for their drive and submit those results, I think it can get a little hairy.
You’ll see [confidence: ##] a lot, if it doesn’t say "not accurate". The number indicates how many people had the same rip results as yours (and submitted them).
I submit my results and drive settings. I’m part of the collective now. And perhaps #17 on the Confidence scale. Maybe even 1 :/
As long as you don’t see any CRC errors or any other strange errors, the AccurateRip results are very…variable.
"You may have a different pressing" is something most people like to see if you’re rips aren’t accurate.
When I bought the Inception soundtrack, I ripped the CD right away to make an immediate backup before it suffers any scratches.
Not one track was accurate in the AccurateRip database. No errors though. So it was all good.
People should be happy with any lossless format.
If your discs are quite worn, EAC should be able to rip them at a slower speed and use different techniques to read the disc to try and recover as much as possible without error.
I’ve got some worn discs, but rip fine with EAC. One really bad disc though 🙁
Found an updated rip somewhere so at least I’ve got a working rip 🙂
Still wish the CD worked though 🙁
Maybe I’ll but it again 🙂
If I can find it…

Ok, back to being serious.
What is the difference between Blu-ray and DVD and why should I upgrade to Blu-ray?
(My kids are trying to get me to get a plasma tv, but I really like the LED tv I saw at BestBuy. They also want a Blu-ray player.)
If there is no really good reason, I will hold off till they stop making DVD’s, then upgrade. I just really hate having to buy a movie on one format (such as Gleaming the Cube on Beta) then having to buy it again in two more formats because of technology.
Thanks
AirElemental
I mean, just look at ’em, obviously up to no good…
I understand Blue-Ray players will also play regular dvd, so you should not have to re-buy any of them unless you wanted to.
I’m still replacing some of my vhs tapes.
Watched two movies on blue-ray disks and did not see a difference between it and what is on my 1998 sanyo tv, and memorex dvd player.
Personally the sound on my tv was better than my new Vio, and I have a speaker system connected to the docking station.
Partly because, like you said, AirElemental, I might not even notice a difference 😉
@babdoll, non-3-d is real-D? Gosh.
I am trying to get awake in real-L (real life)
I’ve seen some AVI and MP4’s that have better video and sound than some DVD’s and Blue Ray.
Personally, DVD’s are cheaper. I’ll stick with that.
Sometimes the director will be invited to supervise the transfer and say what they want done.
The Aliens Quadrilogy is an example. Except for the 4th movie: Alien Resurrection. He was never invited. It was a simple transfer with no improvements.
The Matrix had its original green hue restored. The first dvd release had the green hue, just like in the theaters. Then when they made the fancy boxset, they removed it. Then when they made the bluray, they restored it. Nostalgic, I think.
The bitrate for the movies much higher, but yeah, it’s mostly noticable on tv’s that are 37" and up.
The sound is improved. The audio bitrate can be the new lossles formats for movies: DTS-HD Master Audio, Dobly TrueHD, PCM (Uncompressed).
Even the AC3 encoding has improved. It’s no longer the DVD-compliant bitrate of 448.
AC3 tracks are typically @640 for the main movie now. And some isolated scores.
They say that @640, it has transparency. or something or other, which is lost at bitrates lower than 448.
Bluray may have more special features not found on dvd. Batman Begins, Inception, and a few others. Mostly the newew releases.
I only got about 20 bluray movies. which isn’t nearly a fraction of the dvd’s i have.
i still watch dvd though…with a grain of salt >.>
But, wait! What’s this???
they want to make a "RED RAY" now…..which will be like 5x the capacity of a bluray……………………………… O_O

oh, and i dont really care about Bluray 3D at home…its not even that much of a hype in theaters….unless the movie is a blockbuster like Tron Legacy or something…..
Until ReadD-3D markets their technology at a super low price for ALL home users….yeah, i’ll stick to red/blue, red/green sunglasses.
I am beyond sick of scrapping my old equipment for the next new thing or gimmick like 3-D TV. Year before last my Dad bought a 48" Sony Bravio HD LCD TV at Wal-mart’s black Friday sale not because he was lusting after something new but because our old tv died and that was just the right price.
Our standard dvd’s look great and our old vhs tapes that we have yet to transfer look ok in EP and good in SP so why shoud I buy a blue-ray player so you can see the pours on the actors face? Why isn’t a clear picture good enough? My Dad never watches the special features but I do but I also get sick of buying a dvd and 3 months later they release the new wiz-bang deluxe version to milk more cash out us.
My Dad and I have spent 36 years building our movie library with more than 10,000 movies & tv titles combined on beta tape (transfered or re-recorded to vhs in the 90’s), vhs tape (only 25% have been tranfered/re-recorded on dvd-rom or replaced on dvd) and standard dvd. At this point both of us refuse to "upgrade" to blu-ray.
I did some recording on the Beta video recorder and it transfered to my computer just as good as my Sony Digital 8.
I figure if they have to change formats again I will just copy everything to my computer.
I really hate having to buy everything again.
Its just some office jock trying to make more money.

