Batman Forever.
|
|
|
|
|
His ballet OTHELLO, on Varese Sarabande, is truly gorgeous stuff, some of his most accessible music.

I grew up with Goldenthal. I saw Pet Sematary in the cinemas and Drugstore Cowboy on video. I was mortified walking favouri turopee cd shop and seeing name goldenthal on it. I am an 'alien' geek but i did not buy the cdntil it was available in E nto but I have loved goldenthals music since 1993. And I so adore it still!

I'd focus on: Sphere Batman Forever Michael Collins Heat Cobb BATMAN FOREVER is perhaps not so relevant if you have BATMAN AND ROBIN, though the sound quality will probably be better. HEAT utilises string quartet and Braca's notion of the 'orchestra of electric guitars' for a powerful, melancholy score. COBB is the dark side of what you might call the Americana score. Idioms clash in this portrait of a violent, raging icon. MICHAEL COLLINS takes an interesting angle on the Irish setting of the film. This is one of the few Celtic tinged scores I find interesting to listen to. SPHERE is more along the lines of his fantasy/scifi scoring, with haunting use of minimalism for the water setting, and one track 'Pandora's Fanfare' that just lingers with you for a long time. EDIT - Oops - somebody said OTHELLO. Obviously you should get this first. This is his greatest work to date for me.

Cobb, Cobb, and Cobb. It's usually available for a steal of a price, so I wouldn't hesitate! Michael Collins is wonderful, too; Heat is worth checking out if you're into more ethereal and soundscape type music. The Kronos Quartet adds its own flair/voice to the proceedings, too. And as per a Michael Mann film, the source cues are also pretty much top notch.

Insomnia, so I'm terrorizing the board, and boosting this!! Hi Thor! How's the spirit world working out, you bloody Phantom, you. (Don't answer, ill never see it, ha!). Bumped this as IN DREAMS namely Elisabeth Fraser's song, came up at random, and i was reminded this album is another 'journey'. Unnecessary to see the film, the album truncated or not tells A, THIS story perfectly, albums such as this negate the film if its wonky.....like this one. Rewatched a year ago and its just a clumsy, awkward film with shock events peppered in for....cos, reasons. First view of this film was an early exposure to the new fangled DVD tech (Rad! I can dump my laserdiscs I JUST invested in!!!) as I was/am so sprung on EG's scoring, he would've made Sharknado 17 challenge Verdi, any film borne his name after Pet Sematary or Alien 3, I was on it like a cheap suit. Anyway, Goldenthal is the briefest, finest gift our art enjoyed, short as it was (in spite of his trickling out concert works or indie films, I doubt the MCU or DCU or SW, LOTR....all those high profile IP's, are going to be calling, as much as 97% of this community would welcome it), I always chuckle, the thought of our own LK, cat calling DEMOLITION MAN as a half million dollar orchestration lesson from.the Brothers Warner! April or so 93, go look! EG's on the cover! The row of cds I own from this amazing artist speaks and means volumes to me. -Sean

Hi Thor! How's the spirit world working out, you bloody Phantom, you. (Don't answer, ill never see it, ha!). I know you don't see it, but there wasn't really anything to respond to in your bump. However, now that you've bumped it, I should respond to myself and what I said in 2008: The problem with these threads is that Goldenthal's discography is so limited that you're bound to get almost every single of his scores listed by SOMEONE throughout the thread. And then the first poster would be stuck with: "so basically EVERYTHING he did is recommended!?". What would perhaps be more fruitful would be to ask: If you could name THREE and only THREE essential Goldenthal ALBUMS (including both scores and concert works), what would they be? There's one thing I should have added to that 15 years ago -- asking what the first poster's preferences are, and tailor-make suggestions from that. From the titles he said he owned at the time, he seemed to be into the bigger orchestral things, so the recommendations should have gone from there. Still limited to three, of course. Oh well, he's probably not around anymore.
