"By combining these two concert pieces, this album puts the symphonic work of Bernstein and Williams at the center, two composers who weren’t afraid of crossing the boundaries between film music and “serious” classical genres at a time when these worlds were generally kept far apart. Especially in Williams’ concerto, there are still hints of his work as a film composer; the slow movement brings to mind a scene of emotional gravity."
I do not think that the final sentence is meant as a criticism, but I find it odd. All of the most famous violin concertos have emotional gravity, usually most pronounced in the middle movement. Why on earth would this be a reason that Williams concerto is less "serious" at this point?
it says evokes a scene of emotional gravity, not that it has emotional gravity.

How can it be #1 best seller in soundtracks if they're no longer selling any, and haven't been for several weeks now?

Is it a bot?
I would assume, isn't "The Music of John Williams: 40 Years of Film Music" a compilation CD?

I don't have a Kindle because I generally prefer reading books as books. I spend most of the rest of my time in front of a screen anyway. I'll read news and tech articles and stuff in a browser (and I'll never stop complaining about people making 20 minute videos with background music for stuff that could be put into a text article that would take 5 minutes to read in whole and that I could just glance over to find the part I'm actually interested in), but for anything more substantial, I like having something physical in my hands that also gives me a feeling for how far I've progressed.
That said, I still think that every physical book should come with a matching ebook version, if necessary for a modest fee that covers creating the digital version and keeping it published on a server. If an ebook version exsists anyway, it should be included free of charge (or a free that just covers the fees the publisher may have to pay to the hoster for a single instance of an ebook that's already been published and which they wouldn't have sold to me anyway). Simply because it's very useful for searching and perhaps quoting, but I'm not going to buy an extra ebook copy just for that if it costs almost as much as the physical thing I already have in my hand (and which cost that much partly because if had to be produced from materials).
I prefer audiobooks with a voice actor doing voices and sfx and score.

before anyone called it “cosplay” (God, I despise that term),
We have Japan's to thank for that one apparently:
QuoteThe Japanese term, Kosupure, anglicized as Cosplay, is a portmanteau of the English words costume play. The creation of the term is often attributed to Nobuyuki Takahashi of Studio Hard, who may have coined the word after attending the 1984 World Science Fiction Convention (Worldcon) in Los Angeles, California.

It literally consists of six score tracks that are glued together by a lot of thrown in synths, several of which are also taken from previous tracks. I should've been more specific when I said "unique bits," since I'm referring to a particular section of string work around 2:13-2:19 that I can't really point to as being from an existing cue. It really makes my unfinished theory have more of a basis, since some of this material had to come from something that existed at one point in production. And yet there's nothing on the Kamen website that suggests anything was specifically prepped for the credits like the tracked version of Inside the Statue, so I'm not sure what's up there.
Could it just have been taken from a sample/stock library like Best Service Orchestral Colours or something?

Fair enough, and I agree that sometimes buying a CD and all the associated shit doesn't feel needed. Certainly there's a release that's sort of on my list at the moment that I don't want physically (I want a handful of tracks) but there's no way to get it other than buying a piece of plastic.
Certainly in other cases such as Sleepy Hollow, Doug's definitely got some issues with his editing, but isn't mastering just a choice that's made by the engineer? It doesn't strike me as lazy, especially if they're doing more work on top of just transferring the tapes.
Mastering is a final pass after the program is finalized IIRC.
