Notice the single bass note at the beginning of "Anakin's Theme?"
I can't not notice it now.
-
The complete-ish bootleg of Conti's Thomas Crown Affair - still in his little time-warp I see! It's quite a fun score though.
-
Anway the piece is not stupid or gagging or awful for a contemporary film...
It would need to be re-arranged considerably, IMO.
-
The concert versions of DotF and Anakin's theme were composed for the end credits! Notice the single bass note at the beginning of "Anakin's Theme?" It's a leftover from the two-note segue from Duel of the Fates... compare it to the end credits track. And there are cues called "End Title Part I" and "End Title Part II." I'm guessing those are the fanfare and Duel of the Fates (presumably there is also a Part III, Anakin's Theme). And finally, neither DotF or Anakin's Theme are used in the film proper (although Duel of the Fates is derived from a film cue of the same name, I think).
I think the "concert arrangements" on Williams albums these days are really just isolated cues from the end credits. If you think about it that way, the end credits are original, while the concert arrangements are not.
Attack of the Clones had the concert arrangement tracked in didn't it?
-
Or did he intend to use the concert versions of DotF and Anakin's Theme?
-
Is that track (5) not going to be joined to the "rescuing the queen" sequence then?
-
-
The same can be said for the new 5.1 track on Superman - The Movie
I can't be bothered to get up and check - but does Superman have the original audio as well?
-
I like Sparrow's entrance and the second half of Blood Ritual (wrongly named, if I remember?) and parts of "Barbossa is Hungry" are OK.
-
Maybe - very faint if there is. Kinda sounds like a rocking chair.
-
Complete score is 1:23:34, and the sound is - well - how do I describe it?
It sounds very grainy.
-
He's playing the entire time, and if there were any imperfections in the performance, I'm sure Williams or music editor Bob Hathaway would have fixed it.
Oh right. I just played it on my CD player and it plays fine - just on my PC it sounds particularly dodgy.
-
Good News! Badelt doesn't seem to be coming back for either of the Pirates sequels.
-
I've got the 15-track soundtrack and the 57-track recording sessions - In god-awful quality, but its listenable.
-
That was before I edited it. It also doesn't seem to have much in the way of "notes"...
-
In what way? I don't think I've ever heard the mono mix.
-
It's a bass guitar! That's the way the piece was written and recorded.
What? With one half-second off-beat random note?
Want to hear background noise on Superman (which has also been on every album)? Listen to "The Destruction of Krypton" around 59 seconds.Ohhhhwwwwwwwww. I'd never have noticed that - but I'll hear it all the time now. Just like in Star Wars Tarkin's line "then name the system". I never noticed before I read that article.
-
Correction Neil, it suits the movie in the first half minute, when the solo cello gig creates the short impression that we're getting a pirate score.
Is that actually in the film? I don't remember it.
-
I was thinking of using a bit of Pirates (a couple of the action bars) in this thing I'm working on, loaded it into Audition, and got this (for a "Skull and Crossbones"):
-
Oh yeah - I found it. It's "Lovers Fly North". On the recording sessions - thats cue 29.
The Streets of Metropolis (Superman III) -
But i checked a second time, without watching the timing and i dont noticed...
I wish I had your skill. Annoying - that was my favourite part of the track until I heard that.
-
Is it just on my CD, or is it on all of them:
CD 2, Track 4 "The Flying Sequence", 6:49, there's this horrible "blip" sound - not just a short pop - really disturbing!
Is it just my CD, or is this on other people's too?
-
It was? Where?
-
Superman II - just listen to the Preface to see what I mean.
Did JW Compose Anything for the TPM End Credits?

Oh, yes. I meant the concert version was tracked into the film. As opposed to TPM, where the two concert arrangements were (apparently) composed for the credits.
