Without getting into the the core substance of the thread (he said deftly evasively), I would be curious to know if anybody else thinks that the "Goblins" themes of each are practically identical. That is, to my ears, each is cut from the very same cloth.
Thats a generalization based on overall sound - playful, mischievious, and treacherous.
I can support that perspective. Similar intentions perhaps.

...I like Tangerine Dream's score better than Goldsmith's.
No, wait... that's not entirely accurate. I think, as an album to be listened to away from the film, Goldsmith runs circles around the Dream. And certainly his "Dress Waltz" is leagues ahead of the circus calliope crap in the U.S. version. But on top of such a sumptuous film, Goldsmith's score seems on occasion to be too much frosting overpowering an otherwise richly flavorful cake.
There is a simplicity and directness to Tangerine Dream's score that, in my opinion, just suits Scott's fantasy textures better within the film. No, I don't really like the electric guitars much... and yes, I think it rather forces its overt "accessibility" at points. But on the whole, I think it serves the film better.
Now I think I am going to duck under my desk while all the Goldsmith fanatics sharpen their knives.
Well said. We own both and I prefer TD to Goldsmith's score in re: to the film. And with that said, do not behead me. Thank you.

To my ears the TD score is so bad that it is laughable. To compare it to Goldsmith's enchantingly gorgeous score is beneath contempt.
Goldsmith elevates a rather banal film to almost a work of art.
I could not agree more with this statement.

Yes, ignoring the statement because of a misspelling makes you the winner. That suit of armor you're wearing must be completely empty if thats the case.
What on earth is your problem?
I wrote a comment that I couldn't disagree more with an individual who wrote that all 80s scores should sound like Goldsmith. And you want me to write an EXPLANATION why I mean what I mean? Why should I?
Perhaps you never have posted a one-line response in a thread ever in your life? You explain everything thoroughly and carefully?
I really don't have time for stupid quarrels like this.
