I have a dedicated playlist for the SW OT soundtrack.
I like the LotR score, even though I’ve not seen the movies. Or read the books.
Okay.
Cool, I have one for the whole saga soundtrack.
You should totally watch the movies at least. The books aren't for everyone since they're kinda slow-paced and very detailed, but The Hobbit is pretty tame. What kind of books do you generally like to read?
I’m working on one of those.
I’ve wanted to but I currently don’t have access to them. I don’t have a favourite kind of book really. I’ll read anything so long as it’s interesting.
Anyone like Hans Zimmer? He removed melody from his soundtracks long ago, but shush.
"Is that the one with the soldiers on the beach while Hans Zimmer falls asleep on an organ?" -HISHE Luke Skywalker on Dunkirk
I haven't listened to much of his work, honestly. I do like Kung Fu Panda and Lion King but I can only remember one instrumental piece out of both of those. You know that music that plays while Simba runs back to Pride Rock from his Hakuna Matata paradise land? That was pretty cool, but overall the instrumental score isn't super memorable.
Although personally I really enjoy melodies in movie soundtracks. I love it when everything has its own little leitmotif. That's why I love Williams and Shore so much, they (especially the latter in LotR) are masters of that technique. I don't get why anyone would prefer a bunch of organ chords over something as vibrant and vivid as that.
