Movie Collector OH

I remember them! There was a friend I had who was into them. Three guys jamming together, if I recall correctly. My buddy really liked them and I really liked Vangelis.

Here is another Vangelis theme, from the movie Antarctica (1983). One of the ones I remember and liked the most. Very serene. From IMDB: Two Japanese scientists, Ushioda and Ochi, develop a bond with their sled dogs while on an expedition in Antarctica. Ushioda and Ochi eventually leave Antarctica, only to return to search for the dogs inadvertently marooned there. https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0085991/?ref_=nv_sr_3 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GOwuniIgYXM

The monetization must be better.

A biggie. RIP.

Vangelis. Yeah, that Chariots Of Fire guy. He is said to live like a monk. It is most certain that he has more toys than anyone else and he knows how to use them. He needs no introduction from me. This video contains excerps of a bio of him. Near the end he talks about both of his parents. It is revealed that he composed the theme to Chariots Of Fire as a requiem for his recently deceased father, who happened to be a former Olympian. It wasn't until just before the movie was released to the general public that he played this for the producers, and it was this unreleased song he wrote for his dad that was immediately added as the main theme to the movie. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iqHjvlehav0

I haven't seen Alicia yet, but just went through a battery of Dave's intros this month. Looks promising. They are both under 70 or 80, but give them a chance.

At first I got the impression there was some reluctance to take care of this, "as if" it might keep some well doers from registering and posting here. Given some further reflection, I think it is simple economics and just more default settings.

About the same over here. But wait, aren't there a few more days of Oscar? Cleveland police urge residents to avoid travel because of weather http://www.cleveland.com/metro/index.ssf/2018/03/cleveland_police_urge_resident.html Over 70,000 people without power across Northeast Ohio http://www.cleveland.com/metro/index.ssf/2018/03/over_42000_people_without_powe.html So no, it isn't an issue yet. But this better be cleaned up and sunny in a couple days!

As the PBS painter Bob Ross might have put it, somewhere between the happy clouds and the angry trees flies a bluebird wistfully singing its song.

Could this be it? Big Blue Goose (1956) https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0292445/?ref_=fn_al_tt_1 (shown on TCM)

Here's one. Tomita was one of the first to use a Moog synthesizer, during the period when they were only available in the large modular systems. At that time it took weeks and months, not hours or days, to lay down a track like this. According to him, much of that had to do with the learning curve which was associated with using it, and also the fact that different sounds needed various patch cables to be moved around and adjustments made. In many cases if they really liked a sound they would have done all the takes without changing a thing, because there was no guarantee that once they changed it they could go back to it later.

Since the word "audiophile" is in the thread title. Here is a track from an album that seems to be popular among audiophile types. Bear in mind you are still just hearing it on Youtube, most likely over computer speakers.

Here's one for this thread. Theramin, nylon string guitar, Mancini and you.

That's also excellent I think. Just a different gig.

All this technology can be good, but I'll still have my wind orchestra w/ 3-4 baritone saxiphones, accordian (in place of string section), and of course plenty of extra percussionists.

Considering the source, for the thinking viewer, it is bound to raise more questions than answers. As always, just follow the money. Or don't.

LOL We may be talking about different Lydias. This one is a distant relative of Lev Theremin. Or so the story goes. Your mileage may vary. FWIW, probably not much.

I'm going to guess that you are talking about this. There is more than one score. https://youtu.be/CkXlXc0lA9c?t=5913 That video's description sent me here. They do original music for film scores. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Rats_%26_People_Motion_Picture_Orchestra Then they had a website listed on their Wiki page. But their website domain name has expired. There is also a small amount that can be found on Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=Rats+%26+People+Motion+Picture+Orchestra

You're welcome. I just happened to know that one off the top of my head.

Here is one. Since someone mentioned Theremins earlier. This is Lydia Kavina, who is probably the best known living theremin player today. Having said that, I am still trying to figure this out. There is Lydia's part which you will clearly be able to hear. Then there is a guy behind with a Mac Book Pro - usually when you see these on stage it means drum loops or drum and bass loops. Either that or the guy is a DJ. But in this case most likely a performer. Then to the right of her is presumably another theremin player, although it has quite a different form factor for a theremin (they usually just have a box and two antennas sticking out). This thing looks like a different beast. Behind him is someone doing God knows what. Okay, upon a second look I saw a keyboard. Then there is a harp player to the left. I tried listing to this on my computer speakers and heard no harp. Did they not mic it up? Maybe I should try it on a pair of headphones. It also might be that the harp has pickup coils like a guitar and is feeding something else that you are hearing, like some of the distortion throughout, and the noise at the end that sounds like an upright piano falling down about 15 flights of stairs. Or not. It is quite different.

Not even tinnitus would sound like that.

There were some guys over at another forum who noticed them some time ago. A group of live event production guys, we all had a good chuckle. Plenty of material for jokes, of course these guys would joyfully welcome it. As I recall, the founders were in the alternative or punk rock scene back in the late 70s or so. Go figure.

The Last Rose Of Summer

Nice selections! It is good to know I am not completely alone in this. I PM'd you with the rest of that Don Costa album.

Okay one more for now. This one is a one-off album for Don Costa from 1958. He served as one of Frank Sinatra's arrangers and band leaders, as well as having a career of his own. One night Don Costa and his band rented a big bar in town and they invited all their friends for a sing-along. They ended up going through the songs fairly quickly, as most of the people in the crowd were drinking, and the band began to realize the crowd was fading and they didn't have all night to get things perfect. I don't see much up on Youtube so here are a couple audio samples of that. This is from my collection as well.
