  1. Very interesting indeed, thanks. One question: The meandering exotic vocals in "Each Man is a little War", ist that Feyd-Rautha's Theme? I definitely heard the same "melody" over and over again whenever Feyd-Rautha was shown on-screen, sometimes as vocals, sometimes played by electronic instruments. Sorry I can't check your time stamps myself right now.
  2. I totally agree. "The Creator" also comes to mind. I was hoping there would be something like "Prayer" of that score in Dune, but alas, religioso mode was probably not what Villeneuve was after here. Thus, "The Emperor" is the only cue vaguely going in that direction, I guess, albeit being much more aggressive
  3. There is a nice unreleased cue for a scene featuring Stilgar and Jessica at a sietch's water basin... quite ethereal, actually. As for the album, I am certain now after having seen the movie that there is a motive of sorts for Feyd-Rautha, being formed mostly, but not exclusively, by exotic vocals. I had expected as much already when listening to the album.
  4. Had completely forgotten about this release, and just placed my annual Christmas order of CDs... But: I saw that it's also available as a download. While I prefer CDs I am tempted to buy the download version in order to avoid the additional 15 to 20 € shipping costs.
  5. I'm really tempted to order some of these, but importing CDs to Europe is risky (stuff gets lost or delayed all the time) and has become prohibitively expensive... and the only online store delivering within the EU I could find is even more expensive and has a questionable approach to customer service (withholding orders for ages when one of the items is out of stock, and eventually informing that they will include the – already paid for – missing CD in one of the customer's potential future orders, for instance). Does anyone of you know a better option for within the EU?
  6. Given the miraculous 90 minute, single CD release of Dungeons and Dragons, even more music could have been released, it seems...
  7. He even provided the voice for Indy in some of the Indiana Jones PC games. Because of him, I first watched the German version of the new movie, which I rarely do.
  8. In the movie it is mentioned several times that they are in 213 BC, not 212. It's the beginning of the siege, which makes sense, given that Archimedes needs time to finish the dial (he was killed right after the Roman victory, after all) ;-)
  9. I just watched the movie the second time, this time under better sound conditions, so now I could really enjoy (and discern, actually) the music much better. I noticed so many little nuggets left off the OST album... almost infutiating how the OST frequently skips very interisting passages... actually some of the highlights, IMO. 😆 There is great unreleased music on the train in the beginning (basically everything from the moment Indy gets his hat and whip back). The full version of Voller Returns is great, as is a missing passage when Indy reads the Grafikos disc (descending woodwinds, mirroring the approach to Archimedes' skeleton in his tomb). Then there is the remainder of Archimedes Tomb, really the culmination of the mystery aspects of the score, with a great crescendo. Not to mention all the great stuff in ancient Syracuse. Just love it.
  10. Hm, I read quite a few reviews / remarks, but the consensus was rather that there isn't any really significant music missing, and there certainly was no repeated mention of one specific missing cue as far as I can tell. Now, I would love to hear the complete music for archimedes' tomb (among others), but he was probably not referring to that scene, I guess.
  11. I don't think there are any lifts outside of "Germany, 1944" (?); in the movie I heard quite a few.
  12. When watching DoD last weekend, I was the only one left in the theater for at least the last 5 minutes.
  13. Well, one week has passed since I bought the album, and by now I can say I enjoy this score more than any other in the past years, if not decades. I have spent a significant portion of my spare time listening to the album, often even the whole thing, and just can't get enough. I'm really grateful to have an experience like this one more time.
