Widescreen Standard Userer	Certainly! I'm still trying to get together with Jeron, but he still has a little time before he heads back.

TV's Frank Standard Userer	very very exciting, cannot wait for this one, being a big Shearmur fan!

Bond1965 Standard Userer	I'm very much looking forward to this film and the score. But I do have one minor complaint. What the heck is wrong with Paramount's advertising campaign on this film? Did you see the poster and cover to this CD? It's drab and boring and says NOTHING about the film. This would have been the perfect film for a vintage style poster by Drew Struzan. I hope the film and score do well. It's sort of been a lackluster second half of summer. James

JeffBond Standard Userer	The score is fabulous and I'm a big fan of the film as well. But I do agree Paramount seems to have no idea how to promote it...

justin boggan Standard Userer	I can't wait to hear the score - first time I have said that about any of Ed's scores. The movie looks very stylistic, but that doesn't say anything about how the qaulity of the story and characters will be. I feel a little iffy on those. I might see the movie anyway.

Jeremy Standard Userer	I absolutely agree that Paramount sucks at advertising- I am however looking foreword to the film- I'm hoping for a more stylisic INDIANA JONES (We can only cross our fingers. I'm not really familiar with Ed's work but I hope that he goes with a retro- "1930's Superman [the cartoon] sound." Looking foreword to it

justin boggan Standard Userer	Oh yeah, PETER! Can you fix that link so it doesn't stretch the page please? Or the author.

Bond1965 Standard Userer	I think the newest trailer at the film's web site features some of Ed Shearmur's score. Jeff can probably confirm this as he's already seen the film. It sounds very retro and fitting to the film. James

JeffBond Standard Userer	I haven't seen the trailer but I can confirm that the movie is very much Indy/early Star Wars in style--very light on its feet and I liked the characters very much.

Widescreen Standard Userer	Folks, sonyclassical.com has a website set up for the Sky Captain score with short sound clips of each track to give you an idea of what it will sound like. Now I'm even more eager to see the movie and get the score. The descriptions given to the style of the film by folks in this thread seem accurate, though sound clips of the score are no way to determine this as such. But what I'm hearing there sounds like it may be worth the price. [Message edited by Widescreen on 08-21-2004] [Message edited by Widescreen on 08-21-2004]

justin boggan Standard Userer	He means right here: http://www.sonyclassical.com/music/92932/ Sounds good, but still a little mixed; planed on seeing the movie anyway, so I hope the score blows me away.

Timmer Standard Userer	Sounds very promising, the score definately catches the atmosphere of the clips I've seen.

Widescreen Standard Userer	Just finished listening to it- everything I wanted and more.

Vinylscrubber Standard Userer	This one announces Shearmur as one butt-kicking epic film composer. I haven't listened to a damned near hour long score and then wanted to go back and listen to the whole thing again in a very long time. If this film gets the audience it seems to deserve, this is going to put Shearmur on the map in a big way. I REALLY liked this score!
posted 08-26-2004 01:54 PM PT (US)

James Standard Userer	Okay, I got 20 minutes in and decided to save the rest for later. And anyway, those 20 minutes already greatly exceeded my expectations for this score. I expected it to be good, but I had no idea it would be on this level. It could not have come at a better time, too...with the departures of Goldsmith, Raksin, and Bernstein seemingly signifying the downfall of an entire era, Sky Captain is like Shearmur lifting me off the floor and reassuring me that it's all going to be okay...and then strapping me into a fighter jet and throwing me off into the sky to get some fresh air. Hmm, still two weeks until this is released? Maybe I will keep listening.... Kirk NP - humming Sky Captain theme incessantly

Indysolo Standard Userer	This is all preliminary. These may not all be entirely accurate. At least two of the tracks segue together ("Back to Earth" and "Over the Rainbow") so it's possible that more of them do too. In the meantime though this is the the CD I made from the AOL stream. I'm looking forward to hearing this album with proper sound. 01. The World of Tomorrow - 1:07 02. The Zeppelin Arives - 1:53 03. The Robot Army - 6:28 04. Calling Sky Captain - 1:02 05. Back At Base - 1:33 06. The Flying Wings Attack - 9:15 07. An Aquatic Escape - 3:59 08. Flight to Nepal - :39 09. Treacherous Journey - 2:20 10. Dynamite - 2:26 11. Three in a Bed - :57 12. Finding Frankie - 1:53 13. Manta Squadron - 3:08 14. H-770d - 6:33 15. Flying Lizard - 2:20 16. Totenkopf's Ark - 5:02 17. Back to Earth - 3:14 18. Over the Rainbow - 3:55 Neil

porter Non-Standard Userer	the first track reminds me A LOT of Indiana Jones.

Jeremy Standard Userer	I was hoping for an "Indiana Jones" type sound. Really looking foreword to this one

Jeremy Standard Userer	CRAP! I have the worst luck. Not only is power out around my home, and so stores may not be open for the release tommorow [Due to Frances, for those os us who don't watch the news] But I also only have eight bucks, for a twelve buck purchase... darn fate!

lancer Standard Userer	Well after journeying to best buy, circuit city, and the mall, I finally picked this one up at walmart of all places. I must say it was well worth it all, this is probably my favorite score of the year now. Very indiana jones, and star warsish. It reminds me of Early williams, and new Silvestri combined, extremely highly recomended.

God bless you Sam Wal-mart...haha. And yes, this score rules! Best of the year for me, and one of the most enjoyable and exciting action/adventure scores I've heard in a lonnnng time. I think Shearmur's Oscar countdown clock is set. (It's set for 5-10 years from now.) Tim

Bryan T Standard Userer	I picked up mine at the local Hastings, and I am pretty impressed. Edward Shearmur is definitely someone to keep an eye on (I also really enjoyed his score for The Count of Monte Cristo. Anyone else see the dedication to Michael Kamen in the insert? I thought that was nice. Anyway; the music is great. I can't wait to see the film.

Once again, Ed proves he speaks as cool and intelligently as his music. A couple of interesting things-- he says the love theme is never quoted in its entirety? Not even in the "Back to Earth" cue where there's like 4 phrases of the theme? I also like the fact that there's 100 minutes of score for this film. I can't wait to see the flick and hear all the unreleased bits...

Quill Standard Userer	Great movie with a great look and just a good feel to it. I felt it was very well written...as opposed to both of Stephen Sommers last two films (which I consider to be in somewhat of the same vein.) Sure its cliched, but that's the point. Shearmur's score....fantastic! Highly recommended for anyone who likes adventure, fantasy and sci-fi.
