Ready composer two

April 10, 2018

Verified Purchase

It's always nice to have a new Alan Silvestri score - this one, I suspect, appeals more to fans of thumping action cues, but there are some very nice things besides those. I wished for some stronger themes, but repeated listenings do help, and there are any number of fun musical quotes in the score. I'm not sure we needed a two-CD set of eight-four minutes, but sound is excellent and if it never reaches the heights of Spielberg's regular John Williams, it's still fun and recommended.

Alan Silvestri Delivers Another Amazing Fantasy/Adventure Score

April 25, 2018

Verified Purchase

First thing’s first. This album contains the score for the film as composed by Alan Silvestri. There are several one-star ratings for this product that have been written by people who were expecting the pop songs from the film, despite Mr. Silvestri’s name being listed as the album artist AND appearing on the cover of the album, as well as the pop songs not being included at all in the track listing. If you’re looking for the “Songs from the Motion Picture” album, it is available for download separately both here on Amazon and on iTunes (as of this writing, it does not appear to be available on CD).

Now that that’s out of the way, this score is a real gift to Alan Silvestri fans. "Back to the Future" lovers will notice a lot of stylistic similarities between the two scores (not including the direct quote in the track “Real World Consequences” as Wade uses the Zemeckis Cube). Other direct references include Max Steiner’s "King Kong" theme and a very robust performance of Akira Ifukube’s "Godzilla" march. None of the material from "The Shining" appears on this album--I’m not even entirely sure if that music was rerecorded or just taken wholesale from "The Shining" soundtrack, it sounds so darn close to the original.

This is a very optimistic, sweeping fantasy score. Two main themes stand out very prominently, though there lacks immediately identifiable themes for the love story and the villain. Occasionally some of the music is a bit anonymous--it’s admittedly hard to weave a rich tapestry of thematic material when dancing around near-constant song placement, dialogue, and explosions. But by and large, this is a fun action-adventure score that serves the film well and is very enjoyable on album. It might not be the complete slam-dunk that, say, "Back to the Future" was, but it’s close.

The movie's score is wonderful, and there are 2 discs of proof that Alan Silvestri is very much in the same league as John Williams

The score did not disappoint at all

April 12, 2018

Verified Purchase

I am a big Alan Silvestri fan. The score did not disappoint at all. Excellent recording. The only complaint I had was in the track listing on the back insert of the jewel case. Disc one lists tracks 1-11. Disc two lists tracks 12-22. The track listing on disc two should be the same as disc one.

Great music, dry mixing.

That old Silvestri magic is here in full force. My only complaint is the mixing is very dry, making the music sound like it was recorded in someone’s bedroom.

Alan Silvestri stands in more than capably for Spielberg house composer John Williams

April 6, 2018

I recently saw "Ready Player One" in the theater (more on that later). The movie features a TON of great music, both as to song placements and also as to the original score. As "Ready Player One" is directed by Steven Spielberg, one might expect long-time Spielberg house composer John Williams to be the composer, but with Williams getting up there in age (in his mid-80s now, if you can believe it), Spielberg in recent years has had to call on others to fill in where Williams couldn't (such as Thomas Newman in "Bridge of Spies"). And so here also, Williams vacated his spot, and in his stead we get another Hollywood veteran composer, Alan Silvestri, whose work goes back 4 decades (including the Back To the Future trilogy).

"Ready Player One - Original Motion Picture Soundtrack (2 CDs; 22 tracks; 85 min.) opens with "The Oasis", a full-blown choral-cum-orchestra piece that one wishes would play longer than just 2 minutes. "Hello I'm James Halliday" is a beautiful strings-heavy tune that captures the optimistic nature of the character nicely. "An Orb Meeting" sounds like it came straight out of a long ballet piece. With "Real World Consequences", we get the first action tune, and the orchestra is revved up to maximum gear. "Welcome To the Rebellion" is a gorgeous slower tune, as the movie's main character, 17 yr. old Wade, finds out that an organized group is battling the "bad guys" and he gladly joins. "High 5 Assembles" is a transitional composition, shifting between slower and faster. "Wade's Broadcast" is one of the score's key tracks, a 6 min, epic and driving tune. By now, we are at a point in the movie where it's basically non-stop action, and the music reflects that with high energy pieces like "Looking For a Truck: and "Last Chance". The soundtrack concludes with "Ready Player One (End Titles)", which captures the essence of the soundtrack in an 8 min. mini-suite beautifully. Bottom line: job well done, Mr. Silvestri! He proves a very capable stand-in for John Williams. BEWARE: if you are looking for the collection bringing (some of) the song placements, don't fall for a FAKE MP3 release on Amazon called "Player One Ready" (instead of "Ready Player One") featuring lame cover bands and intended to confuse the unsuspecting customer that they are buying the real thing. Wow, just wow.

As to the movie itself, Spielberg brings a CGI-dazzling adventure movie that is as fun as it is lacking in character development. I have never seen a movie with so many pop culture references, in fact it feels like that is the very raison d'etre of this movie. I enjoyed it for what it was, nothing less, nothing more. Meanwhile,. enjoy Alan Silvestri's rich score!

Great Score!

April 11, 2018

Great score! This is the soundtrack to the movie. For the 80s songs played in the movie (prince/blondie/twisted sister etc) search for the album “ready player one songs from the motion picture”. It has all the 80s songs and as of 4/11/18 is only available in digital format. For the 80s songs listed in the book; search for ready player one on Spotify. Ernest Cline has a playlist posted there. Happy egg hunting and MTFBWY!

Those of you giving bad reviews because it's the movie's ORIGINAL SCORE should be ashamed of yourselves.
Not reading product information and knowing what makes up a soundtrack should automatically disqualify those comments.
