TMNT (2007) Original Motion Picture Soundtrack - Page 2

*Masked Ninja* · 11-12-2006, 02:08 AM

I'm a HUGE fan of instrumentals, but the beginning/end credits should be fair game... just nothing too weird. And screaming vocals make my ears bleed.

Dangit, someone posted something really cool on this subject a while back that would be amazing if you could actually pull it off. I think I shall go forum digging...

*Spike Spiegel* · 11-17-2006, 03:41 PM

Something hip-hop, but not too much so...just needs to have a beat and you can dance to it.

Example... it gets a little harder with some heavier bass on Raph or gets a little Techno with Don, becomes a little lighter bouncier with mikey or more melodic and fluid with Leo with the intensity about half of what Raph's may be but powerful cause he is the leader...It could be four themes in one song and at one point it could combine in a clever way...agh I wish I could compose! Darn my lack of musical talent!
I dunno just a random thought when I was walking to work listening to Sin City instrumental The Servant.
The idea is reminiscent of how Danny elfman works when he does stuff for tim burton. He gives everything it's own theme, there is never anything generic.

Now, how cool would that be?

Ra · 11-20-2006, 03:07 AM

I would so fall out of my chair if Danny himself wanted to help out with the score

Shemh, in my dreams, right?

I personally think a remix of T.U.R.T.L.E. POWER should be thrown in at some point. Say Casey is at a night club with April or something, and it's playing as they walk in. Just something that can blend in, but us older turtle fans can go "YEAH!" at. Or Vanilla Ice's "Ninja Rap" playing, with Casey looking at it and saying something like "Who the hell would listen to that stuff?"

For the score itself, I'm thinking of a very dark theme, but a bit hip-hoppy, rocky, underground-y or something-y for variety. I'm thinking more rock to be truthful. Maybe something similar to what they were playing in the background of the sneak-peek at the new game? (if ya want to see, just look on Youtube)

I have my faith in the makers of the score. I have a good feeling that they are trying to DO something, unlike the recent games people at Konami have thrown out...

*sdp* · 11-20-2006, 11:17 AM

I'm really not expecting a very memorable soundtrack, not that it'll be bad but nothing that WOWs me. Hopefully i'm wrong, i'd love for the TMNT movie to have an amazing "main theme".

Zelda · 11-20-2006, 03:35 PM

I *love* the idea of the Cowabunga Carl van playing the 80s theme! YES! I'd be cheering in the middle of the theatre! They definitely need to do some nostalgia for the credits too.

It'd be awesome to see a revamped version of that insturmental that plays in TMNT1 when you first get introduced to the guys, their shadows on the sewer. That one always makes me giddy and dancey (:

Maybe a kind of 'theme' music for each turtle? Nothing really hugely obvious, maybe variations on a theme. I'd like to hear Mikey's sounding like it was made on an old video game system.

For an overall feel, I'd like some rock but not pop-rock....more generic rock I guess with some leaning towards metal with non-boring guitar arrangements. Fights scenes = GUITARS to me. I think it would rather disturb my TMNT-watching experience if we've got 'crawwwlling innnn my skiiiiin!' as the TMNT are sneaking around though ^_~ I don't have anything against it as music, it just...doesn't seem to fit. I also agree that lyrics might get in the way. As much as I love a song to sing along to ;p

I do like the drum thing they've got going on in the trailer.....more of that would be cool. I can see it having some variations put into it to give us some Splinter music (traditional Japanese-esq), Raph music, etc. There is also something about the low booming cymbals/drums that reminds me of the first movie and I can see that 'intro music' I mentioned fitting well with it.

I can see it going the way of Blade's soundtrack too.

So many options!

*Spitfire* · 11-20-2006, 08:39 PM

It should be a hip hop-ish style soundtrack, just beats no vocals.

I hate rap, I hate beats, but it works. Pop music sucks, Rock sucks, and I can't stand that emo crap.

I love metal, good metal. Not slipknot, not Lamb Of God. I'm talking something that takes talent and has some bad ass solos. Like Arch Enemy or Children Of Bodom. But that would not work for a movie. To me though COB would be awesome for TMNT. It's up beat, fast, and gets you pumped but that's just me I guess.

Yeah I know what you mean, now as far as the whole LP comments yeah I couldnt see it being in the movie either. I was just throwin out ideas. But most movie soundtracks dont have the songs on the CD in the movie...i know it has nothin to do with the topic im just sayin(well, it kinda does)

Zelda · 11-24-2006, 09:22 PM

Make Alexi mute and I'm ALL for Children of Bodom on the soundtrack

I'd be dancing in the aisles!

