Hey its a phenomenal soundtrack. I made a custom cover, I wish I knew how to put it up here for some input from you guys :)

Great Movie!

It was good. Expected slightly more, but it was good.

Just saw Patriots Day.

Saturday Night Live 42x12, "Aziz Ansari / Big Sean"

Great example of a damn fine action cue (https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B18GQkZXWsEVdW9rX1VLei1mN00), from Dragon Quest V

Watched Split. M. Knight has gotten much of his Sixth Sense, Unbreakable mojo back. McAvoy is amazing, as is Taylor-Joy and Buckley.

And if you see it, don't leave when the end title card appears. Wait. You'll be glad you did.

I remember walking out of The Avengers a bit too early as I later found out there was a pretty funny scene at the very end. So I haven't made that mistake since, you never know. :p

The Avengers post-credits scene was the worst.

Anybody else getting this when attempting to read any PM?

Yes, it's a site-wide problem for everyone.

That's creepy.

Holy shit, listening to it now; 3:35 and on of this track is so fucking awesome.

And if you see it, don't leave when the end title card appears. Wait. You'll be glad you did.

Last movie of his I paid to see was The Last Airbender, and this was AFTER I paid to see The Happening. Haven't seen a single film of his since. I want to see it, but I'm trying not to repeat mistakes I've made in the past. Should I go in with caution?

I know what you mean. Sixth Sense & Unbreakable are his two best films because Knight plays fair: he asks for one "gimme" in both films: gimme a boy who sees the dead, gimme a man who's unbreakable and he plays fair with the audience.

But after those two it becomes harder to generate the twist ending because now the explanations become more implausible. In The Village the explanation of how a 16th century colonial settlement exists in the 20th century requires a five minute long explanation delivered by Knight. (An explanation that falls apart the moment you subject it to rational thought.)

Signs demands you believe an alien race - intelligent enough to master space travel - who has a toxic reaction to water invades a planet that's 75% water and abducts children. Head scratching considering the human body is mostly water. Again, you think about that and all sorts of logical problems appear. (Like rain, humidity, etc . . .)

Knight started asking for too many "gimmes" to the point of requiring the audience to self-lobotomize.

That's when I gave up on Knight. (I caught The Happening - awful title, sounds like a documentary about 60's hippies - on cable and realized it was about killer trees. Yeah, I just wrote that. The only thing more ludicrous was casting Marky Mark as a science teacher.)

But Split is good. It's a monster movie, make no mistake, but well done. And it asks for one "gimme:" a man suffering from DID - dissociative identity disorder - and takes it to the nth degree. Like in Unbreakable: brittle bone disease exists but no one's bones are unbreakable. That's why movies are filed under the title of "fiction."

McAvoy is perfect. He gives each alter his/her own way of speaking, gestures, and body language. He is completely convincing. Taylor-Joy proves that her acting in The Witch was no fluke. You can see the thinking going on through her eyes. And Buckley, who plays McAvoy's doctor, is on point as the one person who cares about Kevin (McAvoy.)

Split is Knight getting his groove back. Maybe working with smaller budgets has pushed him and his creativity. While Split doesn't hit all the notes Sixth Sense & Unbreakable did, it comes close. (And while I like the conceit and execution of Unbreakable it was a bit of a slog through the swamps of dour. Knight later said if he could change one thing, he'd have injected more humor, albeit dark humor, into the script.)

Will you like it? If you like monster movies or movies with a psychological bent, I think you will.

And wait for the credits to roll. You might just do a fist pump.

Oh man, that is the shit.

Yeah, and a little like Bitches Brew, but with much more activity.

Downloaded a number of albums that came out last week that seemed definitely worth checking out. They piqued my pin-trist.

He he he...

Listening to a lot of Hector Berlioz works, especially Symphonie Fantastique and Requiem. Love the ones conducted by Colin Davis in the '70s.

APE ESCAPE! - Caddicarus

Watching.. my dog go crazy when I toss treats across the room.

and watching.. Wicked Little Things

This is one of my favorite pieces of music John Williams has ever written. Underrated as all hell, too, as I've never once seen any soul speak of this masterpiece of a composition.