ALRIGHT NOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
YouTube – ‪Best of AMV hell‬‏ (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wo-7HVBMZ3Y&feature=player_detailpage#t=479s)
it took me forever to find that clip
Boogiepop pointed that one out to me, but I still need to discover more of his music, any suggestions?
Never would have guessed.
I would say you have to like the Zimmer style first of all, but I would probably recommend Solomon Kane most of all.
I quite liked The Promise. Very pleasant and epic (and I’m NOT just using this word to describe a comic book movie).
I think Rescue Dawn (http://youtu.be/ZjkslIg9hoY) is HIGHLY underrated.
K-19: The Widowmaker and The Time Machine has some nice bits in them too.
I have about seven or eight Zimmer scores I love.
THOSE are action scores, though (besides "Beyond Rangoon", I guess) but I loved the quiet Pledge Score. Not because it was Zimmer-like, I guess 😉
speaking of scores (in the relevant thread), Im quite taken by Bates latest Conan score.
it doesn’t match Poledouris’ scores, no.
But I think it’s quite nice.
i’d listen to it while playing RTS games.
I think Rescue Dawn (http://youtu.be/ZjkslIg9hoY) is HIGHLY underrated.
K-19: The Widowmaker and The Time Machine has some nice bits in them too.
promise,rescue dawn on my playlist now.
K-19 and time machine too, but not as high up 😉
Speaking of a score I don’t care for – not surprisingly – the new Conan, by not-my-favorite-composer Tyler Bates seems sadly lacking – especially when compared to the glorious brashness of BP’s 1st two scores. Even when compared to another remake – Clash of the Titans. (Which itself was a disappointment to me – based on my love of the original) but comparing these two scores – I have to say the new COTT really holds up better with the mythos of the subject matter.
Though I guess I’ll have to reserve final judgement for actually seeing the movie – though it will be a couple weeks before it hits Taiwan. Maybe the marriage of score and image will help the enjoyment. Though I do prefer music that can stand-alone – like BP’s earlier efforts.

I really love The Time Machine – it is one of my favorite scores by KB – though The Promise gets high marks IMO as well. Both of those scores (the albums anyway) seem like cohesive full-bodied listening experiences – which I love. I get kind of lost when an album presentation lingers too long on dense fiddle-de-da action music – but give me some thematic material like these two – and I’ll love it forever.
What other of his albums would live up to that pedigree (Of The Promise & Time Machine?)
The Sherlock Holmes soundtrack by Hans Zimmer is not 5.1.
No matter how you look at it and what software you use, it’s all stereo.
Which means Dolby Pro Logic I/II
When you buy the CD and put it in your computer, the extra content on the disc gives you a link to follow.
At the link given, you will be able to download, for free, the soundtrack in supposedly 5.1 WAV files.
But when looking at all the files in different software, it all indicates stereo.
No sign of it being 5.1.
And I’ve played around with a lot of multichannel files. FLAC, WAV, etc.
I don’t know what they were thinking, but they screwed that up.
They made up for it when you buy the 2-disc blu-ray of Inception.
The second disc only features 10 of 12 tracks in DTS-HD Master Audio (5.1, 24bit, 48KHz). The other two tracks not in the soundtrack contain excerpts, variations of Edith Piaf’s "Non, Je Ne Regrette Rian", so copyrights were probably not obtained to put them on blu-ray.
I was going to share the WAV files, but since they’re not actually 5.1, it would be just a waste of time to upload.
And a great waste of time for others to download.
A heads up to anyone with.. interesting ‘skills’.
On his FTP is complete versions of most of his scores + the accompanying sheets.

Thanks for the heads up. 🙂

Hmmm…seems like I’ve got something to do this weekend :naughty:
This is what ive heard. I havent totally investigated for myself other than things hes sent me from there which arent public.
Some sites I’ve seen provide both mp3 and wav formats.
the mp3’s can vary a lot.
but if you’re not finding anything higher than that, the only way to get better bitrates is to ask the peeps to provide you with higher bitrates :laugh:
Most sites I’ve seen that have previews usually go about 128.
Some really nice, rare occassions i’ve seen 320 🙂 but that’s extremely rare 🙁
I think Rescue Dawn (http://youtu.be/ZjkslIg9hoY) is HIGHLY underrated.
K-19: The Widowmaker and The Time Machine has some nice bits in them too.
Ok: I like "The Promise" and "Rescue Dawn"! Listening to some promise in the morning ;)… now switched to the rescue… straight on to the ipod….
It all depends on the original encoding rate.
Those ‘skills’ are not the skills I was referring to tho haha.
You are so right about the audio of Sherlock.
Something is off.
I will have to check the film to see how Bates’
Conan works in the picture.
@everybody
Talking Klaus Badelt, you should check out the following
scores if you want to get straight to the essential stuff:
– Equilibrium: The featured synth choir is amazing.
– Ultra-Violet If you want to hear Badelt in full, advanced, experimental action mode. Big fun!
– Rescue Dawn: Serious shit, but a masterpiece in it’s own right
– Premonition: Includes the sweetest tune for piano imaginable; I’m not a sucker for sob stories,
but in my book, this one’s a winner
– Time Machine: Mainly for it’s classic time travel cues, the rest is ripped of from Thin Red Line.
– The Pledge: Ambient thing; very ambient, you know. But has a few cues of enormous beauty.
– The Promise: Exotic touches for those who need a vacation quickly; well done, but a bit too
long on album
One to avoid: Poseidon, at all cost! And every movie title Badelt composed beginning with an ‘S’.
S is for shit.
But I’m not completely through with his recent output (mostly
sequels, spin-offs and some cheap run-of-the-mill cheap fantasy/
action crap). Tell me if I missed another good one!
I skipped "Solomon Kane". Probably because there
is an ‘S’ in it. Thank you for recommending it!

