[Visionary]

Is there a direct LINK?

[Afropik]

I think I fixed it.......sorry about that

[Spidey 2007]

EDIT, bahh

[gap5ewl]

that was awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! sooooooo good reminds me of the x2 main theme

[the a1ant]

Cool, I can hear Ottman's main theme in there! That makes me really happy :up:

Is there a direct LINK?


Here ya go:

[ImOverIt]

It kind of sounds like Danny Elfman, eh, a little, still good tho.

[bosef982]

Nothing impressive.

[Spidey 2007]

i cant stand not hearing it all, its terribly great. the last 3 seconds is just amazing and i want to hear that all! my oh my.....

there better... BETTER be an opening sequence that uses that music(i heard otherwise) man...or i will cry.

[the a1ant]

It kinda does in parts. I noticed that!

hey Spidey 2007.....yeah I think the theme is pretty good.

The actual track is only 1 min and 9 sec long.....but I'm gonna see if I can get the WHOLE track for you guys in the next few days (no promises..but I'll for SURE try)

take it easy

[Lightning Strykez!]

Sounds great Afropik. Something new, yet not a vast departure from Ottman's work. And it does have a Spider-manesque feel to it...which is not a bad thing here.

[Spidey 2007]

yes, spiderman is what it reminded more more of, it is elfmans work so yea.... but it still sounds enough like x-men....

[PWN3R]

I really liked....:up:

[SingItWithMeNow]

sounds like that bit in the superman theme, but more edgyer

[TNC9852002]

WOAH... :up:

It didn't really sound like Danny Elfman to me and I've seen:

Charlie and the Chocolate Factory
Spider-Man 2
Big Fish
Hulk
Men in Black II
Spider-Man
Planet of the Apes
Spy Kids
The Family Man
Scream 2
Good Will Hunting
Men in Black
Mars Attacks!
Extreme Measures
The Frighteners
Mission: Impossible
Dead Presidents
Batman Returns
Edward Scissorhands
Darkman
Batman
Beetle Juice AND
Beverly Hills Cop :p

But, I guess that's only because Elfman is the most recognizable composer to compare it to... ;)

-TNC

[TNC9852002]

Nothing impressive.
I don't think anything has impressed you yet, bosef... ;)

I'd like to hear the whole thing, though...

-TNC

[josh8]

it was good, but it didnt blow me away. i'm thinking it didnt reach its cresendo yet, so we havent actually heard the really good part.

[ImOverIt]

wow, that's alot of Elfman themes! I love BeetleJuice, its great. I guess the sound that reminded me of Danny's music is the horns in the backgroud, (arround :20)

[neemer5]

I think this music is absolutely beautiful...it works perfect, its got the right tone...it actually makes me wanna buy the soundtrack :up: ...and I know that sounds a bit ticklish but I think this Powell guy nailed it...lets hope the rest of the movie is as good as his score...Kubric once said...that music can either make or break a movie...and X3's score is just as important as the rest of the film..effects, style, story...the music will help carry the audience the whole way through.

Powell is probably the best talent behind the camera linked to this film (I'm not trying to diss any of the others, btw). He's really going to add to the experience.

[Nell2ThaIzzay]

Sounds pretty good.

Sounds X-Men'y

[TNC9852002]

It actually sounds just a little bit...Just a LITTLE bit like a mix between Kamen's and Ottman's...I dunno if I'm hearing things, but I just can find something in the little sample that reminds me of each one...

-TNC

[the a1ant]

I agree, TNC :up: I'm glad Powell didn't go off into a totally different direction.

[chi-boy]

better than ottman's. have to hear more to see if it's on par with kamen's theme. ottman's sounded amatuerish. powell's sounds exciting.

[Retroman]

I like it. Sounds like a variation of Ottman's theme. Thanks for the download links.

If you want to compare the themes go to this site and listen
http://www.x-mengame.com/

[Spidey 2007]

this theme is real exciting and i dont think it reached its climas so to say, the last bit of the clip is extrodinary......

this music id have to say pumps me up more then the previous ones!!!

[ShakiraRocks]

OOOwww i think it was very good. I love it, I WANT THE WHOLE THING, is it up yet?

[TNC9852002]

*deletes sample clip from hard drive* :p

-TNC

[WorthyStevens]

Nice music sample. Sounded very X-Men'ish'.

