Thank you everybody! I has been a while since I last posted, but I see that there is still a huge enthusiasm around The fact that Rey's Theme is the more elaborate of all the new themes makes me think that in the conversations with JJ Abrams (btw, if he's truly around this board, he is welcome to confirm this hehehe) this was probably one of the "only" things that were sure in the story outline. Or it wouldn't make sense to have such an elaborate theme (even in an infant version, as Anakin's theme in the prequels) than the rest of the new themes, wouldn't it? Also, Kylo Ren is slightly elusive, but a little more clear than the rest. Considering his fate to be, it is normal that his theme is not as intensely presented as Rey's. We'll see in the next chapters for sure! So, my opinion (which is just a personal one, not science based or supported by musical analysis) is that the only outline of the story that had for sure, for the next installments, was based around the story of these two characters...almost only. That would explain why the themes are somehow in an infant state...as if they need to "awake" (pun intented) and the thematic difference between TFA and the other chapters. That's why my theory of hidden message is there. Music supports that, and the fact that these themes are much more carefully crafted than the others. So, why the others aren't? Because they might not know yet, or at the moment of initial production (they might even be waiting for reports on what made good TFA and what not to change things in the next ones...major studios DO that everytime with Franchises). The Prequels themes (specially Anakin's and everything surrounding Palpatine) were meticously crafted, because Williams had already all the answers, that's why the prequels score are much more complex than the OT. There are even some Plagueis / Snoke questions regarding the similarity between Snoke's theme and the ROTS Opera Scene. It is obvious that the aesthetics are the same as the ROTS Palpatine-Anakin Opera Scene. But Snoke's theme is no more than a drone in TFA, without any musical implication other than filling the scene and using a sort of "macabre" male choir sounding to a bad guy, something that has been featured in all the Star Wars Trilogies. But it doesn't seem to explain anything more. Apparently, Snoke was initially conceived as a female character. Andy Serkis even said he didn't have a clue on the character he was playing...besides a bad guy sitting on a podium. That would support my theory that Williams didn't have an answer either and could only play it safe...it was the perfect moment to depict a bad guy (think Voldemort's theme in the 1st Harry Potter movie...the bad guy had a backstory, and so had the music). If Williams didn't do it, it wasn't because he couldn't figure out a theme, but rather because JJ Abrams wouldn't tell him or have yet all the answers... Again, that's just my personal theory. Rey's theme, on the contrary, seem to have lot more implications embedded

Hi! A long time since I haven't posted anything, but and, after a few listens to the Soundtrack, my ear was itching...so I thought I could summon the Nerd in me and have some fun while analyzing some stuff that caught my ear... And...I think John Williams might have been giving more answers than "meets the ear"... at least when it comes to Rey's origin. What do you guys think? Attention, possible spoilers for Episode VIII!

Well, so I thought at the beggining, but I contacted the guy and he is working at universal, not to mention he's a really nice guy...he's just trying to convince his boss that there's enough people willing to buy a complete score. So long he's got something like 100+ answers, and he obviously would need a bit more

I just received this email... I thought it could be interesting 8O "I'm beginning the process of getting a score published, however, there needs to be enough interest. Would you please pass the word around, and have your friends email me as to what interest there would be to have a published score to Back To The Future. Universal won't budge unless there is hard evidence as to the number of people who would be interested in a fully bound edition of the entire score available for purchase to the film score community." So, if you're interested you can send your requests to tjrodier@yahoo.com.

I just happen to live in Madrid... near Chamartin

Thks

Any direct link in amazon? can't find it :S Thks

I can't hear the clips I tried everything, updating to QT7 and all... is there a solution for PC users? Thks

Oh, I didn't know that... I will remove it then... (just found that atrocity...)

Yukkk I just found this... apparently Lucas has tried to buy all the master copies and destroy them... This appears to be only a remix, the whole thing seems to be much worse... EDIT: Removed link as it appears to be unreleased stuff... you've been lucky

I just read it that the thread is closed now... it's really a pitty that all the hard work and editing has gone into this... Jack don't blame you for some spoiled brats who do nothing but insult each other... the work you have done is excellent and a lot of people here appreciate it a lot... All the best, Iván

:? Maybe, though it seems way out of place to me, I don't know... Thks :spiny:

no, dropouts, clipping, digital errors, some noises that don't sound like an instrument... :spiny:

29 views and no one knows? :spiny:

Hi, can anyone verify this? I bought the soundtrack and I was quite surprised to hear some drops in track 7, from seconds 17 to 22... I thought I bought a badly pressed cd and then I checked the one we "all" downloaded before it was released... to my surprise, on different speakers, I was getting the same drop outs... Has anyone noticed this? Thks, Iván
