Arrived (Germany 2023)

"And I said to myself, if Harrison can do it *I* can do it!"

I wouldn't be surprised if he writes a theme, I'll be shocked if he does the score 

He should write a score first based on the story draft. Then they should write and make the movie for the score.

The "impossible" scenes are always worth the price of admission 

Since Joe didn't include one, here's a list of the 111 eligible film scores
Daddy-O I Passed For White Because They're Young The Secret Ways Bachelor Flat Diamond Head Gidget Goes To Rome The Killers None But The Brave John Goldfarb, Please Come Home The Rare Breed How to Steal a Million The Plainsman Not With My Wife, You Don’t!

Let’s just make sure that in 20 years time we’re still having a debate about who wrote what, like with COS.

To be honest, to me it doesn't really matter. It could be an adaptation in some cases, as many of you suggest. Or it could be deliberate attempt from Williams to summarise the franchise in a reminiscence therapy (pun intended) type of a way (along with some other action entries of his career). It might be a bit of a temp track love too. Or all of the above. Either way, Williams has composed "all of it" and signed it off. The film treats the music with quite a lot of respect so perhaps it was consciously designed to be that way from a get go. We've been praising those types of "patchwork" sequels in the past (Die Hard, Batman & Robin, Home Alone) so I can't really see how this is any different. If it means a 90-something can complete gargantuan amount of work in time, then it's fine by me. He's been "looking back" (stylistically) at his career for the past 15 years now (since Crystal Skull) so it's not really shocking. There's more than enough cool new stuff in this anyway.

Just so you guys know, the UK version DOES feature isolated score on 4K disc, even though it is not advertised on the back cover.

In addition to receiving a nomination for The Fabelmans, John Williams earned 2 Grammy nominations for Dial of Destiny! Well deserved imo.

You're damn right Spotify!
 

The part after the Coruscant-like percussion stuff in Tuk Tuk Chase 2 is deliciously chaotic. There´s so much going on, I am picking up something new each time I listen. Voller and Helena's themes integrated into the On the Conveyer Belt stuff (I think they almost play off each other). Some absolutely mental harp playing going on before Indy's B theme plays as well.

I must say, when the citations of older works are done like in Tuktuk chase, I don't mind them, because they are significantly adapted and integrated into the new composition. And by the way, if one has the option to listen to to the TrueHD format in Surround sound, do it! It sounds so much more involving. No matter if 5.1, 7.1 or Atmos, it is a big difference to simple stereo. 

Honestly, Germany 1944 might not be my favorite track on the OST but I do admit JW did a fine job curating the 20 minute prologue into a (mostly) coherent track. 
 
I also think American Spy could've been in the album too as track #2 after the Overture. It feels weird not to have the actual first cue in the movie on the album.

how in the world did :18-:22 of To Morocco Again not make the OST version of To Morocco
 
it's so gorgeous!

I wonder if it wasn't Williams's way of being nice.  It sounds like Ross did a lot of work on cues replaced by Williams.  it is cool to have a distinctive moment just for Ross.  

I'm glad I'm not the only one. It bothered me when watching the movie as well.

seriously, he was probably like,
 
wait....i can finally put in a bombastic rendition of Helenas theme??? ooookay!.....
 
oookay!!! you want old school battle music??!?!?? ooookay!!!!!!
 
wait i can do expand on Archimedes theme cause we're gonna see him?!?!?? 
 

lots of interesting stuff going on at the tail end of Centuries Join Hands
 
great cue!
 
also nothing has changed this opinion:
 
To Athens is the greatest cue in an Indy film since The Last Crusade end credits.

To Athens really really stands out, it's definitely my favorite moment of the whole score. 

Well, i'm gonna eat my words that i said earlier that the complete score wouldn't completely change my opinion on this score.
 
I love it even more now with all the gaps filled with the missing bits.
 
That said, i still think the OST presentation is a perfect presentation of the score, although the inclusion of Pulse of the City would have made it more perfect.
 
What about the source music at the auction, was that original material not on the isolated track?  I love that stuff in my complete playlists.

Listening to this isolated score makes me REALLY wish TROS also had a isolated score. It is such a shame they didn't follow TLJ's lead.

Despite all the complaints here and my personal judgment on the movie itself, the score really shines in the movie. It really was a joy for me experiencing it watching the film. It is some time ago that I felt that way in the cinema. Probably at watching The Force Awakens?
