According to the feature in this month's BBC Music Magazine:

.

There is a lot worse with film music right now than Göransson.

We got a Yoda quote this very episode. But I think it's great that Göransson's mostly allowed to do his own (lovely) thing without slavishly needing to needledrop JW at every opportunity, it works very well. Hmm, more importantly, who cares? She did a good job. She's orange anyway. Yeah, they've done it once already, and it's not the same here at all.

Nice Yoda quote. That recorder piece at the end... I want it. NOW.

C&Cs are great, but shouldn't be done at the expense of the shorter album alternative. Some folks here hold onto an antagonistic ideology that old album presentations should be eradicated and be made no longer accessible. Can't side with those extremists!

He quoted Kevin Keiner today 😬 And JW 😬

Quite a few wished that as well, as she has worn the costume and makeup before:

Whether you want to kiss the sky or kiss this guy, that's your own choice.

This might be the first Black Friday in five years where I've not bought something. Though, unfortunately, not every year can feature a standout Williams release, aside from War of the Worlds of course

Everyone has his or her own favourite cues of course. While they left off some of the cues that I would definitely have included personally, they did include almost all of the most essential cues that were on my wishlist. And completely out of the blue, it contains Smoking Telegram! It looks like a fantastic release.

Well, I love refreshing but nothing for me in this batch. And that's okay. I've had more luck this year than most people and I still have to invest in classical music, so now's the time to do that.

You wanna get the party started?

I'm probably misremembering the version I saw in the theatres, but this one looks like exactly like the same crap I watched that day

And you've been enjoying them for the past 20+ years

That's one of those films where I saw it and liked it and thought it told a complete story and no sequel was necessary. The trailer that eventually came out for II did not change that opinion, and the news that's a part III is already on the works leads me to only feel that they are taking a cool one-off idea and running it into the ground. But we'll see, maybe II will be worthwhile!

La-La Land Records and 20th Century Studios proudly present a new collection of classic Jerry Goldsmith scores for film and television composed for 20th Century Fox: GOLDSMITH AT 20th. This collection will feature new authoritative liner notes and unified packaging sure to please avid collectors but also serve as a perfect gateway for listeners experiencing this music for the first time. GOLDSMITH AT 20th VOL. 1 – VON RYAN’S EXPRESS / THE BLUE MAX: LIMITED EDITION (2-CD SET) LLLCD 1544 Music by Jerry Goldsmith Limited Edition of 2000 Units RETAIL PRICE: $24.98 Volume 1 is a 2-CD presentation of the composer’s scores from two large-scale period war dramas – 1965’s WWII-era VON RYAN’S EXPRESS, starring Frank Sinatra and Trevor Howard, and directed by Mark Robson, and 1966’s WWI-era THE BLUE MAX, starring George Peppard and James Mason, directed by John Guillermin. Filmmaker Rod Lurie proclaims Goldsmith as “the greatest composer for military films,” and this handsome release more than proves that claim, serving up soaring orchestral might that powerfully enhances these wartime epics. Both out-of-print scores return here with all-new art design by Jim Titus and new in-depth liner notes by writer Jeff Bond. The 2-CD re-issue is produced by Mike Matessino and Neil S.

Scott and Harry Morgan, directed by Irvin Kershner. These two striking Goldsmith scores showcase the composer’s unique versatility during exciting period in his storied career. Whether it’s THE DETECTIVE’s urban jazzy swagger, or THE FLIM-FLAM MAN’s playful and rural rambunctious riffs, the composer is up to the challenge, providing notable music that expertly enhances both films. Both out-of-print scores return here with all-new art design by Jim Titus and new in-depth liner notes by writer Jeff Bond. The re-issue is produced by Mike Matessino and Neil S.

Schaffner), and one from the ’70s – 1974’s espionage comedy, S*P*Y*S, starring Elliot Gould and Donald Sutherland, and directed by Irvin Kershner. From the jazz-influenced drama of THE STRIPPER to the broad and lively comic antics and action of S*P*Y*S, these two dynamic Goldsmith scores demonstrate the composer’s unique and boundless talents across two decades. This collection’s presentation of S*P*Y*S (previously available in truncated form only in a long out-of-print box set) is expanded with never-before-released material. Also making its debut on this collection, is the bonus track premiere release of “Pacer’s Farewell” from the 1960 western, FLAMING STAR, starring Elvis Presley. This marked Goldsmith’s very first work for the studio. Both previously out-of-print scores return here with all-new art design by Jim Titus and new in-depth liner notes by writer Jeff Bond. The reissue is produced by Mike Matessino and Neil S. Bulk, mastered by Matessino and is limited to 2000 units.

