I always thought that would be a multi box set, if it still exists. -

I didn't hear that. According to MV the TNG Volume 1 box set sold well. If the Ron Jones didn't I would say the reason would be its price. I guarantee the Original Series box set isn't doing well either because of price too, not because the interest isn't there. The Ron Jones set is fantastic, but could have done better if it was spread across volumes so people could justify spending the $ in smaller amounts over time.

Extended Jerry Goldsmith's The River Wild Recording Sessions documentary
jwb replied to Incanus's topic in General Discussion
Haven't seen anyone point it out, but in part 2 you can see Varese's own Robert Townson in the booth. He chats briefly with Jerry boasting how well the Rudy soundtrack is selling, saying it has been "doing really well since the video came out, like 500 a week". The maestro surprised jokingly saying back "That's great news, he may have to pay me some money.".- 28 replies

Another sample from Ultimate War 3 where the sound gets iffy.... At 0:08 the volume slowly starts to fade down too much until 0:11-0:12 where its pretty noticeable that its too low for whats going on and then the volume jumps back up. http://www.peeje.com/files/361937422/UW3-Sample.mp3.html -
For people who are fans of the score and not fans of the movie... if there was no movie, there would be no score.

No true. There is a bunch of stuff we still don't have clean: -the play music from the beginning -God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen -Lost Boys Ballet drum insert -Pick Em Up -Take Me Out To The Ballgame If I could only pick one of those to include it would be Take Me Out to the Ballgame. -

I never had any doubt this and Robe would sell out. $29.98x5000=$149,900 $24.98x2000=$49,960 $199,860 total. Not bad at all. Before expenses of course. -

The beginning of Farewell Neverland has a fade into music from No More Hook that is iffy too. Sounds like stuff is missing there and they added the fade to help it. Sorry I couldn't post more last night. I didn't even get to listen to it all yesterday. The wife was bugging me!!! The Ultimate War stuff is definitely what I was missing the most and most excited about listening to when I got the CD. Its a shame it doesn't sound perfect or close to perfect. I would say "very good" instead. I mean, compared to what we've had! I have to say, I am not a fan of how they've been split up. I usually listen to my music on my computer or on a mobile device, and the cuts to each track don't play so nice. When I can I will be editing the three together. I've found more appreciation for the other smaller pieces, like The Bedroom. Love this piece so much. The slow build up and wonder of it. I would say my top 5 favorite pieces of the "new stuff" are (in no order): 1. The Bedroom 2. Pirates! 3. Hook Challenges Peter 4. The Ultimate War (all 3 as one) 5. Follow That Shadow -

I could be totally wrong, of course. Everyone's ear is different. -

I hope Jason doesn't take this down. Its under 30seconds and he hosts samples on the site anyway. http://www.peeje.com/files/361876966/UW1-sample.mp3.html Here is part of an edit, I believe from Ultimate War 1. It happens at the strings 0:12-0:13. Just doesn't sound right. -

The second Ultimate War suffers the most. You have to be really nit picking to be bothered by it. The first and third has some iffy edits that are noticable. -

Listening to it now... My thoughts will be totally random. Looks like a percussionist got a little excited 2 seconds in Prologue Alternate. There's a sound that shouldn't be there. I enjoy this version very much. More magical than the in your face actiony original. Wendy Tells Peter the Truth reveals quite a few background noises that, musicians moving around, banging against stuff. Love the choral. -

Well, yes, you have a point! Still, I thought that cough was a bit distracting. To be honest, when I first listened to that sample, I couldn't help but wonder whether that was supposed to be there... like it was part of the piece. You're kidding! Or do you live in California, right across from the La-La Land Building? Maybe -

While the new Indy set is nowhere near the quality and presentation of FSM's Blue Box, I am still very happy with the Indy set. No matter your preference, this is a great time to be a soundtrack fan!