2:55 - 3:37 is probably the best part (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1DbWkfxDZSQ&feature=youtu.be&t=2m55s), and within that section, 3:15 to that end is transcendent.

()

Made an attempt to assemble a playlist of music from my library that share the same similar 'stirring' qualities, and tried my best to arrange the order for the best flow of listening. It's prevailed, seemingly, it does and feels like what I intended for the most part

The New Celebrity Apprentice 1x03, "Candy for A Billionaire"

()

God I love this music so much.

Man Seeking Woman 3x01, "Futon"

This cue (https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B18GQkZXWsEVSVpaYVh1LUo1OVE), from The End of Evangelion, which I just listened to, and still am at the moment....so, this was one of those instances where the certain section of the piece just hit me very hard, and it was like I felt this force and then tears abruptly came to my eyes. No, not like dripping down my face, like when you actually cry. But from this expressive piece, and from the way I was unexpectedly met with the feeling, it really shows the profound effect and deep grasp music can have on a person. This cue in particular especially has that really eloquent way of making an intense emotional connection with me. Since no one of us are the same, I can't really say if the same could be felt by another, but this is immense.

Also, not trying to sound like a crazy person; it's just that certain music transcends heaven and earth and when you feel it, it's difficult to put it with words, without sounding like you're pretentious or something.

(the section I meant is most particularly 1:13 - 1:36; and 1:15 - 1:18 and 1:26 - 1:29 even more particularly, and the violin's inflection and accent in this case makes a great difference in it's evocative quality)

It's a�pleasant enough score. Certainly more rewarding than the movie itself which became quite insufferable by the end.

I've read good things spoken by those nice folk over at the orchestral action music thread, I should probably check out the score for myself.

"Merker's Salt Mine" - Michael Giacchino / Medal of Honor (Original Soundtrack)

First "hearing" of GOTG2 score.

George, you have the best VGM trax! :)

(https://imgur.com/IDvpJsX)

:laugh: I got 2001: A Space Odyssey playing in the background.

It's at the very start with the apes.

It's hilarious, it looks like the apes are moshing to the music.

Although, it's nothing like playing the ubiquitous Pink Floyd album to it.
I would look for a copy on youtube where someone synced the album, but I watched the first half of the Wizard of Oz and turned it off.

Great idea, but could use a lot more heavier editing. When the album repeats, it goes downhill.

For 2001 plus oldschool metal would require a lot of planning, some editing and a lot of different music.
Not just soundtracks, but do it oldschool QT style and play random old, non-mainstream stuff.

Definitely avoid the most overused commercial songs.

Finishing Radiohead's Kid A. Boy, was this a fantastic album to re-visit.

Wataru Hokojama's AFRIKA

It's such a pity it's SO short for how good it is.

That's another one of the best and most competent orchestral video game scores I've heard. Yes, it's rather short, but nothing short of amazing. ;)

Listening to the Transformers: The MOVIE ost.

I still haven't watched the OAR version in 4:3 yet.
I remember the VHS days. Loved the movie. but had a 4:3 TV so never knew the difference.

Now it's remastered and in OAR, along with the widescreen version.

I'll have to really dig it up to watch it. So in the meantime, it's Vince DiCola and Stan Bush all day.

The Last Guardian's soundtrack by Takeshi Furukawa...

Wow. First listen ever, and it's better than I thought it would be. I had the impression that this score/soundtrack would be very minimalist, chamber-like, to go with the very artistic style of the game, that it'd be pretty much just ambient sound, but.. I come to find a very Hollywoodesque movie score, much to my like, because you guys I know love these. This soundtrack has the best of "that style".. impressive melodies that are beautiful to hear, but also give ambient to the game, with lots of catchy orchestra action of the type I like, almost symphonic. Some tracks can sound repetitive, because I think they were composed to be looped with the gameplay (which is not bad) but.. wow, really impressive.. I have a sudden urge to get now.. colour me impressed.

The Last Guardian's soundtrack by Takeshi Furukawa...