TORA!: LIMITED EDITION (2-CD SET) LLLCD 1563 Music by Jerry Goldsmith Limited Edition of 2000 Units RETAIL PRICE: $26.98 STARTS SHIPPING OCT 12 La-La Land Records and 20th Century Studios proudly present a new collection of classic Jerry Goldsmith scores for film and television composed for 20th Century Fox: GOLDSMITH AT 20th Vol. IV – ACE ELI AND RODGER OF THE SKIES / TORA! TORA! TORA!. Bringing back out-of-print favorites while also debuting previously unreleased music, this collection will feature new authoritative liner notes and unified packaging sure to please avid collectors but also serve as a perfect gateway for listeners experiencing this music for the first time. Volume IV showcases two more of the composer’s original feature film scores – this time from two ’70s aviation-themed dramas – 1973’s post WWI father-and-son-barnstorming story ACE ELI AND ROGER OF THE SKIES, starring Cliff Robertson and Eric Shea, and directed by JOHN ERMAN, and 1970’s TORA! TORA! TORA!, the Pearl Harbor docudrama starring Martin Balsam, Joseph Cotten, E.G. Marshall, So Yamamura and Tatsuya Mihashi, and directed by RICHARD FLEISCHER, KINJI FUKASAKU and TOSHIO MASUDA. While the films are only connected tangentially by the concept of aircraft and pilots, both scores on this 2-CD presentation explore wildly different sonic landscapes and emotions, and both soar as works of musical art. ACE ELI presents two unique programs – The first is the original Goldsmith score in mono, in the film’s original sequence. The film was later recut and additional music was written with contributions from Alexander Courage. These cues, and the song “Who’s for Complainin’?” are presented in stereo alongside surviving stereo Goldsmith compositions in a sequence closer to the released version. TORA! TORA! TORA! utilizes the same master as our previous release. Both previously out-of-print scores return here with all-new art design by Jim Titus and new in-depth liner notes by writer Jeff Bond. The reissue, limited to 2000 units, is produced by Mike Matessino and Neil S. Bulk, with ACE restored, mixed and mastered by Chris Malone and TORA mastered by Dan Hersch and Mike Matessino.

Film music restoration experts Mike Matessino and Chris Malone join your humble hosts Yavar and David to discuss the varied challenges of working on seven different Goldsmith television projects composed between 1968 and 1975!

I've always had this problem and it annoys the hell out of me. Popular music is, of course, popular, for... well, reasons. But for most of it, I cannot understand much of what the singer is saying. I guess I can attribute this phenomena to the vocals being drowned out by the instrumental elements, which largely disables me from distinguishing the lyrical content. For years, I thought I was alone in this, mainly because people often ridiculed me for not understanding lyrics or mishearing them. Another big point of frustration. But thankfully, I found a site called Misheard Lyrics, which reassured me that I wasn't alone in my experience. Sadly that site appears to have vanished. So, anyhoo... anyone else?

Tython I think originated in the Tales of the Jedi comics, but we see it fully fleshed out in the game Star Wars the Old Republic as a starting area for Jedi. Supposedly it’s one of the first places the Jedi ever settled, so to see it brought back up in the NU is neat. Curious to see what they’ll do with it Another neat EU nod was the model of the guard droids, HK-87 units, what is a clear reference to HK-47 and his line of assassin droids in Knights of the Old Republic

Blue vomit... Admiral Thrawn, there's clearly a link.

Welp, nothing for me on this batch but happy for those that are getting what they want! Sadly, The JW BF streak is now over, but what an impressive streak it was!!! All outstanding release, we have truly been blessed! All things considered with the pandemic world we’re in, I consider us fortunate to get the 3 JW releases we got in 2020. Hopefully next year is safer and more productive for everyone, and looking forward to more quality JW releases for 2021!

Only when you say stupid things.

They already went on sale and SOLD OUT!

Yep same here. I don't listen to "contemporary" music at all, but just hearing it on TV or in a store or something I can't understand a word they're saying. It's as if they're speaking Chinese or something. Sometimes I'll pick out what I think is an intelligible sentence only to later learn that I misheard every word.

Sadly, The Other seems to be controlled by Varese in perpetuity, according to Bruce Kimmel, unless LLL and Varese collaborate on a new release, like with the Apes box set

George must not have liked Jabba's theme very much. The name of the "more sinister" insert suggests that George probably commented Jabba's music wasn't sinister enough.

Use the shortened version that has been optimised for the best reading experience. And don't hesitate to swap words around.

I was just about to look out for the Intrada double score releases of "Fate Is the Hunter/Shock Treatment" and "Van Ryan's Express/The Detective". Now that the later are both being re-released, I'm almost certain that the former will as well. Simpson joked about that already in their 90s' episodes. I didn't even notice that the "Fox" wass gone at first. HOLY SHIT! The Mephisto Waltz and The Other are 20th Century Fox titles! Please let this be a double feature in this series...

