Jurassic Park 20th Anniversary OST (Digital only release)

[Jay 37,352]

Only one - he combined 6m5 The Capture Of Marcus with 7m4/8m1 To Berlin on disc 5, and the edit omitted the beginning of To Berlin

[JohnnyD 1,223]

I hope iTunes has the soundtrack back up by sometime tomorrow or Sunday. I am really anxious to buy this soundtrack.

[King Mark 3,631]

I'm pretty sure they're fixing the glitched tracks and that's why it's not available right now

Also. the volume differences between loud and quit parts in the old OST always annoyed me. This is one of the rare album where I had set custom volumes for each tracks in itunes to try to even things out. Or else your always reaching for the volume buttons

That said the OST is probably closer to the "true recording" so it keeps it's value as such

[BloodBoal 7,538]

[King Mark 3,631]

yeah I was gonna say that

With a message...ha! we were just messin with you

[Diego 21]

Haven't posted here in ages...

Anyway I bought this on Wednesday on the mexican iTunes store from my phone, and now that I'm downloading on my computer it's missing tracks 12 and 13... so yeah, they're fixing the tracks I think.

[Wojo 2,453]

Diego! I thought about you when I went to see Sir Paul in 2010. How you been?

[Jay 37,352]

Welcome back Diego!

[Diego 21]

Hey! Not so great... my best friend died on January and it's been pretty hard... other than that ok I guess. I did get to see Macca on 2010 and 2012, it was awesome.

[Damien F 1,742]

It's been a while since I've seen the movie. What is the cue/track where Ellie and Mondoon drive to the T Rex paddock and find the car in the tree. Is it tracked from High Rise Stunts?

[Incanus 5,714]

No the music is original and on the OST, the second part of Incident at Isla Nublar. Here is Jason's updated and extremely helpful run down of the score.

[Jay 37,352]

EDIT: I was wrong

[Incanus 5,714]

Actually I believe he's referring to 8m1 The Trouble With Dennis, which is still unreleased.

Ah I actually thought that after I had written my post. Although he is refering to tracking so the first thing that came to my mind was the second danger motif, which plays both in High Wire Stunts and in the 9m1 The Falling Car.

[Damien F 1,742]

Of course. Thanks Incanus. It is the second danger motif I was thinking of. That last minute or so of Incident at Isla Numlar certainly sounds like the music I'm thinking of.

[Jay 37,352]

It's been a while since I've seen the movie too. If we're talking about the scene where Ellie is yelling "ALAN! ALAN!" and then they find Malcolm's body, that would in fact be the ending of "The Incident At Isla Nublar" CD track as Inky said (The second half of "9m1 The Falling Car")...

...right?

[Damien F 1,742]

Jason, thats exactly the scene I'm thinking of.

[Gruesome Son of a Bitch 6,488]

Aside from Mr. DNA, the new tracks sound like aborted original album tracks. They fit right in.

I prefer the sound of the original album, though. The new remaster sounds a bit overbearing on my Grados and just kinda weird after all these years. The fanfare in Journey to the Island sounds far better on the original album. That's the only real indication I need. The new remaster is inferior.

[Moto Gizmo 2]

The score is currently unavailable in the US store... so there's no way of purchasing it

[#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 10,265]

what if it was a mistake? This album was never supposed to go on sale. It was put up by accident and they pulled it!

[King Mark 3,631]

oh no

[#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 10,265]

Think about, no pre announcement or anything. This album just appeared like that and disappeared 2 days later just like that.

[Jay 37,352]

Nice try, but there was this article about it

http://musicconnection.com/remastered-jurassic-park-soundtrack-includes-4-unreleased-john-williams-tracks/

I'm sure they're just correcting the glitched tracks

[JohnnyD 1,223]

So, I am just curious. How does the newly remastered tracks sound, compared to the Original Motion Picture Soundtrack (1993)?

From what I have listened to on the 20th anniversary edition, the sound is absolutely amazing.

[Jay 37,352]

You are currently in a thread with 7 pages of people discussing that very topic

Original album sounds better.

