I've never been labeled this way before and it hurts, ngl

Is there a money-back guarantee?

Melodically speaking, the theme does appear to be a bit simpler (dare I say weaker?) than its siblings in Williams's repertoire, but I still think it's very enjoyable and even a bit moving, especially in this particular arrangement and performance. I like the almost ethereal ending in particular. Breathtaking? No. Charming? YES.

This sounds pretty good: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=liQuxbV6gYI

Thanks for signaling this So ... what is it exactly that you can't stand about her playing?

No, it's this: FWIW, I tried to remove all dialogue from the featurette audio using iZotope RX 10. Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny John Williams.mp3

It's actually solo flute, solo French horn and Fender Rhodes in the Spencer manuscript, while the LTP score calls for solo flute only, with the Fender Rhodes entering in bar 18.

Shazam'd the tuk tuk chase music and found these:

Weird how it's titled "New York, 1969". I'd expect the Raiders March to be presented as a standalone "Raiders March" track or as part of an "End Credits" track.

Sounds like a note-for-note copy of the Raiders March! Man, I've had it with all the self-plagiarism. Seems like Williams just couldn't help himself! On a more serious note, this recording seems to have a lot more "punch" than the KOTCS one. I also can't hear any trace of the C major chord for the violins and violas which the latter begins with.

This sounds promising though!

Careful now! Observations of this kind aren't taken lightly here!

Yet still quite electrifying, dare I say.

The soundtrack album is probably not going to change my opinion on this particular bit of music. I. Don't. Think. A. JW. Fan. Is. Obliged. To. Worship. Every. Minute. Of. Every. JW. Score. Ever. Written.

I think I might have been a little too pessimistic at first and I truly hope I didn't ruin this thread that way. I still don't think the minute of underscore in this clip is particularly engaging (although I would say there are a few interesting little moments), but paraphrasing what I said earlier, I'm sure the rest of the score will offer lots of original material to savor. Heck, even if we're in for more tongue-in-cheek quotes of previously written material. @TolkienSS I, for one, don't think that the days of outstanding musical setpieces like The Basket Game are over. The SW sequel trilogy had some musical setpieces which IMHO come very close and which stand out from some of the less interesting, "autopilot"-type action music. Of course, it's going to be pretty hard to match, let alone topple the originality of, say, the original SW trilogy or the first three Indy films, where nearly every piece of action music is a musical setpiece on its own, but I'm expecting at least some of that here.

Even though I deeply admire the man (as we all do here), I think you're being a little apologetic here. Sure, the underscore we're hearing in this particular clip serves the scene, but it's far from original. I would say those are some of the weaker bits of the KOTCS score. I'm sure there will be lots of compelling, original material to savor, but I'm also expecting more quotes from earlier installments of the franchise. It seems to be en vogue these days (SW:ANH's Here They Come in SW:TLJ comes to mind), with the obvious intention of evoking nostalgia.

The bits lifted from TLC and KOTCS sound like they were re-recorded (and perhaps a little reworked) to me, meaning they are part of the actual underscore for this sequence. So, note-for-note, from a certain point of view.

The note-for-note lifts from TLC and KOTCS and the generic filler in between are disappointing to me. I hope the rest of the score isn't as derivative.

Return of the Jedi was shown at Kinepolis in Ghent tonight in honor of its 40th anniversary, so I had to go and see it! They did show the oft-despised special edition, but that didn't bother me (save for, perhaps, the awful Jedi Rocks scene). It was really cool seeing it on the big screen for the first time and hearing John's magnificent score blast through the theater's speakers. The synergy of the underscore and the visuals gave me lots of goosebumps. Quite the experience for someone who grew up watching these movies on small television screens.

Most of the musicians in the picture seem to be in a relaxed state (as far as I can make out), and JW seems to be making some sort of "attention everyone" gesture, so the picture might have been taken some time before the actual start of the Lament cue. Could have also been a take starting somewhere in the middle of the cue to fix some flub or record a rewritten bit. At any rate, I don't think they were recording at the exact moment the picture was taken. Just my two cents though!

Digital Performer is a DAW which allows you to add streamers and punches to an imported video file, but I'm not sure whether it allows you to export that video file with the streamers and punches added. EDIT: there used to be some issues, as discussed here, but there does seem to be a way to export the video file with the streamers and punches added to it.

I can hear bits from TLC's Escape from Venice later in the scene as well! Timestamps: 2:57-3:05, 3:39-3:42, 4:18-4:24 I'd say they're tracked, but it's difficult to tell given that the music is barely audible here.
