It is interesting to try to imagine this music being etched into me
-
Stand alone, the music's fine. Kubrick never intended to use North's score anyway, and it was the right choice, but this is damn fine music in its own right.
-
I think it is very good too, however the final with "thus speaks zarahustra" is much more "phylosohpical" or "transcendental", like as the whole movie.
-
Very interesting editing you did! Congrats!
I had already listened to excerpts of this score, but separated from the film.
Kubrick was totally right to dump this soundtrack.
2001 would not be the same film with this music. It is all messy and disturbs the flowing of the images.

Thank you for doing this. The result is totally different. "Look at how desolate this savanna is--woah; so gloomy, so eerie," the music seems to shout. Wow. Thanks. Also, where's the subtlety in interpretation?
-
Good score for what it is...but the music Kubric used was transcendent.
-
I'm Spartacus.
Sounds like it, anyway. I laughed long and hard at this.
-
Boy, they dodged a bullet on this one.
-
According to the story, Alex was left in the dark about Kubrick's intentions. Since it didn't matter how well this score meshed with the final vision, Alex wasn't given much direction from Kubrick. Of course it's wrong.

The Alex North score seems to keep the film in the 60s -70s, while Kubricks final choice makes the movie timeless.

You're so right. Alex North was a great composer, but this music is totally wrong. Way too bombastic. I keep expecting Roman warriors in chariots to come sweeping over the horizon.
