OneBuckFilms 319 Posted October 16, 2018 Share Posted October 16, 2018 Both titles were mid-90s, and originally the Biopic was coming out first. Then they announced it was dealyed by the manufacturer and both would come out, then this mid-90s sequel came in early. Between this and the *disc2 not included error, their manufacturer seems to have some serious organisational and communications issues. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jay 37,355 Posted October 16, 2018 Share Posted October 16, 2018 There are less and less pressing plants existing on the planet all the time, and the ones that are left don't have to be competitive because they know there are no alternatives (most of these specialty label CDs are contractually required to be pressed by a plant connected to the film studio in some way) Yavar Moradi 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OneBuckFilms 319 Posted October 16, 2018 Share Posted October 16, 2018 And now there's a "known manufacturing issue" with CD 2 of *batteries, and they are working with the factory to get a fix. Oh well, listen to what I can until a fix arrives. Plenty of other goodies to bide the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very few of us (I suspect) actually need to have them on CD and these plant issues seem to make the whole think harder. And yes, I know that for some people, holding the CD, looking at its cover art and having a nice booklet are all stuff they enjoy (me too to an extent), but that sort of physical nostalgia should never come before the actual practicalities of releasing the music.

Richard Penna 3,687 Posted October 16, 2018 Share Posted October 16, 2018 Same with me, absolutely. But I hate to think that there are almost certainly scores we don't get because it's not worth pressing the CDs and a download would be the only economical way to do it.

NL197 368 Posted October 17, 2018 Share Posted October 17, 2018 On the FSM board, LLL said they make virtually nothing whatsoever from any sort of digital release, as they just don't have any real stake in that and in those rare times they do, it's such a loss it's not remotely worth it. I can't recall what page but I think it was a Transformers score they cited as an example. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arpy 4,145 Posted October 17, 2018 Share Posted October 17, 2018 Well you have to consider that the consumers of film scores are also collectors and these labels gear their releases to those people. Isn't it already the case that more scores are released digitally sans any form of physical media, and maybe vinyl if you're lucky? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard Penna 3,687 Posted October 17, 2018 Share Posted October 17, 2018 I also see it from the perspective that non-US customers have to wait a week+ and pay almost as much as the CD in shipping. It just feels a somewhat old fashioned way to deliver music. And when a pressing error results in thousands of CDs being thrown away, that I have a problem with. I completely understand the problems with digital business models. I just see a lot of downsides to releasing CDs these days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Corellian2019 386 Posted October 26, 2018 Share Posted October 26, 2018 Most likely Balto. Which is great for fans of the score, but I was personally hoping that Intrada had somehow made an inroad that LLL couldn't regarding scores composed by Goldenthal for WB, i.e. Cobb or Michael Collins.

Kasey Kockroach 2,344 Posted October 26, 2018 Share Posted October 26, 2018 I'd be surprised if Balto gets the specialty treatment before either Fievel scores, but what the hey, I'd be game for that one too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

crocodile 8,012 Posted October 26, 2018 Share Posted October 26, 2018 That sounds like Balto from 1995 as other have pointed out. I'm happy if that's the case. "Biopic". That was one sneaky clue!

Kasey Kockroach 2,344 Posted October 26, 2018 Share Posted October 26, 2018 The album plays fine as is despite missing about twenty minutes, so the added stuff wouldn't exactly revolutionize what's already a good score, it'd just...make a good score last longer!

crocodile 8,012 Posted October 26, 2018 Share Posted October 26, 2018 Yeah, he wrote some of his best scores for those types of films. I'm not as convinced by some of his "adult" scores. There's often something terribly melodramatic about those. He's really chewing the soundscape with those, if that makes sense.

Balto's indeed fairly minor in the Horner library, and I assume you'll shudder and exclaim "Eww, cartoon music! Mickey-mousing! No thank YOU! Give me Apollo 13 instead!

There are some less mickey-mousey elements from time to time, but then there's amazing stuff like the last few cues... If you don't like that cue, definitely don't bother ordering. Personally it might be my favorite Horner score for an animated film (and it was his last). The Land Before Time is also great of course but I find the Prokofiev quotes somewhat distracting, and it's honestly just as mickey-mousey at times.

Yavar Moradi 2,599 Posted October 26, 2018 Share Posted October 26, 2018 There are bits of Cantata for the October Revolution, Romeo & Juliet, and even Peter and the Wolf all throughout Land Before Time. Here's a particularly blatant lift: Also check out the second minute or so of this Bartok ballet: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vYEijXHFY1w To one familiar with these pieces, Horner's little quotes are distracting. I still really like Land Before Time, and Balto isn't free of this stuff, but somehow I find the quotes in LBT more prevalent/distracting/bothersome.

SteveMc 2,674 Posted October 26, 2018 Share Posted October 26, 2018 Yeah, I knew about that Bartok inspiration. Just different enough not to ruffle my feathers, but clearly it formed the basis of Horner's opening. Yavar Moradi 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
