  1. Dulcima Records is planning to release Johnny Douglas’ music for the Dungeons and Dragons animated series later this year. The Transformers album that was previously issued on LP will also be re-released digitally as part of the 40th anniversary.
  2. Brian Herbert and Kevin J. Anderson were both Executive Producers and 'script consultants' for Villeneuve's films, but yes, their books are indeed awful. I expect the upcoming Sisterhood TV series to be similarly risible!
  3. The editing shouldn't come as a surprise - they had a *lot* of time and money to record. Ignoring the trims made for the album, there are countless performance edits throughout the scores. The divergence between 'album' and 'film' versions likely came about as a result of differing digital workflows and tools (and Shore's personal preferences in some cases). In the case of Return of the King, recording continued well into November 2003, long after the album had to be finalised.
  4. Well, now you do, and knowing is half the battle!
  5. Howard Shore is scoring David Cronenberg's The Shrouds. Michael Giacchino may be concentrating on pre-production of Them! Alexandre Desplat scored the first three episodes HBO's The Regime (with Alex Heffes scoring the final three).
  6. It's an excellent performance let down by technical issues that mar a few tracks. I can live with the artefacts, but they really shouldn't be there. I'll defer to @thx99 for a more detailed explanation:
  7. True. Archival and re-recording are in no way analogous. Do not get me started on this one!
  8. Yes - incorrect takes (Just an Oasis), incorrect assembly of takes (My First Bus Ride - neither version on the Intrada release is correct) and everything recorded in LA sounds like a rough mix. With a few exceptions, it duplicates the sound and content of one of bootlegs. Thankfully it does not have any egregious phasing like Goldsmith's The Mummy (which also has incorrect takes in a few spots - Night Boarders for one).
  9. According to this article - https://variety.com/2005/scene/awards/the-malick-conundrum-1117933724/ I've not seen anything else to verify that.
  10. Horner had a busy Summer that year! Flightplan recorded in July and The New World in August.
  11. Howard Shore's The Lighting of the Beacons from The Return of the King - the first piece recorded on the first day of the sessions.
  12. The Forgotten is almost all synth, piano and solo violin. It's a little bland and lacking in memorable thematic material. The Life Before Her Eyes from 2008 is similar but better.
  13. Horner (RIP) was involved in the 2009 releases, hence the ‘album style’ programmes. I don’t know what’s missing from this one, but Honey, I Shrunk The Kids left out a few fun cues. The first generation masters of Journey of Natty Gann were missing. I believe the Intrada release utilised an unreleased album master and additional cues from secondary sources in Horner’s own archive. Incidentally, Something Wicked This Way Comes was an early digital recording, using the same technology as The Black Hole and Star Trek II - there’s only one machine left capable of playing it!
