It might not be the most musical app in the world, but it is really very useful, and beautifully simple too. It uses the vibration in the watch to pulse as a metronome. It’s very simple to use and quite effective. I don’t know how good its timing is, but that’s not a massive deal right now.
Now I’ve seen both, and within only a few weeks of each other, so I think it’s not a bad time to make a comparison.
I have to start with the fact that my preference is unchanged. I think that the original is the best of the two. In fact it is the best by far. Having said that, the remake has some very good qualities in its favour. First off, it is a very true remake. Very little is changed, with the exception of the ending, which, I believe, is much closer to the book. However, I’ve not read the book as yet. When I have there’ll be another comparison of all three.
Where I think the remake went wrong is in three key areas. I’ll explain them shortly. However, for now …
IF YOU HAVE ANY INTENTION OF WATCHING THESE FILMS, PLEASE NOTE THAT THERE ARE SPOILERS FOLLOWING!
I’m glad I’ve seen both and I’m glad I’ve got both. In my opinion they’re both worth watching, but the original will always be the best.
This is a real return to form. I absolutely love it. I shan’t give anything away just in case you’re likely to listen to it, but it is a lovely story and a great one for Romana II to return to. It has the feel of another delightful story, “The Auntie Matter”, which is gorgeous.
If this is setting the tone for this season then I’m going to be very happy indeed.
This was an excellent recommendation, and one I think I might need to get to a few times. I’ve never been to the Musical Museum at Kew Bridge, and up until a few days ago, I’d never even heard of it! It sounds (pun intended) like somewhere I should be very well acquainted with, so my plan is to sort that out very soon.
When I have, expect pictures, over enthusiasm etc!
What a great night out this turned out to be. I really enjoyed seeing this band. The sound was lovely, and atmosphere was fun and pretty lively at time. Ska has never been a big thing for me, but perhaps I should do a little more digging to find out a bit more and do some more listening.
It’s great to be nominated for anything, but this is excellent news, and I had no idea until last week. SoundLab has been nominated in the SEND resource category. I’m glad to say I’m going to be there, both at the expo and also at the awards too.
Please feel free to use them however you see fit. But if you do make anything, then please let me know as I’d be very interested to hear what you make.