Thanks, NC Aden.
Experiment for the general public, who never
got what’s the point about Jablonsky, Zimmer
and the Remote Control lot:
Try this:
Have you ever tried to watch a Transformers
movie, with sound off, but accompanied by
your favorite John Williams action score from
the 70’s, 80’s, maybe early 90’s? Mind the
speed, and which thing is slowing the other
thing down?
Another one:
Watch Pirates of the Caribbean, putting
Korngold under it. What happens? Do you
realize why they’ve chosen a more rock
flavoured score instead the classic pirate
music that would have been on the nose?
Try to watch the whole finale of "Troy",
with Miklos Rozsa’s El Cid playing in the
background. What do you notice, beyond
the logical anachronisms?
Watch Jurassic Park with the LOTR-
music by Howard Shore underneath.
Will that match? Or is it odd, throwing
you out of the experience?
Or Inception. Find music that matches
with the images, out of your Jerry Gold-
smith library.
It’s not about the composition and the
quality of the music as such. It’s about
finding a style that fits those new films.
All what Jablonsky, Badelt, Zimmer, Bates,
Gregson-Williams are trying to achieve in
the first place, is coming up with a style
that helps the images and the particular
film without pulling the audience out of
the movie.
For them, it’s secondary if their scores
can stand up alone on Cd or record. And
these people are at the top of their game
right now. They pay them a lot of money
for that.
It will be tough to find a better score for
Inception than the one Hans has written.
LOL!
post script:
Understanding the process of scoring will
at least help you to understand WHY they
score movies like this today – as opposed
to the ones from the golden or silver age.
My whole point is: If once you’ve come to
appreciate this effort, you will also be able to
enjoy modern scores a good deal more!
Exactly.
I enjoy the new masters as much as the older
champions as well as the lords of the golden
age. They all have in common that they all had
to reinvent their craft to match the changing
environment.
But this was not meant to be an argument. It
is meant to be a TEST. Try it. It’s the best way
to approach it. By experimenting with different
audio tracks.
I never said that I really like what Tyler Bates
does now. He wrote some fun and highly
memorable music for Californication. Time will
tell what style will emerge from his talent. The
potential is there. In 14 years we will be
hunting down Cd’s like "Slithers" or "Conan",
like we were possessed, just because we will
have realized at some point, years after Tyler’s
big break, that he wrote some interesting stuff
in the past, buried under a pile of crap.
And that past is happening now.
I was wrong, calling Mr John Williams a hack. I
give you that. What I meant was, to put it more
precisely, is:
John Williams’ voice has become stark. It has lost
its immediate effectiveness in the theatre. Certainly
not on record, as pure music. But on the big screen,
it just didn’t survive the second part of the 90’s.
needless to say. never mind.
—-
i’m off to a par-ty!
peace out.
Does a score produced 16 years ago and
older still sound CONTEMPORARY to your
ears?
Say, if we had a time machine, and we
travelled back to Hollywood in the 1950’s…
QUESTION:
What if …
we could convince Miklos Rozsa to compose
the soundtrack for TRANSFORMERS 3. Which
particular style would he come up with?
I think the movies dictate 80% of what
the music has to sound like in the finished
product. Having worked in the field for
some time, I know the process.
ANSWER:
Facing the film, and looking at the strange new
equipment in his modern office, Rozsa would do
exactly the same thing as Jablonsky.
Just with theremins.
Exactly.

I get what your doing now but I still dont get what you mean. As bad as the Star Wars prequels were all the music was great, in any context the piece played during order 66 conveys more sorrow than some of the most depressing pieces of music where as His original themes for the Harry Potter movies 1-3 are still very memorable.Why should someone change their style just to sound contemporary? No one cares how it holds on its own compared to later things, its about its quality for all of time. Just because a score doesnt use guitar, thundering bass, and loads of synth should it be considered old fashioned.
It’s clearly Williams channeling Zimmer. GLADIATOR,
to be exact.
Mr Williams adjusted his style on various occasions.
The choir thing from Empire of the Sun, for example,
was produced this way after they gave him Morricone’s
The Mission, as a temp track.
And you can clearly tell that The Lion King score was
hot when they recorded the music for Amistad ten
years later.
Filmmakers care for the moment only – the span when
the film runs in theatres, for the first time. As long as
it is effective and oozes some kind of quality.
I’ve never said that everything turns out to be gold,
however.
Okay! Back to work.#
check out some sometime.
Now, if Jaws was being filmed for the first time today, there would be no need for the shark to be represented that way. CGI would make the shark easy to represent. The original was a happy failure. The lack of a working effect forced the director to adapt, and a better film and score resulted. But today, …the temptation would likely be to show the attacks in all of their grisly glory.
New Blade Runner movie, Lets speculate on the score. Would be nice change of pace.
So true.
And if you think about it: What Williams did was he was essentially composing music for some rubber shark that was kept invisible for most of the screen time. The result was an instant, but also a long-term classic! Music to be listened to for decades. Many composers have to score very simple things, in the beginning. Progressing from that, the devil is in the detail.
Watch "Ransom", for example. The film features a plane, much snow and Sean Connery acting poorly. There is no action whatsoever or decent plot in the film, which was pretty boring to begin with. What Jerry Goldsmith did: He painted out this huge, empty canvas, with his fascinating textures, rythms and melodies, as if he was scoring something of worth, something only he could see. You have to see the film to appreciate that. At the end of the day, this is still an art form, modern trends aside.
I’m still wondering why nobody ever thought of doing a remake of Jaws. With Gerard Butler as Quint. A female Chief Brody. Jesse Eisenberg as Hooper. 45 sharks. Directed by Zach Snyder.
It’s about time!
I think Ridley Scott would eat his own shit before hiring Bates, he will probably go to Vangelis but I dont know if Vangelis is still active.
It is no different these days, I bet. But, newer directors are needing a different sound, for a different audience. That’s business, and the first and most important job of a score. In the 70’s and 80’s, these directors saw the score as another actual character in the film, and the scores were dramatic, with identifiable themes, to augment said film. They were MEANT to stand out. Today’s scores are more atmospheric, meant to augment a scene’s mood while still remaining fairly transparent. No identifiable theme to hum, not so brassy and obvious. Not MY thing, but I grew up in the 70’s and 80’s and those are the scores that hooked mw in the first place….
One shouldn’t make the mistake, though, to close
the book and stop to be open for new good things,
even if they are hard to locate under piles of care-
lessly made crap.
On the other hand: If you are open to anything,
your brains will fall out!
As much as I love his music I hope he doesn’t do the new score…why you ask? Because of his egomaniacal attitude the original score wasn’t released until twelve years later and in my opinion it was botched leaving a lot of key cues out which is why so many bootlegs have popped up over the years.
I think Tangerine Dream should score the new version because they haven’t scored a film in almost a decade and I think with their current lineup of members it would be phenomenal! But then again I am very biased. 😀