Fuck now I'm interested in this
But I have such a huge backlog of music I need to listen to already. Must resist...

Bear in mind I'm horrible to explain myself and to describe, meaning I may be describing it greater than it probably is, it's just my opinion what I'm describing and how I see it. Who knows, you may actually dislike it? I know a few who don't think it's anything great. But seriously I'm loving it so much and I'm just halfway the album. God I've never had a MASSIVE need to buy an album on the first listen as this one.

Currently listening to a Zimmer classic - Rain Man!

Hooooooooooooooooooly shit. I'm loving this score so much. IT LITERALLY HAS GOT EVERYTHING I LOVE ABOUT THIS KIND OF MUSIC!!

Has a gamerip been done? Or rather, has a properly tagged gamerip been done?
Or is there a OST that has everything on it?

No gamerip yet, but soundtrack is out - the most full one is the Japanese one. It has been shared here by Hikaru, and is the one I'm listening to.

Thread 213229

It's got a very nice Thomas Newman feel (or rather edge) to it, from what I remember; I haven't really devoted much of my time to it, but Ponyo's right - it's a great score.

I'm so in love with it you guys have no idea. Well, you do, I've said it 3 times already. :laugh:

I am keeping myself not to get the CD - because it's 40 euros and I don't have the economy, and it's a few days of waiting due to import - but.. holy mother of music.

I wanna say, this is how I personally feel about this score, I know lots of others who feel this is nothing new and special.. and I could agree with them, but I love it so much.

New Brian Tyler finally.

Oh, come one, ManRay. You're well-educated in just as many of the areas of VGM that I am not. :p

Bounty Hunters (Star Wars Headspace) - R�yksopp

SouthLAnd 1x07, "Derailed"

I loved this show so much. One of the biggest disappointments ever was when TNT gave it the axe after the cliffhanger season 4 finale :'(

One of my favorite classical pieces ever.
I'm playing that Symphony in our upcoming concert next month.

I'm playing that Symphony in our upcoming concert next month.

That's great! I love it so much. Again, the final movement is my favorite.

So how long did it take you to assemble and refine this mix?

A year, but that's including the months I took off and didn't work on it. If I had continued through with it after I started in January of 2016, I probably could've had it done in a month or two. The main reason I stopped and nearly quit on it was cause of 2 custom cues that we'll never have. It was depressing.

You're a SouthLAnd fan as well?

Fuckin' A. :)

That ending. John Cooper deserved far better.

You're a SouthLAnd fan as well?

Fuckin' A. :)

That ending. John Cooper deserved far better.

When they both aired, it was tied with Fringe as my favorite TV a show.

Yeah Cooper deserved better, but in an interview Michael Cudlitz said he wasn't dead.

Since the show is, in essence he is. That's how I accepted that.

Television has become such a competition with feature films that it is really the go-to for acclaimed entertainment.

Yet I cannot bring myself to sit and watch anything current. I'll just sit and re-watch SouthLAnd, or Fresh Prince of Bel-Air, or my all-time favorite show ANGEL.

I'll revisit The O.C. or Ugly Betty or Star Trek: Deep Space Nine rather than try out Breaking Bad or Game of Thrones. I prefer not-quite-current stuff I suppose...but just watched a recent film called The Edge of Seventeen which was a great movie. Another good recent movie, The Accountant could easily be an alternate Ben Affleck Batman movie.

That movie was fucking awesome. I've been vocal about how much I dislike Affleck, but he was great in the role. The movie isn't what I was expecting (due to marketing), and exceeded my expectations.

Apollo.rip . There is also other 2017 remixes i downloaded. Its really good, wanted to buy the OverClocked one but can't afford it and anyway, i need a paysafecard for this

It is available on Steam/Bandcamp (and Overclocked website for the OC remix, cost 10$usd)

Sweet, bought them both.

Got a List ?

I got decent Stuff to offer in Return.

Other stuff are available on Apollo/PTH/Rutracker. (4-5 albums)

I don't care about trading lol ... i'm just gonna share them there soon as always

Yeah, it was just a thought... :laugh:

Hmmm, A_Rival ? So it's the Steam Versions since it's not on his Bandcamp yet. Is it any good ?