Yeah, why is that? it's rare that I buy soundtracks, but when I do....and then end up with songs that weren't even in the movie so far as I can tell... what's that about?

CJStyles · 11-24-2006, 10:41 PM

Zelda · 11-29-2006, 06:25 AM

I can see Mikey walking down the street/cruising through the shadows with his brothers and quietly singing Ninja Rap until Raph smacks him. He'd also be a good canditate to have a CD player playing one of the 80s/early 90s songs from the previous movies....or surf rock (...maybe not >_> ) or some kind of really bouncey pop rock (System of a Down? heh).

Draconic · 11-29-2006, 07:55 AM

I think that there should be a variation of music.

I think that some good Japanese Drumming would be good, maybe some heavy traditional Japanese-influenced mellow guitar solo ambiance.. maybe some Mad Capsule Markets (Scary? Pulse?) for a fight scene or two would be awsome.

Oh, and don't forget to throw in some turtle-tunes. I'm liking the idea of T.U.R.T.L.E. Power though.

TMNT · 01-11-2007, 02:21 PM

The TMNT site (http://www.ninjaturtles.com) has posted this information:

"I recently saw the Klaus Badelt, the great composer of "Pirates of the Caribbean: the Curse of the Black Pearl" will be composing the music for the 2007 TMNT movie. This goes along with the interviews I've read about the movie makers attempting to create a recognizable theme for our favorite Turtles. Just thought I'd give a "heads-up" if it hadn't yet been reported."

It's apparently confirmed.

Alexi is a great singer, I love his vocals. I hate that whiny crap those other metal bands do where they have clean vocals. Clean vocals and metal is not cool and never was. People need to realize that and never do it again.

NIN Dark Knight · 01-13-2007, 03:12 PM

There's a new magazine out called 'Rocket' which features Ghost Rider on the cover but has a 4 page spread about TMNT. The interview is with Kevin Munroe and it's pretty enlightening, although most of it is stuff we've heard already. However...

On the last page they are asked about the soundtrack. Munroe replies that 'Panic at the Disco' is featured, then later he mentions 'Green Day', to what's happening now and hip-hop. I'm sorry I don't recall exactly what was said but if anyone can find the magazine it's there. I saw it at Borders earlier.

One thing that really bothered me was in that same reply he mentioned that they had to tone down Marco Beltrami's scrore (Hellboy and T3) because it was 'too dark' for fight scenes and they had to 'lighten it up'. I'm not sure how Klaus' name got linked with the score but Munroe clearly states Beltrami. I just don't want to hear Green Day over a fight scene or that "band" Panic at the Disco...

*Roseangelo* · 01-13-2007, 03:54 PM

First of all, the interview was with the Producer, Tom Gray, not Kevin Munroe.

All of the stuff regarding specific names of bands was simply in reference to the TYPE of music we can expect, not actually who we can expect.

Beltrami is mentioned because the interview took place approx. two months ago, so the score hadn't changed hands yet.

NIN Dark Knight · 01-14-2007, 01:05 AM

Thank God. That's definitely good news to hear, maybe I should have read the introduction before jumping to conclusions about it being Kevin Munroe. I'm glad the score went to Klaus, while I like Beltrami's work on Hellboy, I think Klaus could give it a more epic feel. Let's hope Munroe has enough sense to exnay Green Day (no offense to those of you who like the band).

Raph'N'Roll · 01-16-2007, 03:18 PM

So Marco's not doing the score, that's disapointing, and the reason being because it sounded too dark, oh for god's sake!
I don't like where they're going with this.
Maybe they should unsharpen Leo's Katana's, and make Raph less angry.
Kevin Munroe has stated numerous times that he loved Marco's score.
Klaus Badelt's CV just ain't as impressive, some terrible movies on it.
There goes the brooding atmosphere anyway, GRRRRR!
Well they should get someone else to voice Casey Jones, if they're in a mood for changing things around, why couldn't they get Eilas?
That would have been a great past reference for fans of the original movie.

*Rooish* · 01-16-2007, 03:47 PM

Oh man, that is not good. I personally would be very happy with a soundtrack with no popular music... I mean kids aren't going to care whether they hear Green Day or not. Can you seriously be required to change your musical score to keep it a PG movie? I didn't know music had ratings (unless there's swear words and sexual innuendo and stuff).

Someday... maybe in the TMNT's third wave of popularity (20 years or so from now), maybe we'll get to see a movie with gore and angst and a "dark" soundtrack.
