Or so we're told...

On the anthology, the track "The Last Battle". From where in the film is the first two minutes of music? I can't find it anywhere. I know (or at least I think) that at about 2:00 it segues to "The Tractor Beam" and then "The Battle of Yavin", but what is that first bit?
-
WRONG BERKSHIRE!!!!
I know the feeling.

I'm literally talking about the last chord of that, which seems to be different from the one on the UE...
-
Several times, yes.
The point is that is doesn't appear at all where the liner notes suggest - between "Necros Attacks" and "Approaching Kara". It does, however, appear several times before "Necros Attacks" (after "Koskov Escapes").
If you want to know, it appears four times before Necros Attacks, three times before "Murder at the Fair" and once before "Inflight Fight".
-
Eh?
I mean: the part I'm thinking of starts off with the part Cerrabore mentioned, but at the end there are a few timpani "notes", before it segues to "Lament".
-
But not the version in ANH.
-
It was ages ago I saw the film, so I may have remembered this wrong - isn't there some music (not listed in the "tracked music" list (or does it replace something else) where Palpatine first says "execute order 66", just before Obi-Wan's lizard-thing is shot? And also I distinctly remember that the section of TPM UE music you listed did not end that way? Wasn't there a timpani roll or something?
-
Oh yeah - sorry - I changed the subject I bit there...
-
Pity - the segue to "Lament" in the film is really nice. Ah well..
-
Can you give me an *exact* timing for the end of the second part of AOTC music in that track please? None of this seems to work for me!

Three corrections/suggestions to The Living Daylights list:
"Where Has Everybody Gone?" should go before "Necros Attacks", since there is no appearance of it where the liner notes suggested.
The second half (1:20-End) of "Approaching Kara" is meant to go after "Bond Meets Kara" - it is the music from the scene where Kara goes back to fetch her cello.
"Into Vienna" is an alternate, and since the film version is unreleased, should probably go in its place, between tracks 4 and 15.
In other words, the list should go:
13. Exercise at Gibraltar
1. The Living Daylights - Main Title
3. The Sniper Was A Woman
6. Koskov Escapes
7. Where Has Everybody Gone?
2. Necros Attacks
14a. Kara Is Arrested (Approaching Kara 0:00-1:20)
5. Kara Meets Bond
14b. Retrieving the Cello (Approaching Kara 1:20-End)
4. Ice Chase
8. Into Vienna (alternate)
15. Murder at the Fair
16. "Assassin" and Drugged
17. Airbase Jailbreak
10. Mujahadin and Opium
18. Afghanistan Plan
9. Hercules Takes Off
11. Inflight Fight
19. Air Bond
20. Final Confrontation
12. If There Was A Man
21. Alternate End Titles

In the tracked music list, Battle of Utapau, is that really the right part of AOTC music? I remembered it totally different to that...
-
I thought you preferred the soundtrack arrangement:
I like to listen to soundtrack-albums the way the composer intended it to be, so in a sequence that usually differs from that in the movie. A lot of soundtracks lose contrast and coherence when played in chronological order

The Droid Invasion.

I was at my old school a few months ago for a concert (which some people I know were playing in), and I was curious to see that the wind band were performing “Star Wars Main Title”. I have to say, much as I am quite forgiving about bad arrangements for amateur orchestras, that this was the worst arrangement of any theme I’ve ever heard in my life.
The middle string section was played the same volume as the rest of the theme, and played by oboes!!!! (and a cymbalist who seemed intent on pounding the living daylights out of the instruments about three seconds after the beat). But that wasn’t the worst of it. The drummer was entirely wrong, playing (irritatingly) about half a second after everyone else. The conductor was awful – if the main theme normally runs at about 1:20, this lasted 3:00 – at least.
And there was one absolutely unforgivable error in the arrangement. Instead of going minim, minim, crotchet-triplets, minim, crotchet etc. (almost 5/4 style) this clever arranger (I didn’t catch the name) decided that that would be too difficult for a school orchestra, and arranged it in 6/4 time: minim, minim, minim-triplets etc. What the hell??? And at half its proper speed, it was one of the worst musical experiences of my life. Ugh.

The manic woodwind phrases are the same as the ones in "Qui-Gon's Noble End," just much higher in volume. I think they are an overdub intended for "Qui-Gon's Noble End" (and that's where they were placed). They were omitted from the album, though, and the videogame designers decided to mix them with "Anakin's Crash Landing."
OK, I may have completely misunderstood this, but this means that we shouldn't include the first 0:11 of sqgripping1, right?
Again, I may have completely misunderstood this.
-
OK, I've got another problem (sorry! :oops:):
Delorean90 said that "sqdanger1" as part of "The Droid Invasion", should in fact be "sqfight5". But sqfight5 is used in the Super-UE CD 2 Track 13. How does this work?
-
Funny, GL seems to release just about anything to make money - except the thing that we really want.
-
I like the UE because I want to listen the movie's soundtrack. Not listen to music that isn't part of the film.
For me, the worst edit is "The Droid Invasion" - the ending now sounds completely random on the UE.
-
It's a shame that we will NEVER truly hear Johnny's work like it should be.
What on earth makes you say that? People had to wait 20 years for a complete Star Wars score didn't they - but they got it... eventually? What makes you say NEVER?
-
Thanks, Delorean90.
OK, I've finished looking through it, and these are my problems:
Is TPM sqtheedattack.imc really supposed to go at 1:47 in UE Track 13? I would have guessed it was supposed to go at 1:26.
Is it just me, or is “Hit the Nose!” a bit of a bizarre key change if placed at 1:00 in “Padmé Meets Anakin”?
* Neither JPB track 6j and 5b, or TPM sqsuccess1 are available on Skylark’s FTP (and I don’t plan on buying the games just for the music) and TPM sqfightmaul2 seems to be incomplete.
For the Super Ultimate Edition Cd 2 Track 15, it says it starts with OST Track 5 (0:00-) – there is no end time for this track. The sample provided starts off nothing like OST Track 5 starts off.
I presume that for for Super-UE CD 2 Track 16, only the section of OST Track 15 (2:17-End) is meant to be used, not the whole thing – that’s the impression I got from the samples.

Absolutely no idea - I don't have it.
I got the list from here: http://www.mahawa.jw-music.net

Which track on the TPM game?
