Trent B 337 Posted May 31, 2010 Share Posted May 31, 2010 Ha ha, trust KM to put a downer on this by somehow linking it to unreleased Williams music.You're a bitter man, Mark!Indeed Quint. KM if you wanna bitch about the release go do it on FSM and quit pissin' on everyone else' enjoyment here. Just because it's not a Williams release or Spartacus you get up in arms over it and think it's a waste or shit. You're almost as bad as Thor.Edit: Guys just wait until we have the score in hand to judge whether or not it's complete. We can't say for certain it's all pure speculation at this point.

Datameister 2,044 Posted May 31, 2010 Share Posted May 31, 2010 A lot of the other track times are quite confusing... Hopefully they didn't place random inserts or alternates in the middle of other tracks!I'm guessing not - that doesn't seem to be the M.O. with Giacchino releases, and these cues easily could have been longer than what was heard in the film. Some of them we already knew were missing material (e.g. "Trekking Down the Narada"). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fommes 153 Posted May 31, 2010 Share Posted May 31, 2010 Wow, came out of left field! Kudos to Varèse for releasing this.Except for two things:- Why as a Deluxe Edition? This doesn't cost me 30 dollars, but 37 + 8 or 9 or more dollars shipping costs (because Varèse doesn't give discount to other retailers + can't order from VS itself because of customs). It's a bit much.and this:-I don't get at ALL why they are giving us the final film version Main Titles (which are just an edit of Enterprising Young Men) instead of one of Giacchino's two original main titles - makes no sense!

Richard Penna 3,694 Posted May 31, 2010 Share Posted May 31, 2010 When I saw the title of this topic, I instantly assumed it was Goldsmith's score, and prepared myself to read an onslaught of "wow, the whole score, finally!!!!" and being generally uninterested.But this is a most pleasant surprise - definitely buying it. What makes me happier actually is that the idea of releasing limited quantities of current scores has been realised. Of course, it's for a mega-blockbuster, but it means the union is willing to negotiate.Complete? Well the film wasn't that long that I recall, and there was lots of tracking, plus Giacchino has said himself that he hopes Varese could release the full score sometime, so there's a good bet. Luckily, I've only seen the film once and wouldn't notice anything missingWay better idea than a vol 2 as well. We don't need to resequence anything or (hopefully) deal with alternates. Will definitely be renaming these track titles to something more sensible however..Seriously ,how does something like that come out 1 year after the movie? Where's all that re-use fee ,rights crap that tangle up every single Williams releases?You've just had Black Sunday and The Poseidon Adventure. Go sit in the corner and listen to them, and let every other, positive, contributor to this thread enjoy this release. I mean FFS, if it ain't JW, you don't want it to happen do you?

Charlie Brigden 7 Posted May 31, 2010 Share Posted May 31, 2010 I generally find that Colosseum's prices for the disc on its own are more expensive than ordering from Varese direct including shipping.With STIII and my lady's birthday next month, it's unlikely I'll be able to get this right away, but I'm wary of it selling out quickly.

Henry B 50 Posted May 31, 2010 Share Posted May 31, 2010 Yay! The action music can get a little interminable and there's too much reliance on the main theme, but this is a score with a lot of heart. And a lot of unreleased music. Instant buy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Richard Penna 3,694 Posted May 31, 2010 Share Posted May 31, 2010 I didn't bother staying up or rising early - I've lost track of when Varese announces their stuff. That and, I never imagined it would be something modern.OMG 40 € at colosseum...And it is limited (eeeeek) Yeah, some 'convenience' that is One batch last year, I had inaccurate hopes for one particular title, and registered at Coliseum. That's when I realised it's actually cheaper to buy direct from Varese than it is to order from Europe. Whether it's a true reflection of costs or just an attempt to make a bit more money, it doesn't really work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andy 4,138 Posted May 31, 2010 Share Posted May 31, 2010 I ordered. I'm not in LOVE with this score, but I do like it. But I am always open to an expanded release re-shaping my impressions of a score. Plus I'm a Trek completist. But sadly, I put off ordering ST III, a score I enjoy waaaay more, because it's unlimited. As for the "Blu Ray sized packaging", I do hope that Varese never does weird packaging again after all the complaints. No one, and I mean no one, likes sore thumbs sticking out on the CD shelf. I appreciate that they wanted to do something special, but they should stay within the dimensions of a standard case. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gruesome Son of a Bitch 6,488 Posted May 31, 2010 Share Posted May 31, 2010 I'm surprised Harry Potter hasn't been expanded yet, via iTunes exclusive tracks or anything like that. Even a kind of sampler CD containing bonus tracks from all the different scores. By their very nature, all the Harry Potter soundtracks have been very popular and are prime for complete/expanded releases. I'm hopeful we'll get them.

OneBuckFilms 323 Posted May 31, 2010 Share Posted May 31, 2010 Datameister, it does mean your custom mixes are likely to be completely obsolete. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Datameister 2,044 Posted May 31, 2010 Share Posted May 31, 2010 Absolutely! We've already addressed this in the thread. I think this is a "best of both worlds." I got to experience the fun challenge of putting together a complete score (along with anyone else who wanted to), and now we get an even better version! There'll still be a few things missing, though, I believe - the pieces of source music, some alternates, etc.One thing I'm wondering about is what mixes this album will contain. The album, film, and DVD features differ in the presence and absence of percussion, choir, and/or erhu, depending on the cue. It'll be interesting to see what they choose to use. I must say, I hope the film mix of "Hangar Management" (fun title!) is used, at least. Sometimes the heavier percussion overdubs in the film strike me as unnecessary, but that particular cue sounds rather underwhelming without it.

Trent B 337 Posted May 31, 2010 Share Posted May 31, 2010 It's possible they maybe with out the added percussion. I thought with Chris Tilton added the percussion as a last minute thing at the end? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Datameister 2,044 Posted May 31, 2010 Share Posted May 31, 2010 Yeah, I believe he said he helped add in some or all of those overdubs toward the end of the process. That being the case, I guess it's pretty unlikely they'll be in there. The choir, though, could be mixed the way it's mixed in the film - or not. Same goes for the erhu, which in some cases was dialed out of the film, leaving the orchestra to play by itself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OneBuckFilms 323 Posted May 31, 2010 Share Posted May 31, 2010 Well, thank you for doing those mixes, Datameister. I listen to them more often than the OST.Looking at your edits and the track timings, it's clear that a couple of cues may have been merged for this release.But it definately looks like we have around 80-90% of the score here, if not all of it.I'm just laughing out loud at the cue titles !!!The Flask At Hand, Flying Into a Trphlthdl and I've Fallen and I Can't Beam Up! are priceless !!!

Datameister 2,044 Posted May 31, 2010 Share Posted May 31, 2010 Absolutely! It's a really fun process for me. I expect anyone who happened to get their hands on it to buy this release now, though. Yeah, some cues had to be merged (e.g. "Star Trek" and "Narada Bing"). I'm thinking some of these are just cases of single cues having their middle passages dialed out of the film, though, so what we thought were distinct cues actually never were.

I'd still like to put off placing my huge order until Spartacus is announced as well.That should be the same size as the old DVD-A audio cases. Just slightly larger than a jewel case.Meaning it won't fit in my regular CD shelves. It'll have to go on the "special editions" shelf, together with the LOTR CEs.