And kind of Star Warsish. But maybe that's just me. :p

[Strgts]

Last bit kinda reminded me of the Spider-Man Theme for some reason

[Cyan]

I wonder how Xmenfilms get this sample...

I never complained about X-soundtrack, even I preferring Kamen than Ottman...
I doubt Powell done bulls**t in that one

[Aiden]

That was awesome

[Aiden]

http://www.megaupload.com/?d=OCPAVKEV

For those that can't use rapidshare :up:

[LEX]

Wow.

The theme reminds me of the music in the TAS at the introduction. A lot. Anyway, I liked it. Loved the beats and the pacing. :up:

[Sentinel X]

Kamens X1 score was the best

[flavio_lebeau]

it looks like an Army band with all those drums :p
but its really good, though i dont think it has reached its climax. Good to finally hear something good about the movie...

[Electrix]

Kamens X1 score was the best

I agree.

I like this though :up:

[grey_jeanie]

Rapid share NEVER works for me!! Ahhhh

[LEX]

Oh, listen to this theme on iTunes in a loop. I'm loving this. It sounds very Star Wars-y. :up: Epic.

[Maze]

** if not needed just merge it, Lightning


hey guys

here's a 30 second sample of the MAIN theme from John Powell's X-Men: The Last Stand score

http://rapidshare.de/files/20320164/POWELL_X_MainTitle.mp3.html



i don't like to say it , but i don't like what i can hear there..

it's generic ..

[LEX]

i don't like to say it , but i don't like what i can hear there..

it's generic ..
Care to elaborate?

[Maze]

Well i'm no music critic , but that music do nothing to me : i heard that music one hundreth time and way better , with more inspiration more emotion , elsewhere ..

[LEX]

I'm sorry that you didn't like it. :) Maybe it will be better in the final version. That was just a sample.

[Mister Sinister]

EXTREMELY Batman...

[Maze]

EXTREMELY Batman...
Exactly!

The beginning is very Batman 1 .

[lordofthenerds]

It sounds pretty good, a little too much like Batman.

[Maze]

I'm sorry that you didn't like it. :) Maybe it will be better in the final version. That was just a sample.
Maybe , i hope so anyways l :)

and if that's not the case ..well , again i'm sure that i will find redeeming quality in the entire movie, as i am an Xman fan:) ( but after a first vision , i will judge it fairly )

[LEX]

Anyone got a MP3 link to the Batman theme song?

[Phoenix_Rising]

Sorry Maze but you talk a load of ****! I'm a musician and I will tell you now that theme is in no way generic. I mean the temp music in the Danger room scene that was generic, this theme really takes ideas from Kamen and Ottman and I think it's going to be great in the movie along with the rest of the soundtrack. The first set of chords are identical to the Ottman theme and I really think powell has captured the epic feel of the X-men movies so I am definitely going to be buying the X3 soundtrack and look forward 2 hearing all of his wonderful music on May 26th!

[LEX]

Glad to hear something positive from a musician. Thanks. :up:

[WideAwake]

Sounds good! :up:
X2's theme was more dynamic than that of X1, and this theme seems to set this forth, like how over the three movies the conflict intensifies.

[Secret_Riddle]

*edit*

[_BB_]

Have to agree that the last bit does sound like a batman theme but i love this sample, very epic, must hear the whole thing now!!

[LEX]

The main theme is amazing. I've been listening to it 132 times on iTunes now. :up:

[Maze]

Musician or not you are going to calm dow and respect the opinion of others
that's understood?

i know a lot of musician , you know and they find the work of Powell often generic.

anyways , that said , that's my feeling there period.

[LEX]

Have to agree that the last bit does sound like a batman theme but i love this sample, very epic, must hear the whole thing now!!
Agreed.

Someone hack into Powell's computer and get it, quick!

[phoenix_force]

Love It My New Phone Ring Tone!

[xwolverine2]

jesus that was SWEEEEET!!!

[xwolverine2]

oh god!!!...i hope the rest of the movie has music as awesome as this!...

10days until the soundtrack!!!... so is the opening credits this long?

[chi-boy]

The music is exciting, but if that's the theme I'm kinda dissapointed. Sounds... generic.

[xwolverine2]

this theme is pure genius... its like a john williams/dannyelfman hybrid:up:

[grey_jeanie]

I love it. It suits the tone of the movie.

