Oh woops my bad

[Faleel]

Perhaps Thundercats probably was what MV was referring to the "magical place" comment.

[Jason LeBlanc]

Interestingly, the Thundercats post has been removed from LLL's Facebook

[filmmusic]

Yes, I just saw that too.
Strange! Maybe they deleted the post because it started being swamped by comments of people who were asking of the old Thundercats score? there were already a couple yesterday..

A WALK IN THE CLOUDS
MUSIC BY MAURICE JARRE
LLLCD 1199
LIMITED EDITION OF 2000 UNITS
RETAIL PRICE: $19.98

PRODUCED BY NICK REDMAN AND MIKE MATESSINO
MIXED AND MASTERED BY MIKE MATESSINO
LINER NOTES BY JULIE KIRGO
ART DIRECTION BY DAN GOLDWASSER

For this Valentine’s Day, La-La Land and 20th Century Fox get their romance on by releasing an expanded version for the Golden Globe award winning score to A WALK IN THE CLOUDS.

Maurice Jarre fashioned one of his most beautiful and powerful scores to the 1995 hit film starring Keanu Reeves and Anthony Quinn. The Alfonso Arau directed romantic tale is set against the vineyard back drop of a post WWII Napa Valley where a soldier falls in love with an unwed, pregnant Mexican-American woman. The lush, almost fairy tale visuals of cinematographer Emmanuel Lubezki provide the perfect images for Jarre to compose music that speaks to the heart. Filled with sweeping, colorful themes, this newly expanded edition clocks in at 72 minutes, doubling the running time of previous releases. Julie Kirgo takes the listeners behind the scenes of the film and its music while Dan Goldwasser’s art direction shows off just how beautiful the film looks.

Both cds go on sale next Tuesday, February 14, 2012 at 1 pm PST atwww.lalalandrecords.com

Sound clips, track listings and cover art will be posted then.

What better way to say BE MINE than by picking up the music of Apes and Keanu for a loved one?

[crocodile]

Definitely getting Planet of the Apes, especially at this price.

Karol

[Drax]

I'm hooked on this score.

[Incanus]

I'm hooked on this score.

I knew it! It is another clever hint that Hook is coming soon!!!

[filmmusic]

ok, planet of the apes is 3 cds..
Breakdown was 3 cds..

IF Hook is a 2 cd, well... no comment....

[Trent Bennett]

$20 for a 3-CD set? That definitely is a nice price. I wonder what the 3rd disc is... perhaps Disc 1 and 2 is the complete score with Disc 3 being the OST and alternates?

[OneBuckFilms]

Apes is $29.98. Discs 1 and 2 are the complete score+alternates, Disc 3 is the OST album.

Ooooh, I want.

[Trent Bennett]

Oh oops okay the other score is $20. Well still $30 for a 3-CD set is still a good price.

[Jason LeBlanc]

MV's blurb already said exactly what is on each disc.

this comprehensive set contains the film score, source cues and alternates on discs one and two and the 2001 Soundtrack Album on disc three

[fommes]

Great news!

[airmanjerm]

So now LLL has posted (on Facebook) a link to buy the "Hook" Blu-Ray on Amazon.

Maybe just toying with all the people who posted "I can't believe it's not Hook" comments on their Planet of the Apes/Walk in the Clouds announcement.

[publicist]

Breakdown was 3 cds..

IF Hook is a 2 cd, well... no comment....

LLL is bound by some strange contract stuff with Sony. It's not that they are desperate to release 3 CD's of stuff like POTA.

[John Crichton]

MV sure is loving playing with everyone on the Hook thing. I approve.

Apes is slightly tempting. Never been a huge Elfman fan but I've been getting more and more into Batman recently.

[Jason LeBlanc]

Both of his Batman scores are really awesome. Check out his recent Cirque De Soleil CD called "Iris" as well

[tharpdevenport]

If I had a job and money to justget CD's randomly, I'd skip the POTA and get the Jarre.

[Wojo]

I bought the POTA OST for $1 six months ago and haven't listened to it. I have a week to do my homework. But I certainly like "most beautiful and powerful" Jarre.

[indy4]

PotA has some wonderfully inventive cues (i.e. "Main Title" and "The Hunt"), but as a whole the score bores me.

[Stefancos]

Cant take your atonal scores?

[indy4]

Cant take your atonal scores?

Planet of the Apes isn't atonal...

[Koray Savas]

Goldsmith's is, Elfman's most certainly is not.

[indy4]

Yup, and we're talking about Elfman's. Pay attention Stefan!

[Wojo]

He might hold the Goldsmith nearer to his heart. "There is no comparison."

[lonzoe]

I think Elfman's POTA score rivals Goldsmith's original , imo. And I'm not kidding. I enjoy them both equally.

[publicist]

PS: since yesterday, LLL's facebook page innocously advertises HOOK's blu-ray release.

Cruel tease or shape of things to come?

Both I think.

[SF1_freeze]

They can't be THAT cruel... Hook has to come finally

[indy4]

Does LLL usually post links to cheap Blu Rays on Facebook? If not, then I'd say we can expect Hook soon.

[Koray Savas]

It's a first.

[indy4]

Under a post that wished JW a happy birthday, LLL made this comment:

Wouldn't today be the perfect today for someone to announce an expanded Hook?

[E.T. & Elliott]

I've been thinking that if it happens, it will only be expanded, not complete.

[tharpdevenport]

I'm enjoying this movie, "Flail Hard: With A Vengeance".

[Trent Bennett]

I would not be surprised if it's a tie into the inevitable complete release for the score.

[tharpdevenport]

Over here there's only four hours of "today" left.

[Miles Prower]

Has MV ever announced something ahead of schedule? (Aside from other people leaking titles and him going "Yeah, we're doing that")

EDIT: Don't get me wrong, I know he's joking, it's just a question.

[tharpdevenport]

I think there were a few times; because stuff was leaked and he confirmed it, so that's a sort of "announcement", and I think there was a batch of two announced early for various reasons (holidays or some such). I don't really recall now.

[indy4]

It's February 10th in America, I'm sure this was just meant to increase anticipation even more for the eventual announcement.
