    Do you listen to the whole soundtrack?

    in General Discussion

    Perfect example just now. I've had Aliens in my 'new' folder for ages, and finally decided to give it a listen. Decided to delete about 4 cues which just didn't really seem to have anything going on in them.

    My general rule is that if I have a complete or substantial score, and there's a cue I always skip, or can listen to without really noticing it, there's no point in having it. I apply this to even my favourite composers as I want a collection that reflects music I enjoy, not music that I feel I have to have for completism or just 'because' it's held in high esteem.

    There must be something about the Alien saga because I can't get into Goldsmith's score outside the first few tracks, and I massively trimmed Frizzell''s complete score to Resurrection (well ok, that's different obviously as they're not in the same league).

    Thank you.

    I'm going to be a daddy!

    Congrats! Another JWFan in the making.

    haha! Maybe I should play the 20th Century fan fare on the big day.

    I give you very sincere congratulations, and a "Mazel Tov" to your parenting (mis)adventures.

    Thanks :o and for the hebrew good luck

    11. High-Wire Stunts. Possible Delete

    Wow, I love that cue. The brass flourishes alone are worth a place on any JW fan's hard drive.

    I should do this more. It seems when someone points out a track they think is good I listen to it again. Maybe its because we are discussing the album I dont know but I have to agree with you. Thats two tracks now. Actually you are right that cue is superb.

    Only from my mp3 player. Not from my collection. I own the CDs but for lack of gigabyte space I have to do this and feel that an mp3 player with the ones I like wll be more enjoyable for me. Saying that when listening to the CD I do skip some tracks which is why I was curious to what peoples listening habits are

    The reason I asked this question is recently I have attempted to organize my MP3 player which holds all my soundtrack collection amongst others.

    On my mp3 player I can rate up to 5 stars for each track. I am rating each track from 5 stars - AMAZING TRACK to 1 star - DELETE from mp3 player

    I kind of feel a bit guilty if I delete a few tracks from an album thinking I may miss the whole picture but then I guess I will be left with an mp3 player with all tracks I want to listen to. Heres an example using Jurassic Park Album.

    1. Opening Titles - KEEP

    2. Theme From Jurassic Park - KEEP

    3. Incident at Isla Nublar - KEEP

    4. Journey to the Island - KEEP - 5 Stars

    5. The Raptor Attack Possible Delete

    6. Hatching Baby Raptor Possible Delete

    7. Welcome to Jurassic Park - KEEP 5 Stars

    8. My Friend, The Brachiosaurus - KEEP

    9. Dennis Steals the Embryos Possible Delete

    10. A Tree for My Bed - KEEP

    11. High-Wire Stunts Possible Delete

    12. Remembering Petticoat Lane Possible Delete

    13. Jurassic Park Gate - KEEP

    14. Eye to Eye Possible Delete

    15. T-Rex Rescue and Finale - KEEP

    16. End Credits - KEEP 5 Stars

    Some albums I may purge down to the opening and closing credits so could end up worse than above.

    A Tribute to some of the best soundtracks ever part 2

    I have created my new soundtrack tribute and is now on youtube for viewing. Featuring music from John Williams, Howard Shore and Alan Silvestri including his lovely piece from Cast Away (and not the braveheart music which was in the trailer)

    I know there is a lot more soundtracks out there that were not included but I only get 10 minutes so dont think I forgot your favourites just dont get enough time in the clip :D

    ps - realised i spelt consideration wrong in the heading ;)

    I agree with Miguel...good job, and look forward to seeing many more!

    thanks for the kind comments

    Thanks for the comments. Problem with youtube is 10 minutes is the max for video so couldnt include all my favourites. So many. May do another one with Jaws etc and a few Goldsmiths. I have got a Jaws tribute in my profile which is set to the classic Williams score. I do actually like the POTC soundtrack i think it suited the film.

    Thanks for the comments everyone
