Popular Post Datameister 2,037 Posted November 30, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted November 30, 2018 The questions of chronology and completeness are pretty interesting to me. My preference is to have all the material recorded (one take or mixture of takes per cue, including any alternates that were recorded). I'm fine with cues that are overlapped/segued as the composer intended for the film, and I'm fine with cues presented out of order as long as they don't overlap noticeably. Don't get me wrong, in a perfect world, I'd love to have everything cleanly separated - not because that's the version I would listen to most often, but because that gives me more flexibility in terms of how I want to listen to the score. I do like to hear clean openings/endings simply because I find them interesting, and then it's easy enough for me to put cues together if I want them that way. But again, hey, as long as nothing is overlapped in ways that go against the intentions for the film, I'm pretty happy. And that certainly seems to be the approach that's happening these days with these releases. Hopefully it has continued with the Potter set. And for those who say the only valid way to enjoy music is in an assembly that's different from the film...okay, cool, that's awesome that you prefer to listen to it that way, but I'm still gonna enjoy what I enjoy, just like you're going to enjoy what you're going to enjoy.

King Mark 3,625 Posted November 30, 2018 Share Posted November 30, 2018 9 hours ago, Once said: If every cue has a clean start and ending I don’t care about the order. Yeah that was my point . If they had presented the cues split up and reversed the order then who cares. Why did they have to join THOSE cues when the rest of the c.d is full of short 1 minute cues anyways.. Having done fan edits over the years, nothing sounds worse than splitting up cues that are crossfaded together without a final note fade out. Fake fadeouts sound like shit and splitting them anyways is the # 1 thing that sounds bad in fan edits. JUST for that I want the SW prequels even though 95% of the music is released in some form Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I won’t lose my mind if I never get a clean opening or closing of a cue. But I always prefer it if I can get it. If not, hey, I’ll take whatever is offered. For example: I could’ve (and still do) lived without the clean ending of Finale and the clean opening of the Credits from Force Awakens. That happens to be available, but I don’t listen to it often. I find it interesting to have though. I just have a love for music editing and this gives me an opportunity for that. I do it all, chronological, film edits, etc. My playlists are sometime quite the mess. Its all good fun. And, of course, I can create whatever listening experience I want.

A few relevant quotes from you and others: Quote If anything, my opinion is, the composer should have all the freedom to decide the order in which to present their score (within reason). If some people don't like that, why, they should just rewatch the movie! Quote You are supposed to listen to an album. It is about the music, not about... whatever some of you think it is all about. Quote [John Williams] has a mixed track record, for sure, but still, he obviously can watch a movie scene ten times and still knows that you can't just present a 150 minute score without editorializing the content at least in some way. I admit, I'm perhaps a little sensitized to it because there've been other conversations that have gone that way over the years, too. But still, the message here is that I (and others like me) am wrong to want what I want. My only response to that can be...okay, sorry? Imma do me.

Im glad that there are people who are purely for the listening experience. It’s certainly the easier option. XD.

Again, look, I don't have any problem with folks enjoying music in their own way (i.e. assembling their own "tailor-made" album). Why would I? Why would anybody? Likewise, I don't have any problem with the composer presenting us their work in the way they see fit. It's their creation after all, they should by all means have some freedom in that area... Again, I myself have no problem with either, like you insinuated. It's just that sometimes--the way I understand it--the former (like yourself) have a problem with the latter (the composer or MM). I was simply addressing that. 1 hour ago, Datameister said: And again...to be clear...I'm guessing this Potter set is assembled to cater both to folks who want a pleasant listen right out of the box (like you) and to folks who want to be able to customize the assembly if we want (like me), so no complaints here.

Gruesome Son of a Bitch 6,488 Posted November 30, 2018 Share Posted November 30, 2018 You guys constantly criticize OSTs, but I am a true believer that a lot of thought goes into their creation. I frequently opt for the album as it's the way the composer intended it to be experienced apart from the film and I tend to agree with them in many cases. Certain cues simply don't work when you detach them from the film. This is the case with many short tracks on these expanded releases or film versions that were edited to make more sense musically on album, such as the ending of Incident at Isla Nublar. With Potter, you're dealing with so much music it's basically overwhelming. I'm not sure I could salvage a listening experience to my liking from it.

