Get ‘em starting as part of our 25% OFF special! – TITANIC and KARATE KID are gone for good once they are sold out! Be sure to pick up Titanic if you haven't yet - It's a wonderful release, an iconic Horner score, and I can't imagine how insanely high the price will skyrocket once it's out of print.

Trope 519 Posted April 3 Share Posted April 3 Wonderful that there's a sale on. Everything by John Williams that is currently in stock I already own (and am very pleased with!). I cannot recommend the 3CD releases of Hook and A.I. enough. I was going through my expanded soundtrack CDs today and making a list of my favourites, and those 2 (along with the JW Harry Potter box-set) were in my top 5 all-time favourites! I'd also like to shout-out Always; that was a completely blind buy on my part (never heard the OST or seen the movie), and it is a wonderful, intimate and atmospheric soundtrack with a beautiful orchestral finale. There remain only a few LLL releases that I'm potentially interested in that I haven't felt the need to purchase, but are now on my radar given the sale. If anyone had any positive recommendations/thoughts on the following, please let me know: - Jack the Bear (James Horner) - Sliver (Howard Shore) - Nobody's Fool (Howard Shore) - Wuthering Heights (Ryuichi Sakamoto) - Spider-Man (Danny Elfman) - The Ring (Hans Zimmer) These are all scores that I've never heard and haven't seen the films they are a part of, but by composers whose work I often enjoy. P.S. Does anybody know if Top Gun will come back in stock before the sale ends? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bollemanneke 3,337 Posted April 3 Share Posted April 3 No album versions/alts in the main program. This should never be done in my view. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard Penna 3,669 Posted April 3 Share Posted April 3 The bigger problem with that set is some missing film takes such as the ending, iirc. Putting album/original versions in the main program is pretty far down the list of priorities for me compared to that. A. A. Ron 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A. A. Ron 1,738 Posted April 3 Share Posted April 3 The film edits are wildly butchered from the original compositions. The film version would be unlistenable. Tallguy and Edmilson 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard Penna 3,669 Posted April 3 Share Posted April 3 Indeed. Note I said film takes, not edits. The butchering in the film varies from creative to downright unlistenable as music, but you want to at least have the compositions and takes that the editors started with before all hell broke loose. I replicated two tracked moments in my set because I love how they work in their respective scenes, much like how a handful of tracked moments in Potter 1 work really well.

Well for many of the cues that have multiple options, a film version virtually doesn't exist because it's a hackjob of many versions or even many cues. They just had to pick one or the other.

bollemanneke 3,337 Posted April 3 Share Posted April 3 Ah, no no, sorry. I mean film versions as in as-recorded. Like Southampton. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Holko 9,498 Posted April 3 Share Posted April 3 I think overall the approach is somewhat like Intrada's Alien (another score butchered in the final cut, and a release done fully by Mike on the technical side): main program has the original versions, bonuses are the revisions? It's consistent and I have no problem with it, even if it's not my preference, but I always make my own playlists/assemblies anyway. bollemanneke 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard Penna 3,669 Posted April 3 Share Posted April 3 I basically want the main program to be as close as possible to what's in the film without replicating tracking or similar editing. If that means putting a version the composer revised against their wishes in the main program... sucks to be them. The problem indeed is when the film uses two versions and switches between them, so there is no single film version. I don't particularly care what they do in those cases as long as the material is released, i.e. put one in the main section and the other in bonus.

I never understood why some edits tend to favor the original version in the main program, even if it's what the composer intended. Anyone who agrees with the composer just have to program the album version into the main program. But in Titanic's case I think that would be near impossible to achieve given the utter and complete mess that is the score in the movie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't give much of a shit when a version was composed or what's used in the film, I use whatever version I like better and fits better musically, I even combine versions a lot.

mstrox 6,643 Posted April 3 Share Posted April 3 I always prefer whatever works best musically. With most scores I own, I don’t have an intimate knowledge of the movie and probably have never seen it at all. If a film version is full of hacky edits or extraneous loops, give me an album version every time. bruce marshall and Yavar Moradi 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Richard Penna 3,669 Posted April 3 Share Posted April 3 I live with the released main program unless there's something I really don't like, such as a version of a track they put in the bonus section being superior. Such things don't bother me anyway - quick switcheroo. The only recent exception would be our ol' favourite Sleepy Hollow. Took me ages to work out how to make a playable long-term set without winding myself up with endless repeats of cues. And not I should add, because I was worrying about what were film versions, but just deciding which versions I liked most and which alterate takes had value. But scores as complicated as that are quite rare. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Bounty95 557 Posted April 3 Popular Post Share Posted April 3 I'm bothered by the ommission of the alternate ending of "Unable to Stay, Unwilling to Leave" (which was used for the finale). Instead of including the utterly redundant "Leaving Port (With Alternate Ending)", which just fades out before the original ending, they could have included a track "Unable to Stay, Unwilling to Leave (Alternate)" with the new ending and without the pipes. This is still one of my favourite LLL releases and I wish I could relive happiness and excitement that I felt when I saw the announcement on FB. bollemanneke, Holko and Richard Penna 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bollemanneke 3,337 Posted April 5 Share Posted April 5 They always do. Their entire FB page reads as like a 'stop complaining please' plea which is uncalled for I think.

Richard Penna 3,669 Posted April 5 Share Posted April 5 I thought this particular one was in reference to issues with completing the checkout process which they resolved a day or two ago. Or their website software has an 'apologetic message' template. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