FamilyJules is nice and all, but his Stuff starts to get on my Nerves after about 10 Minutes lmao.

Didn't even finished to listening to OC version lol ...

And yeah, on the info files it mentionned that some albums aren't available yet on Bandcamp. All of them are Steam release

It's not a Marvel film so you don't have to wait until the credits end. Just stay for the scene after the end title card.

Just finishing up on the Lethal Weapon movies now that Christmas is over.

I take back that the franchise isn't that good.

Only the first one is really boring.

Adding Joe Pesci in part 2 was the best thing they did.
And to keep that dynamic, they added Rene Russo in part 3.
Part 4 is just a nice wrap up of the entire franchise.

Pesci's character of Froggy at the end... :sad: Really gets me in the feels.
And then what Gibson's character says about Pesci's character to his (Gibson's character's) dead wife... "You sure picked a strange angel"...
I cried pretty hard in theaters. Not vocally, but I had to put my popcorn down.

Hands down, Lethal Weapon 4 has the best end credits.

I forgot how great Pesci was in these movies.
I'd say it was his best role.
He was good with Scorsese in the mafia movies, but they're all the same.

I went wide-eyed, my jaw dropped and my arm slowly lowered from my chin which was resting on it. And I said the words "oh my God". I'd love to have been able to see my own reaction.

When I heard and read that there was a "major twist" at the end I almost didn't go because starting with the The Village the twists got more and more ridiculous. But I'm glad I went.

Knight's working on the sequel, so two to three years down the road. Looks like working with smaller budgets and with Blumhouse have benefitted Knight.

Seriously though, Nintendo, give me this piece of music in HD right now. I'll pay whatever. It's a pity this, like the other main Zelda games, is probably only for the trailer but if the game was fully scored by a live orchestra that'd be fucking neat.

The 2017 reboot. (I shouldn't say that out loud. Hollywood might actually try it. They've rebooted everything but Green Acres & Gilligan's Island. In IMAX, the way they were meant to be seen!)

Even if Cronenberg was attached to it, I don't think it'd hold up.
There'd be way too much studio interference for such a classy sci-fi movie.
Studios would want to maximize special effects and make it RealD 3D.

And they'd sign off with a planned trilogy.

Horror genres get the shit end of the stick for studio interferences and contracts.

Texas Chainsaw was taken over by some other studio that signed off on a trilogy contract but hasn't delivered since the 3D movie which was horrible but honestly no different than the Michael Bay produced remakes/re-imagining.

I heard whispers of a Dune reboot. :sigh:
The only thing I'll look forward to is the special effects.
That's one property that has too much details for any medium to encapsulate.

The David Lynch movie was fun.
The two TV mini-series were fun.
The games were especially fun (Emperor: Battle for Dune my favorite).

If anything, they should remake the Emperor game. Put it on today's engines and it'll be a successful RTS.
Go for the Age of Wonders board strategy and it'll do just as good.
Even an RPG might be adventurous (yet short lived with small replay value).
The only thing to ruin it is making it a FPS/MP game.

Ariana Grande, John Legend - Beauty and the Beast (From "Beauty and the Beast"/Audio Only)

Voices are good, arrangement is pretty basic, almost karaoke-ish. Since the movie is in such a big promotion, they should've put a real orchestra with it, at least.

Ponyo, it sounds VERY karaoke-ish. Like it's a legit karaoke arrangement. I'm very disappointed.

Industrial Revolutions - Jean-Michel Jarre

Probably the most impressive piece on the album. Shame the rest is rather mediocre, even with the other Revolutions track being fun.

Rizzoli & Isles, Season 5, Episode 13

Might watch Billy Flynn's Long Walk later tonight.

The blurays will only be in 23.976 fps.

Maybe, MAYBE, the UHD-BD's will be in 59.94 fps.

120/3D is a gimmick and won't ever reach home media.

Passengers. The only worthwhile scene…



Otherwise, it's as trite and pointless as any $110 million dollar budgeted episode of "Love Connection" could possibly be.

