Jay 37,351 Posted April 28, 2014 Share Posted April 28, 2014 It was cool that the blu ray had a nice mix that allowed us to hear a lot of unreleased music in pretty good quality, but there is still so much that was dropped from the film so can only be heard via mockups, not to mention all the music in the film that is still buried in sound effects.A proper 2CD set of the complete score would be a revelation to many and a godsend to us huge fans of the score! It really is a terrifically done score from top to bottom. Incanus 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Jurassic Park OST was issued on vinyl back in 1993. A single LP release. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jay 37,351 Posted April 28, 2014 Share Posted April 28, 2014 Well typically LPs hold 20 minutes per side, and the JP OST runs for over 70 minutes, so that's what I was going by.The addition of these 4 bonus tracks brings the running time up to over 80 minutes, there's no way that's fitting on one LP unaltered.

scallenger 483 Posted April 28, 2014 Author Share Posted April 28, 2014 Yeah I still HOPE there will be a CD edition of the Anniversary release. Although that would have to be a 2 CD release as well, wouldn't it? So hell, they may as well put the whole score on it! LOL. Actually it WOULD be a 1 CD release if they took off the redundant "End Credits" track. But then that would go against the Williams album sequence. Ugh.

Jay 37,351 Posted April 28, 2014 Share Posted April 28, 2014 I don't disagree with you, and i fully support JW and all composers to have the right to edit and arrange the OST album that comes out at the time of the film in any manner they like, selecting their own highlights if they wish. But I also STRONGLY feel that 10+ years after a film's release, an expanded album should be available with ALL the music, in a chronological order, with no cues overlapping unless they were meant to. The existence of this new release should never push the original configuration out of print (it's a damn shame the grammy winning ET album has been OOP for years!)

#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 10,265 Posted April 28, 2014 Share Posted April 28, 2014 I agree.Love the expanded releases of scores like Jaws, E.T. the LOTR ones, but I do still come back the their shorter OST versions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard Penna 3,685 Posted April 28, 2014 Share Posted April 28, 2014 John Williams album sequences rock! There. I just had to say it.I have no problem at all with JW's suite form on this album - think it works very well for this score. In fact, add the missing cue and you'd have a pretty much perfect album presentation.It's just the ordering of those suites that's bizarre. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jay 37,351 Posted April 28, 2014 Share Posted April 28, 2014 I think Williams' album suites (tracks that contain pieces of music from different parts of the film edited together into a musical way) generally sound very good and are a nice way of getting the crux of his score across in the running time the album in question allows. But I will never understand why he chose for this score to put the finale and end credits of the film in the middle of the album, and then repeat the end credits again at the end. That one's a head scratcher to this day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard Penna 3,685 Posted April 28, 2014 Share Posted April 28, 2014 It's been suggested before that it's fashioned like an LP. Like a mini album on both sides.Welcome to the 21st century, John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jay 37,351 Posted April 28, 2014 Share Posted April 28, 2014 Sure, but "T Rex Rescue and Finale" already ends the second half in a conclusive way if that's what he was after (that's also the Spacecamp model). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That one's a head scratcher to this day.That.At least, the Theme has it's value as a standalone cue. even if 95 percent of it is repeated.the end credits is just, heck, just put 'welcome (WF?) to jurassic park' as the last track, man! #SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gruesome Son of a Bitch 6,488 Posted April 29, 2014 Share Posted April 29, 2014 John Williams album sequences rock! There. I just had to say it.Williams' albums were usually great up until the 1990s. Now, it seems he makes terrible choices when selecting, arranging and editing the music. Ironically, I think part of the problem may be that his albums got longer with the additional 20 or so minutes afforded by a CD. With the exception of the Star Wars and Superman double albums, I think the majority of his score albums ran 30-40 minutes in their original release. Most of them were perfect listening experiences, even if the complete scores were also perfect listening experiences (and the albums actually left off a great deal of the score, if not all of the original recordings). Jaws, Raiders, E.T., whether you realize it or not, were perfect albums.Most of his post-1990 albums run too long and there ends up being too much filler and repeated music. The omitted cues become more annoying to many of us, I think, because of this. We get all this fucking boring music (*cough* Indiana Jones IV *cough*) and music we've already heard now in a "Theme From..." or "End Credits" track, but you leave off that 2 minutes of cloud nine complete Williams nirvana from that one scene? Jesus H. Christ. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thor 7,494 Posted April 29, 2014 Share Posted April 29, 2014 Personally, I love his post-90's albums too, and don't see much of a difference, really. He's probably my favourite album producer as he manages to transform the scores into glorious concept albums time and again, which is the whole reason (or one of the most important ones) for me being interested in soundtracks in the first place. The repetition of thematic material at crucial places works well as it would in a symphony. The closer he can get it to work as a 'kind of' independent symphony, the better.But I can sympathize with whoever said that they would need an alternative in expanded releases. In an ideal world, we would have both options available to us -- Williams' reconceptualiztion for people like me and the C&C for those who crave that.

Ricard 2,245 Posted April 29, 2014 Share Posted April 29, 2014 To me they're as great as most 40-minute releases from that period.

Thor 7,494 Posted April 29, 2014 Share Posted April 29, 2014 Was the frustration for you guys really stronger than the pleasure of listening to the music? Because I can relate to that -- only from the other side of the spectrum -- i.e. when the presentation of a score causes so much annoyance that it comes at the cost of listening pleasure.
