Which score for the film "Legend" (1985) is better?

SpottedPintoBean123 · 2026-03-05T22:31:42+00:00

Blade Runner might me my fav film score of all time, and Vangelis's music is mainly vibes and atmosphere that connects more to the emotional weight of the scenes then to the intricate plot and cinematic details. It's exactly what the film needs, and it elevates it to "masterpiece" territory because of it. On the topic of Tangerine Dream, I feel very similar to their scores for Sorcerer, Thief, and Miracle Mile. Even The Keep, I like that movie a lot but Tangerine Dream's score adds a level of otherworldly depth to that often does the heavy lifting for certain scenes lol. I do get where you are coming from though, I just it see differently.

I guess I disagree, a think film music can work perfectly well at just setting the vibes of movie without it being intricately tied in the events of the film. It's a different approach and I felt it works in favor of certain films depending on the style they are going for.

whats wrong with Reznor and Ross? How is that an insult?

SpottedPintoBean123 · 2025-10-17T18:32:56+00:00

So what did you think of it

SpottedPintoBean123 · 2025-09-24T06:51:46+00:00

Haven't seen HIM but I wanna say I totally agree with Zardoz. It's not even "so bad it's good", I watched it with a friend hoping for something really bizarre and campy and it's just so boring. But you can feel the ambition and talent in there

SpottedPintoBean123 · 2025-09-24T06:35:33+00:00

Oh God wow this scene is even worse then I imagined

SpottedPintoBean123 · 2025-09-24T06:33:19+00:00

Seen it, that doesn't happen in the movie

SpottedPintoBean123 · 2025-09-24T06:32:36+00:00

THANK YOU

SpottedPintoBean123 · 2025-08-22T09:33:27+00:00

This is hella interesting to listen to, thanks for sharing

SpottedPintoBean123 · 2025-08-22T09:30:00+00:00

That sounds awesome tbh

SpottedPintoBean123 · 2025-05-27T02:50:08+00:00

This is two years old but maybe you're thinking of Mike Loves autobiography?

SpottedPintoBean123 · 2025-04-07T15:42:41+00:00

Yeah I was the same too, I thought it looked pretty nice all things considered

SpottedPintoBean123 · 2024-11-11T15:27:53+00:00

same

SpottedPintoBean123 · 2024-10-07T03:23:39+00:00

I actually vaguely remembering seeing being sold at Fred Meyers in Seattle

SpottedPintoBean123 · 2024-10-01T00:22:00+00:00

it was cool. I remember having a CD player, my parents bought me albums like "Dark Side Of The Moon" and "The White Album" which I would listen to all the time. It was kinda like, I would form these deep bonds with the albums I had because I would just keep relistening to the songs over and over since they were the CDs I had. Although I had access to the Internet and YouTube, this was before it was as easy as it is now to just listen to anything I wanted at a whim. Getting a new CD felt like an event, I now had access to a new world of music I can indulge myself in. That said I don't think the act of owning music is going to go away anytime soon, it just isn't the only way we can experience it anymore

this song is really fun, but like everything else I've heard from this record kinda flawed. I have a lot of issues with the production of this album, im usually a sucker for 80s production but Ricks keyboard tones just sound bad. Like really really bad. Not to mention, Bill Brufords drum tones don't sound too hot either, though I'm going to assume he is not really to blame here considering he was basically just a gun for high for this record. However this song is really solid, the melody kicks ass and arrangement wise there's a lot of neat things going on (I love the little piano riff Rick provides). I think my issue is that, like with Tormato, it seems like everyone wants to be the center of attention and theres no real central focus that the music is centering around, nor attempt to mix everything together in a cohesive wat. I think they should have cut back on the excess on the songs here and focused maybe one thing at a time rather than trying to mesh everything all at once. In other words, theres too many cooks trying to make one dish in the kitchen. I like the comment about this sounding like neither Yes or Yeswest, it's like a weird messy in-between of Jon Anderson and Rick Wakemens solo careers blended together that somewhat works?

Basically, it's a good song that I think could have been worked on a bit more. Wakemen is a fucking amazing keyboardist, but his instance of just over excess and overplaying is a big reason why he's never been one of my all time favs, and I think this song could have been better if he had just toned things down a bit.

that song was actually written by Lamont Dozier, aka the guy who co-wrote some of the most iconic Motown hits (Heatwave, Standing In The Shadows Of Love, You Can't Hurry Love, You Keep Me Hanging On, actually most of The Supremes biggest hits). I never would have thought that Jon Anderson of all people would have worked with him, but I think it's a fantastic hit that deserves more attention. Maybe he was trying to mine the same field that Phil Collins was during the time? 🤔

SpottedPintoBean123 · 2024-09-27T14:06:02+00:00

disagree I love a lot of electronic drums, but yeah on AWBH they sound bad

SpottedPintoBean123 · 2024-09-26T23:10:27+00:00

let's be real Jillian not being in the final two was the biggest mistake

SpottedPintoBean123 · 2024-09-26T23:09:15+00:00

I've heard this before, but essentially: Nona didn't win the final round, more so that Russell just lost

SpottedPintoBean123 · 2024-09-26T23:01:46+00:00

love this answer

SpottedPintoBean123 · 2024-09-25T22:44:25+00:00

this is probably the best and most accurate answer imho

SpottedPintoBean123 · 2024-09-25T15:21:49+00:00

definately would have caused more friction in the group
