Apparently they just showed something! Can't find an online clip yet, though. I'll watch it tomorrow morning.

I'm really liking what I hear. Since this is a completed scene from the film, it's highly likely this is Williams music.

Well that was too short to get much of an idea of anything

Yeah. I like the playfulness of it, though. That little bit almost reminds me more of Indy than Star Wars.

Posted

Yes, its a bit Crystal Skull ish

The word that comes to mind is fun. That is a very good thing.

I hear a lot of Indy 4 in there, not that it's inherently a bad thing.

Also could be Finn's theme.

I'm actually hearing a bit of NcNeely's Shadows of the Empire, specifically the brass from Xixor's Palace. Not hearing the Indy 4 comparisons at all.

He never really took the brass to these high notes for prolonged moments in the prequels, so here's hoping he has some soaring high strings writing as well. That was always a hallmark of his work in the OT.

:woop:

So much for people claiming they'll wait until they watch the movie to listen to any bit from the score...

Technically he did watch the movie ;)

The music seems burried under the sound effects. I could listen to the music only in the music only embed above.

Uh.... You need to check your ears methinks.

I prefer generic modern Williams to generic "classic" Williams. Now that stuff is boring.

I never said I wouldn't listen to short officially released bits of score. Just gigantic entire-album leaks.

I know that video through my earbuds won't sound the same as the audio mix does in the theater, but I am damn pleased with how loudly the music is mixed in that clip.

Sure!

They're holding it back. We haven't heard shit.

Yeah, but that's a good thing in my book. I'd rather hear the score first in one sitting than have it drip-fed to me over time through multiple batches of audio samples, music videos, and 30 minute previews.

If this were a Ben Burtt mix, the sound of sand bouncing off BB8 and the footsteps of our main characters would be mixed louder than the music.

Exactly! It was dialogue, music, then sound effects. I hope that is what the film is like in the theater.

I have this strange feeling about JJ's mixing of this music.

An unfamiliar feeling... um... optimism?

The music is the least important element. People want to hear those explosions rock the subwoofers in their multiplex cinema.

"I have a good feeling about this!"
