I love how shady it feels to keep it unsearchable, to be like, "Those in the know will find it! Everyone else has to get it on eBay for astronomical prices or buy our astronomically-priced box set!"

If I had to criticize, that is the one mixing choice I didn't agree with on the release. On past releases it was much more balanced at that part. I suppose they were trying to match the film mix more but it just doesn't work for me.

Interesting! I sent an email to clarify. We'll see what they say! But you're probably right. Damn, I want a piano demo haha.

Speaking of Godzilla, looks like there is a new re-release of the Godzilla David Arnold score from BuySoundtrax? Like before, it is a 3-CD set. But the Bonus Tracks on the page listing seem to have 2 NEW bonus tracks that wasn't on the previous 3-CD version? However, they aren't seen on the back cover. Could this be an error? https://buysoundtrax.myshopify.com/products/godzilla-the-ultimate-edition-original-soundtrack-by-david-arnold-3-cd-set New tracks are bolded by me: BONUS TRACKS: 12. Logo #3 (0:19) 13. The Beginning (no choir) (3:34) 14. The Boat Gets It (alt.) (1:11) 15. Footprints / New York / Audrey (alt.) (0:51) 16. Evacuation (alt.) (2:43) 17. The Garden Gets It (alt.) (3:03) 18. Big G Goes To Monster Heaven (alt.) (4:32) 19. Godzilla (Solo Piano) (2:41) 20. Gojira (Album Version) (2:47)

That's so odd that it's only for European releases! It actually has grown on me, despite it being inferior to the Jonsi song.

Wow I didn't realize it's only 2,000 copies. Seems kind of low considering.

That's why I believe someone like John Powell would have been a better choice as assistant in a role like this, which he basically already proved with Solo. Breathing new life into the work of Williams. Look at what he did for "Reminiscence Therapy" for that score. It's largely a temp track of Williams past moments, but woven in such a fresh and exciting way that it feels like it has its own flow and has fun with it.

When can we expect the first podcast interview to drop?

Is it wrong that Pulse Of The City is one of my favorite cues of the entire score?

The only LLL goof I can think of that required repressing discs was for AI. But in that case it was a happy goof that accidentally gave us more music. LOL.

OMG I can't wait to get this! Very excited! Insane that we are getting the songs!

You hit the translation circuit!

Tres tres tres tres!

About to buy it this morning... now it is unavailable. Are you kidding me? This kind of crap is going to make me give up on buying physical CDs anymore. Maybe I will go fully digital after all...

Remember when some titles used to sell out within hours? I am glad those days are behind us...

How "limited" is this "Limited Edition"?

That and the parks don't carry soundtrack CDs or CDs of any kind anymore. Not even park albums.

CD shipped for me too!

Could not agree more. I have wanted these scores for SO long. I once talked to Peter years ago and he said they were going to come out. Then a few years later he said he wanted to try to re-record them first. But that was a very long time now, on both accounts. At this point I just want the scores as heard from the films, rather than not at all. Anyways, excited for the Solo set!

Hasn't it been the 18th of October all along for people that ordered back in August, like myself? It's the only date I've ever seen.

Still waiting on a release of what he did for Peter Jackson's KING KONG.

The additional music more than makes up for not having simple OST edits. There is so much great material for this score that is not on the OST. Some of my favorite tracks weren't originally on it, tbh. Unlike the first JP album that largely had the best bits.

My fun article on the soundtrack, with its prior and current releases, for what it's worth: https://jurassicoutpost.com/the-lost-world-jurassic-park-soundtrack-by-john-williams-gets-a-new-2-cd-release