That is true. This movie (other than Scott) will have cast and crew wise very little to do with Blade Runner 1 (never thought I would say that). Ford’s not coming back, Young more than likely isnt, Mako is dead, and unless its in a flashback Rutger Hauer wont be in it. Im not familiar with tangerine dream but maybe your right they can do it. I can’t think of very many synth musicians at the monment. It would be bad if Vangelis did this one but I wasnt saying on prefrence, Scott has a tendency repeatedly work with composers. Unless its like the same thing with Scott and Ford I dont know of many problems Scott had with Vangelis.
Is Ford’s decision definitive ? I’m not that sure. his career recently isn’t going that well, as the last indy was so-so. But he looks awesome in Cowboy & Aliens.

Plus what Ford does now is kinda just some fun till retirement methinks.
My choise for Prometheus would be Joel Goldsmith. And for Blade Runner? Who the hell wants to see a second part? The story is told …
But who knows what the future brings. Perhaps comes from somewhere a composer we did not have on the bill.
Tangerine Dream? Why not Giorgio Moroder or Harold Faltermeyer? I think there’s a reason why no one is more like it … Sorry, i think a movie needs good music. All that creepy 80’s stuff … childhood memories, nothing more.
Experimental music is almost entirely disappeared, no one tried out more new. Anyone with a keyboard thinks he is a composer. Greetings to Tyler Bates.
I miss scores like Planet Of The Apes or Logans Run. In recent years, producers and directors tend to boring music, Gabriel Yared’s Troy is the best example. A perfect score replaced by what? A routined Horner. Not bad, but exchangeable.
that’s my feeling …
🙂
If you have heard TD since the 80’s then you would know their sound has continued to evolve which in no way resembles their experimental roots as heard on their first seven albums.
Yes, i know. But i think a new Blade Runner movie needs a new, modern point of view. TD is a child of the 80’s. Still good music for the audience.
Perhaps a symbiosis like Daft Punk’s TRON Legacy. Or something unexpected.
I really like John Williams. But his music in movies like Bourne? Don’t think so. Time has changed, the new century needs new composers, new style, new faces.
Something i’ve never heard of.
Not a bad idea. A cooperation between several composers would be of interest. Powell for the action, Zigman for emotion, Shapiro for funk, conducted and mixed by …
I would second that but he tends to be repetitive (Like TD during the 70’s) which is annoying but I do like much of his music.
How about David Arkenstone? another very talented composer who already has a few soundtracks under his belt.
Robot Wars
Frontier
World Of Warcraft: Taverns Of Azeroth
Emperor: Battle for Dune

A bit too esoteric for my taste.

goddamn poles, unreleasing mah osts!

Arkenstones first two albums came out in the 80’s but the bulk of his material came out in the 90’s and 2k’s. You seem to think that anyone who happened to be in the music business in the 80’s as specific genre from which they will never escape despite changes in personnel and musical styles.
If you are a purist when it comes to traditional scores I have some favorites there too but I think the new BR should at least be electronic as a not to what came before.
… agreed.
I’ve heard some of his compositions for pc games. And my point is i do not remember anything of it, unfortunately.

it had a moderate sized selection of soundtracks.
It’s steadily increasing in lossless material. but most of it can be found from direct download links first.
only a fraction of original content shows up there.
i’ve seen some vinyl rips on torrents sites long before they showed up in shrine.
i barely go there anymore.
Also, does anyone know of a free flv converter, that is good? Mine I guess is a trial thing, about to expire..

Anybody of the excite for the new LOTR Symphony 2-disc album (http://www.amazon.com/Lord-Rings-Symphony-21st-Century/dp/B005FNJL7K/ref=sr_1_8?s=music&ie=UTF8&qid=1313801979&sr=1-8) coming out soon?
I am.
I don’t normally pre-order a lot of albums I know are going to be on the shelf at my local HMV but this one gets me giddy.
Babydoll. you can try Audacity, it’s free.
You can also look for one they call Goldwave (not free, but i use it).
Adobe audition (not free) is pretty much king, but i find it’s functions to be a little more advanced.
i still haven’t updated to the newest version out there.
I’d recommend Audacity first. It seems to do quite well all around.
It’s pretty much all I need to get the job done.
…and it’s fairly simple to use once you get the hang of it.

