[Yavar Moradi 2,598]

As a Goldsmith nut I am OVER THE MOON about ARCHER! This is the first full Goldsmith premiere we've gotten in AGES. Yes Intrada recently gave us The Reincarnation of Peter Proud and back in 2014 Varese gave us The List of Adrian Messenger, but both of those scores had previously been released on bootlegs, even if they didn't sound as good as the subsequent official releases. But Archer has NEVER been released in any way shape or form, and it's not even clear whether Goldsmith maybe wrote more than one episode score for it (IMDb lists only episode 4, "Shades of Blue", while Jerry Goldsmith Online claims Jerry wrote just the theme and pilot score, which would make sense to do together). The series itself has never been commercially released and although one can find a couple episodes online in a different language, the pilot and episode 4 are not among them. So all I've heard of Jerry's work for this was his cool Main Title...

 

 

That's enough to get me jazzed for this!

That is wonderful news for Goldsmith fans indeed!  I will purchase and check it out.

 

Poor Nick Redman, came so close to being able to see everyone's reactions to TTRL

Yeah, they could at least have drawn a line. How hard is that?

Maybe the lack of Superman for Feb means Varese is releasing Presumed Innocent for their final Townson batch?

Maybe it’s a gentleman’s agreement between the labels is where I was going with it but who knows I’m drunk right now 😂 

[ManofDestiny 71]

Warning Shot is still in print, right?

 

[Yavar Moradi 2,598]

No. The original edition has been OOP from LLL for some time now. And MV revealed that much better music sources were uncovered for this new edition.

Interesting. I ask the question because it is stili available here.

[Yavar Moradi 2,598]

It’s not uncommon for a retailer/reseller to have leftover stock on an OOP title. Sometimes when titles sell out from the label like LLL or Intrada, people assume it’s sold out everywhere and stop looking for it.

 

Yavar

[Wojo 2,453]

Or they conclude that when it's out of print, remaining inventory is no longer allowed to be sold. 

[crumbs 14,306]

"Anniverary Edition"? 

 

Hope that was caught before going to print!

[Koray Savas 2,251]

It was. 

[Jay 37,346]

Proof?

[crocodile 8,000]

Wasn't it supposed to be a Black Friday release originally? I suppose out if respect for Nick Redman they didn't alter it?

 

Anyway...$60?!?

La-La Land Records, Fox Music, 20th Century Fox and Sony Music proudly present the 4 CD expanded and remastered reissue of renowned composer Hans Zimmer’s (DUNKIRK, INTERSTELLAR, THELMA & LOUISE), masterful original motion picture score to the 1998 epic WWII drama, THE THIN RED LINE, starring Sean Penn, Adrien Brody and Woody Harrelson, and written and directed by Terrence Malick. Having been present at the film’s scoring sessions, Reissue Album Producer for 20th Century Fox, Nick Redman, describes composer Zimmer’s score as, “…a gorgeous tapestry unfurling before us, shimmering majestically in the air… There were many moments where the score moved one to tears: the juxtaposition of music with image was so affecting.” Finally, this powerful and important score has been given a deluxe treatment worthy of its breadth and scope in a new presentation that is greatly expanded beyond its initial soundtrack release - with a bounty of never-before-released material. Discs 1&2 present the film score as written in chronological film order (Disc 2 also contains additional alternates), while Disc 3 features the remastered original 1999 soundtrack album and Disc 4 contains RCA’s album of Melanesian chants from the film. Produced by Neil S. Bulk and Mike Matessino, and mastered by Daniel Hersch, this special release, approved by the composer and Alan Meyerson (scoring mixer) features a 36-page booklet with a note from album producer Nick Redman and exclusive in-depth liners by writer Jeff Bond, including new comments from Zimmer. The elegant art design is by Dan Goldwasser. This is a limited edition of 3500 Units.

La-La Land Records dedicates this release in memory of producer Nick Redman (1955-2019).

RETAIL PRICE: $15.98

Order at www.lalalandrecords.com, starting 2/5 at 12 noon (pst)

La-La Land Records, Royal Road Entertainment and Netflix proudly present three-time Academy Award-winning composer Michel Legrand’s (SUMMER OF ’42, THE THOMAS CROWN AFFAIR, ATLANTIC CITY) musical score to the acclaimed motion picture THE OTHER SIDE OF THE WIND, starring John Huston and directed by Orson Welles. As producers Frank Marshall and Filip Jan Rymsza painstakingly completed this unfinished Orson Welles film, they came upon a note in the master filmmaker’s diary that indicated, “Call Legrand for the music.” And so the producers did just that, and maestro Legrand honored the great Welles’ request with a brilliant follow-up to his earlier effort for the director, “F for Fake.” With THE OTHER SIDE OF THE WIND, Legrand weaves classical and jazz motifs into a score for both a Hollywood party and the experimental music for the “film within the film,” capturing Welles’ complex and experimental vision in a fitting final work of musical genius. Before his untimely passing in January 2019, Legrand personally chose the selections and sequencing for this album, which was produced and mastered by Mike Matessino in consultation with the filmmakers and Legrand’s associates. The CD booklet contains a personal note from the composer. The sleek art design is by Jim Titus.

