Such a thing happened while listening to this score. First introduced in track 3 Lila, (although it's introduced right off the bat in the Alternate Main Title, found in the bonus section of the CD), it's a short little piano (and other times banjo/guitar) riff that gets me smiling every time! I Just Love It! The rest of the score is loads of fun too. Quirky, off-beat, easy-going and always musically thematic, varied and interesting. Typical Bill Conti. Great stuff.    Posted:   Jun 23, 2020 - 10:43 AM     By:   Hurdy Gurdy   (Member) So... yeah... I wasn't going to buy this, especially based on the samples that first went up (never judge a score by its samples). But I saw the positive comments from other FSMers and I do tend to like Bill Conti film scores, especially orchestral and ones from the 70s or 80s. This is a real fun time. It's a mixed bag, with lots of different quirky styles. Dixieland jazz, quiet piano tender stuff, Rocky style brassy rhythmic/orchestral explosions, funk/disco and 70s detective suspense and snooping around stuff. But it all hangs together really well, due to Conti's impressive sense of drama and pacing. There's just over 30 minutes of the score proper, then 20 minutes of bonus material, that plays like a neat alternative score presentation. Anyway, it's really great stuff, if you don't mind more off-beat styled scoring. Hey henry, are you okay?    Posted:   Jun 23, 2020 - 2:43 PM     By:   GoblinScore   (Member) Damn you MacCready!!!! This was a watermelon to me....till the above post. Two of my fave 'gonzo' albums sprung to mind - Doyle's Exit To Eden & Isham's Cool World. Got a notion this is borne of the same playground....adios $20!!!    Posted:   Jun 23, 2020 - 4:26 PM     By:   henry   (Member) So... yeah...

Hi Kev, I'm okay!Yes, I love this score too, it's easy on the ears.     General Discussion: The Big Fix (Varese Sarabande)    << < 2 3 4  >   Go to page:  1 2 3 4   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 4
