Re: STXI Theme

I'm still hoping for the disco version.

I actually remember that. My girlfriend at the time (later ex-fiancee) brought that record to our graduation party. I feel so old knowing that...
Didn't they also do a Star Wars version? or was that someone else?

Re: STXI Theme

Saving the full theme to the end a la Casino Royale is a definite possibility, but I guess that as with that movie the elements of the theme will crop up throughout.

With MI-III Giacchino gave us a score heavily dependent on Schifrin's original themes (far more faithfully than either Elfman or Zimmer in the previous movies), and with a very jazz-based mechanic to it all (Schifrin was primarily a jazz composer). Having said that, the MI-III score, though exciting and faithful to the original themes, doesn't have any really memorable leitmotifs or passages other than the Schifrin elements.

So I'd expect a very Courage-referent score with an Aaron Copeland vibe to it, leaning towards jarring discord in the action scenes.

(FWIW, Giacchino's finest score is still, IMO, Medal Of Honor Frontline)

I'm embarrassed to say that I rather enjoyed the latter link.

This, however, is just damned strange:

Re: STXI Theme

In all serious, what about Star Trek Rock?

That really, um, oh, what's the word I'm looking for? Oh yeah, that rocks. Thanks for the link.

Now, that is strange.
