I've come to this conclusion that JW will probably score it. If I was 81 years old and not knowing how much time I have left, I'd score these movies as long as I could as long as I'm able doing it. What else does he have to do besides the occasional Spielberg movie Also JW probably knows SW is his biggest franchise legacy I also think JJ abrams would ditch Giacchino in a heartbeat if JW wanted to score one his movies. He probably even asked Gia to score Super 8 to sound similar to E.T. Gia is perobaly a second choice to Abrams for not having JW like Spielberg does

Oh, I'm sure it'll be recorded somehow. Getting that, on the other hand, would be difficult. I once tried to get a recording of one of my own compositions from the Cleveland Orchestra that they had played on a 9/11 tribute, and it was more paperwork than adopting a set of twins. I also had to call a friend who knew somebody who knew somebody, etc.....and that was just for the recording of my own work, not the entire concert. Releasing their archival recordings like that could get them into similar legal issues, and sometimes they get a little paranoid about it (and rightfully so, I guess). For one like this though, it would be wonderful if they would ever release it; the Chicago Symphony is certainly one of the greatest in the world.

That's better.

I don't think this should be here, but member Laserschwert (he's JanBing over here) posted this on the Telltale forums. I think it's actually quite brilliant. It takes a little bit to get used at first, but once you do, if feels great! https://soundcloud.com/laserschwert/foxney

I've listened to it several times now. The album for me is much better representation of the score to that of the previous score on its corresponding 44-minute album. That's not so much because these are the only highlights (there is some good material left out), but rather thanks to a strong representation of three major themes: Kirk's, Harrison's, and Spock's. Especially that last one is developed a great deal. Klingon theme appears only in The Kronos Wartet and there are a more variations on it in the films itself. It's a definite improvement over the ST2009 and feels like it belongs to the series, but not something I'd call a score of the year or Giacchino's hall of fame entry. It doesn't have that emotional pull that other Trek scores seem to have, nor is it really intelligent as it should have been (that applies to the film as well). Giacchino knows what he's doing and pays homages where necessary, he's one of the few composers in Hollywood who can get away with writing this type of music. But that's not greatness yet (John Carter was a step in the right direction, however). Oh and I still get the Inception vibe from John Harrison's theme. Karol

My first listen of this score was a positive surprise, the music infused with striking character and emotional pull I found a bit lacking in the first score. The resounding recording by Mr. Iwataki also might have had something to do with it. The album is full of great moments but as you say Blume I am not sure if the dramatic arc is entirely satisfying, the racuous action music taking bulk of the album's running time. Still a fine score that is to my ears an improvement on the first one.

II hope it's not going to sound like his Land of the Lost.

First of all, I think we must be gratefull that Mark was kind in making this available to everyone, despite the fact that this is unlike to be a faithful representation of the actual interview. For the record, while I did mede some conjectures based on things that we know to be facts, and things that only came up in this interview, that to the least sound weird, I did some serious investigation on the interviewer. I should say for starters, I have no feeling toward him whatsoever: never met him, never talked to him, nothing. But I do know people who know him, and none of them had a nice word about him. What I was able to get from at the time, he is just a weird fan, who claims to be able to get interviews with everyone in the business (funny, FSM, a major thing on the film music scene waited years to be able to interview Williams), and when he publish this interviews, composers and musicians always make the most unexpected revelations. Furthermore, several of the people I talked about this, say to be sure that he does change the actual replies on some of this interviews (the ones to be known to have happened, and never with big names... aparently, the Williams and Horners only are interviewed by him alone...) That would be the only time anyone would have found Williams on a less diplomatic manner... at least on interview. Back in 1984, during the time he quited from his Pops job, he had all reason to be pissed, and never had a bad word torward the orchestra. At the time, all the info leaked throught orchestra musicians and personel, not Williams. Also, other funny things... March of the Villains was originally done for the Jawas... Williams always claimed he don't pick on material from previous projects. Complaining on McNeely work, when he was one of the people who reportedly helped the younger composer on his early years in Hollywood... All sound totally unlike Williams. But yes, those are conjectures on my part. And Regarding the comments on Episode I, it said what many fans wanted to hear, not necessarily what Williams thinks. As for being printed on a fancy magazine, that doesn't makes anything true. This interview ran originally on the interviewers fanzine, and was later added to Starfix, or so I found out through my investigation. Just my two cents. Believe on what you will, but I don't trust one word of this one.
