-- favorite ost pieces?

favorite ost pieces?

nothing obscoure on my end, just some hans and vangelis.

SHould have won the Oscar that year....instead we John Williams got it for ET




Alan Silvestri has provided some great OST....but this might be his most underrated score




Ennio Morricone...He is arguably the greatest film composer to ever live

that conan piece is quite nice. cd is climbing in price.

I think this is the first time I've ever seconded a Scoops recommendation, and two at once.

The score to Conan The Barbarian is incredible. When I was a teenager I used to walk around listening to that CD on my Walkman like it was an album. I tried ripping the CD recently, but my shitty USB CD drive wasn't reading it properly. I hope that doesn't mean there's something wrong with the disc, because the damn thing isn't on Spotify.

Basil Poledouris - Love Theme


And then Ennio Morricone. What more that needs to be said? The Good The Bad & The Ugly is very similar to Conan The Barbarian in a lot of ways. A stoic, silent hero played by a leading man who can't really act, preferring to stride iconically around the landscapes of rural Spain while some of the most epic, operatic, symphonic music ever composed fills in all the gaps:

Ennio Morricone - The Ecstasy Of Gold


A bit more of a cult favourite, I always loved the recently departed Lalo Schifrin's (RIP) score to Enter The Dragon. Brilliantly groovy and vibey combination of film score, '70s funk and traditional Chinese music:

Lalo Schifrin - Sampans


And last but not least, I saw the original Terminator in the cinema a few months back, heavily stoned, and the opening titles hit me like a ton of fucking bricks. There's a lot of sounds in here which could go straight into a Bedrock record from 2001:

Brad Fiedel - The Terminator Theme

hahahaha

i prefer Once up a Time in the West as opposed to T.G,T.B,T.U

These two.

Interstellar a bunch I dont know the names.

so many nice tracks and a bunch of remixes that were made are nice too.


Oppenheimer main theme.


Zack Hemsey - Mind Heist - from the trailer of Inception not the OST (i don't care)

The first tracks which always come to mind are last of the mohicans, and sunshine.

Possibly something nobody�s ever heard before - loved the original chess musical growing up. Love a good choir

Sorry, on my phone so no embedding; too stupid.

Y'all have amazing taste in music

Mortal Kombat (1995) had a cool soundtrack. Halycon & On & On was likely the first electronic track I heard without realizing it.

It uses a Sylenth1 preset, but my word, what a stunner.

I wonder if there's a version of Earth somewhere in the universe where most successful electronic music producers don't do this. I would rather quit a project than use a preset and become the guy who played Chopsticks using a spacey preset to make a sci-fi movie feel more sci-fi.





Not Yared's most popular work, but it's my go-to for when I want to feel a certain, unspecific longing for something I've never experienced.





Same feeling here.





And here.





Yared again. The beginning makes me feel like Yared's probably been a big inspiration to Jeremy Soule. The movie's obviously great, too.





One of those movies that make me dream of being a film composer.







And plenty of music from Jeremy Soule, whose pieces don't always necessarily stand entirely on their own unless you've experienced them in their original context, but perfectly accompany the games (and memories of them) people usually first experience his music with. Oblivion, Skyrim.. Music that instantly transports me to a place where I probably felt happier than I ever did before and than I ever will again.

One that doesn't get as much shine as it should is Jerry Goldsmith's various 'V'Ger' themes from the first Star Trek movie. Don't think I've ever heard the Blaster Beam (a very new and unusual 'instrument' at the time) used in such an effective manner to portray omnipresent menace.

ah yes jeo, vidya games.

lame/easy pick? 1992

ah what a wonderful piece.

It took me longer than I care to admit to realize the thumbnail was not in fact the opening of the film and nothing was actually moving. I remember I made a similar thread like 15 years ago. Too bad it�s hard to dig up. There was some terrific stuff in there.

Anyway, I was reminded of this post the other day when my brother posted up a cover he kind of did on the fly of the Terminator theme. Really digging it and always enjoy covers that really open up the original and give it space to breathe just letting you appreciate how much emotional weight the the original carries.

Let�s see if I still remember how to v.bulletin�.

Edit: Nope. We�re gonna have to go back to an even earlier time now.

Terminator Cover

I like the cover from The Element
