Author	Topic: Companion Pieces?

Lee Oscar® Winner	As of late, many members on this discussion board have mentioned that the "Mummy" and "The 13th Warrior" would make great companion pieces due to their overall sound. Has anyone else discovered another group of soundtracks that would fit into this catagory of companion pieces. Try not to mention soundtrack and their sequals if all possible. Just try to list cds that have a similar sound and who share a particlar theme. Here's my choices: The Witches of Eastwick / Dr. Jekyll and Ms. Hyde Crimson Tide / The Peacemaker

Swashbuckler Oscar® Winner	I don't know why some of these are associated the way they are in my mind. Jerry Goldsmith's The Secret of N.I.M.H. and Legend This is one of the obvious ones. Goldsmith's Capricorn One and Brian May's The Road Warrior The pounding excitement generated by both scores seems to be of a piece in my mind. Patrick Doyle's Dead Again and George Fenton's Final Analysis Both of these scores are old fashioned, over-the-top fun. Howard Shore's Se7en and Silence of the Lambs Another no-brainer. James Newton Howard's Grand Canyon and Flatliners Both georgeous fusions of orchestra, chorus and electronics. Maurice Jarre's Enemy Mine and Jacob's Ladder Although written in wildly different styles, these two scores sort of work together when heard in a succession.

Chris Kinsinger Oscar® Winner	Herrmann's The Day The Earth Stood Still and Tiomkin's The Thing From Another World The use of the Theremin has always linked these two in my mind, as well as giving me goosebumps! Williams' The Witches Of Eastwick and Elfman's Beetlejuice Elfman's music is a humorous satire of Williams. Fail-Safe and Catch-22

H Rocco Oscar® Winner	Here's a threesome: PAPILLON ... THE WIND AND THE LION ... and ISLANDS IN THE STREAM. All written by some guy whose name I can never remember. (His earlier HOUR OF THE GUN, a Western of all things, has a few foreshadowings of the same material, as well.) NP: THE VANISHING (by that same guy whose name I can never remember ... this score rather neatly dovetails with whatshisname's slightly earlier BASIC INSTINCT ... now don't tell me what his name is, I wanna remember on my own ...)