Newman's award consideration utterly baffles me.

Actually This Is My MusicBee.
And Yes Very Much, Already Burned to CD :D

Ahh yes, I see the different font now. I was still asleep when I typed that up.

First time actually listening to the score, and I absolutely love it so far. And I literally cannot wait for the 3rd one. The series are two such fun and engaging movies, and always piqued my interest,

Cannot wait for bluray to Passengers...

The OST is all suites, you need the complete:



And yes there are slates, but only for the last 17 cues for some reason. Bugs the shit out of me.

Yeah. I always tend to get the official release first, then the complete/sessions. Since they seem to be readily available here, I was about to grab 'em.

Going to see The Space Between Us.

I haven't heard many good things about that one. :erm: Hope you enjoy it tho'.

Back to iTunes?

No Still MusicBee.

Well it makes for a convincing iTunes ripoff! :-P I guess you changed the MusicBee layout, it looked very different earlier.

The Albums In The Library Open Up Like This Anyway. I Just Posted The "Now Playing Tab or The Library With Side Bar.[COLOR="Silver"]

Delightfully Satanic.

If Fulci had composed as well as directed, this is what it would sound like, only turned up to fricckin' 11 !!

Damn, someone who knows Fulci. Outstanding. Is this a Bandcamp album?

Artwork reminds me of William Blake, one of my favorite artists/poets.

Gotta know Fulci. He's the one who turned all the Kids violent during the Video Nasties Craze here in Germany and over in England ! :p

Yes Sir, they sure are Bandcamp Albums, released under the Blood Music Label. Best Part ? They're all "Name your own Price"

Here you go :

Fair Warning, 'tho : Don't expect GosT to take any Mercy on your Ears whatsoever... :laugh:

Me personally ? Fucking love it, makes me feel like a Bad Ass Motherfucker when i walk down the Street. Awesome Stuff !

Germany went through the "Video Nasties" nonsense too? I thought it was only the UK. While we in the US endured the "Satanic Panic."

Not in the same Vein exactly, everything comes over the Pond 3 to 5 Years later, sometimes more.

But the German Authorities are especially triggerhappy when it comes to Violence,
only Countries worse are Australia and Brazil.

Only Upside is that we can have all the Nudity we want, noone gives a flying Hoot about that over here,
it's Situation Reversia with the States, can't let those Christian Values get besmirched ! :laugh:

My Fav Horner Score.

Artwork reminds me of William Blake, one of my favorite artists/poets.

Reminds me of Meat Loaf's Bat Out of Hell II, which I vividly remember seeing when I was younger. It was also played frequently by mom.




That's my favorite cue :D

Mine Aswell.

Still can not get over how awesome that Club-Scene was,
bring on the Wick 2 !!

I'm finally watching
"The Founder"! :)

(https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Founder_(film))

I'm watching DT make a fool of himself and a mockery of the POTUS job title.

And think, we have four more years of the Trump Reality Show.

Any bets on how long it takes for him to get us into a war?

I haven't heard many good things about that one. :erm: Hope you enjoy it tho'.
I saw Lion before it. That was much better than The Space Between Us. It was just way too cheesy for me, and I didn't really enjoy it at all. The plot didn't really make sense either.

Lion is definitely worth seeing. Seems like an underrated film, for sure.

Crazy how both films tried to tell a story about how a child tries his entire life to search for his family/parents. Just, The Space Between Us had a lot of bullcrap piled on top of itself. If it refrained from some of the cheesy things they said in the film, and with better screen writing, I think it would have been a very good film.

I can't listen to music on my computer. Tried to years ago, but always fell back to either headphones and my iPod or playing on my home theater system.

Watching the 4K remaster to Michael Mann's "Heat" (1995).
So far, the Japan distribution is much better. Some noticable banding in some scenes for the remaster. :/
It's like they remastered it, but screwed up encoding to AVC for bluray and lost all the remastering details.

The pathetically low dialogue level is what's really of concern for most, myself included. Is there any improvement to that?

Who remastered it? Warner or a third party?

