Review by Jared Brick
The album "36 Great Motion Picture Themes Original Soundtracks Vol II" by Various is a delightful collection of some of the most iconic music from the silver screen. From "The Godfather" to "Star Wars" to "Gone with the Wind," this album has it all.
The arrangements are faithful to the original versions, and each track captures the essence of the movie it represents. The instrumentation is top-notch, and the production quality is excellent.
One of the standout tracks on the album is the hauntingly beautiful "Theme from Schindler's List," which is performed with great sensitivity and emotion. Another highlight is the rousing "Main Title from Star Wars," which is sure to get any sci-fi fan's heart racing.

movie albums often had cuts that were unlike or completely new songs which were't available otherwise. Zibriskis Point had a Dead song that was cool but way out there.

Ken Thorne (the film's composer) was born in Norfolk, England. As a fellow Norfolk chap I am most proud to listen to this.

Some of the vocals on the recordings are in the movie, but in longer versions on t he LP/CD

today's movies are aimed at dickheads who call themselves movie fans but would never watch a subtitled movie!!

There is a different 'main title' cue in the f ilm than on the LP/CD. Most of the rest of the music is the same on those and in the film other than the one cue at the first.

@tripsadelica Have you ever listened to Michael Kamen's music? His compositions and recordings are the exact opposite of "cheap, mickey mousing" style you describe. My main point wasn't about Kamen, but about how modern composers are beginning to include more contemporary styles of music in to films. Star Wars is a cool score but was highly influenced by Gustav Holst's "The Planets" and in a lot of ways is pretty unoriginal. Just my 2 cents. Check out Giacchino, Morricone, Bource, Shore!

@shwizzy...Some of his music is okay...some is positively awful. As to Williams being influenced by Holst in writing the themes for Star Wars...well, perhaps he was but he was not copying in any shape or form. Most composers draw inspiration from the work of others...even the Beatles said some of their work was inspired by Presley. Giacchino I have no time for. I find his work simple and derivative. Morricone is brilliant...Bource is okay. Shore...meh.

@tripsadelica fair enough, I can certainly respect your opinions! If you get a chance, please check out my channel. I have some original compositions posted.
Cheers!
Cheers!

@shwizzy ...I can see your point of view, but what you have written underscores (no pun intended) the problem with today's movies...I call it "the Kamen approach". True...audiences pay to see a film and not listen to the music, BUT well written music adds to a film immeasurably...for example, Star Wars or Ben Hur. The Kamen approach is liked in Hollywood because it is cheap. It takes movie music back full circle to the Mickey Mousing of the silent screen action by two bit pianists. Sorry.

@tripsadelica I believe modern films are very thematic! I'd agree that film music isn't what it used to be, but certainly not due to ignorance from producers/directors (in most cases) or lack of talented composers. I think it has more to do with more contemporary techniques of tonal writing being incorporated in to film than ever before. In the words of Michael Kamen "The audience doesn't attend a film to listen to the score, they attend to watch the film".

@shwizzy ...please elaborate.

@tripsadelica not true.

So sad that modern films have no sense of thematic music in their soundtracks these days...it's all "mickeymousing" screen elements without any solid theme development. Perhaps it is because, apart from Williams, the greats of film music are long gone. This was Hollywood folks...where studios paid good money for true symphonic compositions. You'll never see (or hear) the like again. Vale.