[King Mark 3,631]

Well, I think people will be split on that

[A. A. Ron 1,742]

Half the opinions don't count

[Gruesome Son of a Bitch 6,488]

The brass and overall dynamics sound better to me on the CD. It's supposed to have soft and loud parts, not just loudness the entire time. All the synths and instruments that are brought out are interesting to hear, but once you do hear them, you realize they should have kept their place in the original mix. The remaster is just exhausting to my ears. I'm a relatively young guy, but I don't need everything loud.

[dylan345 3]

I have to disagree about your comment on the synth parts. The synths were mixed MUCH to quietly on the original release and I found myself turning the volume way up to just to hear faint synth sounds that were in the sheet music that I wanted to confirm were even recorded!

[Faleel 5,346]

GoodMusician, are the channels still switched in parts of "Dennis Steals The Embryo's"?

[A. A. Ron 1,742]

Who is the Embryo's GoodMusician?

[scallenger 483]

Does anyone else here feel that "Hungry Raptor" starts a bit too abruptly? It's almost as if it starts out mid-note, like it is cut off somehow, lol. You would think that it is some audio glitch perhaps, but if you listen to how it starts on the "Making Of JP" end credits, it has the same abruptness. I really like the cue, I'm just for some reason irked by it's very start, lol.

[dylan345 3]

That's the correct start, written that way in the sheet music

[crumbs 14,307]

Has anyone tried matching "Hungry Raptor" to the film? Be interesting to see how it lines up.

[scallenger 483]

I read that it's a bit hard to do properly since apparently that scene was edited a bit differently when Hungry Raptor was originally written, hence probably a partial reason why it was mostly removed in the first place. But I think someone tried it before long ago, maybe Good Musician.

[dylan345 3]

I don't think it fits correctly, I'm pretty sure that cue was written for an earlier version of that scene.

[Jonesy 55]

This will be available at Amazon on April 9.

[#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 10,265]

MP3 only?

[Jonesy 55]

Yes

[#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 10,265]

Any chance of a lossless release on some site?

[BloodBoal 7,538]

[Jonesy 55]

This will be available at Amazon on April 9.

Journey To The Island 14'12

?

That will be a mistake.

[BloodBoal 7,538]

[Jonesy 55]

In that case, we will hear some Dialogue Version tracks at the end of Journey To The Island

[Muad'Dib 1,802]

Damn I haven't realized how good of a cue T-Rex Rescue and Finale was until now. JP was always my favorite score, but that particular cue wasn't a highlight for me... Boy was I wrong! With this new remaster, I can hear every single instrument and it's glorious.

And the new cues are fantastic! I always felt it was a shame the dropped Hungry Raptor altogether from the film, but some people say it would have dated the film... I don't know, I still love it.

I'm trying to assemble the new cues into the rest of the album, not so much in a chronological order, but in the sense they can fit as a listening experience. Anyone have any tips on that?

[KK 3,307]

Still haven't got this... I guess I'll have to wait till the glitches are fixed.

I've noticed that too. I think it's in the synth part. The brass notes are there, but it's like there's a bit of a click to the start of the synth.

[Nick1Ø66 4,714]

iTunes can be notoriously bad at fixing "glitches"...they've had stuff stay on there for months and even years that was substandard or defective, even after countless complaints. My guess is that if that whatever is wrong with this release isn't fixed right away it wont be for some time...if ever.

In any event, I'll wait for a lossless release, which I'm sure will come eventually. It's not that I can tell the difference between 256 AAC and lossless (like the vast majority of the population, I can't), but I just don't like paying for lossy music on principle. And it's not as if I've been losing sleep over not having these tracks anyway.

[Jay 37,352]

Hey the Amazon version is 50 cents cheaper!

[Datameister 2,042]

I'm very glad to hear this is not an iTunes exclusive. If it never shows up anywhere besides Amazon mp3, I'll buy it there...but the fact that it's also showing up there gives me more hope for lossless versions becoming available.