This?

WHY? Not mad, just shocked. 1492 was the very first Vangelis CD I ever bought, so it has sentimental value for me and it turned me on to his other works.
That or go for a japanese composer, like Taku Iwasaki (Not much chance of this one happening).
It is difficult to explain this because English is not my native language. From my perspective it is important to see how the music changed over the years. Blade Runner was made 30 years ago and the score still sounds modern.
1492 was made 20 years ago and what i feel is " uuh boring, sounds like an esoteric symposium".
What reminds you after many years? that sounds not aged? From a sentimental value i like 1492, from an artistic point of view no.
A few weeks ago I watched Transformers 3 at the cinema, incredible cgi, great entertainment. Today I can hardly remember it. And why? There is nothing more, only a good looking movie without any soul.
The same can be said of Steve Jablonsky’s score. The music has an accompanying function, nothing more.
Blade Runner was an experiment and became a milestone and the music too. Vangelis work for 1492 is too functional, no new ideas. A copy of his older works. Good to listen, nothing more.
I was thinking earlier today, why not asking Daft punk ?
That’s my point …
I listened to Goldsmith’s PSYCHO 2 the other day,
for the first time since ages, and it sounded like
old time radio. It’s become so dated it made me
laugh.
While MR BASEBALL is still a masterpiece, certainly
Goldsmith’s best score since WARLOCK.
Every time I see a construction site or a demolished lot, I always want to grab a stranger and point at it and say "the clouded mind sees nothing".
And, thanks for audacity. I am having fun playing…
Seiter, or Giacchino. Perfectly suits me, walking around in
lower parts of the town, looking for love.
"The Shadow" was and is cool! "The Poppy Fields", the cue
title alone, gives me the shivers when I walk down to the
abandoned airfield, looking for salvation.
But what I enjoy most is listening to McCreary’s "Galactica",
especially "A Promise to Return", when walking around killing
people in their backyards, shooting them in the head.
Yeah! Featuring the Simpsons tune variations,
such as the little known Simpsons Hill Street
Blues variant, the JFK version, the Cuban, the
Australian, the Vegas, Renaissance and, last
but not least, the "It’s a mad, mad, mad, mad
world" version!
I love giving birth listening to these tunes, after
having impregnated myself.
The X-Files, MillenniuM, Buffy, Angel, Prison Break, BSG, Carnivale, LOST and Fringe were all favorites too.
Walter Murphy & Ron Jones also seem to hand in some surprisingly impressive music on Family Guy.
Yes, great stuff. Especially all the musical references …
AND Star Trek TNG. Dennis McCarthy, Ron Jones, Jay Chattaway, milestones in
tv scoring.
Mother bought me a double LP of Williams "Star Wars" (along with Tchaikovsky’s "The Nutcracker") when I was a wee lad. That must have been ’83 or ’84.
It wasn’t untill ’88 that I bought my first score with my own money. 🙂 Elfman’s "Beetlejuice" on cassette….followed by Silvestri’s "Roger Rabbit"…….
…….then it all spiraled out of control from there.
——
despite fully enjoying the modern "influenced" styles of today’s film scores from the likes of Brian Tyler, Ramin Djawadi, Michael Giacchino, Jason Graves (VGM Score), Bear MccReary, Ilan Eshkeri, Alexandre Desplat, Steve Jablonsky, and more…, classic film scores never seizes to amaze me as each of them had in one way or the other defined a particular era or timeline. Erich Wolfgang Korngold, Max Steiner, Elmer Bernstein, Hugo Friedhoffer, Ennio Morricone, Nino Rota, Bernard Herrmann, Akira Ifukube is a personal favorites. not to forget the likes of Basil Poledouris, John Williams, David Raksin, Jerry Goldsmith, Lalo Schifrin, Alan Silvestri, John Barry all have a lots of memorable theme’s or score that is a regular staple for my playlist.
It wont stop there as I also enjoy’s the music coming from the Anime’ scores with the likes of equally great composers like Joe Hisaishi, Taro Iwashiro, Kohei Tanaka, Shiro Sagisu and Naoki Sato(u) to name a few.
With that I had to add that even scores coming from Animated superhero toon’s of orchestral form popularized by the late great Shirley Walker (who in my opinion deserves to be recognized among the greats of film scores as well as the proponent for the recognition that women composers can be just great too) with her scores on Batman The Animated Series and the equally memorable orchestral theme for Superman the Animated series. That’s where the names like Lolita Ritmanis, Michael McCuistion, Christopher Drake, James Venable, Guy Michelmore, Robert J. Kral is a must to listen for me.
Whenever i listen to score, i try to look for it’s own merit as a stand alone music. if it does/doesn’t suit me then there’s always the perspective of listening to it with reference to the film itself on whether or not it gives justice to the film or not.
In whether it’s less than perfect, good, great, mediocre to the opinion of other folks, it doesn’t bother me for as long as I enjoyed it and somehow felt what the music is trying to convey on whether it should be for fight, fright, aggression, joy, anger, excitement, bewilderment, etc.
That was the beginning. I still have the lp,
for sentimental reasons.
And all not easy to find in my hometown.
A long time ago…
So I didn’t see the movie, I heard it. And the score made quitre an impression on me. I hated and still hate the thing, but I was so enthralled by the score that I bought it on tape, then when I finally killed the tape after 17years of intense use, I bought the thing on CD. got me hooked on vangelis, actually.
As for the first score I bought as a "collector", I’d say it was Conan the Barbarian’s score by poledouris, around year 2000. and then, 4 years ago, I began to discover the world of music sharing (through FFshrine, I got here while googling for the score of "Plunkett and McLean"). Then, the download binge began, and hasn’t yet stopped.
JonC
I remember when I first got it, I was appalled by lack of dialogue and SFX, and was not interested in it much, than 3 or 4 years ago, I decided to listen to it again and was hooked.
In the 70s Morricone’s Once Upon a Time in the West was a gift from my brother. But my first real blown-away experience with film music at a young age was Goldsmith’s First Blood back in the 80s. But I became a film music enthusiast a lot later.
…To watch Superman and Star Wars in cinema was a blast – no serious time to worry about music back then. 🙂
I was expecting a lot of "Jurassic Park" or "Curse Of The Black Pearl" responses like some of the other places I frequent. 🙂