Like X2 was like a fanfare to tie in with the theme of X-men UNITED - proud and like a rallying trumpet in those old fashioned war films.

This one is gritty and dramatic, just like X3 hopefully will be

[LEX]

this theme is pure genius... its like a john williams/dannyelfman hybrid:up:
Yeah. There was a bit of Williams thrown in, too. :up:

NO JAR-JAR TALK IN HERE!:down :down

[Boba_Fett_123]

i did say williams

I think he was agreeing with you. ;)

This is really great. To those who are saying it's "generic", go buy Ottman's X2 score, and see what "generic" really is. If the IGN clips are anything to go by, along with this sample, then I think Powell's score will be much more in line with Kamen's, and that can only be a good thing.:up: I hope we hear something along the lines of "Logan and Rogue" at some point; I absolutely ADORE that track.

[xwolverine2]

i cant wait to see the images on screen go with that theme!

[Rac]

NO JAR-JAR TALK IN HERE!:down :down "Everybody hates you Jar Jar. But I love you." -Comic-Book Guy :D

lol!! wtf??

[Rac]

lol!! wtf??From Simpsons. I don't remember from what episode though.

[OncomingStorm]

That was pure power. I still wish Rising Empire were the main theme. I wish Powell could have found a way to sneak it into his score somehow...?

[Coreo]

I liked it, but X2's was better IMO. When it first starts, it sounds like something in a Star Wars movie. Sounds a lil batman-ish too.

[xwolverine2]

From Simpsons. I don't remember from what episode though.
oh yeah!! now i remember...LOL!

That was pure power. I still wish Rising Empire were the main theme. I wish Powell could have found a way to sneak it into his score somehow...?
lol!!.. then they get sued:)

[OncomingStorm]

lol!!.. then they get sued:)
They can ask first! lol :( right?

[tamron]

I'm digging it. I agree with whoever said it reminds them of the TAS theme. I played them back to back, and he definitely got a little inspiration from that. Can't wait to hear the whole score.

[chi-boy]

micheal kamen did the cartoon theme and the music for the first movie. his score contained the best themes. this new score sounds exciting, leaps over bounds better than ottman's.

[Spidey 2007]

i cant wait to see the images on screen go with that theme!

lol if there is any! im really hopign they included opening credits, instead of just homo flashbacks...

[ororoandme]

i like it....but nothing that stands out...but then again the only music i liked from X2 was "Storm's Perfect Storm"

[Asteroid-Man]

it sounds like batman. They shouldve atleast put a bit of the original theme from X1 and 2

[xwolverine2]

lol if there is any! im really hopign they included opening credits, instead of just homo flashbacks...
if theres not then what the hell is the music so big for?:confused:

[Spidey 2007]

if theres not then what the hell is the music so big for?:confused:

well some early reviews state that there is no Prof x vioce over... which rally bugs teh holy **** out of me. and the flashbacks are before any kind of credits, i hope we get good opening titles at least :( i do love that music damnit ****....

[xwolverine2]

yeah but.....there has to be a title that says"x3" ...so this song could be there

[Backdrifter]

Meh. It it sounds exciting an all, but only because it is blaringly loud. It is, however, a vast improvement over Ottman's crap. I dunno, I am just glad Ottman is not back. The clip does not really give us much to work with other than the score is going to be big and loud.

[Backdrifter]

And for all of you that are somehow hearing the X2 theme.. you are not. This theme is very generic. The brass sounds more like THe Incredibles theme, to me.

[Spidey 2007]

cant wait, im def, buying the soundtrack, will indeed pump me up more! :up:

[MaskedManJRK]

Actually, it sounds more like a blend of Elfman and Williams to me. :o

Pretty good stuff. :up:

bathroom titles... same thing, lol like it was said before there will be flashbacks then credits... bathroom titles are the opening credits :up:

[Aiden]

They were all amazing

[Maze]

I think he was agreeing with you. ;)

This is really great. To those who are saying it's "generic", go buy Ottman's X2 score, and see what "generic" really is.

i have the Ottman score ,the score overall was not great , but i loved the main theme , and from what i hear it is way better than that imo..

That said , aboit Kamen score , forgetting the the main theme who was quite poor , i loved Malicia and Rogue and also the mystique theme.