Popular Post scallenger 481 Posted November 30, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted November 30, 2018 This isn't really a criticism as much as it is an inquiry in a way for people here, but: do you ever sometimes wish concert versions of tracks could be included, if there was room for them in a set? I know they aren't recorded with the film, so most see them as something arbitrary to include (especially when some are re-arranged by Williams years later). Granted it would always depend on availability on if there IS a recording available, and maybe fees of usage are another factor as to why they are not present since it would of course be credited to a different orchestra and possibly conductor, etc. But, for example, Prisoner of Azkaban's "Double Trouble" and "Window To The Past" concert versions are wonderfully done variations created by Williams. Sometimes these concert versions even feel like they expand upon the material and let it flow even more freely than when it had been set to the confines of the films. To me it is kind of no different than like having the E.T. Adventure music included; it expanded upon the score even further using its themes, and therefore feels vital to the presentation for some (like myself). Of course, all of us can muster up various files of these concert versions and just slap them at the end of the released presentations; but I'm just wondering if anyone wishes they would sometimes be included to make them truly be the end-all be-all CD releases of the scores?

Popular Post Docteur Qui 1,544 Posted November 30, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted November 30, 2018 The PoA concert arrangements were written after the score was recorded and haven’t - to my knowledge - ever been recorded by JW himself. I can’t imagine it would meet his approval to have, say, the Prague recording of Double Trouble on a set like this. No disrespect to the musicians but they are very clearly not a top-tier recording orchestra compared to the LSO and its satellite ensembles. It really wouldn’t sit right to have those very flawed performances alongside these pristine recordings. Now what we really need is for Williams to record an album with all of these concert suites!

You get what you get on these cd's and that's that. So it's just a bit of pretty inconsequential rambling going on here, no need to be overly dramatic about it. To have both viewpoints balances an imho very unhealthy, obsessing way of hovering over this (and other) music transferred from one medium to another (i have not heard this set, so i have no idea how well it works in this instance). I usually don't chime in on discussions like this, but the sheer amount of desperation over such minor things is half amusing, half embarrassing to me as part of this board: the same people hardly ever are able to come up with something inspiring, or analytically interesting, about either music or movie they so desperately cling to, so i can safely say what drives me up the wall is just a personality mismatch - OCD fans just are my natural target.

No doubt each release Mike tackles is filled with a list of requests from Williams regarding the assembly, both cue chronology and cue inclusion. It makes perfect sense that MM is prepared to show flexibility on the chronology side if it means Williams is prepared to show flexibility on the inclusion side (so no microedits and no omission of cues/key alternates).

Musically speaking, nothing, the transition works fine for an OST. Does it work in a release attempting a chronological presentation of the Jurassic Park score? OF COURSE NOT. The two cues are separated by over 13 cues in the score proper! Conversely, if you're talking about moving a cue up or down a few spots (For Mina being a good example) it's not such a big deal -- especially when the result improves the musical flow.

Does it work in a release attempting a chronological presentation of the Jurassic Park score? OF COURSE NOT. The two cues are separated by over 13 cues in the score proper! I don't see why an expanded score needs to be chronological, if it improves the listening experience to combine cues. Pieter Boelen 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That rather sounds like MM's trying to fool and deceive JW and jockeying for advatage every step of the way... I don't like that. No. What the actual fuck are you talking about?? This is an insanely contrived misinterpretation of my post and I DO NOT appreciate having my words twisted in such a way, nor my motivations painted in such a deceptive, false manner. I made no insinuation even remotely resembling your comment and have nothing but admiration for Mike and his process (which continues to bear fruit and evolve with each new JW collaboration). You really should stop and think for half a second before posting comments like this. 14 minutes ago, bollemanneke said: Yes, but the thing is, the track names ARE different and Jay said all OST track names, if the content of these tracks was identical, had to be retained. I'm sorry but I don't understand what you're saying here. Your sentence is a literal contradiction; every track in the table I posted shares track names across both releases.

crumbs 14,301 Posted November 30, 2018 Share Posted November 30, 2018 Correct, as I posted an hour ago: 1 hour ago, crumbs said: Any track on the LLL set with the same track title as an OST track has identical content (with a few extra seconds of silence, seemingly).
