Thank you whoever is releasing this! Richard Marvin deserves it!

Well, if a composer is going to imitate another composer's style in a score, it might as well be Jerry Goldsmith's. I wouldn't mind having this promo. The score was very good, but, honestly, there's nothing in it that I don't already have in my collection by Maestro Goldsmith. (especially Air Force One)NP: Goldsmith's "Papillon"

Jeez, Al,
This is two posts in a row where I have to chime in to say that I'm glad that SOMEBODY noticed the complete steal of the Air Force One music (see all the other U-571 posts for my short rants regarding this very phenomenon). One thing, though: I'm not going near this junk with a ten-foot pole. Really, if I see this CD within ten feet of me, the closest person to me is getting punched.Shaun

....theres some in every crowd folks. (AL & Shaun)
I didn't think it sounded like Air Force One at all. I've heard the score many times isolated from the speech and most of the SFX too.

On that note, I must add that I burst out into laughter at hearing the main theme in the theater. (the scene in which the sub heads for sea) A friend who knows pretty much nothing at all about film music shared this laugh also. Even he noticed that theme from Air Force One that I've played on CD so much.Still, even if I don't get the CD, I think that if someone is going to lift music or style from another composer, it might as well be from Jerry. I had to say it twice.

I don't need to hum it to remember how much the theme sounded like Air Force One. Most of the U-571 score, even the rumbling suspense music, was written in the Goldsmith fashion. I didn't see this as a bad thing though. It was almost as if Jerry had scored it himself.

I hear the similarities... but I don't let it bother me as much as Shaun does. I tend to try and enjoy everything as much as I can. While the AFO resemblance is apparent, it doesn't keep my from enjoying the score. AFO is a great theme to begin with, and if Marvin can compose another rendition that packs just as much punch, then hell, let him! I like good music. If it sounds like other good music, hey... logic dictates that is a good thing.Love you guys... just trying to level w/ ya.
