Awesome!!! Great to hear all this new music! But now there's no View Page Source trick :-(

And we don't get to hear the missing bars of The Adventure Continues! But hey, glad to get to hear more samples!

[Jay 43,082]

YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Man, these new samples are incredible, even better than the original ones!!!!!!!!!!!

(Apologies to eitam, the subject is mine)

[Brónach 1,320]

Awesome.

Snowy's Theme is great. As is the opening track! And more statements of Tintin's Indyesque theme. And the ship's theme!

Aaah!

[Jay 43,082]

And the sound quality is better too. This is awesome!!!!!!!!!!!

[Brónach 1,320]

I hear a new theme!! in Sir Francis and Clash of the Cranes!!

I love the tone of this score. And Haddock's theme. And the french-like moments combined with the mickey-mousing combined with the pirate music combined with the heroic moments combined with the jazzy moments etc

Da-da, da da daaa is definitely Tintin's theme.

And listen for the development in the Sir Frances sample of the Unicorn theme!!!

[crocodile 9,235]

Sounds good!

[filmmusic 2,686]

I also love Snowy's theme!!!!!!!

Do I hear any Shostakovich piano concertos influence there? What do you think?

[Brónach 1,320]

The disoriented piano interventions? It's great. I'm unfamiliar with these concertos, I'll check them out.

[eitam 381]

Yes, it sounds better and better ! At this point, I can't even figure out which track I'm most looking forward to !

[Brónach 1,320]

I like the use of woodwinds here!

[Romão 2,432]

It sounds wonderful

[Jonesy 55]

Excellent!

[Quintus 5,778]

!

[filmmusic 2,686]

Well, listening more and more to the samples i think this is definitely better than Indy 4 score!

Of course the film too must offer the opportunites for someone to make various diverse cues, and Tintin does this.

[Romão 2,432]

Love Rackham's theme in Clash of the Cranes

[Jay 43,082]

This website did a wayyyyyyyyyyyyyyy better job at selecting which segment of the track to take 30 seconds from. Every one of these is terrific!!!!

[filmmusic 2,686]

The thing I can say is: At last! we can hear some REAL film music (because i was so dissapointed from the film scores of last years)

[Joni Wiljami 1,237]

This is just awesome!!!

[Romão 2,432]

I'm loving Haddock's theme, is so true to character

[Sandor 858]

Awesome.

[Neimoidian 14]

Good to know. I on the other hand don't listen any new samples till I watch the movie.

[Jonesy 55]

I like more than KOTCS.

[Brónach 1,320]

Ooh! The flute flourishes in Snowy's Theme! Haddock's theme with the horns! Clarinet and accordion in Introducing the Thompns! The Trumpet&xilophone insanity in Karaboudjan! Ooh!

[Incanus 5,858]

Sounds excellent! And yes Jason as you said the choice of sample segments is much better.

And there is definitely an element of fun in the music, a certain feel that makes you think the composer had fun while writing it. The orchestrations practically glow in this one.

[Muad'Dib 1,954]

This is amazing! I definetly love what I'm hearing, and I imagine that Williams must have had so much fun doing this!

Two minor things: First, now I get what FilmComposer911 meant with the Hook ripoff, although I don't see it so much as a rip-off and more as a sort of auto-parody.

And second, The Adventures Continues!!!! It's amazing. I reminds me just a bit of the Force Theme, but on speed

[Brónach 1,320]

Yeah

Where? I don't hear it.

[Muad'Dib 1,954]

Where? I don't hear it.

Captain Haddock Takes the Oars. It's very similar to Captain Hook's Theme.

[Romão 2,432]

Is it? They might be musically similar (I really can't tell), but they convey totally different feelings

[Brónach 1,320]

The twist on that theme in Return to Marlinspike is great. Williams seems to be covering the different sides of Haddock!

[Incanus 5,858]

Where? I don't hear it.

Captain Haddock Takes the Oars. It's very similar to Captain Hook's Theme.

I can't hear a very direct melodic connection. Perhaps the Hook/Smee theme's awkward gait is similar to Haddock's inebriated music.

[Brónach 1,320]

I also like the rising statements of Tintin's theme in Escape from the Karaboudjan.

[Jay 43,082]

Captain Haddock Takes the Oars. It's very similar to Captain Hook's Theme.

It's funny - people think Haddock's Theme sounds like Hook in that sample, and like Home Alone in the "Capturing Mr. Silk" sample

I also like the rising statements of Tintin's theme in Escape from the Karaboudjan.

Yea, reminds me of Indiana Jones.

Home Alone and Hook are quite closely related sound wise so comparisons to both are not far fetched or surprising.

Yea, reminds me of Indiana Jones.

Agreed. The heroic development sounded very satisfying and Indiana Jones.

[fommes 161]

Excellent stuff. This might be even better than Deathly Hallows Part 1!

[Hlao-roo 390]

Some nice timbral variety but fails to break any new ground. Sounding like another solid but unremarkable effort from Williams.

[Incanus 5,858]

It was nice to hear the Williams does quote the main theme on the Adventures of Tintin track which is only logical but the previous sample ousted the rendition of the main theme completely.

There is a definitely European vibe to the orchestration and instrumentation but it is very classic JW sound at the same time, the music brimming with dexterity, fun and heroics.

[Quintus 5,778]

I'm sure I've probably missed it and it's been investigated and resolved here but why are the the track titles completely different on Amazon UK?

That is the preliminary track list sent obviously as an oversight to many retailers before the final track list was locked. It seems Sony has not been too efficient correcting the error. The actual track list is 18 tracks long.

[Quintus 5,778]

Ah, thanks.

[Hlao-roo 390]

I'm not hearing a whole lot of "classic" Williams sound -- people were saying the same things in advance of Indy IV -- although I see where the Raiders comparisons are coming from.

[Quintus 5,778]

I can't listen to any of these till the morning, annoyingly. I'm in bed.

Depends on what you mean by classic. And please let's not go into it very deeply so as not to derail the discussion.

I meant that it sounds mostly like the John Williams we know and love. In Tintin's case the music reminds me of Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade a lot in its light hearted and adventurous tone.

[Ricard 2,381]

Don't you have earphones?

[BLUMENKOHL 1,087]

Caution be damned.

This sounds terrific.

Quint, we have an entire thread about that very subject right here: http://www.jwfan.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=20688

Oh right, because you have an ipad, which doesn't play Flash. LOL.

I do, but the logistics of getting them right now are enough of a hurdle to put me off till breakfast time

Jason, you haven't heard of Skyfire, have you? It plays flash content.

LOL

[Hlao-roo 390]

Caution be damned.

This sounds terrific.

It's definitely "terrific" relative to pretty much anything else being written in Hollywood today, no question.

Faint praise but still praise.
