Quote (nightspore @ Dec. 11 2008, 22:22) | I guess if you've really familiar with that scene it would have the effect you describe, Dirk. But it just shows how great that kind of music's associations are that Lucas used it when he was doing his nightclub/cantina scene. Did Star Trek ever do a nightclub scene? I know they did a Western one ("Spectre of the Gun"), as did Lost in Space ("West of Mars"). |
Well I would`nt say I was overtly familiar with that Star Wars bar scene,but it does kind of stay in the mind I think.It`s a great scene.The only sort of nightclub scene I can remember from the original Star Trek series was the Trouble With Tribbles episode.I`m sure they`re on some sort of "shore leave" neutral space station thing,and then it all kicks off with the Klingons does`nt it.I`m not a massive Trekkie or anything,but I do own a cat called Tribble,who is now the grand old age of 16.By the time she was on her third litter of kittens though(many years ago now) I did wish at the time that I`d maybe given her a different name...
Anyway I do like the fake sax within the context of the piece.It`s maybe hard to be subjective now,but imo I think a real sax would`ve perhaps sounded too "heavy" somehow?Misty is just such an airy dreamy kind of track to me,that I actualy feel that light "fake" sax kind of adds to it`s colour in a way.Sure it`s kind of corny,and it does make me smile a little bit I`ll admit.Which is maybe why like Sweetpea,I don`t think it works quite as well(if at all) when it re-appears in No Man`s Land.That said I would`nt argue with any of your description of the track Nightspore,except that for me,it works.
