Episode 7 - Remastered!

Broken Chair Scores

This is 2023 and for whatever reason I'm having some time at my hands so I'm remastering the old episodes. This means re-inserting all the music taken from proper sources and other minor tweaks to make it better. The original music was just recorded as played in the room from some shitty PC speakers. I went into the master and put the tracks in properly. I also tweaked some other parameters of the audio and converted it to mono as should always be the case for podcasts. The original ep was uploaded in 2015.
For this one in particular I'd like to mention that the new show is longer than the original cut because I included the tracks in their entirety without voice-over first before following this up with the version from the original recording since we apparently used to talk over the music in 2015 which was dropped in later episodes and I wanted to present both the original track in pure form and the voice-over one.
Here is the original description:
Broken Chair Scores Episode 7 is us paying tribute to the recently deceased James Horner. He was one of the three masters of my personal film music history (Jerry and John being the other two Js). He gave us so many awesome soundtracks. I'm actually really sad that he is no longer with us and there won't be new material. May he rest in peace. In this episode we talk about the soundtrack to the 1997 James Cameron film "Titanic" as well as the soundtrack to the 1995 Joe Johnston film "Jumanji". We chose Titanic because it is super well known and just a great example of James' potential when it gets emotional. I went for Jumanji because it was one of my first and most listened to soundtracks when I was a child so I have some very personal emotional bond to this score.

Enjoy!
