THIS!!! Gotta go with the blaster beam also. It's just so cool. I really like the "chants" in Mighty Joe Young. I really don't know what to call it because it never seems to change pitch or tone. But I love it's primitive vibe.    Posted:   Jun 30, 2015 - 11:38 PM     By:   Jim Cleveland   (Member) I really like ethereal/ambient electronics layered under orchestral. Synthetic voices. Horner was great at this with apocalyptio, titanic, and the new world. I wish Steve roach or Erik wollo would do a film score. Or at least provide additional music. YOU GOT THAT RIGHT!!! Steve could do some amazing stuff! And Wollo has become one of my new favorites(Silent Currents is a MUST-HAVE!). Also... two bits of trivia.... The scene in TITANIC when Rose is drifting on the headboard and looking at the stars.... that piece of music is from Michael Stearns "concept" album called "Encounters"... they licensed it for use in the film. Also, Stearns WAS the original choice to score THE ABYSS, but the powers-that-be wanted a "name" composer... and that was that!    Posted:   Jun 30, 2015 - 11:51 PM     By:   BTTFFan   (Member) I really like ethereal/ambient electronics layered under orchestral.

Lately I've been addicted to Roach and Wollo's collaboration "The Road Eternal". Blue Radiance is fantastic too. I agree 100% that Encounter by Stearns is a must have! Timeless album. The Titanic cue you're referring to is "The Beacon" off of Encounter, correct? He would have knocked it out of the park if he had a chance at The Abyss. Didn't know he was first choice.    Posted:   Jul 1, 2015 - 1:53 AM     By:   Sigerson Holmes   (Member) The whistling solo in Jarre's "Crossed Swords."    Posted:   Jul 1, 2015 - 3:02 AM     By:   the_limited_edition_2   (Member) You've got a standard orchestral score for a movie, what enhancements or embellishments do you like most that are added to it for additional effect? Extended acoustic(!) percussion. Exotic instruments like shakuhachi, zheng, erhu, whatever. NO ELECTRONIC "ENHANCEMENTS" OF ANY KIND. NO CHOIRS - THEY SHOULD BE FORBIDDEN.    Posted:   Jul 1, 2015 - 3:20 AM     By:   Francis   (Member) Hose-soon in "Predator 2" I was listening to "Predator 2 - complete" yesterday (must have been the hot weather) and this remains one of the most clever and inventive instruments that adds so much to the orchestral score. I will say I like choir, I like synths, I like percussion, I like electric guitars, I like wailing women, ... there isn't an instrument that I don't like in a score, usually it's how it's used that makes me like or dislike it.    Posted:   Jul 1, 2015 - 10:20 AM     By:   joan hue   (Member) If well-done and appropriate, I love the addition of choirs. While this may not fit "Thing's" definition, I love it when a composer overlays a counterpoint melody or riff to his main theme. I.E. Opening of Mr. Roberts. That for me is enhancement.    Posted:   Jul 1, 2015 - 12:25 PM     By:   Sir David of Garland   (Member) While this may not fit "Thing's" definition, I love it when a composer overlays a counterpoint melody... Check out "Whistling Away the Dark" in DARLING LILI, Joan. When Andrews stops singing and the melody repeats instrumentally, there's a wonderful countermelody in the celli that is simply transporting.    Posted:   Jul 1, 2015 - 12:27 PM     By:   Sir David of Garland   (Member) You've got a standard orchestral score for a movie, what enhancements or embellishments do you like most that are added to it for additional effect?