Ps: you are in no position to say that your opinion is better than others
cool it.

[xwolverine2]

bathroom titles... same thing, lol like it was said before there will be flashbacks then credits... bathroom titles are the opening credits :up:
WHEN THE HELL HAS BATHROOM MEANT OPENING?!?:confused: :confused: :confused: LMAO!!!!!!

ugh, this score ain't so great. it's too bombastic. you guys are just overreacting cuz' it's new.

its true!!!:eek: :up:

thanks, but I bet you liked ottman's score so that says a whole lot about taste. :up: :)

[Spidey 2007]

thanks, but I bet you liked ottman's score so that says a whole lot about taste. :up: :)

ottmans score was fantastic, and one of the best superhero scores around! actuallylisten to different tracks then the main theme and youll realize this! :up: :)

[chi-boy]

ottmans score was fantastic, and one of the best superhero scores around! actuallylisten to different tracks then the main theme and youll realize this! :up: :)

i own the soundtrack, and it was one of the worst investments i've ever made. it sounds like a poor man's danny elfman. the themes are simplistic and childish, but if that's what floats your boat, then so be it. :)

[Phoenix_Rising]

Hey guys,

Lovin the music John Powell's composed for this film, it's epic and very consistent with the previous X-men film scores. I really think music is gonna be one of the aspects of the film that will make it so brilliant! Track 1 by the way sounds like the Phoenix theme at the end because we hear that in the clip with Jean levitating the cars- this theme strongly reminds me of the Phoenix theme from X2 and the Wolverine/Jean love theme as well and I really like how Powell has kept faithful to Ottman and Kamen's work so rock on Powell and I can't w8 til May 26th!

[Backdrifter]

I agree with Chi-Boy. X2's score is amature at best. The X3 score is better, at least it sounds like it is right now, but it seems a tad over the top. Kamen understood X-Men better than anyone, as far as music is concerned.

[OncomingStorm]

The music sounds like it belongs with a romantic epic period film more than a comic book epic...

[LoGaN's RuNNer]

this theme is real exciting and i dont think it reached its climas so to say, the last bit of the clip is extrodinary......

this music id have to say pumps me up more then the previous ones!!!
Sounds fantastic! Getting me more pumped for this movie!

[spider_man_2]

This clip seriously reminds me of the score for the original Batman movie... I'm not sure that's a good thing :confused:

[Electrix]

I like this :up:

Cant really judge much as there's only 5 of them and 30 seconds each but I like what I hear!

[LEX]

This song is addicting. I've been listening to it 540 times now. Genius! :up:

[halfapple]

kinda just "plain" to me - I guess tho with the action on the screen it might be exciting /shrug.

[JDD]

I think it sounds good.

[xwolverine2]

ive heard it a million times now.......

[Spidey 2007]

ive heard it a million times now.......

need......longer........sample........actually.... ..need......the......whole......thing......

[deemar325]

The theme sounds pretty good. I still like X1 score better.

[Spidey 2007]

i feel comfortable talking about this theme :up:

[BatJeff7786]

How does the x1 theme sound? I can't remember? Can I hear a sample somewhere?

[Spidey 2007]

How does the x1 theme sound? I can't remember? Can I hear a sample somewhere?

watch the end credits to X1.... and or the X-jet scene.

*lightning strikes speedballlives*

lol..j/k

though john williams and danny elfman have been getting repetative lately:( :( :(

[realestmutant45]

I Like POwElls version OF the Theme.

[zanos]

I swear the majority of comic book themes are garbage including this.

[Spidey 2007]

*jack Black voice*

wroong

[Fanticon]

I like what I hear...I like most of what I've heard from the score except all the use of vocals and choir...both movies had 'em but these choir vocals are sounding like christmas carol-ers or Elfman like.

But yeah the theme sounds pretty damn good...I think I was the only one who didn't like the X2 main title opening theme all that much...but other music in the X2 score is brilliant...like when Bobby makes the ice-wall that separates Wolverine and Stryker...good stuff...

I'm really looking forward to the X3 score...I'm thinking of buying it...but not even Amazon is offering it for pre-orders yet...just another mystery like the running time.

[theJust]

it was an interesting piece of music during the cyclops/wolvie scene (the solo one, just released)
but i found it distracting in the other scenes. like it seems almost unecessary.
just seems like a score to have a score, nothing exceptional about it.
the X2 theme was brilliant, very moving.

