The FYC promo is supposed to include music "as heard in the film", so there is no comparison to be done, is there?

Yes that is the case here. The FYC album has all the music as heard in the film, edits and all so there really isn't anything to add. Jason has done a quite extensive break-down and analysis of the score as a whole. You can check it out here: http://www.jwfan.com...is&fromsearch=1

Ars superior est vita hominum.

"We pop out and come into the world and music is there. We didn't invent it - it's all organised in the atmosphere by divinity or whatever. It's a miracle." - John Williams-

I think music is a stream of some kind. It could be blood. It could be water. It could be ether. Whatever it is it seems to be a living, organic force that’s in motion, that serves humanity and is part of humanity and part of what describes us as humans. We sing, play, dance, all the things that we do. And there is a vibrant and great literature we have been given. ... As musicians, we join the stream. We swim in the stream with all the other millions of music makers. It’s a life force, a strong one, surrounding us and we are part of it. -John Williams-

This must be one of the most complex scores to try and do a comprehensive fan edit of.

That's the easy bit. But because there have been 2 distinct recording sessions, and we have little documented leads to establish what is originakl and what is revised music....

I just wanna say, I love that the FYC has almost all the music in the film.

My favourite part is when Tintin's Secondary Theme is played when he holds Thom(p?)son's elastic wallet.
Besides Pursuit of the Falcon, it's my favourite statement of both of Tintin's themes.

I'm not sure if this has been pointed out yet, but the drum is different in the FYC (movie) version. It seems louder and there is an added part not in the OST.

Do you mean Introducing the Thompson's and Snowy in Pursuit? The whole performance of the Thompsons segement is new, the orchestrations are notably different plus it contains a lot of unreleased music. I like it more than the OST version actually as it is even more humorous.
Also the Adventures of Tintin has a more prominent drum kit mix.

Ah, yes I meant "The Adventures of Tintin".
But the drum is different! It is louder, but there is an added part.
Compare 0:40-0:47 and 1:22-1:34 (Both FYC) with the OST version.
They have an added drum part. I don't know what to call it.

Well it is just a more prominent drum kit part.

And Stefan, calm down. You can quite easily compile OST and FYC into a nice listening experience with minimal editing. Of course if you can't abide some film edits then it will be a bigger problem.

I feel pretty much the same :lol:

I'm determined to wait the decades that are necessary for this to be figured out by those who have the information and the music.
