Watched Aliens on the UHD disc last night. Great fun, although the picture could use more grit. Somehow, it makes some of the visuals look wonkier. Karol

Gil Shaham's strikes me as to most devilish. I always appreciated the ferocious energy. I do like the Mutter version, it's one of the better suites Williams wrote for her. And the latestvone is nice, too. Karol

I also thought the second Black Panther movie was better. All you need to do is remove Riri Williams and Martin Freeman subplots and it's much leaner. I appreciate the more earnest tone than other Marvel movies. All the female characters were the best part of the original and, for obvious and sad reasons, they get to do even more here. Sadly, we never got to see Angela Bassett as Storm but at least here we get her to show her presence. Always admired her talents. The first one felt bit undercooked. They waste way too much time with Andy Serkis (who us there only because of Age of Ultron) and Killmonger story feels bit rushed as a result. It feels like it should have been a bigger deal and T’Challa should have been challenged more as a character. I really liked Chadwick Boseman but his character felt more interesting in Civil War.

Good film or not, I hope Varese will release the expanded soundtrack this year for the 25th anniversary. Karol

Funny thing @Jay. Mine arrived literally just now and there was no shipping notice at all. 😂 Can't wait to dig in. 😀 Karol

Still, I wouldn't be at all be surprised to see this out later this year. Whether it would contain anything non-Elfman, well, that's another matter. Karol

Mine too. Karol

Ooh have you ever received any shipping notification? Karol

And the original. Karol

I looked at the files but will not read until I receive a hard copy. Anyone received their LLL discount vouchers? Karol

Listened to this three times in the past few days. It is terrific, definitely one of the best recent film score albums out there. It is really listenable all the way through, even during the more ambient sections of the score suite. Liner notes by Jeff Bond are also fascinating to read. Good stuff. Karol

Fantastic. I haven't got this one. Karol

I am listening to the CD right now. Quite surprised to see a thick booklet with very extensive liner notes. Quite cool. The music itself is very delicious. Yiung is on fire lately. Oh wait, wrong thread. I meant to comment on The Piper. 😂 Karol

Yes, you're right. There does not seem to be a section dedicated to music! How odd. Karol

I bought from the UK Square-Enix store. Karol
