Author	Topic: Jim Dooley stuff

sean Standard Userer	MV fans should go to: http://www.jimdooley.com/projects/index.html There are some new cues there. Specifically, the music for the trailer to Tony Scott's new film, Man On Fire, and an unreleased piece from Matchstick Men. The Matchstick Men track is almost identical to "Journey to the Line" from The Thin Red Line—I had a feeling Hans Zimmer wasn't responsible for this cue when I saw Matchstick Men, but still cool none the less. I like Dooley's output.

Bond1965 Standard Userer	Well...it's all fine & good but I just find it odd that they bash James Horner for using the same music over & over. At least he doesn't give a "team" the job of doing it. (And let's not get into the Horner/Prokofiev thing.) James P.S. Makes you wonder who writes what these days.

HadrianD Standard Userer	So... he scored that worthless King Arthur teaser eh? The music was.... teh SUCK, but I'll just blame it on the crappy trailer.

I like Dooley's output. This only further convince me that most of the composers who do additional music on any Hans Zimmer score just ends up getting the job of regurgitating old music of Hans'. Nothing against Dooley's talent for sure, but with some exception, that's why I often discount the additonal music credits of having real weight to them.

sean Standard Userer	Hey James Bond, I don't think there's anything wrong with James Horner—I only sometimes wish he sounded young again, like the Genesis Device (lol): "Let me show you something that will make you feel young, as when the world was new". That's bull, but I really think that people needlessly bash Horner for his work.

scoreguy16 Standard Userer	I noticed with Matchstick Men, none of the emotional music made it to the album which really dissapointed me. So it's kinda cool to see it here. Clayton

sean Standard Userer	That's what I thought, Clayton. Actually, of the whole year with unreleased music, that's the track I wanted—I think The Thin Red Line is Zimmer's best, so I don't mind hearing any sort of variations that pop-up of "Journey to the Line".

But wasn't this longer in the film? I thought it got louder and more dramatic as it went on kinda like Journey To The Line. Clayton

sean Standard Userer	As far as I can remember this theme appears twice in the film (actually, I was very surprised when it started playing—I didn't like the movie, but sat up when I heard the opening of this track). The first time it plays is right after Nicholas Cage and his "daughter" have made their getaway and meet Sam Rockwell in an empty outdoor parking lot—this is the unreleased version, that's less dramatic. The second time the theme appears occures when the bad dude—who reminds me of Meatloaf, for some reason—shows up at Cage's house and has Rockwell, who's been injred or shot: That's the version of the theme we have; so, I'm very sure, it didn't get any more dramatic then that "6m6". Glad to have it, finally.
