Hi y'all!

I really enjoyed recording this month's Fan Favorites episode. We're featuring some of our favorite movie music this month, and I think the community has come through once again with a varied and worthy list of composers and movies.

This is also the very first video to include our new intro and outro, featuring vocals by my the great Tim Waurick. 

Enjoy!

Unfamiliar with Tangerine Dream? There's a wealth of material there to explore. For a more modern take on modular synthesis orchestration, check out Red Shift from the UK, Also, Sorcerer is an excellent movie!

A bit disappointing that neither of the Jerry Goldsmith tunes got many votes. I guess this Patreon needs more Trekkies!!

After hearing the new intro, I confess the original sounds more organic (and I think the harmonies sound fuller).

Allen

The harmonies of the original intro sound more pleasing, I mean.

Actually, "Sorceror" is not sci-fi (the director, William Friedkin, was disappointed that moviegoers did not cheer this film; he thought they might have expected another "Exorcist" due to the title).

Especially the second part of the movie is breathtaking. And indeed, Tangerine Dream is worth an exploration. My favorite album is Rubycon. There is a ‘whoosh’ sound at the end of one of the two tracks on the album that’s plain beautiful, when the music lands you on a deserted beach, sometime in a distant past or future (at least in my imagination).

Danny Elfman's Batman theme at 10th place...and NOT in the video? I expect a full reprimand by doing an Elfman Special: Batman, Beetlejuice, Edward Scissorhands, Spiderman, Men in Black, Good Will Hunting, Nightmare Before Christmas, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, Charlotte's Web only a few amongst his movie scores, and for TV-series: The Simpsons, The Flash, Desperate Housewives, Tales from the Crypt, Sledgehammer. Also he wrote orchestral works, cello or percussion concertoes, music for Cirque Du Soleil, a Broadway production and and and. This man earns his own 1-hour (at least) reaction and analysis by our Good Mr. Daily ☺️. And I am not even talking about his exalted song writing and singing as head of Oingo Boingo before his movie scoring...

Richard Plante

Well done! I already have my suggestion set aside for Vol 2!

Michael LaPorte

I would love to see your reaction to the full Blade Runner soundtrack. It's really incredible.

Here,s the IMDB summary of the The Sorcerer: Sorcerer is a unique, brutal, brilliant film burdened underneath a terrible, wholly unappropriate title. Watching this film, it is not only easy to see why the film was both a huge financial and commercial disaster, it is downright obvious. This is the most un-american/ hollywood/ commercial film backed by a major studio I have ever seen. It is a tough, gruelling 126 minutes that goes nowhere fast, yet holds you firm in its tight grip and beats you senseless throughout. I was exhausted when the film finally arrived at it's rather downbeat ending. The multi-national cast is faultless. Scheider is magnificent. This is an exceptionally demanding, difficult role and he hits it head on, creating an anti-hero who is very, very real: desperate, frightened and desructable. Taking this role, at the height of his fame, was either very brave or very stupid. I'm going with brave. His performance here is a million miles away from his work on Jaws and Jaws 2, yet equally compelling. The photography is in a league of it's own (I only wish the DVD came with an original 2:35:1 print, assuming there is one, as the current disc is presented in a 4:3 full frame), and the music from Tangerine Dream complements the vision perfectly. This is a brilliant piece of film making from the most daring decade of cinema, made by one of cinema's true unpredictable's. Tense, dazzling, dark and fresh, this is an underated film that deserves to be re-evaluated. “Goes nowhere fast….” Probably also accurately summarises Doug’s reaction to the music. Perhaps it’s a case that the soundtrack needs the film as much as the film needs the soundtrack?

What a great Musical Adventure.....thankx Doug......dk

Dave Brockis

A quick summary of The Sorcerer. Four people, who do bad things, end up in a living purgatory, but are offered a path to redemption. Continuing the metaphor, they know this path takes them through hell and that they may not get to the other end, but they all think that taking the risk is better than living in limbo. It's a remarkable film. Not easy viewing, but a high point in the art of movie making.

Blade Runner is one of the best movies of all time IMO.

Bill Brinkmoeller

You should definitely see A Clockwork Orange. You should see ALL of Stanley Kubrick's films! Sorcerer (just "Sorcerer," no "The") is about Roy Scheider Driving a truckload of nitroglycerin over a tricky--and rugged--jungle trail. Hence the tension in the music. John Williams certainly has technique to spare, that's for sure. To me, though, the Theme from Star Wars sounds like the Theme from Superman, sounds like the Theme from Raiders of the Lost Ark, sounds like just about everything else he ever wrote. He's clever as hell, but he leaves me cold, much like a lot of Dream Theatre leaves me cold. I'm dazzled by your technique, but could you please give us some feeling, too? Where he found that Schindler's List score, I'll never know, but having Itzhak Perlman do the sawing certainly doesn't hurt. Mancini has all the genius of Williams, but also merriment and--as you said--gorgeous, memorable melodies. Shutting up now.

I thank you for realising how you were entranced by Tangerine Dream, how fast 8 minutes can rush by when your mind gets set free by music. TD always follows their own diction, trying to make each concert unique. They are partly improvising parts of their works. Founded mainly by late Edgar Froese from Berlin the band made probably like 20 movie scores or contributions. As their music is very special, so were the movies. You have the same effect of Pink Floyds movie scores (Obscured by Clouds / More) here, you would not really want to watch the movies...Please keep diving into TD's unique works. Start with the 5th album. The ones before were very experimental. Enjoy something which inspired Vangelis, JM Jarre, Mike Oldfield, Kraftwerk, Kitaro and lots more to their music, or to making music at all.
