I mean, Elliot Goldenthal...Alien 3 is an odd score. I mean, Elliot Goldenthal scores are generally fascinatingly odd, but that one particularly so. After Jerry Goldsmith's alternately hauntingly lovely and viscerally frightening <i>Alien</i> and James Horner's memorably brutal <i>Aliens</i>, Goldenthal's sad, religious, deeply intelligent score seems to come out of nowhere. The horror side is even more challenging than the others', but it's remarkably layered. Goldsmith and Horner are both capable of that sort of complexity, but they approached the series in fairly straightforward (albeit very effective) ways.<br /><br />That doesn't make Goldenthal's easy to listen to -- I, at least, really have to be in the mood for something that difficult -- but while it's not as easily enjoyable as the previous scores (or Brian Tyler's wildly overachieving AvP Requiem), it's certainly the most interesting.<br /><br />Anyway, nice to see Goldenthal's called out. It kind of gets forgotten given the overall dismissal of the that entry. (A dismissal I'd agree with, though I've at least come around to see the qualities its fans praise.)JJ Gauthierhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15795222927328657004noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5200001341422162219.post-20910679629542267902014-05-17T01:16:03.089+01:002014-05-17T01:16:03.089+01:00Wait until I'm a bit more desperate.Wait until I'm a bit more desperate.Jack Grahamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12577724856056106531noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5200001341422162219.post-31507580899921626542014-05-17T01:15:24.408+01:002014-05-17T01:15:24.408+01:00Hello Jacob - congrats again on your B.A.!Hello Jacob - congrats again on your B.A.!Jack Grahamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12577724856056106531noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5200001341422162219.post-63806023976050772342014-05-16T17:19:07.620+01:002014-05-16T17:19:07.620+01:00Hello Jack!