Hell yeah, Jurassic Park remains as one of my favorites but I discovered film music some times earlier. Today I’m glad that I didn’t bought too many LPs back then ‘cos I don’t like this medium anymore.
I was expecting a lot of "Jurassic Park" or "Curse Of The Black Pearl" responses like some of the other places I frequent. 🙂
Well, I was aware of film music at a rather young age, but my interest really flared (meaning I began to actually buy a lot more film scores than pop, metal or anything) because of two things: my growing interest for animes back around 1999, and my passion for role playing games (I love using scores while playing. helps set the mood) 😀
for the score on the Oriental side, just like docrate it all started from my likings to the anime shows (though at first i prefer the the theme songs done by an artist or band) nowadays its the other way around.. 😀
WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOT!
COMPLETE SCORE!
EVERY NOTE!!
WHERE’S YOUR PIRATES NOW???!!!

that and a star destroyer!
My first score ever was probably something John Williams. I was like, 5 years old when I first got into Spielberg films, and their scores were a big part of that, so I actually think I got a compilation album from the library or something, ripped it to my computer, then returned it (the future music pirate in me started developing at a very young age). After that, it’s all just a pretty big John Williams-esque score blur to me, until I started getting into other composers (Trevor Rabin’s "Deep Blue Sea" was also one of my first actual ‘score’ albums, as well as Randy Edelman’s "The Mask" and the Lincoln Bootleg for "Ghostbusters" by Elmer Bernstein.)
As big of a Zimmer fan as I am now – and this is pretty embarrassing to admit – but I actually didn’t really start fully appreciating Hans Zimmer’s work until The Dark Knight came out. No idea why, I guess that was when the dam officially broke or something, and since then I’ve been obsessed. I’d had other Zimmer scores before then, of course, but that was when his music finally clicked for me.

in response to the topic of a new blade runner score, i think AIR would be a good choice. they’ve proven themselves quite capable as score composers, and if it’s gonna be purely electronic, these guys could perfectly capture the atmospheric "prog-wave" feel of the original vangelis score while also keeping it original.
Really nice from the get-go. Nice little melody too… i think ima play "lamp-lamp lambency" to put meself to sleep tonight.
It’s too bad, because when he actually puts forward the necessary effort, the end result is something quite spectacular. But when he doesn’t, well, it’s just pretty uninteresting. For instance, the only real parts of the Pirates of the Caribbean scores that I like are the themes by Zimmer alone (The Kraken, Jack Sparrow, Davy Jones, Marry Me, ect.). The rest of it just doesn’t really interest me all that much.
I feel really old now.
I was expecting a lot of "Jurassic Park" or "Curse Of The Black Pearl" responses like some of the other places I frequent.
No. It was the early 90’s and I am a middle aged child. I had no cd player, so i’ve got cassettes.
If there had been a lot of talk over 2 or 3 getting a full score release, then I’d be ecstatic.
I mush prefer the organ for Davy Jones and the Kraken over nothing in Pirates 4.
I think the overall "3D" was the appeal to 4. The story was okay. Not as well planned and fleshed out as earlier ones.
Sparrow had some funny parts, but not as much as to buy the movie.
2&3 is where it’s at, for me, personally.
Really love the Pirate Lord of Singapore’s theme and cues.
klendathu drop is epic
klendathu drop is epic
The only thing more epic is the complete or hell even that alternate Whiskey Outpost music. There is a bootleg that is floating around (not here for obvious reasons) that has the complete score at a pretty good quality. If I can get a computer with a Bluray drive I would buy the movie and rip the soundtrack myself. But the only laptop that had one was pretty much a POS.
R.E.M.’s Automatic For the People
Pinnochio Soundtrack/Score
Batman Returns Score
Not sure why this just popped into my head. (Now I have over 800 Score disks and untold pop/alt/weirdness.)

