Ray Barnsbury 8 Posted June 6, 2007 Posted June 6, 2007 I can't wait to hear The Mission as Williams intended it!Ray Barnsbury
Mr. Breathmask 624 Posted June 6, 2007 Posted June 6, 2007 Huzzah!Good thing I just got a new job.Now I just have to wait until the end of the month to get paid. Oh well. I'll see if I can pick up all three volumes at once while I'm at it.
Morlock 12 Posted June 6, 2007 Posted June 6, 2007 I suppose I should pick them up.... Morlock- who has yet to get any of them
#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 12,386 Posted June 6, 2007 Posted June 6, 2007 It's only 80's Williams, I doubt it will sell out fast.
Morlock 12 Posted June 6, 2007 Posted June 6, 2007 It's only 80's Williams, I doubt it will sell out fast. 80's Williams that's been rerecorded rather well.
Ollie 1,375 Posted June 6, 2007 Posted June 6, 2007 It's only 80's Williams, I doubt it will sell out fast. 80's Williams that's been rerecorded rather well.There's also some other good music on there by worthy composers.
nightscape94 968 Posted June 7, 2007 Posted June 7, 2007 It's still extremely nice to have the original recording, conducted by the man.Tim
DarthArcher 0 Posted June 7, 2007 Posted June 7, 2007 If they're announcing it on Monday (which I thought they had already announced it or was that just the track listing) I wonder how much longer we'll have to wait until it is actually released?
King Mark 3,975 Posted June 7, 2007 Posted June 7, 2007 So you mean you can't actually buy it Monday yet?
Ollie 1,375 Posted June 8, 2007 Posted June 8, 2007 When Intrada anounces a release that means it's available for pre-ordering. It may be a few days before they are available to actually ship.
Bjarte 0 Posted June 8, 2007 Posted June 8, 2007 When Intrada anounces a release that means it's available for pre-ordering. It may be a few days before they are available to actually ship.as usual it means they release it the same day or the day after. I think that is the case here. I dont think we'll have to wait much longer.
Frank Vincent 301 Posted June 8, 2007 Posted June 8, 2007 The album will be announced on Monday and Intrada will begin shipping on Tuesday, according to their website.
King Mark 3,975 Posted June 11, 2007 Posted June 11, 2007 So when is this thing coming up Eastern Time??
Lurker 5 Posted June 12, 2007 Posted June 12, 2007 No, it's not. I just heard from Intrada that you are annoying them.Neil
BigMacGyver 0 Posted June 12, 2007 Posted June 12, 2007 In less than one hour this should be announced. And screenarchives indicates that they will announce more big releases along with the announcement of amazing stories.Here is the announcement of the announcements:June 11 - Big news this evening! Several new release announcements to be made!
Ollie 1,375 Posted June 12, 2007 Posted June 12, 2007 That probably means Percepto will announce whatever box set they have coming.
BigMacGyver 0 Posted June 12, 2007 Posted June 12, 2007 Certainly. I am just wondering how many big releases there will actually be. Amazing Stories, Percepto's Box... and maybe something else? Remember there is also an FSM box set coming up.
Ollie 1,375 Posted June 12, 2007 Posted June 12, 2007 I'm not going to get too excited.I'll just wait and see.
King Mark 3,975 Posted June 12, 2007 Posted June 12, 2007 Me too.I want to be on the first batch of shipments
Maurizio 6,913 Posted June 12, 2007 Posted June 12, 2007 Ordered! I also picked up Intrada's new recording of SPELLBOUND by Dr. Miklos Rozsa, which sounds amusing.
mahler3 548 Posted June 12, 2007 Posted June 12, 2007 Me too! There's something about the unique 80's sound of Williams that is so endearing! Also ordered the latest Intrada Hugo Friedhofer (very underrated composer!) CD , Varese's Rozsa Celebration and Shore's Last Mimzy.- Tim
King Mark 3,975 Posted June 13, 2007 Posted June 13, 2007 I got a second e-mail after the confirmation one tellling me my order was fulfilled so I guess there already shipping
MAG-SI 10 Posted June 13, 2007 Posted June 13, 2007 And they left out the Williams' sample clips....hmmm I wonder why...............
Ollie 1,375 Posted June 14, 2007 Posted June 14, 2007 No they didn't, they're on the website. Just click the underlined cues.
fommes 165 Posted June 18, 2007 Posted June 18, 2007 I've ordered it a few days ago too. Any comments KM?
King Mark 3,975 Posted June 18, 2007 Posted June 18, 2007 I'm listening to The Mission now...the sound is amazing that's for sure.Bootleg deleted.It a bit longer than the Varese re-recording and I always thought the music didn't match.For example "Broken Landing Gear" is a totally different cue .I think Mc Neely's track titles are off.Also "Off We Go" is only on this new set.the tempo and dynamics on this set are WAY better than the Mc Neely recording.I'll say it again...what amazing Williams at the peak of his powers.All of it it goosebump material.Little details ,there's this 3 second thing called "Amazing Stories Act Break".How does Williams come up with these.K.M.
fommes 165 Posted June 18, 2007 Posted June 18, 2007 I just watched The Mission (the episode) for the first time. Goofy ending but absurdly fitting. The rest was very good though. The Williams underscore also really stands out. Great to discover this kind of stuff two decades after the 80s
Luke Skywalker 2,383 Posted June 18, 2007 Posted June 18, 2007 Great to discover this kind of stuff two decades after the 80s Yes but dont you feel a little guilty?Its Williams!
fommes 165 Posted June 19, 2007 Posted June 19, 2007 No I'm already long familiar with The Mission score - from McNeely's recording. It's the series I've recently bought on DVD.
King Mark 3,975 Posted June 19, 2007 Posted June 19, 2007 Before the Varese re-recording I had recorded the Landing cue on Minidisk from the Laserdisk as my only source for this score.
Luke Skywalker 2,383 Posted July 29, 2007 Posted July 29, 2007 Ok, since even and because of the mission bootleg, i got the idea that the main theme used in the series was recorded at the same time as 'The Mission' episode which i thought it was the pilot.Now i see that the 'Ghost Train' Episode is the 1st in the series, and the mission is 5th. So did Williams recorded everything (main titles, boths episodes) together or the main titles with ghost train or the mission, or all three in complete different sessions?I want to know because i would like to kow if the orchestra that played the main theme is the same as the mission or not ... i mean, ghost train is smaller and therefore uses a diferent assemble than that for the more full blown main/end titles and the mission...

The other two arrangements of the main theme were recorded with a smaller orchestra on April 15th 1985 with his score for 'Ghost Train'.
Mr. Breathmask 624 Posted July 29, 2007 Posted July 29, 2007 Which are details that can be found in the Amazing Stories Anthology series' liner notes, if I'm not mistaken.
Diego 21 Posted January 27, 2009 Posted January 27, 2009 So, here's the thing, I'm going to order Batman TAS from moviemusic.com and I was thinking about ordering something else (since I have to pay international shipping). Anyway I would like one of the Amazing Stories CDs, only I'm not sure which one, I'm leaning towards Vol.1 since it has Williams, Elfman and Horner all which I normally like, but Vol.3 also looks interesting. Any helpful comments??
artyjeffrey 20 Posted January 27, 2009 Posted January 27, 2009 Of the three, volume one is played the most often.
