Ranking is always hard for me but here it goes:
Williams:
1- Empire Strikes Back
2- Jaws
3- Harry Potter and The Prisoner of Azkaban
4- Raiders of the Lost Ark
5- Superman
Non-Williams (this is even harder, there are too many for just choosing 5)
1- The Perfume (Johnny Klimek, Reinhold Heil & Tom Tykwer)
2- King Kong (Max Steiner)
3- Psycho (Bernard Herrmann)
4- Under Fire (Jerry Goldsmith)
5- Gods and Monsters (Carter Burwell)

Deleted to avoid confusion.

I do, I think is one of the best scores from Williams, and that's saying a lot.
-
This lists are always subjective and never get everyone happy but I felt ashamed with some of the inclusions. Clearly they are thinking more in "music inside a movie" than a proper score. And you can tell that someone is trying hard to pretend being smart when they add to one of this lists 'Solaris'. I mean, is a great movie, but is quite hard to consider the music from Eduard Artemiev as a masterpiece.
-
Yep, in my first listen to this score I felt it was completely unremarkable. It didn't give me a headache, but I couldn't pick themes or enjoyable moments. It's a pity since I was expecting something better, I like the things Toprak has done with Elfman, for example.

LLL should do a nice box that can be purchased separately to house the four scores in
Indeed!

I ordered this week so it will take some extra time hahaha Thanks!

I ordered all of them too and got shipping notice yesterday
That's nice, maybe I'll get mine sooner than expected! Or did you order it on the first day?
-
... So some days ago I finally order this set together with Superman II, III and IV. I guess it would take long until they ship my package, the queue of people that ordered Superman should be quite long.

I love this score, for me is Zimmer & Co. best work, but I'm not so convinced with the edition. I'm not sure how much the original album adds (and I already own it) and I listened to the Melanesian Choirs some time ago and found it difficult to enjoy. In any case, I'm considering buying it for the first 2 CD's and I guess the liner notes would be also worth it.
-
I'm listening to 'Doctor Who: Series 11' composed by Segun Akinola and it's better than I remember while watching the series, but not remarkable. I miss Murray Gold very much and I hope they are still releasing his score for the 10th Season soon...
-
I prefer the Force Awakens over any of the precuel scores. IMHO the thematic material is stronger and I enjoy the action pieces more. It would be something as: 1. TFA, 2. TPM, 3. RotS and 4. AotC.

I think he has time, but also Matessino said that "he thinks" Williams won't be working of Episode IX until Summer.

I would be absolutely fine with not having the Family theme at all on Set 3: Reunion of Friends is a perfect sendoff for leaving it behind, but that also goes for the whole mood of 1&2.
I agree but, in any case, is a bonus to have it

Thanks @Jay!
16 hours ago, TSMefford said:We have discussed it a couple times yes. Seems to be mostly the work of a trailer house, with a new mix of "Reunion of Friends" tacked on the end there. Same recording, new mix.
It's probably the most strange inclusion in a Williams' score, honestly. I don't complain since it makes the set more complete, but I don't understand why they included it (maybe it was simply because they had the files...?).
-
I guess this has been discussed but with so many pages it's hard to follow (BTW is there a way for searching inside a topic?) but what about the trailer music in Prisoner of Azkaban? I mean, is that composed by John Williams? In the booked they don't say differently, but all those synths seem more a job from a trailer music company with the recording of Chamber of Secrets at the end, right?

Why would you need to keep the Die Another Day OST? Serious question; I'm not familiar with that score
Maybe the horrible Madonna's song? I think is the only thing missing if one wants to be completionist.
-
Now that we are talking about film order and different versions... What about the source material on the leaked sessions? I mean, do someone (@Jay, for example) knows which where the takes that got to the film mix?
-
Obviously it is. And a great one. No discussion.
-
I don't trust the rumor it seems more likely that they have misinterpreted Williams' declarations regarding his retire from 'Star Wars'. I think he will continue working with Spielberg for sure.

Same thing happened with my JP order two years ago... first one was untraceable after taking 5 weeks, when I wrote to LLL they immediately sent another one, which arrived 6 days later, and the next day the original showed up. I inquired with them how I can return the spare, but never heard back, then I kinda forgot about it... so it's still gathering dust somewhere (the unopened package, that is).
My HP/SL is still sitting in Frankfurt customs, for a solid 7 days now. The excitement rises...
I wrote them yesterday and I haven't heard from them yet... Anyway, maybe until January they are not there (form the 19th until January 3rd there are no shipments). I'll iterate the process if I don't hear from them.
BTW, about customs, my packages didn't get stopped there but for those that have that situation, do you need to pay extra after that? Or is "only" the annoyance of waiting extra time for no clear reason?

Congrats for getting the package, twice.
Now you have a spare copy.
I assume that I will be able to return it to LLL. In the unlikely case that they tell me to keep it, I'll be able to make a very nice present for someone hahahaha
48 minutes ago, Luke Skywalker said:How in the hell did you receive the replacement that was sent five days after mine, before me... :p.
Mine is still on Madrid.
No idea, the shipments are a mess. The first copy arrived at Madrid the same day as the replacement (and the replacement was sent 3 days after the original package), but it was sent to the postal service 2 days before the replacement. I think all these is random.
1 hour ago, Bilbo said:People have gotten two copies and I still haven’t gotten one 😭
I'm sorry. As I was saying I think the postal services are a mess, they are serving the packages randomly. I'm sure everything works smoothly in other time of the year but christmas is just crazy.
I hope you get yours soon
-
Funny how things have turned with my package... I have just got both at the same time: the original with the wrong address and the replacement. I wrote LLL asking how I return one of the packages (actually I only opened one, the other should have the same content).
The interesting detail is that the Spanish Postal Service tried to leave me the first package but they couldn't figure out the address, and it was after getting the second package when they realised that the first one should also go to my address. -
@redishere wow, that's totally crazy... Is it Italian mail usually that bad?

What if you get both sets, though? You gonna return one?
Yes, of course. I just paid for one set. They are sending two sets because the USPS decided to change my shipping address and most likely they won't find anything with that address.
1 hour ago, mstrox said:Maybe it’s the address? Have them ship another box to me too, just to be sure.
Yes, that's the issue. The address in the first set is not correct so most likely the postal service in Spain will return it to them because they don't find that address.
Did you get the recent Expanded Soundtracks of Jaws and Superman?
in JOHN WILLIAMS

I bought the Superman CDs and I¡m happy with those. At some point I considered buying Jaws and Jaws 2 but.... Maybe I'll wait for a re-re-release hahahaha
