Not Mr. Big 4,639 Posted December 4, 2015 Author Share Posted December 4, 2015 I'd really like to see the cover of "The Art of The Force Awakens" as a CD cover.I quickly threw this together, hope you like it.(click for full size) Awesome! I think I'll take it to the nearest photo-printer once the album is released. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not Mr. Big 4,639 Posted December 4, 2015 Author Share Posted December 4, 2015 Wait, that's not really a leaked track from the score?!?Oh yeah I forgot! It is. Pope sounds pretty worried from what I gather.Wow, indeed. Not only is the "vocabulary" vulgar, the musical and dramatic grammar is so, so clumsy and base. It raises the question: without JW, what, indeed, would STAR WARS be? ( though at 2:02 the music returned to a universe that I did recognize)! I had no idea that this is what has been going on with this film. I wonder if John knows? What is Disney thinking? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Incanus 5,713 Posted December 4, 2015 Share Posted December 4, 2015 I think we should get at least some preview clips soon, otherwise we'll end up endlessly fighting about Conrad Pope and William Ross again.

Not Mr. Big 4,639 Posted December 4, 2015 Author Share Posted December 4, 2015 Given the earlier release date, I do think it would be cool if some of our more European members could make a list of non-spoiler "oddities" about the score to look out for. Tracked in music from earlier in the film, earlier films, or worst case-scenario, completely different films (unlikely given that J.J Abrams isn't a Ridley Scott type) and where it seems apparent that new arrangements of old themes replaced more original material (ie. the Imperial March at the end of AOTC).

Incanus 5,713 Posted December 4, 2015 Share Posted December 4, 2015 Don't worry, he'll remove all the "boring" new renditions of old themes, but keep in the note for note reprisals.On the whole Williams seems very prone to underplay his old (and popular and iconic) themes on the newer SW soundtrack albums as if he is embarrased he has to use old music instead of new. As a consequence those new versions of old beloved themes get axed off the album and JW highlights the new material as much as possible. RotS was a case of bidding a (temporary) farewell to the Star Wars sage so there JW seemed happy to give use the Throne Room music as a sort of hexalogy finishing wave of goodbye, ending on a familiar note so to speak.Then there are those strange note-for-note pieces like the Duel inserted without much consideration beyond "George's mandate", which felt clunky in RotS because they wanted to force the "it rhymes" notion Lucas had for the films.

Demondm810 399 Posted December 4, 2015 Share Posted December 4, 2015 I am still optimistic. I think the prequels were subject to meddling by Lucas and shitty, disrespectful editing by Burtt.

Jay 37,323 Posted December 4, 2015 Share Posted December 4, 2015 Well anyways, since the iTunes listing also has 23 tracks, to me this means:1. The tracklist that was briefly up on Amazon was real, and they weren't supposed to put it up, so they were asked to take it down. Disney has sent the OST to Apple, and they were instructed to not list the track names or times until the 18th.2. The tracklist was fake, and someone at Apple chose to list it as 23 tracks because he saw that tracklist, just so the entry wouldn't be blank like Amazon's.
