Bingowings: Death Star destruct music from ANH turning up.
I never noticed that and i've seen it hundreds of times!
I recognise the similarity with the wrath of khan score, but i just put it down to Horners style during that time. I remember watching braveheart and liked the score, i would never have guessed it was Horner untill i saw his name in the credits. I miss the kind of stuff he did for Star Trek and Aliens - nowadays his music doesnt seem to stand out, almost as if he's made it more commercial sounding.
Where as i can always identify Hans Zimmer's stuff.
Good thread Monroville! For years Aliens was the only movie from the series i could stand to watch, and the Pulse rifles dont sound wimpy! they sound like Pulse rifles! just wouldnt be the same any other way :p
Anyway, but recently - maybe because im getting older... i dont know, I like less action orientated movies now, the slower pace and claustrophic type atmosphere of alien and Ridley Scott's functional/artistic (if thats the term) style used. I just downloaded Alien Appendix 2 cos its like supposed to be the longest version and I'll get a pizza or something this evening and watch it in the dark! :P
(ooh yeah! do i know how to have fun or what! lol )
Bingowings you're just a human (?) encyclopedia on everything Alien related, can you recommend a good making of book?
