Uni 306 Posted June 13, 2014 Share Posted June 13, 2014 I don't listen to much SW anyway. It's run its course and sounds slightly dated to my ears which doesn't mean i don't like it, only that i don't see much reason to listen to it these days. I'm with you on this. They're great, classic, wonderful scores, of course, but while I can listen to Superman or E.T. or Raiders or most of Williams' other scores to no end, for some reason I've reached a point of "peace" with the SW scores, and rarely give them much listening time anymore.4 days to go till the press release!Waitaminute . . . the countdown clock (which is still running) says 6 days.

A 28-page CD booklet features handsome art design by Jim Titus and Matessino’s exclusive, in-depth essay, approved by the director and composer. EMPIRE OF THE SUN (2-CD SET) is a limited edition release of 4000 units.

filmmusic 1,823 Posted June 17, 2014 Share Posted June 17, 2014 WOW! that's great news that we get a 2nd disc with more music!I feared it would be the OST!So, i guess someone has to have the OST too to have a really complete presentation, since that one contains album edits and stuff, right?edit: track 8 from disc 2 seems to be Cadillack of the skies. Maybe the concert arrangement? or the ost version.Although if i'm not mistaken it has an asterisk next to it, which means previous unreleased.So maybe it's the concert arrangement from the recording sessions?? (which would explain the "previously unreleased", since a new recording is available in Spielberg/Williams collaboration cd) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now, whether that will translate into a strong listening experience remains to be seen. Karol It's a completely different listening experience for sure. I mean, if you wanted to listen to the OST in chronological order, you'd have to do this: 01 Suo Gan (2:19) 09B [3:03-end] Home and Hearth (1:34) 12A [0:00-2:21] No Road Home (2:21) 05 Imaginary Air Battle (2:35) 04 Lost in the Crowd (5:39) 10 The Streets of Shanghai (5:11) 09A [0:00-3:03] Toy Planes (3:03) 03 Jim's New Life (2:33) 11 The Pheasant Hunt (4:24) 08 The British Grenadiers (2:25) 02 Cadillac of the Skies (3:48) 06 The Return to the City (7:45) 12B [2:21-end] Seeing the Bomb (3:49) 07 Liberation / Exsultate Justi (1:46) 13 Exsultate Justi (4:59) I think Williams made a poor choice putting "Cadillac of the Skies" as track #2 of the presentation.

Impressive. And if they succeeded in delivering the complete unaltered untampered score for the film for this release when JW was involved all the more impressive.

He set e.g. Mecha World to open A.I. OST in similar way, whether or not a good choice but I can understand the composer's "musical programme" logic at work.

What do you mean? Since there's never been a bootleg or recording session leak for EOTS, we've heard NOTHING except what's on the OST in "great" quality. The only way to hear the rest of the score is via DVD/Blu-Ray rips, and the Alternates have of course never been heard by anyone in 25+ years...
