4) Album title, track title, composer name, performers, label and purchasing option (if available) will be provided as soon as each excerpt has been positively identified.

If you don't know what the excerpts are, then please, say so. And I'll find some clues which might indicate the possible answer.

If you know the excerpts, then feel free to give clues to others.

The clips:

Normally, the clips should work. If they don't, forget I ever posted this topic.

Thanks for your participation.

The link names have nothing to do with the track titles, nor the music.

They represent some of the thoughts running through my mind when I sometimes listen to the excerpts.

I didn't want to call them "excerpt1.rm", "excerpt2.rm" and so on.

Those four sound clips are all GLORIOUS!
I loved every one of them!

However, my guessing ability is minimal...

CLIP 1: Definitely John Williams. I dunno. My guess would be the boat chase from The Last Crusade. Probably wrong. But I KNOW it's Williams!

CLIP 2: Sir William Walton? I have no idea what film...

CLIP 3: WILLIAMS again! Is this clip from Raiders???
I really don't know...

CLIP 4: Brad Fiedel TERMINATOR 2!

1. Never heard it. Sounds indeed like John Williams, but I have no idea what it could be. So my guess is: Could it be some of McNeely's Young Indy music? It's said to have a distinct Williams sound, but I've never heard it. And somehow, it doesn't completely sound like "true" Williams to me.

Chris: It's definitely not the boat chase from Last Crusade - that one's on the official album. And I can't remember having heard it on the boot, either.

2. No idea. Sounds great!

3. No idea, either.

2. Sounds familliar, style-wise. Not really Williams, though. I like, but I don't know.

3. No idea.

4. Tonight's scrambled movie title: 2T

Ok, as for the clips, there is no Williams in any of them. Though stylistically they are similar to his style. That's why I titled one track lukeandleia.

Here are some clues, I'll those people who haven't yet, play some more, and I'll give the answers later.

"lukeandleia" as well as "edgartownson" were both composed by a British composer who passed away in the early 1970's.
Here's the name with a few letters, fill in the rest.
A _ _ n R _ _ _ t _ _ _ _ e

"ipulledahorner" was composed by a Russian composer who also died in the 1970's.
D_ _ _ _ y S_ _ s _ _ _ _ _ _ _ h
aka:
D_ _ _ _ i S_ _ s _ _ _ _ _ _ _ h

Congrats to all who guessed the "butman" clip.

It is from The Terminator composed by Brad Fiedel. But it's the symphonic version which was produced by Silva Screen/edel company for a compilation titled
"Fantastic Voyage: A Journey through Classic Fantasy Film Music".
Performed by the City of Prague Philharmonic as conducted by William Motzing.

• Two (120 KB)
  
• Three (750 KB)

Two may be a bit too short, and Three too long, but we'll see.

1. Poltergeist Goldsmith
2. A Leonard Rosenman ascending scale, probably from Fantastic Voyage
3. Conan The Barbarian Poledouris

How'd I do?

Hehehe, that's exactly how I wanted them to be like.

Chris is totally correct about Conan, I think it should have removed the last few seconds to make it more difficult.

The first one is NOT Goldsmith, but from another highly popular current composer. It's the only one of these cues I'm absolutely sure I'd have recognized myself, but that's just because I always have to laugh when I hear that short motif near the beginning (although I don't think there's anything funny going on at this point of the film).

The second clip is probably a bit too short. It's NOT Rosenman, although I figured this would be the obvious guess, and the one I'd make myself. But Rosenman isn't the only one who uses tone pyramids. Try to recognize the "overall sound" of the excerpt, that might help a bit.

It's not exactly a horror flick, but it has horror elements. Also, it's a sequel; both films were scored by the same composer.

John, #2 is indeed Goldsmith, but not Malice (I haven't even heard that score yet ). It's one of his most famous scores. Just picking the tone pyramid as a sample is really too unspecific, but maybe somebody guesses it right anyway.

I'm sorry that some of you have problems downloading the files, I guess it's time to look for a better webserver again.