[By your Command]

I dont know if anyone posted this already, but here are more samples.

http://hans-zimmer.com/fr/disco_detail.php?id=596

To tell the truth i'm scared of seeing anything on the 1 page, i've crossed my eyes to find this thread without reading the GIGA-spoilers that are being disscused, but anyway there are 5 sample songs from the soundtrack for the ones that haven't heard anything yet (i really have to see the movie to GET the soundtrack, so far the music sounds a lot like everything John Powell has made with little influences of John Williams, and the bridge scene sounds like a little bit like Danny Elfman, who's one of my favourite composers, so all in all it sounds like a very promising soundtrack)

[xwolverine2]

8days!

[Spidey 2007]

cant ****ing get enough of sample 3.... damn its epic...

[DarknessOfDeath]

Whens the Soundtrack coming out again?

[icekid]

cant ****ing get enough of sample one.... damn its epic...
i like #5 the best:up:

you get hyped by # 3 tho...? after all the rambling about 15 seconds in it blows you away...! like omgz X-mEn jump1ng from tteh jet... omg!!11!1!!.. etc.. lol

[Backdrifter]

Kicks John Williams' Ass
45 time Oscar nominee John Williams? Uh, sure, pal. :down

[xwolverine2]

45 time Oscar nominee John Williams? Uh, sure, pal. :down
did you actually look that up:rolleyes:

[Backdrifter]

did you actually look that up:rolleyes:
John Williams can write better music with his farts. Not saying this is bad. But that comment was just plain silly. This music is exciting, but Williams is the best. I actually knew that fact because of his recent nominations (nominated twice this year for Geisha and Munich). He is the second most nominated person in history next to Walt Disney with 59.

[Optic Rage]

Just heard the main theme..and im not fond of it..sounds very batmanish..and the above ones sounds like they belong in Star wars.

I liked the main theme from X2 ALOT more...

[Fanticon]

I really like number 3...this sounds fantastic...Why hasn't amazon.com opened up pre-orders for this yet?!
this is almost better than seeing new clips...the music is really that good:)

no, it DOESNT sound very batmanish, your getting batman confused with superman. it sounds nothing like batman.

[Spidey 2007]

uck, sample 3 is the best... not 1, lol what was i thinking.....

3 is the best, imo.

[Backdrifter]

I agree with him.

[eXperiment]

23rd i think

Yes, I think so.

[grey_jeanie]

I really like it, not as much as John Ottman's though, even though it is reminiscent of it.

Again i don't know if this has been posted cause i've been in "Stop reading spoilers no matter what" mode, but i just heard the new samples in:
http://cinemusicnet.blogspot.com/2006/05/hot-x-preview-at-cinemusic.html

The new Jean theme it's amazing and John Powell is a freaking genius (it just sounds great, sad, inspiring in Whirlpool of love) great great theme, and the main theme is also really growing in me. I'm buying.

[DarknessOfDeath]

omg...there are new samples? I wanna hear em. but where? :o

hmm, I do like the Phoenix Rises one and I like the little touches of electronica(something X2 lacked). But so far I kinda like it.:up: Not really too sure about the main theme though.:O

[bosef982]

Interesting music. Hm...not sure I like the Attack of Alcatraz since it contains the Superman riff theme in the very beginning underlying the rest.

The Dark Phoenix Tragedy doesn't sound that sad at al, haha.

wow, all these samples sound...good! I'm kinda surprised as I didn't think anything could be as good as Ottman's X2 theme and here we have one that, when i get used to it, maybe easily as good or better. Soundtrack purchase is an go for me.:up:

lol, the attack on alcatraz sample starts off like the superman theme does

[Lightning Strykez!]

Okay I think the "Dark Phoenix's Tragedy" clip is actually mistitled. That clip makes me want to do a little jig, not mourn. I think the site has it mixed up...at least I hope it does. :(

Everything else sounds beautiful though!

[rashad]

lol...I turned my speakers up to hear that main theme bump! Sounds great. I can't wait to hear it in the theaters.

Wow, thanks :up:, where did you get that from?