I've always had a bit of trouble with this. I think my brain is just built to focus more on the composition itself, not so much the lyrics. I have less trouble appreciating both if I'm listening on my headphones in a quiet room, and when I can understand lyrics, they really can enhance my appreciation of a song. But give me a random song playing on the radio in the background and I usually won't be able to pick out much of what's being sung. (I'll be able to play it for you at the piano, though!)

I do hope we get to see a shot of Ezra's mangled and deformed corpse at some point to confirm he's gone for ever. It's so funny that people are losing their shit over a Kevin Keiner theme as well It's a great theme and I love it and I'm glad it's being brought to a wider audience.

I like the name! Finally they can stop officially referring to him as "The Child".

I know, but it's better than nothing I suppose. I still have some favourite cues that elude me in these sets. Although I reckon this one would have made a great concept album if it excluded the dialogue overlays. But I also love the suite in this one:

They left off the best cues- again!. Four effing volumes and they can't get their act together😠

And no John Williams releases as said earlier. Interesting to know that Goldsmith @20th Series is taking off. Some missed OOP cds to look forward too.

The William Ross Collection!

I'm here and I'm ready. I don't know what else to say.

28? Wth?

No. One more hour... ...until I go to bed.

5 hrs. 53 minutes.

First disc of A.I. is great I think. Yeah it’s not very accesible, but if you’re in for some kind of hallucinant trip it’s perfect. The second disc is something else though.

And now, he's the last jedi.

No, because music in film and music on album have two different functions. A score can be perfect for the film it was written for, but not be interesting or listenable as a complete and chronological album. Of course it’s possible for the music to be able to fulfill both functions simultaneously, but it’s not common.

This forum has a "report post" feature and this is now the most reported post we've ever had in the entire history of this forum. This post is a reply to one short sentence: "Seems like 2015 is when the BF slate started having really high profile releases" I am shock and dismayed that a label representative, let alone a label owner, would choose to sign in to our forum to post a reply like this to what is a very innocuous post. The post never read to me as "Boy, LLL sure sucked in the past, 2015 was the year they FINALLY got good!", it read as "Boy, 2015 is when they kicked things up a notch!" There are many "score collectors" who don't happen to like Star Trek music, or don't happen to like Lethal Weapon music, or don't happen to like Home Alone music. Why would you want to bully and shame them when all they did was express positivity towards different titles? This forum is full of film score fans who are constantly praising and purchasing from all the specialty labels, and LLL gets more attention than any label for a number of factors, such as the sheer amount of John Williams releases you've put out, and the fact that we skew younger than a forum like FSM so there is more discussion of 80-00s scores and you've also released more of those than the other labels. Day after day our forum members are constantly say positive things about LLL and we as a collective are always looking forward to seeing what's next, and I have spent lots of my free time doing what I can to promote LLL releases in the forums as well as via main page articles, which gets shared all over social media, providing more exposure to the great work you do. I can't believe you'd decide to come here and pick apart a post that you perceived as a negative one, when there is an ocean of positivity on this site about LLL across too many different threads to ever count. I also can't believe that you'd go beyond disagreeing with the opinion shared, but also elect to call his statement "stupid" and a "dumb ass comment". I think you should apologize to Richard, who has provided two followup posts that detail what it was he was actually trying to say: And I hope in the future you don't plan to attack your paying costumers on our forums, even if they do express a dislike of something you've released. Every single score collector on planet earth has different opinions of which scores they like and which they don't. You should know that as a whole, we appreciate and admire everything you do, and can't wait to see what's next.

I could do without the tie-ins. I have very little interest in any of the animated series, so for me it just feels like I'm missing stuff...but it's not stuff I particularly want to take the time to learn. I'm very aware that there are plenty of people who feel very differently about the animated shows and/or the tie-ins. Maybe this season will somehow get me onboard with that.

I always liked the two island prologues as presented on both first two JP albums. Love Pledge and The Arena is a great track as assembled for the OST. Escape from the City is good. As is the album version of Red Planet. The attack on Jakku village is a nice concise track. And how Williams removes the X-Wing charge from The Ways of the Force is well done too (given that we already have the concert version). I'd say the whole album is well put together like this. Karol

T-Rex Rescue & Finale (JP) Water Kite Sequence (Jaws 2) Daryl Rejected (Witches of Eastwick) Dracula's Death ...a few examples.

New audio interview with Conrad Pope, talking about the music and the legacy of John Williams, the art form of film music and his life and career in the Hollywood film music community. It’s a fun one! Hope you all enjoy! https://thelegacyofjohnwilliams.com/2019/04/26/conrad-pope-interview/
