  1. I had a similar experience with Harry Gregson-Williams, but the first time I really enjoyed his work was with Spy Game. I tend to like Giacchino (his Medal of Honor and Lost scores are some of my most played CD's) but not so much lately... For example, I enjoy a lot Spider-Man 1 and 2 but not his 3rd one. Göransson could be in this group, but I need first to like his music I'm not a big fan of his scores. I like some bits but I don't find his music special. In many instances I find Desplat's music boring. I like him when he works with West Anderson but Pinoccio and Little Women are unbearable... Kevin Kiner is one composer that I generally dislike but after some time I don't find his music so bad (The Clone Wars is not my cup of tea but the music for the last season is fine)
  2. Maybe this has been answered before but does someone know who sings Stick with Me and the Never Song? Didn't saw it in the song credits...
  3. Finally I got my copy! I'm loving it so far. My only criticism is with the case, lately lalaland cases are quite cheap and the plastic gets scratched even looking at it.
  4. Indeed. But precisely those nods are my favorite parts of that music! I'm enjoying the isolated track much more than the movie or the OST. I still think this is not his finest work... Probably is the weaker score from all his "saga" works (Harry Potter, Star Wars , Indy...).
  5. I'm very happy for this and at the same time a little bit angry at myself for buying in 2023 two times 3 scores from Williams: Jurassic Park, Lost World (well, if you count the original scores releases those two are triple buys!) and Hook. Anyway, this is a very promising release of of his best works!
  6. No... I assumed it would be sold in Amazon and other places as a regular CD. This was the first time I read this was a limited run CD, which doesn't even makes sense.
  7. I didn't like the film but I enjoyed more the score. I really like the KOTCS bit during the plane-time-travel scene (mainly because that part of the score), and the new material stuck for me. Anyway, it has too many references to previous films. Makes me wonder if Williams wasn't enthusiastic about the film, someone just really liked the temp tracks or if Williams just felt too old for 150 minutes of new material...
  8. I was at first quite disappointed... I reached Germany, 1944 and found a lot of previously know music that doesn't seem to fit whatever might be happening (haven't seen the film yet, but I know so well those tracks that are difficult to disconnect from previous images). Now, I'm taking a second listen and, ok, is not so bad. I mean, Williams is never bad; but you understand me. In any case the score makes me even more skeptical with the film. I usually don't like Mangold's directing and my gut feeling is that he doesn't understand music as well as he needs to point Williams into more surprising fields...
  9. I like this edition although I don't feel is such different to the previos one. The mixing is clearly different but I won't go as far as saying that is "better" in general. Is different but I can't put my finger in which is superior. I didn't care much for the alternate take in Journey to the Island (again, is more that Iike it as much as that part in the Album) but love those extra bits in the transition between 3m2 and 3m2A, that really make me appreciate the track. Also the Film Mix of Dennis is really good, indeed. And, sure, is far better not to have fade in into Hammond's Entrance.
  10. Well... That's surprising for me. That Intro doesn't sound right. Maybe it's the interpretation, maybe the mixing but for me is totally off. Ohh so the duel music in the OST is not the one in the series? I got that impression but thought maybe I didn't recall it well from the episode and, honestly, I didn't what to see it again to check.
  11. IMHO this is the worst music for a Star Wars show... And I'm not a big fan of the score in The Mandalorian/Boba Fett or the Kevin Kiner music. Also, the Bill Ross tracks are way below expectations. Is he using an orchestra? Doesn't seem so... And his adaptation of the theme in the End Credits is too cheesy for my taste. And yes, I agree that the more melodic tracks from Holt are "ok" not much, just "ok" and no interesting at all. Anyway, I really like the Williams theme. I prefer it over the Galaxy Edge theme, for example.
  12. I don't have much appreciation for this score. I'll have a close listen to the existing edition and think about buying the new one. If I lived in the US, the choice would be easier but when you end up paying double due to taxes you start thinking very careful which scores really deserve a physical copy.
  13. I think the same but maybe the suite is not a full suite but a collection of variations on the theme. I simply hope that we can get this music (maybe the end credits in some episode will be a portion of that suite?)
  14. I hate this news because now I'm hyped thinking in all the great expanded stuff they could release... And I don't want to get hurt. So, no, I'm not expecting anything remarkable or memorable just some music where Williams is credited in someway.
