Oh god, I had forgotten about that! I think the trailer did have some misdirects too, if I recall. And the trailer music they used (not from the film) was very action-oriented hahaha. Was very late 90s/early 2000s of them to hype it up like some intense thrill ride when in reality it was more of a moody atmospheric mystery film. I think the cast and the basic premise sold the movie to audiences. Back then, movie stars usually still carried a film's success compared to today. Are there any true movie stars left that are guaranteed to sell tickets?

Always loved this film and score! Shame about all the spoilers in the listing (and some of the track titles too, if you read into them). The movie always felt cozy to me? The perfect rainy/gloomy weather, staying in at home for the day kind of film. I remember it being a bit of a hit at the time (unless I am mistaken) and was even parodied in one of the "Scary Movie" films. A shame it kind of got forgotten after that, so I hope this release may convince more to watch it. Then again, given how critical we have all become, I'm sure some will see it as derivative trash and wonder what the hell I ever saw in it. Oh well.

I love how shady it feels to keep it unsearchable, to be like, "Those in the know will find it! Everyone else has to get it on eBay for astronomical prices or buy our astronomically-priced box set!"

If I had to criticize, that is the one mixing choice I didn't agree with on the release. On past releases it was much more balanced at that part. I suppose they were trying to match the film mix more but it just doesn't work for me.

Interesting! I sent an email to clarify. We'll see what they say! But you're probably right. Damn, I want a piano demo haha.

Speaking of Godzilla, looks like there is a new re-release of the Godzilla David Arnold score from BuySoundtrax? Like before, it is a 3-CD set. But the Bonus Tracks on the page listing seem to have 2 NEW bonus tracks that wasn't on the previous 3-CD version? However, they aren't seen on the back cover. Could this be an error? https://buysoundtrax.myshopify.com/products/godzilla-the-ultimate-edition-original-soundtrack-by-david-arnold-3-cd-set New tracks are bolded by me: BONUS TRACKS: 12. Logo #3 (0:19) 13. The Beginning (no choir) (3:34) 14. The Boat Gets It (alt.) (1:11) 15. Footprints / New York / Audrey (alt.) (0:51) 16. Evacuation (alt.) (2:43) 17. The Garden Gets It (alt.) (3:03) 18. Big G Goes To Monster Heaven (alt.) (4:32) 19. Godzilla (Solo Piano) (2:41) 20. Gojira (Album Version) (2:47)

That's so odd that it's only for European releases! It actually has grown on me, despite it being inferior to the Jonsi song.

Wow I didn't realize it's only 2,000 copies. Seems kind of low considering.

That's why I believe someone like John Powell would have been a better choice as assistant in a role like this, which he basically already proved with Solo. Breathing new life into the work of Williams. Look at what he did for "Reminiscence Therapy" for that score. It's largely a temp track of Williams past moments, but woven in such a fresh and exciting way that it feels like it has its own flow and has fun with it.

When can we expect the first podcast interview to drop?

Is it wrong that Pulse Of The City is one of my favorite cues of the entire score?

The only LLL goof I can think of that required repressing discs was for AI. But in that case it was a happy goof that accidentally gave us more music. LOL.

OMG I can't wait to get this! Very excited! Insane that we are getting the songs!

You hit the translation circuit!