I also hear the Badelt cowrote the score of Starship Troopers 3, I dont think that movie was so much of creative stretch.
I was disappointed in his score to ST3 – I had been looking forward to it since it is in the epic space adventure genre – and had Basil Poledouris attached to the 1st movie. But the score – like the film was lackluster. Oh well. Should have known for a straight to DVD release.
Anyway, I just put them on a photo sharing site, so you can look at them, I was not going to post them here, but just wanted to share with anyone, and all of the celeb-nude blogs and site are all PAY, so I thought that I would share them with you all here!
Enjoy, William
third and fourth tapes were the OST’s/scores to the first 2 TMNT films, a Muppets tape (don’t remember which one, exactly), all the WWF Fan Club tapes, and E.T. followed by The Pagemaster & some Power Ranger stuff. Wow. That all takes me back.
my first purchased score was The Crow
also, im gonna use the cue from when the earth is gonna be destroyed for many upcoming projects, specially school projects, for MAXIMUM IMPACT.

Just wondering…
BTW Starship Troopers ISO score is the best version I have ever listened to.
I want to spend my holidays on klendathu :p
Just wondering…
is he posting twice? or posting other soundtracks with different mirrors?
He usually just uploads what other people have released to different mirrors that most people don’t use.
I find it handy since Megaupload can be a real bitch and a half.
Thats why I use Multiupload, keeps them circulating.
On a side note…Starship Trooper’s score is just…gorgeous !
And in DTS-HD Master Audio no less!
Agree 100 percent on that.
I wish that every time a DVD was release they had the score CD in there as well – at least on the Special Editions. I remember buying Jon-Roh and finding the score CD in there. How cool was that? (Same with the Full metal Alchemist movie.) It would be great if companies like Criterion did that at least. What a way to differentiate yourselves in a crowded market? Plus it seems that at a time when movie studios are trying to find new markets – they have an underexploited source of revenue under their noses. Do a marketing campaign – put some $$ into NPR for some Score Shows on the Classics services – inform the public as to what they are missing and then offer it to them 🙂
I fully agree with this !

A.I never really worked for me. Doesn’t touch me on any kind of level, though that might also be because of the way it’s presented on the album. It’s all so bland. I haven’t seen the movie, so that might be intended, but as a work by Williams I find it so so.
Really enjoyed The Mission and The Right Stuff.
Me too! I was so disappointed when Soundtrackzone was shut down!
That you’re ambivalent towards the score?
Just saw your question and thought I might clear this matter up…
"On The Fence" means neither yes or no. Neither. If you’re on the ‘Yes’ side, then you’re on the ‘Yes’ side. If, on the other hand (you have four fingers and a thumb), you are on the other side, then you are on the ‘No’ side. So if you’re on the fence, then you’re neither here nor there. So, no, it doesn’t mean "ambivalent" as such, but more like "I don’t mind it really at all" (i.e. "Yeah, I like it and would choose to listen to it, but it maybe could be better…" kind-of-thing).
😀
Nice idea for a thead, btw Babydoll!
I think the majority of us would agree with that wholeheartedly Lye. 😀

I would agree with these…as for the rest I have seen those films but do not remember the scores.
I found A.I. to be bland as well, but very moody. The big thematic action cues are not there, and it really toned down the film’s mood and score. I have to believe that was an intentional thing, as both the director and composer have proven they can do big bright action.
Pre-orders tomorrow! Available on the 11!!!

Joseph Bishara – Insidious!! ^____^
I collect film music since 1995. I THINK that my first score was the Lion King casette. I still have it; in fact, it’s lying ight in front of me right now. I got it from my mother for birthday because I really liked the Elton John songs from the movie. However, I ended up liking the score portions much more, ironically. However, there still was Jurassic Park lingering in my head from when I watched the movie in 1993. So, when we bought our first CD player, this was my first album to get. I eventually had to buy a new one because I didn’t know how to carefully handle CDs back then. What followed was a mixture of Star Wars, The Rock, Starship Troopers and the Alien series. The last three scores were also cases where I was not satisfied with selection of music provided, so they would eventually lead me to the bootleg and promo scene.
Just listened to the beautiful tracks of
Jerry Goldsmiths Poltergeist (expanded edition)
and the beautiful ones
of John Barry’s Masquerade.
Total goosebumps and they go VERY well together.
Dream away …

I find it strange companies don’t have a closer look on us, i takes a single employee to check us out once a week
and demand removal of about everything. There aren’t THAT many soundtrack sharing sites, companies certainly
go about it halfheartedly. Which makes me believe they simply can afford us sharing.

All this time I had only one soundtrack for each movie because I didn’t think there were any others. Until I came here today and found a treasure trove of unofficial soundtracks, which I have found amazing. I am going to collate all the Bourne soundtracks on this site and figure everything out before the new Bourne movie comes out this year. There are a lot of confusing and conflicting posts about the Bourne soundtrack and I think it needs a good "summary" thread to explain what soundtracks are out there.
I was hoping someone could give a brief summary of Retail vs. Extended vs. Complete soundtracks: Who are they made by? Where do people find these extra scores from? What does Varese Sarabande have to do with it? It seems like they offer the retail soundtracks but those tracks sometimes get mixed into unofficial ones?
———- Post added at 04:21 AM ———- Previous post was at 04:16 AM ———-
Varese Sarabande is the label releasing 2? of the three scores. Unfortunately, they are a banned label here and can’t be posted openly. The extended tracks, and complete scores, are industry leaks. Someone, somewhere, made the albums for personal use, and they got leaked into the on-line community. The two complete scores **should** be just that, complete. I think the expanded score is still missing some. The retail album is just that, the album that was meant to be sold. Often these albums contain smaller cues merges into bigger tracks, or alternate versions of cues, and do not always conform to what was heard in the actual movie.
I cannot be too specific, as I do not have the scores (not my thing), but there shuld be plenty of members here to help with that.

