LIMITED EDITON (4-CD SET)” Music by Hans Zimmer Limited Edition of 3500 Units RETAIL PRICE: $59.98 STARTS SHIPPING 2/12 La-La Land Records, Fox Music, 20th Century Fox and Sony Music proudly present the 4 CD expanded and remastered reissue of renowned composer Hans Zimmer’s (DUNKIRK, INTERSTELLAR, THELMA & LOUISE), masterful original motion picture score to the 1998 epic WWII drama, THE THIN RED LINE, starring Sean Penn, Adrien Brody and Woody Harrelson, and written and directed by Terrence Malick. Having been present at the film’s scoring sessions, Reissue Album Producer for 20th Century Fox, Nick Redman, describes composer Zimmer’s score as, “…a gorgeous tapestry unfurling before us, shimmering majestically in the air… There were many moments where the score moved one to tears: the juxtaposition of music with image was so affecting.” Finally, this powerful and important score has been given a deluxe treatment worthy of its breadth and scope in a new presentation that is greatly expanded beyond its initial soundtrack release - with a bounty of never-before-released material. Discs 1&2 present the film score as written in chronological film order (Disc 2 also contains additional alternates), while Disc 3 features the remastered original 1999 soundtrack album and Disc 4 contains RCA’s album of Melanesian chants from the film. Produced by Neil S. Bulk and Mike Matessino, and mastered by Daniel Hersch, this special release, approved by the composer and Alan Meyerson (scoring mixer) features a 36-page booklet with a note from album producer Nick Redman and exclusive in-depth liners by writer Jeff Bond, including new comments from Zimmer. The elegant art design is by Dan Goldwasser. This is a limited edition of 3500 Units. La-La Land Records dedicates this release in memory of producer Nick Redman (1955-2019).

ymenard 54 Posted February 5, 2019 Share Posted February 5, 2019 Hard choices had to be made from a business POV to cut down a score from 384 minutes long into two CD totalling 152 minutes... yikes. Is there anything on CD3 that is not on the two first CD? And how many of the chants on CD4 are actually in the movie? What are the great stuff missing from the leaked sessions bootleg (not counting the classical pieces)? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smeltington 1,440 Posted February 5, 2019 Share Posted February 5, 2019 I've never seen the film, or heard any music from it, but I've heard it discussed enough around here that I'm interested to give it a try. However, 4 discs is a lot... and then on top of that, even with 4 discs, some music is missing? What's the deal with this score? Why would it need to be 384 minutes long in the first place? Were these "chants" recorded specifically for the movie, and why are there enough of them to fill an entire disc? It might be enough to make me wanna get the OST and stay blissfully ignorant of whatever might be missing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matt C 454 Posted February 6, 2019 Share Posted February 6, 2019 Is the $60 price due to reuse fees? That's high for one movie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crumbs 14,316 Posted February 6, 2019 Share Posted February 6, 2019 Might be fees for Zimmer, Badelt, Powell, the Melanesian vocalists... it adds up. I'm only mildly familiar with the score but I remember liking it. Maybe one to pair with Superman next month? Bit surprised by the tracklist though. Weren't people saying Zimmer wrote over 5 hours of music for this film due to changes in post? Once I saw it was 4 CDs I assumed it would feature an entire disc of alternates, so discs 3 and 4 being reissues of existing releases surprises me. Maybe including those was their way of helping justify the set's price tag (due to some exorbitant licensing fees), or it was just a contractual requirement to include the OST.

Corellian2019 386 Posted February 6, 2019 Share Posted February 6, 2019 There were a number of wild takes and alternates from the sessions that were not included on this release.

DrTenma 116 Posted February 6, 2019 Share Posted February 6, 2019 I love this score, for me is Zimmer & Co. best work, but I'm not so convinced with the edition. I'm not sure how much the original album adds (and I already own it) and I listened to the Melanesian Choirs some time ago and found it difficult to enjoy. In any case, I'm considering buying it for the first 2 CD's and I guess the liner notes would be also worth it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard Penna 3,690 Posted February 6, 2019 Share Posted February 6, 2019 Revisiting the sessions and comparing to the OST, the only cue I found myself wanting to add was 'Witt With Melanisians' (although which version they've included is the question). It's a case where I think Zimmer did a superb job condensing the score into a listening experience. bruce marshall 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Romão 2,274 Posted February 6, 2019 Share Posted February 6, 2019 I'm very curious about this, as it is one of my favorite Zimmer scores, but the price is quite steep just for two cd's of material that interests me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheUlyssesian 2,478 Posted February 7, 2019 Share Posted February 7, 2019 The only single cue you need from this score is this very famous section from Journey to the Line that has been used in countless trailers and videos. Beginning from 2:52 to 5:12 is the probably the best 2 minutes 20 seconds of Zimmer's so-so career. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ollie 1,059 Posted February 7, 2019 Share Posted February 7, 2019 Congrats to LLL, an impressive release for Zimmer’s fans to have.

gkgyver 1,645 Posted February 8, 2019 Share Posted February 8, 2019 Those samples, are these from highlight tracks? Because I hear a few sweet passages among surrounding drivel. Zimmer's music is so aggravating to someone who wants music to be diverse. He occasionally finds a really nice melody or motif or hook, and then he just stays there and repeats it ad nauseam, in the most clumsy way. And once he's done that to a motif for 5+ minutes, he calls it a suite. bollemanneke and ymenard 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Both scores have some interesting melodic ideas, but when I listen to the full score as composed, the variety that you get with most scores just isn't there. It's the same 4 or 5 melodic ideas in various instrumentations, but it feels like those variations aren't dictinctive enough. I happen to love the ambient/drone sound of TTRL but I think the OST is a very good summation of all his ideas without the repetition. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ymenard 54 Posted February 15, 2019 Share Posted February 15, 2019 so... for those who have this set already, what are the essential tracks missing from the sessions that would be necessary to complete this release? I guess the 4 classical pieces ((Annum per annum, Requiem, Prophecy of the Village Kremna, THe Unanswered question) are an easy anwser, with the complete "sit back and relax" and "cosmic beam experience" ??

Richard Penna 3,690 Posted April 25, 2021 Share Posted April 25, 2021 My position on the score remains the same - the OST is one of my all-time favourite concept albums, and the expanded release is a bit of an organised creative mess. Part of me thought that when the expansion was announced, I might enjoy it as 'more of the OST', but it doesn't work like that. I want to clarify that I haven't lunged into Thor's end of the swimming pool - it's fantastic that the release allowed fans of the full score to hear it, and it's good that it happened. But my view on the OST is basically the same as Thor's (although I added one cue to it, which I originally heard on a Badelt promo) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was vexed, YES vexed, to no end, that this particular version wasn't (couldn't?) be included as part of the alternates. May I ask whether you have that file in hi-res?

bruce marshall 1,315 Posted April 25, 2021 Share Posted April 25, 2021 Well the ost is FANTASTIC but... the cue you mentioned and.the OTHER Melanesian tune are absolutely essential. They make a great listen a greatest of all-time . The Basalt version is on the LLL with only a minor difference. The one you speak of is on YT in good quality Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
