That’s the worst thing to happen to John Williams’ music since that Star Was disco album in ’77.
That was amazing.
Disco sucks.
Hm
Massively dislike.
Well that had to be turned off pretty quick. Yuck!
What a piece of garbage. They could have got experimental with this album, put in IDM/trip hop influences and made it feel like another universe. Each of the producers could have sat down and thought “I wonder what music from a nightclub in another galaxy would sound like” and got in the zone to create something special – but it all came out as second rate techno crap.
Perfect summation for the lack of creativity present in electronic music today. Screw you Rick Rubin, stick to rap.
what is it with ricks screwing everything up? 😉
Fuck you Rick Berman!
You must be listening to the wrong electronic music because there’s tons of creativity in EDM now. Especially from Flying Lotus’ Brainfeeder outfit.
I really tried to be open minded about this but I have to say this is utter trash. I don’t care too much for techno music in the first place, so I’m biased in that aspect. Either way never going to dishonor Star Wars by playing that crud again.
I had a feeling it was going to be a techno remix that’s why I didn’t play it.
So it seems now that hollywood started using the good techno like Trent Reznor in Social Network and Daft Punk in Tron, they’re expanding to include the sh#t as well
Rick Rubin, huh? LucasFilm doesn’t fuck around.
Well… Tron this isn’t 😛
Oh well I forgive not everything being amazing when it comes to Star Wars. More importantly… why oh why is it 8 minutes long! I didn’t completely hate it during 1:54 to 4:17…
Cocktails In The Cantina for the 21st century.
Just listened, Sounds more like one of the lesser Sega Genesis game soundtracks that came out after everyone stopped caring about the system.
never heard of them
This will send John Williams to his grave.