Doesn't seem so much.
Low dialogue is a sign of high dynamic range. Filmmakers generally don't want to alter that.

I remember there being vast differences for this movie.

But with Windows 10 drivers, the "Loudness Equalization" is fixed compared to earlier OS'es.
I get better dialogue compression that way while still having loud badda boom for the bank robbery scene. :D

It was supervised by Michael Mann himself.

It's not nearly as bad as that time Scorsese remastered Goodfellas and crushed all the black details.

But, overall, I'd stick to the transfer from Japan.

Lucky timing on the beats. Nicely done. With spoilers, but at this point, if you haven't kept up with the MCU, it doesn't matter. :laugh:

Watching Corner Gas from season 1. :laugh: If they said "eh" a lot, it'd be the most Canadian show ever.

Not quite as good as Don Davis, but still very nice.

Listening to the End Credits Suite of DuckTales The Movie by David Newman

If this is Intrada's Feb 7th release oh god.. it's one of my many most-wanted wished scores.

The general consensus with this film, like many of Mann's films is that Mann himself is borderline deaf and his films all suffer from dialogue that is buried in the sound mix. Many have hoped this new release would fix it. It's not the whole film, mainly little moments like the post-robbery of the armored truck scene with McCauley and Nate. Also, while it's never been a major thing like the revisions to Star Wars, the fact that two missing lines from the previous release had people hoping at least the second of them would be restored.

The line "You sift through the detritus..." was removed, and the funnier line "Ferocious, aren't I?"

Super Bowl LI

My Falcons are killing it




:shock:

Where did that come from?!?!

Amanda posted it like yeeaars ago

:this: aswell as season 2.

Currently:

Not the SuperBowl.

Not the SuperBowl.

Just the commercials.
ProRes. So no logos, no half-time commercials, pure quality and no crappy HDTV macroblocking for poor cable companies with no bandwidth.

I don't get how they can call "HDTV" high def at all.
It looks like youtube videos that were uploaded, downloaded and then uploaded again (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=icruGcSsPp0).

Where might one find the trailers in ProRes?
I'd be interested in nabbing the Zelda spot in that format.
Unless you're talking about only movie spots, from certain press sites.

Unless you're talking about only movie spots, from certain press sites.

Just that.

I've given up entirely caring about anything else.

The best you'll ever find is garbage youtube compression.

Until gigabit speeds are cheaper and available to the entire world in every neighborhood, we'll never see improvements for youtube.
Or streaming media for that matter.

I swear, YouTube compresses a lot worse than they used to five or six years ago.

I swear, YouTube compresses a lot worse than they used to five or six years ago.

Because they have to cater to ancient areas that haven't upgraded yet.

Most businesses find the best praise from catering to the lowest common denominator.

Even in first world countries in major cities, a lot of neighborhoods can't achieve high speed internet from one of the major competitors.
The neigborhood my friends live in is a nice community neighborhood. But they can only get something like 15Mbps download.
Their settings for Netflix and Plex have to be lowered.

For any youtube watching, they use their mobiles or tablets.
Which is also another leading factor for compression. Shit devices for playback.
You don't even need color for a mobile device. :laugh:

Another factor?
Garbage media devices other than mobile.
TV's are shyte and meant only to display whatever is hooked up to them.
IE, DVD or BD player.
Not internet for cheap apps or externals through the garbage USB port on the TV player which requires FAT32 thus limiting your quality.
Hint: Plug the USB external into a bluray player or equivalent that can read externals and play with that. Full remux quality. NTFS file system. :smrt:
TV's are made cheap but sold overpriced for stupid people with needless needs.
Easy money.

More factors?
Bugged web browsers.
Chrome is decent and requires less work.
Firefox is always in development for the perfect steaming platform.
So many options in advanced settings you can do that will literally ruin your whole day trying to get something to work.
Sure, Adobe Flash is the easiest. Or Silverlight.
But native H264/AVC support? It's possible. But requires days of research, a competitent reader, and a lot of hacking.

So, Google made things easier and dumbed it all down for the right audience: a dumb one. :smrt:
