Yes, they are created by fellow member Danny Biker. He used music that “leaked” from the recording sessions before Sam Raimi foolishly eliminated his music. Really, the complete recording sessions makes for a wonderful listening experience.
I honestly like the Spider-Man scores (especially the second one) more than the Batman scores. And the complete rejected score from Danny Elfman is absolutely superb, and why someone would want other music eludes my comprehension. Also, I would like to commend member Danny Biker for his excellent YouTube.com videos regarding the Spider-Man 2 score.
It really is interesting to see how much of an impact one man has made on our lives, and we never even met him (well, perhaps one of us did, but let us not get into technicalities here)….
(Currently listening to “Jazz Autographs”)
The last thing people wanted to hear was Batman Forever-esque music
Finally, someone agrees with me! Even before I became interested in film scores, I remember watching the opening credits in the theater, thinking, “Hey, that sounds like ‘Batman Forever'” (:24-:26 of the Main Titles, to be specific).
Hm, if what you said is true, then I extend some sympathies to Sam Raimi for his troubled production. I still hate that film, though.
I always liked the Tobey Maguire comment on “Spider-Man 2”. He says something along the lines of, “I love the music, it makes you feel the emotion, but it is never distracting….” What made it funny to me was that he was talking over a tracked piece of music!
Oh wait, I was not alive for Oingo Boingo….
You weren’t alive in 1995?
Well, I was. but how many two-years-old knew what Oingo Boingo was?
I do not know, I would have loved for Danny to perform a song like Rahman did…. Bringing back Oingo Boingo, baby! Oh wait, I was not alive for Oingo Boingo….
Hm, I have yet to listen to that score. Apparently, if I love Serenada Schizophrana, I will love Standard Operating Procedure. Is that true?
Mm, I am not too sure about the film itself, but here is hoping that Bekmambetov that remembers “Wanted” and “9” when it comes time to choose the composer….
I am quite exicted for his Houdini musical, actually. And I would love to hear Danny Elfman score a “medieval film”!
I can see what you are saying, but I disagree with you. Just to make things easier, I will state my opinions right here: I hate Christopher Young’s music, and there is not a single cue of his that I have heard that I associated with the word “good”. The opposite would probably describe my feelings toward Elliot Goldenthal. I tend to like his music very much, though I do not buy his albums or even consider him a favorite. “Batman Forever” is not that great, though I will unabashedly say that I love “Two Face Three Step”. The best thing to come from that film, period. In fact, I think I will listen to it right now….
But the difference is that Elliot Goldenthal produced a respectable score (especially considering what he had to work with) that did not stray too far from Elfman’s work.
