Alan Silvestri wrote no music for Star Trek. Jerry Goldsmith did. And James Horner. And also Leonard Rosenman, Cliff Eidelman and Dennis McCarthy. Jerry Goldsmith used a lot of weird digital sounds and I don't really like that all that much, but his orchestral moments are brilliant (<i>The Enterprise!</i> <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/piratesing.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":shock" border="0" alt="piratesing.gif" /> ). And in the case of science-fiction movies like Star Trek, I don't mind computer-sounds that much.

Sorry about the Alan Silvestri, i was looking at a different name when i wrote that. Sorry <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":)" border="0" alt="smile.gif" />

Especially the low male choir in <i>Hello Beastie</i> reminds me very strongly of Crimson Tide and The Rock, which is not an appropriate association whatsoever. I don't mind if music sounds similar to something else, but then it should sound similar to something that is also appropriate. People have complained that Cutthroat Island sounds similar to the pirate scores of old, but I don't mind. Yes, it's in the same style, but it's still better than any of the previous ones. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/icon_mrgreen1.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":cheeky" border="0" alt="icon_mrgreen1.gif" /><!--QuoteEnd--></div><!--QuoteEEnd-->
I seem to recall Zimmer composing music for a recent movie .......dang...brainfart i cant think of it, but i could almost hear the undertone of AWE in it. Just little flashes of it. Every composer has a style of composition, and his still carried the undertone of AWE in it. (Or the other way around).

As a matter of fact it would, just sound a little...retarded.
 
I am inclined to agree with Morgan about the hit or miss. I am not a fan of the Kraken or the music of the dutchman surfacing, or the music of his sailors attacking.
 
Eh? what about 'Davy Jones Playing His Organ' music? The one in DMC's Dutchman's storm scene? <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/type_1.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":nk" border="0" alt="type_1.gif" /> <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/piratesing.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":shock" border="0" alt="piratesing.gif" /> <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/danse1.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":dance" border="0" alt="danse1.gif" />

Most likely true. But if one is wanting to be truly orginal, one needs to try things that appear retarded, right? Such as hard rock in a pirate film. Hum. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/urgh.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":urgh" border="0" alt="urgh.gif" />

What about that other music I posted, eh? <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/w00t.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":woot" border="0" alt="w00t.gif" />
 
I don't know if it has been mentioned, but has anyone noticed that the part where beckett signals the dutchman for 'no quarter' up to the part where sparrow takes the chest under mulroy and murtogg noses again, there is no music for that section on the soundtrack, and thats like the best of the film

i dont suppose anyone has heard of anywhere its available?
 
I think all the music that IS available is in those files in the first post of this thread. You could get that music by doing a DVD rip, but it'd have sound effects in there.
 
i've listened to the van helsing music, and i actually don't really like that one, although it has it's good bits.

the FTP started working again after i posted, so nevermind.
 
I've got the (almost) complete Van Helsing. It has some nice stuff not on the original soundtrack. You should try The Mummy Returns. Definitly worth a listen. Especially in it's officially unavailable complete form. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/whistling.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":wp" border="0" alt="whistling.gif" />
 
i could never download something like that at the moment, i think. still, i'll have a search for it anyway.
 
yeah. by the way, i think i've got some music you'd like. i'll see if i can put it on the FTP. it'll be in my music folder, in the ANNO 1503 subdirectory. it will take some time to upload them though.
 
Thanks. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/doff.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":doff" border="0" alt="doff.gif" />
 
i'm uploading the last one right now. they're not made by some musical genius, but they're fun nonetheless.
 
I've got plenty of music that is not written by a "musical genius", but is fun nonetheless. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/me.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":onya" border="0" alt="me.gif" />
 
it's from, as you might have already guessed, ANNO 1503. i always thought it was kinda fun.
 
I guessed that. Downloading right now.

So does anyone have any thoughts on those music tracks I posted? Mercer? <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/rolleyes.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":rolleyes:" border="0" alt="rolleyes.gif" />