rumours are bouncing around the web that intrada MIGHT (very big MIGHT, folks) be re-releasing bond scores in 2012, which is coincidentlly the 50th anniversary of the first film, dr. no
i know for a fact that this could mean an expanded man with the golden gun score, because lukas kendall himself has said the masters exist, but emi ran out of money for the expansion project in 2003 and that one never got an expanded release
that leaves the following
dr. no – expansion very unlikely as old as the film is, since the masters have likely been lost
from russia with love – same as dr. no
goldfinger – already expanded in 2003
thunderball – already expanded in 2003
you only live twice – already expanded in 2003
on her majesty’s secret service – already expanded in 2003
diamonds – already expanded in 2003
live and let die – already expanded in 2003
tmwtgoldengun – see what i wrote above
the spy who loved me – never expanded; not sure about whether the masters exist
moonraker – masters are supposedly lost forever, but we can always hope and dream some bored billionaire will fund an expedition to uncover them…they are most likely somewhere in france
for your eyes only – already expanded in 2003
octopussy – never expanded; not sure about the masters
a view to a kill – never expanded; i’ve read rumors the tapes were lost, not sure though
living daylights – already expanded in 2003
license to kill – never expanded; somewhat unlikely as mca seems to own the rights to this one, but perhaps mgm and eon can make a deal
goldeneye – never expanded
tomorrow never dies – never expanded; pretty sure most of the score has already been released though
the world is not enough – never expanded
die another day – never expanded
casino royale – never expanded; most of the score has already been made available, except for the film version of title song
quantum – never expanded
again, just a rumor but i’m really really hoping this will happen. with so many other series and films getting scores reissued in recent years, it’s a travesty that a series as well known as bond has seen so few expanded scores.
emi’s (who owns rights to most bond scores) back catalog is of course now owned by UMG, who has worked with intrada before

To everyone… may you have a Happy New Year!
As today kicks the new year off, all of us at Intrada are already knee deep in projects. To be honest, what we have lined up this year is the most ambitious slate we’ve attempted in our 26-year history. Hopefully there will be something for everyone. Look for some pretty sensational releases coming courtesy our partnership with Disney. In fact, projects with virtually every major studio are now under way… including a milestone new series with one of them. Look for classic recordings you thought you’d never see available. More details on that soon! Even something in the Excalibur series. Just loads of releases for you to choose from. I can’t expect you to support them all… but hopefully there are numerous new things coming from us that will tickle your fancy throughout 2012.
And so, with lots of excitement for Intrada ahead, and knowing that numerous other soundtrack labels will be abundant with cool releases… may this new year bring forth musical joy to us all.
Sharing may change into something new (or rather go back to its roots), man, it already happened. There are still a lot of file-hosters available, anyway, only the most famous got "closed".
Ehhm Mediafire is next i hear,i hope you are right i am glad that rapidshare is still standing
John Williams: War horse
John Williams: The adventures of Tintin
Howard Shore: Hugo
Alberto Iglesias: Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy
Ludovic Bource: The Artist.
Only thing I hope is that the oscar doesn’t go to Williams. his scores were very good, but not but not worth an oscar…
my sentiments exactly…
I place my bets on L.Bouce’s THE ARTIST
My favorites in chronological order:
The Artist: very smart, and hey, it’s Max Steiner. Aah sorry, I meant of course Ludovic Bource …
TinTin: the smartest score this year
War Horse: perfect, but a bit too nearby "Far And Away"
Hugo: something strange, so undecided …
Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy: never heard (feel free to send a pm to me)
"I don’t Think Now is the Best Time" by Hans Zimmer from Pirates of the Caribbean 3: At World’s End
"Battling the Green Death" by John Powell from How to Train your Dragon
"Escaping Gotha" By Michael Giacchino in "Medal of Honor: Frontline:
"The Final Game" By Jerry Goldsmith from the soundtrack of Rudy
I couldn’t recommend more highly that everyone who likes this kind of large scale orchestral music should give these a listen! I have listened to each of them so many times it’s not even funny. They’re all at least like 5 minutes as well.
If anyone has heard a few of these tracks and can think of another similar one that I may like, please tell me ASAP! I’m always on the hunt for epic orchestral music like these breathtaking tracks!
I’m also a big fan of the Jurassic Park soundtrack, even though I don’t care as much for John Williams in general, THAT album kicks ass undeniably. I like "The Mummy" quite a bit as well, along with the new Batman soundtracks and Modern Warfare 2’s soundtrack. Oh, and Lord of the Rings I quite like as well. The extended version of the "Khazad Dum" track is incredibly memorable along with "The Battle of the Pelennor Fields" also from the extended release.
Also music from Two Steps from Hell is awesome, don’t know if anyone’s heard that stuff. "To Glory" is my favorite of there’s- pumps me up like nothing else!
I wish that official albums included all the music! I find myself always having to dig around for extended pirated soundtracks- when, I actually would just buy them on itunes if they were truly complete scores. I don’t mind spending some money on them typically for the ease of finding it- but they make me look when they only include half the damn music!
Um, is it better than all of the other contenders? if you think so, than yes it IS worth an Oscar whether its as good as all of his (Williams) other works or not.

Bang…One more award for Ludovic Bource’s "the Artist". I’m a wee bit disappointed for shore, though. his score for Hugo is really interesting.
Definitely the best of the nominated. Dont like the album, but the for your consideration
promo is still fantastic. How old is Mr. Williams? 80 years?
