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...
-
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.

In Tuk Tuk Chase Pt 2, I know the Conveyor Belt is pretty obvious, but anyone noticing the bit similar to a piece of Chase through Coruscant around the middle of the track and then some of Jango Fett Fight just prior to the cool statement of the Indy B theme?
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...).
-
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!
-
I'll wait to see if there are significant changes with the boxset!
-
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.
-
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...
-
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...

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.

YouTube lists Williams as the sole composer of End Credits, unlike the 6 other William Ross tracks (where the credit is shared).
I think we can infer Williams wrote the alternate intro and outro used for the end credits.
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.

Maybe, just maybe, Holt/Disney/the people involved in producing the soundtrack, didn't want listeners to realize that both Obi-Wan/Vader duels were scored by Ross? Because that would be kind of a bad look for the main credited composer...
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.
-
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.
-
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.

My prediction. The "Main Title" will be released on the album but we'll never hear the " suite".
There's ALWAYS something that goes wrong when something JW is released
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?)
-
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.
-
Umm I prefer the 2018 recording, I like this one but maybe at this moment I'm too familiar with the 2018 version and it takes some time to appreciate ASM take...
-
Great news! That means that I'll have to see the tv series hahahaha
-
I like Britell, for instance his score for Vice is pretty good, although I'm not sure if his style will be up to the task for a Star Wars series. He also composed last year Cruela so, I guess that's his connection with Disney and seems an ok score for the movie.
Anyway, I'm glad we are getting a new composer.

If this is sad news for you, I conclude you are planning to stay in your day job until you are 100?
Sorry for kidding. But for me this is great news in every possible way. This 90 year old fellow plans to continue making music! Writing. Conducting. I mean, how good could it get?
After all the rumours and stories how this worked in ithe production of Rise of Skywalker and how much he had to work for the trash can, I think, it is also much more valuable for us fans to get more of his concert works rather than another score.
hahaha I plan for that, indeed
That's why I said I understand him, is a sad news for me and for cinema.
I usually enjoy more his movie scores than concerts but is his choice not mine!
-
Wow... I can understand Williams but is a sad news. I hope this is similar to the situation after Schindler's List when he retired. But, indeed, he's 90 and he should enjoy life doing whatever he wants.
-
Thanks to @The Illustrious Jerry I can name the only bit of this score that I genuinely liked: The Jaunty Riff at You Fly, I'll Shoot.

No DRM. And the only Star Wars release I'm aware of with a spectral watermark is TLJ, but that's Disney Record's doing and is therefore present on all HiFi resellers.
That's curious why did they add a spectral watermark?

Oh man, I love Chris Cornell's You Know My Name!
That one is among my favourite songs in the Bond franchise. Also I like a lot Adele's Skyfall.
About Hans getting a golden globe for Dune's score... Well, I don’t care. I don't like much his composition but these are the golden globes.

I love a good montage! I have long felt that most shows/movies attempting to tell a big story do not use montages often enough. I had no problem with this episode having three of them!
... But three? In the same episode? I like montages because usually the score can shine there (my favourite cue in The Mandalorian is the training in Episode 4 of Season 1) so maybe one of the problem is that the music didn't touch me...
-
The second episode is better but I give the series another episode until I feel my time is more precious...
I'm glad more people are aware of Dean Cundey but when I saw the credits I felt sad because the cinematography was underwhelming. I don't know if it has something to do with the use of CGI but many scenes felt cheap. The backgrounds seem too static and the light fake, I know is just the desert, but they might need some wind, motion blur when the camera is moving, etc
But, anyway, my biggest problem with the show is the way they try to hook the fans including in Tosche station Camie and Laze, the reapear of Hutts... Seems that Star Wars is just a collection of winks for fans without making an effort in the story. Also, is curious how a 50 minutes episodes has 3 montages scenes: Boba learning to fight, the tuskens learning to ride the bikes and Boba making the stick.
As @rough cutI couldn't avoid laughing at the "part of the tribe" dance at the end...
[Sorry for the rant!]
Composers that you disliked, but now like?

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)
