Right, but now you have access to the cues recorded for the film AND the concert arrangements. So why can't you enjoy both now?
because as I've said I was negative from the start, and rarely I will change my mind for something like this.
And I always prefer the film versions in soundtracks. I don't like the "album-notion". as I wouldn't like eg. a concert arrangement of the last movement of Beethoven's 9th symphony.
Anyway, I don't say they're bad, it's just that i rarely will listen to them (if not never) since we have the film versions now.
i guess I'm something like the opposite of Thor?

I'm afraid all releases (and the European ones) have only hearing impaired subtitltes.
And in these films - that rely much on sound - it will be extremely annoying.
(eg. [sound of alien approaching], [man screaming], [slimy sound of alien's saliva dripping]
) -
Wait - you don't like the concert arrangements Williams recorded for the original ET LP? Why in the world not? It's some of his most beautiful work!
Well, I loved the film, and when I got this cd I waited to hear the film versions, and when I heard that this was not the case I was dissapointed..
So, I was negative about them from the start.
(I especially dislike the introduction to "Flying")

I have no idea sorry
(And I'm not at home to check)
Oh, ok. I hope someone knows because I'd like to buy this set.

4 pages about this and hardly a single word about the music itself.
If anything, these reissues and expansions are a golden opportunity to delve into the details of the music (whether in context with the film or alone) once more.
What's everyone's take on the MUSICAL CONTENTS of this score?
Bah, It's just a complete and chronological film version of the score different from the re-recordings on the OST. Are you interested in knowing more?
Yeah, preferably something about the music itself.
I guess I have to wait untill people get it untill we can discuss that. I didn't realize we did separate threads about the musical contents.
Well, the film versions of the cues (i assume) are different than the rerecordings.
I mean listening to the maint tiles alone, the music is different.
So, I'll have to get this set to have a complete image of the music.
(eg. I don't like very much the re-recordings/arrangements of the original E.T. album [although most people do], but i love the film versions which were released in the following cds)
other than that, i would say that the music as I heard it in the original cd, is good. it's not something I'm crazy about, neither the style, but it shows that it is skillfully composed music, even for such a small group of instruments.
I had seen the film some years ago, don't remember it much, but i remember that it was weird.
i'm not a fan of this genre either, so my opinion wouldn't be impartial.

Great deal! Probably the best Blu Ray set I own. Complete worth $20 even if you are just buying it for the first two films.
I have to ask a favour Jason or anyone else that owns this set.
Do you remember if the films have plain English subtitles too besides English for hearing impaired?
(usually Bluray.com and the back covers have incomplete information)

Alien Anthology 6 BDs, golden box deal of the day!!
$19.99

Wow. Very cool Filmmusic
Thanks!
-
Well, surely many own the Rykodisc already -- or have seen the film -- so they have some connection to the music? Or is this release the first experience for most people?
Well I thought this thread is for the particular release. I'm sure (?) there would be another thread that discusses the music in general.
Anyway, in case anyone is interested I had made a 2 staves transcription of the Main titles theme (film version).
If you try to play it at the piano, you must use the pedal in appropriate places, and also use your hands at will for easier playing. (meaning moving the chords on the right hand etc.)

Thor nobody has it yet. We will probably have it in a month or so? I am not sure..

I just watched "A River Runs through it".
Wow!
I had seen it again in my teens and I think I was a bit bored.
Now I loved it!
A simple nostalgic film.
During the film i had the hunch that this is a real story, and indeed it was! The story of a writer and scholar, Norman Maclean.
While I found Isham's Oscar nominated score charming - though discreet, I wondered what wonders would have Williams done with this film!
-
Yeah, although I adore his romantic drama scores, it would be interesting to hear a score of his for a big Hollywood blockbuster movie.
-
I know it's a long shot, but imagine that film being Diana!! I would be thrilled!! He was my first choice for this film.
And still I don't see any composer credit in imdb, although we had heard the news about Rachel Portman.
-
Looking forward to it!
I love Korzeniowski's music and I wish we would be offered more Hollywood jobs from now on. I think I have said this multiple of times.
He had to write the score in a really tight deadline
This sounds to me like writing a substitute score for a film that its original score was rejected.
-
I'm just listening to the Raiders! WOW!!!!
-
Thelma & Louise (a couple of hours ago).
It was a very good film! I liked it!
(although I did know the ending from before. I had seen it years ago)
More than 2 hours past so quickly.
The slow motion sequence with Morricone's organ cue is fantastic.This is the scene that i didn't like at all due to the music!
otherwise, yes, it was a fair film..
-
I don't know. Guess because I've never really noticed any such 'looping' when I've listened to it. As I said, though, I'll pay some attention to it now that I'm aware of it.
it's like eg. listening to the Superman March with the fanfare, and someone - after the first statement of the fanfare - inserts it again from the beginning, and so you hear it in the piece twice!
While it is originally written of playing once.
Yes, i wasn't aware of it too when i had heard Heidi, but now that I listen to it, it bugs me..

it's Theatre.
Kraft Mystery Theater is a different series than Kraft Mystery Theatre from what I've understood.
hehe..
it's confusing indeed.
here's the series for which Williams wrote music:
http://ctva.biz/US/Anthology/KraftMysteryTheatre.htm
it says:
(Another series titled Kraft Mystery Theater aired on NBC from during the Summer of 1958)
and when you go to the page of that series:
http://ctva.biz/US/Anthology/KraftTelevisionTheatre_NBC_12_%28Summer1958%29.htm
it's again Kraft Mystery Theatre although it said otherwise, and then it says:
Another series titled Kraft Mystery Theater aired on NBC from during Summers of 1961, 1962, & 1963)
pointing to the first one!
-
Eh, moot at this point. One copy less for Thor is one more copy for someone who actually wanted it!
Or maybe one who wanted to sell it at double and triple price at ebay when it'd be sold out!
Because there are those people - unfortunately - too.
-
National Velvet is a fantastic film
I agree! I'm looking forward for it to be released in Bluray.
on a sidenote, I wish I had Born on the 4th of July in Bluray to watch tomorrow!
I have it on DVD, but I can't watch a DVD when I know there is a BLuray out!
I may watch "Star and Stripes forever" (a 1952 pseudo-biopic of Sousa) instead.

and KRAFT MYSTERY THEATER,
KRAFT MYSTERY THEATRE
I was just reading again your thread at FSM yesterday.
-
and yes, I'm well aware that the new release has better sound, liner notes etc. etc.
well, these weren't the factors that persuaded me to buy it, but the fact that the cues didn't have any artificial looping , as the Label X had.
-
There are still 180 at SAE!
I hope, after this success of this release, they could do another early Williams too, if there wans't any problem with the rights and stuff..
Maybe a Plainsman, a Pete 'n' Tillie, a Gidget goes to Rome, a Secret Ways etc..
-
^ I watched Besson's "The Big Blue" (extended cut) yesterday.
Anyway,
I bought this yesterday:
and in a few days I'll be buying this steelbook which is a limited Zavvi Exclusive for anyone interested to get it:
and I'm waiting for these in September:
Unfortunately I missed the Roger Rabbit one:
Missouri Breaks 2CD Complete Score (SOLD OUT in 72 hours!)
in JOHN WILLIAMS
Posted
yeah, I understand. It's just me!
I just prefer the film versions better (of any score).
