Free Music Notes for Day the Earth Stood Still (Score)
Free Music Review: I Stood Still, Too!
Hit: 5 Stars
When I first saw the movie, on a Saturday afternoon "Creature Feature", with some family members, I bragged that the music was done John Williams ...because that same music was featured in "Lost in Space" over and over alot. Little did I realize, after looking at the credits, that it was Bernard Herrmann...in fact the 'recycled music' used in the LIS series was from this movie: ..DAY THE EARTH STOOD STILL; and Bernard was never listed in the credits on the LIS TV show --not even as 'additional music by'--to avoid paying him any royalties; & that was WRONG. That just goes to show how GOOD the music is..a real treasure.Free Music Review: Music for Flying Saucers and Peace
Hit: 5 Stars
Bernard Herrmann, the famous coposer of so many classics of the cinema, has never written a boring film score, and in this science fiction classic,he sets the standard high again for great film music. This film is one of the classic science fiction movies of all time and this film score matches its subject with great force, music of the heavens and space and great music for Gort the robot. Highly recommended. This music fills you with awe and great harmonies. Herrmann was one of our greatest film composers and anything he wrote is worth listening to again and again.Free Music Review: Not the original, but well worth hearing
Hit: 5 Stars
This is not the original, but a fairly faithfull re-recording of the score. Purists may be put off by this and wish to seek out the original, but I think most will find this a beautifully recorded album. There are only minor changes to be found here, most have to do with the difference in recording techniques. The sound is fuller and richer that the one used for the film. I have to admit I purchased this thinking it was the original, but any bad feelings I had about that fact quickly went away.Free Music Review: A great re-recording
Hit: 5 Stars
I wasn't sure what to expect. I know the cover art is a little cheesy. But the recording is fantastic. I think great pains were taken to make this as true to Hermann's original score as possible. It's clean, dynamic and really show how much contemporary film scoring was influenced by Bernard Hermann. And the thereminist on this is really first rate.
If you liked the original movie, are into film scoring or a theremin fan, this CD is highly recommended.
Free Music Review: Awesome Re-Recording!
Hit: 5 Stars
This re-recording is the best version of this film's soundtract I have ever heard! It is just awesome and with it's 21st century stereo sound recording techniques, you won't believe how good this sounds. It is really erie and powerful stuff. Man, when I put the sound up for the music when Gort the Robot first appeared in the film, no kidding, it is so ominous you just want to run away! Can't get better than this. Highly recommended.
