    Arpy got a reaction from bollemanneke in Harry Potter - The John Williams Soundtrack Collection 7CD boxset from La-La Land Records (2018)   
    I've never understood the ignore function. It's like closing your eyes and covering your ears and going lalalalaland hoping the humans will leave you alone.
     
    Anyhow, I'm so eager to read the booklets and see all the artwork in person, I was hoping for a more extensive look in LLL's site other than the one spread we've seen.

    Arpy got a reaction from bollemanneke in HOOK (1991) - NEW! 2023 3-CD Ultimate Edition Produced, Edited, and Mastered by Mike Matessino featuring all Williams/Bricusse songs   
    Instant order! So glad I held out for this instead of going bankrupt over the earlier edition. Haven't been this excited since the Potter release!

    One thing is for sure: Kate Capshaw was already seeing Spielberg's "willie" when they were filming the movie

    Arpy reacted to Jurassic Shark in Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom appreciation thread (film & score)   
    Such a great film, with such a great score. Okay, the film may have untypical pacing, but that's part of its charm and uniqueness. When it fires, it fires on all cylinders. From the fantastic opening escape to the mine car chase and resolution on the bridge, it's pure fun.
     
    I was thinking about perhaps the most implausible sequence - the falling raft - after reading some negative takes on it. And I have to say it's never bothered me. It's an exhilarating escape and I have no problem accepting the implausability of it, unlike the nuked fridge of Crystal Skull.

    lots of interesting stuff going on at the tail end of Centuries Join Hands
     
    great cue!
     
    also nothing has changed this opinion:
     
    To Athens is the greatest cue in an Indy film since The Last Crusade end credits.

    Arpy got a reaction from Yavar Moradi in Disney Emporium releases Indiana Jones: The Complete CD Collection (Expected ship date is March 27, 2024.) No new expansions - Includes the previous Concord Records programmes plus KotCS and DoD OSTs   
    In today's corporate-driven era of content creation, the marketability and ease of throwing content out to make an abundance of paraphernalia and memorabilia, it baffles me that these corporate giants can't or won't go the extra mile to actually give people (who I should add are willing to pay whatever) what they want and produce actual expansions. What are they worried about? Clearly they don't care that collectors already have this material...
     
    In short, Disney should use its capitalistic might and go all-out - actual gold leaf embossed covers, the finest cotton papers in the booklets, posters, collectors cards, every second of recorded music and even the recordings of people still mic'd up when they're taking a shit - EVERYTHING!

    Arpy got a reaction from Tydirium in New details on Williams / Ross Dial Of Destiny collaboration via new LA Times article by Tim Greiving   
    I can't tell you how my heart sunk when I heard all these other cues ripped from other scores, but the more I think over it, the more likely I think it wasn't Williams' choice; it's the editor and Mangold going through Williams' past scores and going 'right, this fits here perfectly and that's that'.

    Because we all know the agonising helplessness of waiting years for expansions to scores and will probably still be waiting until we're dead.
     
    Anyone can create their own curated listening experience, but they can't make new music appear out of thin air.
     
    Television scores always get a bum treatment because there simply is not the budget to release twelve or however many episodes there are in a season as scores. I'm still weeping that there are so many lovely cues from Murray Gold's Doctor Who scores that will likely never see the light of day. 
    Just like Doctor Who, The Mandalorian score releases have a handful of cues from each episode and it leaves you wondering why there isn't more because they've gone to the effort to produce an album, but at the same time, composers and producers are making cuts to make these things marketable in under 2 discs. The whole thing is fucked.
