We will not erase my favorite Goldsmith score from existence, even if it's only being done hypothetically!    Posted:   Aug 28, 2020 - 7:20 AM     By:   Dr. Nigel Channing   (Member) Islam’s score has been released. Looking forward to opinions of the Bill and Ted crowd.    Posted:   Aug 28, 2020 - 9:38 AM     By:   Deadwalker   (Member) Islam’s score has been released. Looking forward to opinions of the Bill and Ted crowd. Released where?    Posted:   Aug 28, 2020 - 10:01 AM     By:   Timothy J. Phlaps   (Member) Islam’s score has been released. Looking forward to opinions of the Bill and Ted crowd. Released where? Digital download and streaming. I listened to it earlier (in bits and peices as I'm at work). It's a good score, in the same vein as Newman's work, although BOGUS JOURNEY is still head and shoulders above the others for me. Might warm to it a bit more once I can listen to it uninterrupted. The film's not out here until September 28th, and it's theatrical only, so I'll probably be waiting till it hits blu-ray.    Posted:   Aug 28, 2020 - 10:57 AM     By:   spook   (Member) Islam’s score has been released.

I had a quick listen earlier as Im a huge Mark Isham fan and celebrate every new release. Not too sure on the first run. The music is good but is it a weird retro synth sound he’s using on this? To be honest it might be my crappy streaming connection at the time . Looking forward to another listen.    Posted:   Aug 28, 2020 - 11:58 AM     By:   Deadwalker   (Member) Islam’s score has been released. Looking forward to opinions of the Bill and Ted crowd.

It's on demand for me as of today.    Posted:   Aug 28, 2020 - 1:00 PM     By:   John Mullin   (Member) The score is available on HD Tracks. I'm not sure where else Bill & Ted Face the Music (Original Motion Picture Score) https://www.hdtracks.com/?utm_source=iContact&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=!HDtracks%20Newsletters&utm_content=#/album/5f3d3d333696d329ded18190 It runs 34 minutes.    Posted:   Aug 28, 2020 - 1:08 PM     By:   Hurdy Gurdy   (Member) It's on Spotify and yes, it does sound like sample based orchestra!! Not sure what the music budget was, but it's similar to the stuff Isham did on Once Upon A Time TV series. A million miles away from the broad, symphonic strokes David Newman did on the first two. Bogus    Posted:   Aug 28, 2020 - 1:56 PM     By:   DS   (Member) I listened to a few tracks, and it sounds like Isham followed a modern indie/streaming series temp track, with bygone synths lending some cues the requisite "80s synth" vibe that today's directors/producers/editors can't seem to get enough of. So it goes. I'm assuming the film - which I haven't seen yet - is more dependent on songs than score.    Posted:   Aug 29, 2020 - 10:21 AM     By:   Dr. Nigel Channing   (Member) I listened to most of it, and sad to say I agree with Kev. I won't be returning to it.    Posted:   Aug 30, 2020 - 9:25 AM     By:   spook   (Member) Yeah..had another go at this and although I think the man’s a legend I’m not loving his approach on this one.. It just seems to sound kinda ‘cheap’ . He’s better than this. Pretty disappointed. Might be great in the film though. Definitely agree that David Newman should have been brought back though.    Posted:   Oct 5, 2020 - 10:42 AM     By:   Hurdy Gurdy   (Member) Saw my first film in a cinema since March today and this was it. Completely empty. Had the whole gaff to myself (although I've seen other mid afternoon showing films on my own, pre-Covid). I loved the first two films for the goofy silliness that they were. Cool scores too. This is just terrible though. I mean, really bad. It's just too little too late and too much time has passed for it to succeed. Everyone and everything just looks stale and naff. I don't think I laughed once either. Isham's score is okay in parts, but mixed very low and almost imperceptible at times. Maybe David Newman was lucky he dodged this one?    Posted:   Oct 5, 2020 - 3:33 PM     By:   spook   (Member) Judging by the news, looks like that might be your last cinema trip for a loooong time Kev! Still haven’t warmed that much to the score. I’ve just been playing earlier Isham instead. As for the film, like you I loved the first two but I just can’t bring myself to watch this. The pics I’ve seen look...wrong! They just look too old in it but if that’s the story I guess it might work. One day I’ll give it a go and hope to surprise myself.    Posted:   Oct 5, 2020 - 5:20 PM     By:   SBD   (Member) I went to see the film at the drive-in. Never really felt necessary, but it was still a good deal of fun. Isham's score was...there. Not good, not bad and not terribly memorable. On the drive back home, I listened to Newman's Bogus Journey and my God, it really spoke to what he brought to the first two movies. Some wonderfully colorful music throughout and themes? Hell yeah. The motif for the evil robots was especially inspired.    Posted:   Oct 5, 2020 - 9:42 PM     By:   Shaun Rutherford   (Member) Saw my first film in a cinema since March today and this was it.

Such a huge letdown, and yet critics like it??    Posted:   Nov 13, 2020 - 5:45 AM     By:   Hurdy Gurdy   (Member) Score CD available... In Japan!    Posted:   Nov 13, 2020 - 7:25 AM     By:   spook   (Member) Score CD available... In Japan! Just saw that.... Didn't love it as much as I'd hoped but as an Isham completist I'm fumbling for my credit card!    Posted:   Dec 5, 2020 - 12:05 PM     By:   Justin Boggan   (Member) What a HUGE disappointment. The score goes nowhere. Nothing is memorable. There are brief fluttering moments of something, but then it goes away as fast as it arrives. Generic, uninspiring, boring, a waste of time. Considering the fantastic two scores that proceeded it by David Newman, this score just pisses me off. Yes, the film is apparently bad, but composers have written good scores for bad films before and I'd rather Newman had done this and let one of his orchestrators handle "Green Eggs & Ham"     General Discussion: BILL & TED FACE THE MUSIC (Mark Isham)    << < 1 2 3  >   Go to page:  1 2 3   First Post    General Discussion • Trading Post • Non-Film Score Discussion  Profile • Preferences • Community Rules • Help/Contact • Search Board You must log in or register to post.   Go to page:  1 2 3
