The score for DBS is, at least I think, not as good as Armageddon, but a really good buy. I will be getting it. But I will be getting "The Sixth Sense" first I LOVE THAT SCORE AND FILM, even though I got freaked out by it I love to scare myself

1. Aftermath (2:47)
2. Susan Softens (2:25)
3. Journey (4:46)
4. Main (3:05)
5. Hunting in Packs (1:43)
6. Experiment (4:27)
7. Jim Returns (1:19)
8. Shark Side (4:27)
9. Anarchy (4:24)
10. Doctor's Orders (0:34)

Total Time: 30:07

Although the score is short (the movie was, as well), it sounds as if some good action cues and the variations of the very nice, slow theme (as heard during the beginning and ending of the DBS Montage on the Soundtrack album) are included. The orchestrated version of the themes (although the synth bits are still there) sound far better and includes some great choir bits! It has been a while since I saw the movie, so I'm having trouble "placing" some of the cues.

p.s. The reverse liner notes indicate that the score is dedicated to Godfrey Rabin, Trevor's father.

Enjoy!

My favorite part in the movie is when the doctor gets his arm bitten off, and must be picked up by the rescue helicoptor..and gets dropped in the water. That was some great action music ! It doesn't look like that part is even on there is it?

Deep Blue Sea 5/5

Rabin's main theme (which shows up twice during the first track) sounds all majestic and heavenly...the nightwish version w/ electric guitars playing the melody and drums is like a complete contrast.

Deep Blue Sea in 99.

Were you trying to accuse Mr. Rabin of a rip?

CoD sounds nothing like Deep Blue Sea. I ahvent heard shrek.

Sure it does. Just listen to "Summon The Worms," "The Jihad," and "End Title" from Children Of Dune. The crux of that theme is from Deep Blue Sea, no doubt about it. There's also the Gladiator thing going on elsewhere throughout that score.

No I didn't realize that at all, thanks for shedding some light on this for me. I was buying scores for years with no idea about this, all because I foolishly kept hearing music I'd never heard before; I guess I should stop that silly hobby given the "strict limits" that clearly hinder a composer's attempt at originality.

It's Children Of Dune! A mediocre score. It's Brian Tyler! A mediocre composer. Yikes.

Are you trying to get smacked?! There are Brian Tyler fanatics all over the place! Not sure why, I kind of call him and Tyler Bates the same thing... Brian Tyler Bates... HA! Sorry... But seriously, you're telling me that writing for a western is so strict that he had to start out his theme using the theme from Deep Blue Sea (and Shrek)? I'd actually say Children of Dune sounds more like Shrek. They start out exactly the same, but I think the last like 4 notes are different (which is sad because the first 12 are the same).

I'm not going to tell you why you should have a hobby or not. As for Children of Dune, there's a ton of Eastern influences on that score, it's actually fairly original compared to a lot of the stuff around at that time. (It's not as good as his Timeline score which came out roughly the same time, though.) (And, It's certainly better than the dreck Graeme Revell composed for the first dune miniseries) And Brian Tyler....A mediocre composer you say? Thats nonsense. CoD isn't my favorite BT score, but even the BT haters tend to like this one. He's one of the most innovative composers around combining elements of rock with that of the orchestra. Thats also why I love Trevor Rabin's work. And BT can still write pure orchestral works which sound as good as anything anyone else is doing (Partition) As can Rabin (The Great Raid).

Originality doesn't mean you can't use similar (or the same!) chord progressions (lets throw out the entire Blues genre, why don't we?),

You're the one claiming lack of originality here, and if we're going by your criteria, when you want to compare melodic phrases which sound completely different, only sharing a few identical starting notes. There are 16 keys. you can construct a fair amount of chords (but certainly not unlimited!), and utilize different octaves and such, but the odds of you composing something cold turkey, being influenced by Western music, being trained in Western music, that ends up sounding like something that's been done before, in Western music, is pretty damn likely. Which is why its annoying to no end whenever anyone thinks they are cool and notices a single note similar from one composer to the next, they assume it's plagiarism.

And I was talking strictly about melodic and harmonic composition. There's a whole bunch of **** you can do in the orchestration, using meter, etc, which can make things rather more complex, even if its not entirely original.

Clayton

LMAO! I love that. You know why, Clayton? Apparently you're liable to get sued if you write a piece of music that has the same 16 (that's right, 16!) notes as another piece of music ... Tyler's master plan worked: He only copied 12, not 16; he's lucky that Brian Tyler Bates: Now I hope his publicist/basket-case-jerk/pompous windbag fanboy Ryan Keveaney comes in here to tell us Brian Tyler is the Shakespeare/Plato of music. BTW, bring on those Internet slappers! HAHA.
