But some tools that remove percussion can fortunately mistake some sound effects for percussion.

Hook is my all time favorite JW score, because it is loaded with themes and the score works so brilliantly with the film, and in particular, the Childhood theme used in a specific sequence comes to mind. You use the word 'engaged' and what comes to mind is the scene where Peter breaks down and finally remembers his childhood, and the music drops and IMO so crucial (and Robin Williams monologue) to this scene because you feel him, you understand what it's like to feel abandoned, or 'they forgot about me', as Peter says to Tink. Everyone experiences that and they know what that pain feels like and when I watch this scene, the music makes me feel these same emotions that Peter is feeling, and it works so well in regards to the film. 
 
And then, a few minutes later, JW uses the same theme to launch Peter into the sky as he remembers why he came to Neverland: his kids were his happy thought, and he remembers how to fly and he becomes Peter Pan, and the music takes a complete 180 and goes from heartbreakingly sad to a huge, triumphant, heroically return of Peter Pan:

nah actually please don't

Yeah that's where I was for a couple years, I only really wanted Planet and Conquest from the box, then I just said fuck it and bit the bullet. And I still only love those two but now I have a really nice looking box!

High five!
This stuff is just too unquantifiable and even changes over time or depending on your mood.
 
From all his scores that I tried, I liked these ones enough to buy: Seconds, Planet of the Apes (also own Escape because of the LLL box, it's not bad but I'm not sure I'd have bought it if they were sold separately), Logan's Run, Alien, STTMP, Legend, The Ghost and the Darkness, and The Mummy. From these, I could probably whittle down the absolute love favourites to... Planet of the Apes, Alien and Legend maybe?

Nah it's destroying everything the OT crew worked for and making Vader's ultimate turn and sacrifice pretty much completely irrelevant if Palpatine just somehow returns.

Ah, clever subversion of the thread title, being obsessed with a fan!

Very interesting selections but I'm worried that an ensemble this small could be too bare and not varied enough for 2 whole discs.

You're the one who's obsessed with Maurizio. Saying that another member has a mental illness is a personal attack. You've done this repeatedly.
 
I will politely ask you that you stop breaking this fundamental rule of our forums. Thanks.

I've used AI very sparingly on my YouTube edits. However I prefer not to use it for the most part because it adds a shit load of distortion, and in some cases removes instruments. It's important not to overdo it.

What I would give to be in that room now...
 

Because of the inherent brevity and efficiency (some would say shallowness) of film, and the pace of Star Wars in particular, the music must act in a kind of shorthand. Motifs, being the shortest cogent elements of melody, and melody being so identifiable by music listeners, it is only logical that Williams would use them to quickly identify the various people and places of the films. Dismissing them as "overshadowing narrative cues" is dismissing the emotional potential of melody altogether, and the musical craft needed to make them.

Since when has disney cared about continuity and not contradicting the movies?
