Okay, then let me amend this: I very likely will, but I don't want to. For a score like this that doesn't feel that special/important in the grand scheme, and that I had no connection whatsoever to or even knowledge of before this single listen, I'd be more happy with a cheaper digital purchase than a more expensive physical just to have something on my shelf I never want to look at again (as opposed to say LLL or Quartet releases with competent design which I do take off the shelf and look at and reread sometimes when also listening), but if the business is stupid then the business is stupid, if it's gotta be the CD then that's that.

Yeah sure he'll totally start paying more attention if I just tell him to. They totally won't deny the existence of anything like they did with Sleepy Hollow. Informing people who read the thread a little about the set's sound maybe?

Aaand now I listened to the main program. And it's awesome. A lot of it is very Horner-like, a mix of Aliens, Sleepers, 90s Hornerisms, but infused with a little Elfman crazyness and broken up by Carpenteresque segments. Interesting how the score seems to be sympathetic to the alien for a lot of the score! Love the gentleness early on, there's some good tension, and fun chaos by the end. And now of course comes the worst part: I wanna support such Young expansions, I want to read the booklet, but I don't want to support Intrada's lazyness in their art and mastering - didn't notice any bad editing mistakes but once again Doug seems to have just taken a good enough premixed source and EQd it a bit, not caring that raising the treble boosts the hiss as well as the percussion. It's very audible in quieter sections, and obviously dialed up and down at the start and end of tracks. The program would need some work, combinations, order changes, maybe alt swaps, making up better titles than these barebones utilitarian cue titles - these belong in the booklet with the slates dammit! The biggest problem with having to pirate a release to check it out is that now I have the music, same as if I'd have ripped it, now I'd just be paying for an overpriced piece of plastic and ugly paper. Ugh. What are the chances that this'll be sold digitally? But then they of course wouldn't include the goddamn booklet.

In my Bond rewatches, when I got to Octopussy, I definitely thought "Seriously, people say Temple of Doom is racist?"

I kind of get it. It shows you that Sallah and Marcus are back, shows you the girl, shows you the nazi villain. No more corners left, the essentials that everyone going in blind knows will be in there are covered. Donovan's of not that much interest until the surprise twist that he's with the nazis, the poster doesn't give away his centralness.

Ok. Even then, this holy americana sound is mostly really not my thing.

Saw the film once, didn't like it. Tried the score multiple times, always barely got through it. To me it just sounds like a bunch of filler cues that go on and on and would go between the highlights which in this case don't exist.

Still not very good, too much empty space and the text is very crowded down there. Found this online, much better:

Cool, they're remembering that they have to sell their product somehow!

I got far more interested in checking out this release from a pirated rip than from the intrada store with its zero samples and awful art, or this minute of dvdrip cut to some random tension. The original main title is awesome!

What? Good I guess, but what?

Brody (Roy Scheider) from Jaws!

Why can't he stick to a good writer?

No, he means these vinyls. And the answer is no, please don't buy shit from these shits. And don't watch their shit shows. They need to be shown they can't keep getting away with lowest possible effort trash.

Locking in on these shit programs on the stupid antiquated format too, lovely

If there is any. Perfect for judging the new source/mix! The old Species for example isn't even in the store, let alone samples of it.

So Intrada really stopped providing samples for everything, huh? Leaving us to judge the release for purchase on nothing but the artwork and tracklist... which as we all know they're really, really strong at. Sigh

So let's revisit this a little... HP4, hell yes, it'll be amazing Hobbits, hell yes, they'll be amazing Blade Runner hell yes Pirates trilogy, yes they need proper complete releases Spider-Man 2 and 3 need them too, all the music from all the composers Rosenmann's LotR, hell yeah I'd still buy that But what else can i think of? Once Upon a Time in the West from a non-shit source Hunchback of Notre-Dame: The Not Fucking Shit Edition Little Shop of Horrors, there are big film/album song differences, the "iso score" that's out there is kind of a mess of sources with varying quality The Prince of Egypt completely complete! Rocky Horror Picture Show completely complete! The Dark Crystal complete from a real source! Neverending Story with all of both composers' music including album pieces and the song too Brainstorm complete film and album recordings Sleepy Hollow done by someone with brains and ears One dream is a deluxe set of Pink Floyd's The Wall with the remastered movie on blu, the album, and the film version of the album The Ghost and the Darkness with a more senseful program with more attention to the sound maybe? The treble boosting Doug did really raised the hiss on some cues. Not a huge priority though The Mummy from a better source? Again not a huge prio, with a combo program it's good enough And a bunch of hungarian movies you guys won't care about But like I said in the original post, I'm also happy with exploring all the other good stuff coming our way - last year was a little duller from my POV but I still got surprise releases I never heard before but love now!

They are but the main program, maybe with some help, definitely presents a fuller more satisfying journey. The OST also shortens multiple cues. ...yeah, with the stupid OST inclusion and multiple alternates only having a short different section (30 seconds in a 5 minute track or 10 seconds in a 7 minute one), if you remove all the repetition of the same takes then there's around 90-100 minutes of unique music on the set. I grew to love the score but that was a hard sell for 60€.

Try the Prometheus rerecording so the sometimes weak performance and awful recording doesn't block you from enjoying the music!

You mean images?

Reported Jay for necroing.

Was it incomplete or out of order or something?

Late 70s, scifi horror... a match made in space!

Nope, The Emperor is the Emperor death cue. Rebel Briefing is the finale with the film-used Han/Leia/Wicket version and the not used funeral pyre version. Also Separation of the Family is actually one of the many versions for the reunion of the family at the end.