La-La Land dedicates this album to the memory of Michel Legrand (1932-2019)

The disc compilation of TTRL is exactly as I suspected (see my previous post)! But, it's weird, they left quite some important music out. For starters, the source music is completely left out, that's essential for this score! Also, I'm curious how they edited the Cosmic Beam tracks 'McCron freaks', 'Snake in Grass', 'Sit back & Relax' into this mix. At first sight, it looks like a lot of cues are missing. I also doubt if most of the tracks are actual film mixes/edits. I'll have a more detailed look soon.

[bollemanneke 3,342]

I'm not interested in this score at this point, but what IS it with LLL omitting source music? Yeah, looking at you, Wyatt Earp!

[Jurassic Shark 12,054]

It's just too many notes.

I also doubt if most of the tracks are actual film mixes/edits. I'll have a more detailed look soon.

 

From what I understand about Malick, and hearing about his treatment of Horner's The New World, this set isn't going to be the place to go to hear what was in the film.

 

Luckily I've never seen the film so I wouldn't notice any mixing issues. Whether I buy this depends on whether the actual film score is as interesting as Zimmer's OST.

 

Also, is there anything by Badelt on this release? I have a beautiful track from a promo called 'Music for Films' apparently written for TTRL.

 

I wish they would stop using the phrase 'important score' in descriptions. Zimmer's already the most pretentious composer on the planet without that....

[StRuPiE 15]

LLL is clearly emphasizing the 'Expanded' in this score release. They never mention 'Complete' or 'Film mix', which is a bummer. Even if it gets a deluxe treatment and is chronologically represented, that's not what most of us are looking for (those familiar with the bootlegs/sessions). But I'm afraid it's just that, the remastered sessions without any kind of editing or attempt at a film mix.

 

'Witt With Melanesians' is the Badelt cue, but not as heard as in the movie.

 

 

[Holko 9,518]

I don't think the labels ever really put "Film Mix" in the advertising, and we know for a fact (from employees I think, possibly MV himself said it on FSM?) that LLL intentionally goes for calling their releases "expanded" instead of "complete", because they know if they call it complete and 2 seconds are missing, some fanboy or many will call for their heads.

[Jurassic Shark 12,054]

That's right.

[StRuPiE 15]

I'm not talking about the advertising, I'm talking about the tracks themselves. Look at the LLL Titanic release, some tracks are labeled (film version), so clearly someone edited it that way. That's completely missing in these tracks for TTRL... yeah, I know, my expectations are quite high.

Contractual obligations force LLL to call tracks the same as on the OST if the contents are the same as the OST track, like with Entry into the Great Hall and the Banquet which never actually contained the first part of the title on either release. If the content is different, extended or less or something, but the producer wants to call it the same as on the OST, the (film version) is nothing but an indication of that difference, like for example with Incident on Isla Nublar and Incident on Isla Nublar (film version).

[bollemanneke 3,342]

Okay, so... What is this release? Is it complete in the sense that it contains Zimmer's complete recorded material?

[StRuPiE 15]

If a label calls a track 'film version' then I expect it to be 'as heard in the film'. Sure, there can still be differences in film mix and edits, but bottom line is it should be as accurate to the film as possible.

[Holko 9,518]

It usually covers the take the composer intended to use in the film. Labels usually don't go around recreating looping, tracking and microediting, nor should they in most cases.

[StRuPiE 15]

Right, that's our job!

Nope. It's missing the wild takes from the sessions (not that I expected them to be included). I just hope that Zimmer's recording of "Annum per Annum" is included within "Nature Montage"

[StRuPiE 15]

It's a complicated track. It starts with the 'Cosmic Beam drone' and segues into Pärt's 'Annum per Annum', overlayed with Zimmer's own recording ending in a crossover with Fauré's 'In Paradisium'. None of which are credited by LLL. So my guess is, it's just the track from the sessions without the source music.

'Accurate to the film' is a tricky call, but I would essentially expect anything marked as 'film version' to be the exact take used in the film, prior to any meddling the music editors do. 

 

For simpler scores that's usually fine. In my book it's only cases where the film added/removed layers or instruments that it becomes a problem, and the track ceases to be the 'film mix'.
