    This is exactly why I refuse to buy my music digtally. I once considered doing it on amazon.co.uk. They immediately told me they would be keeping an eye on what I bought so that they could suggest 'songs' I might be interested in as well, and all this would be done by adding special data to the actual files I would buy. No, thank you. I want full control over my own files and if you can't live with that, I'm not feeling sorry about pirating anything.

    Just buy digital music on iTunes. They won't go through your library.

    Maybe you're not into Desplat's magical mode.

    Listen to Girl with a Pearl Earring, a much better score that I would call magical. Shape of water doesn't go anywhere IMO, musically, it just says something and then says the same thing a few more times in the same way.

    Of the points you mentioned - I’d say they’re all way past superficial. There’s an issue with humor throughout, the Canto Bight subplot didn’t work for so much as a single moment, and Rose was annoying.

     

    Leia’s flying moment really is a small issue, but you have to admit it’s a wierd visual, and the handling of Luke’s character while at times bold and even a bit moving, wasn’t perfectly consistent.

    I liked he film as a whole but I did think they gave Rose way too much screen time. I wanted to see more of Rey but undead I got the Rose character for a big part of the movie...

  4. In the Titanic commentary, Cameron says that he loved the piano cue Horner wrote but that the demo performance worked so well in the film that he didn't want to have a re-recorded version of it. For that particular scene, the demo performance works so well and I don't think a re-recording would have worked as well.

     

    As for why LLL included all those OST versions on disc 1 and labeled film versions as "alternate", I get why they did it, but I would have preferred that they put the film version of southampton and the alt mix of Rose etc on disc 1 instead of the OST versions.

    Oh I'm not disappointed that they didn't re-create film versions. That's totally understandable. What I don't get is why you would move things like the alternate Rose and Portrait cues to the main program. I know Horner intended it this way, but the portrait scene is so iconic that it just makes sense to me to have that piano demo (flawed as it might be) in the main program. Same goes for Southampton.

    I agree with all of that. The Portrait cue that is on disc 1 is the worst track on the whole edition and it's a shame that it's on disc 1.

    People in this thread are making a big to-do over nothing at all.

     

    So Butterfly Comb appears before Rose instead of after Rose. Big deal!

     

    And the main program contains the versions of cues Horner wanted to be heard. Cameron messed with all of his intentions in the final cut of the film. Recreating those edited hack jobs would make no sense.

     

    There really isn't a wildly different way to release this score other than how they did it.

     

    You've got a 2-disc main program of Horner's preferred version of every cue, then a third disc of every other version he recorded.  How can you complain?

    Well in Cameron's defence, apparently Horner scored a cut that wasn't the final cut of the film. I actually really like how the music was used in the film but I also like the LLL edition so one can like both!

    Oh wait up now, you're talking about Cameron's film tracking and stuff, which is different than what we're trying to accomplish here, wich is the intended chronological order of Horner's intended full cues.

    Ah yes I meant how it was in the film, when talking about lovemaking.

    Just now, Stefancos said:

    So this new release is not even chronological?

    It's almost chronological. LLL chose to combine a few cues.

    I've actually done that: 

     

    This is the CHRONOLOGICAL order of the score, I've done for my iPod, where I've split the crossfaded cues: 

     

    I made similar edits, mixing clean openings with the cross faded LLL cues. Then I also made "film version" edits where I extended sections etc to make it musically a better and less choppy listening experience.

    Hmm, so are you saying this is the chronological order of the Main Program of the LLL set?

     

    Yes, unless you want to started editing A building Panic and Trapped on D-Deck.