[chi-boy]

thanks for the clip afropik.. kind of a dissapointment, if that is the opening titles music. Why can't composers nowadays keep an exciting peice going, why must they end it so aruptly these days? IF that is the main theme, that's a big downer, in that it really isn't a theme, just your typical background rises that are indistiguishable from one movie to the next. What happened to great, memorable themes like Williams and Poledouris used to do back in the day? Film scoring is a lost art. :down

[xwolverine2]

JESUS CHRIST!!! THAT SCORE WAS AWESOME!!!

all the four clips were SO giant and epic!!....that last oneso was slick and cool!the pheonix rising one sounded very ancient/arabian and stuff...

god i cant wait to get the dam soundtrack!!

[xwolverine2]

did anyone like the music in the mystique clip right when she grabs the guy by the neck....

that was a sweet little theme!

nodoubt, i think this is one soundtrack im getting first day... ive always gotten soundtracks after i see the film but damn... this is good.

[Spidey 2007]

it hink another reason i love it alot, is because i set my expectations way low... never thinking it would out due ottmans amazing score... but alas... overall... i think it may do that! :up: which is MORE then i hoped for!

[SPider-T0rch]

where are u guys listening to the clips? i dont plan on downloading i just wannaa hear the samples. links?

i would love to see how "bathroom titles" fits into the movie....

this soundtrack has a little of every superhero movie score but with its own unique twist...:up:

[xwolverine2]

s***!! i cant stop listening to the clips!:o

im addicted!:o

[Kazaire]

Music is one of those important factors that can make or break a movie. Take Lord of the Rings for example: Good movie, but with the music that it had, Great Movie. And these clips all feel so "epic". Easily already one of my most favorite scores from any movie. Props to the musicians on this one. (Seeing as how I'm one myself :D) :up:

How does the x1 theme sound? I can't remember? Can I hear a sample somewhere?
Sure plenty here

Its darker,futuristic, and more tragic, fits Xmen mood better imo :up:

[chi-boy]

his pheonix theme is freaky. i like it. 10x better than ottman's crap.

powell i starting to impress me. i like "the last stand" track.

magneto's theme wasn't half bad either. it pissed me off when ottman didn't continue any of them, and instead replaced them with his cheesy made for tv crap. kamen's themes would sound great on a bigger scale, too bad he never got the chance.

where?

[kingdaywalker]

hmmm... i dont really like it as much as the first two scores. of course these are samples and i havent seen them in the movie, but i dont really care for this score. sounds almost arabian... weird. not bad enough to ruin the movie, but i had definitely hoped for something better. of course final judgement will be held 'til after the movie.

[chi-boy]

Maybe it was...maybe he was getting sick and decided to retire early

i read that ottman was supposed to do the first one (he's singer's buddy composer) but was too busy. ottman was actually supposed to rescore it for the special edition, but i dunno why they dropped that. good thing he didn't.

they usually do that to make a character seem unique and exotic. IMO, it usually comes off as cliche, but I don't think it's too bad here. It freaks me out.

no way thats 7min

Yeah, Spidey 2007 is right. That song is definitely 7 minutes long . . . it's a really long theme song.

[Fanticon]

after listening to the full version to theme...in the first 20seconds there is softer eerie music playing...this seems like a perfect spot for Xavier's narration...I can't believe they wouldn't continue that...seems like a minor request...you write 20 seconds of dialogue for Stewart and get him in a booth and record it...and say "hey, we forgot...we needed you to come record this opening narration like in the other movies"
anyway give it a listen and try to imagine it...it just seems to make sense.

[tamron]

I'm surprised so many are surprised it's good. John Powell is great. I had no fears as far as the score as soon as he was announced.

If you all like his stuff on this movie, you owe it to yourself to check out Powell's work on Bourne Supremacy, Italian Job and Mr. & Mrs. Smith. Regardless of what you may think of those films, his scores for them were absolutely fantastic.

Suite From X2 is a suite, its not an actual track fromt he film..it is several cues from the film written together into one long track. The main titles are not long at all. Maybe a minute and a half or so...

can anyone tell me where i can listen to the music that is at the end of the 13th tv spot?????

[ororoandme]

The LAst Stand is my favourite
very inspiring...feels very comic bookish to me :)
I wonder if Ororo will have a little theme of her own, she did for both X1 and X2. In X1 u can hear it when she flies out of the elevator and when she causes the fog to cover the X-Jet and the snow storm. In X2 u hear it when she creates the tornadoes...very cool :)
