So when's the rest of the game coming out?

"Oh baby..."
The best thing that has come out of this film.

Probably the music, but he might be asking for J.J.'s opinion on a pink turtleneck.

I don't remember there was any plan or indication Williams intended to initially record in London.

Around the unreleased cues a perimeter create!

Few understand the way of JWFan!

24 voice male choir for Snoke though?! Holy crap, Emperor's Theme 2.0! =D

Are you 14 years old? Of course you can be friends with people older than you.

JOHN WILLIAMS MUSIC IS SO BAD BRUH, ITS' ;LIKE THE SAME THEME SONG PLAYUED ON TRUMPETS OVER AND OVER.

Our refined and finely articulated ways when it comes to music discussion regarding John Williams are far superior to anything else found on the subject on the internet. The boors and heathens outside the walls of this fortress of sophistication and high culture will never fathom the correct and proper way of addressing the Maestro's work in the style that does justice to its masterful brilliance.

Honestly, as far as I'm concerned if we can even just get one A-level Williams piece or cue out of this, it'll have been more than worth the wait. He doesn't owe us anything.

Which J stands for Joke?
My most important question: will there be a motif for the lens flare?

I think he meant specifically when it comes to Williams pastiche.

Perhaps this is common knowledge around here, but Conrad Pope just confirmed on his Facebook that he was not involved in the production of the Force Awakens score (bolding is mine):

Which also confirms that none of them like the new cookie cutter Giacchino-sounding theme.

And he's right to do so.
Also, Edward Shearmur shared Unofficial but True's video

enjoy ! (or not)

Williams employs octatonicism very freely, seamlessly shifting tetrachordal subsets in often non-octatonic harmonic contexts.
Only occasionally will you find more traditional "modal" use of octatonicism in Williams' ouvre.
I think part of what makes Williams' harmonic language so compelling, is precisely this sense of synthesis.

The screaming goat is definitely Williams.

IT'S SYNTH! There's no way it's from the actual score, and I doubt they did mockups for this.
