The Force Awakens The Force Awakens For Your Consideration (FYC) Album

[crumbs 14,287]

That's the one! Temp track confirmed!

[Muad'Dib 1,800]

It's too bad it's cut because it seems like the cue continued a little bit further.

[rpvee 805]

Unreleased?

 

 

[aj_vader 533]

Love that rendition of Kylo's Theme!

[Jay 37,249]

Well its the end of an era; the music files are no longer available on Disney's site, as they've switched over to 2016 films now.

 

Physical copies of the FYC have been cheaper recently than before, here's some recent ebay listings

[Bilbo 3,709]

Wow. That extra music is not worth $70.

[#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 10,265]

Tell that to the person who payed a lot more and shared it here!

[Jay 37,249]

I paid $65 for my physical copy

[The_Wolfe 0]

Forgive me if this is an inappropriate question to post here, but I was wondering if anybody still had the files from the Disney FYC site? I was able to get Rogue One's while they were actually up, but was not aware that I could have gotten TFA's before. I'd love to experience the soundtrack in the most complete form possible.

[#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 10,265]

Dunno if this was posted before, but someone restored Williams' original version of the Force Theme for when Rey takes the lightsaber.

 

 

Works very well and far less distracting than the tracked version, IMO.

[Disco Stu 15,495]

Agreed!  And man, that snarling low brass setting of Rey's Theme when they start fighting is BAD. ASS.

[mrbellamy 6,270]

It works okay but I definitely don't think it reflects Rey's stunned emotional state as evocatively as the more intimate "Burning Homestead" setting. With this the music tells me she's already made her choice the second the lightsaber hits her hand, but that's not the story. "Burning Homestead" captures the moment and Ridley's performance better, that Rey is still hesitant and weighing her decision to fight or flight until she finally turns it on. The OST version has too much immediate resolve which makes it feel kinda superficially "epic" to me.

 

Obviously I would have preferred a different original piece than tracking...who knows what other alternates he might have written but given just these two, "Burning Homestead" was the right choice for the film.

[#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 10,265]

Wrong!

[mrbellamy 6,270]

Nah fam

[Disco Stu 15,495]

I definitely see @mrbellamy's arguments.  I've never been vehemently against the needle-drop, it's just a shame there apparently wasn't time for Williams to re-score it.  I do think I prefer it with the original intention though.

[crumbs 14,287]

Rey vs Ren was one of the last cues recorded, so this was probably just a late change that couldn't be re-scored in time.

How do we know that?

This is the first time seen this scene with the original music and I got goosebumps.  Much more effective for my tastes.  I found the tracked version to be very distracting but it worked, I suppose, and I understand why it was used.  I imagine the general audience didn't notice the music was from the original movie.

[Not Mr. Big 4,639]

I wonder what the original cue for the transition to the X-Wings was.  The album version cuts straight to later in the duel while the film version is (apparently) tracked from the attack on Jakku.

Some believe it originally transitioned right from the lightsaber music to the scherzo. It's a very smooth transition. There was a lot cut out of the scherzo in the film, so it's possible that the scherzo originally started earlier (in that case, perhaps the scene arrangement was a little different too, since the scherzo wouldn't make much sense for the scene of the pilots in space lamenting their situation). 

[jpnaranjo 5]

Hey!

 

Sorry for bumping the old thread. I am new to this forum, and I was wondering if anybody has the files for TFA and RO FYC release. I found out about it horribly late and the links were already dead when I found them. If anyone could share them, I would be very grateful.

 

Also, let me know if asking for these files is not allowed, since I am still a newborn here.

 

Cheers, and thanks!

[Jay 37,249]

Since Disney took the files off their website, there is no way to legally get this album unless you buy a physical copy off ebay.

Lossless rips of said FYC disc cannot be asked for on the public forums, that's what the PM system is for.  Thanks!

[Bespin 8,472]

Please execute order 66 and arrest all the JWfans who illegally copied the FYC mp3 from the Disney website.

[Jay 37,249]

You quoted a 2 year old post to talk about owning another copy of it?

It's been available on ebay for years now at smaller prices, I picked one up last summer for ~$60

[Bespin 8,472]

Life's hard on JWfan.

[D_A_R_T_H 24]

[Pellaeon 593]

Amazing work, thank you! The FYC is still my single favorite listening experience for TFA, due to the selection and mix, but man, would I love an official C&C.

Oh, wouldn’t we all! (Quiet, @Thor.)

 

Especially after realizing that we’ve already heard some tantalizing little bits of otherwise unheard cues: 1M2R Hand Opening, 2M11R Alt - BB and Rey, 5M40 The Beam Is Released, etc.

Yes, good catch! With this many microedits, it’s easy to have one slip by. I’ve updated the breakdown above.
