TOTAL TIME - 1:17:06

I wasn't a big fan of the TALES FROM THE LOOP series, but I wish they had used Stålenhag's own, gorgeous, Vangelis-like music (or something similar to it) instead of the tired minimalism they ended up using (reviewed by me here). So this isn't a soundtrack, technically speaking, but it kinda also is -- Stålenhag providing music to his own artwork.

Ok, some of the more ambient/experimental parts are hard to get through, but this still remains a landmark electronic score.

Do or do not, there is no try.
 
 
Link, please.

Umm... So I like the OST but I was disappointed after seeing the track-list (and specially the "sound fx" disclamer) but the comments of @Jayand @TownerFan  made me think to purchase it, so i'll try to buy it!
 

Maybe because it doesn't deserve it 🤔

I did some consultancy on this project so I will probably come out biased, but the only thing I can say is that this release is worth all the time, money and attention of any serious John Williams fan. It's truly a wonderful presentation.
 
 
Courage's involvement is known since 1971, as he's credited in the main titles.
 
Williams' Oscar is more than deserved. It's a massive work of arranging, orchestration and also composition.

Conrad wrote a delightful score for chamber orchestra for the documentary Tim's Vermeer a few years ago. The main theme is Desplat-esque (it was likely temped with Girl with a Pearl Earring), but there is a lot to enjoy:
 
 
 
 
 

We can't talk about politics... but bootlegs, that's okay...
 
I'm disgusted!

Don't encourage him or these boots in general, please. And as said above, this scam store often doesn't even send things after you paid for it.

Powell's percussion >>>>> Goransson's synthetic percussion

I would like Williams, since this is absolutely out of question, I'll be also happy with Powell. James Newton Howard could be also good and Giacchino could make something better than Rogue One, for sure.
 
I hope is not Göransson. I'm getting quite tired of his Madalorian scores and I  won't be very happy if he becomes the go to composer for Star Wars.

Joel McNeely please.

Perhaps that's the reason it's your favourite...

(If anyone would like to hear the whole video, he can send me a Pm.)

Hi! Some of you may know that Eddie Karam was Williams's trusty orchestrator for a long time. Karam gave a talk in 2013 for The Academy of Scoring Arts where he discussed his life in music, his work with various composers (Williams, Mandel, Horner, etc.), and gave some very funny anecdotes. I don't think a thread about this video has been made before, so here are the comments he made regarding Williams.

Great question!  @crumbs, can you post a picture of your Disc 2 (specifically a close-up of the tiny numbers in the inner ring) and somebody else can post a picture of the first pressing?

I was going to say this

Pretty much sums up this thread:
 

I agree, Episode X (code name "something, something darker this time") is already finished. In fact, George Lucas filmed the whole movie right after Episode III. Williams, of course, score it in 2006 and, if you ask him, he's sure that the movie was premier that same year. Apparently Lucas new that if he released this new Episode people won't see The Clone Wars so he waited, but after being  sad with the reception of Red Tails, he decided to retire and sell Lucasfilms to Disney.
 
I don't want to spoil you guys this movie, Disney has it and Lucas wanted this movie to be "Episode VII" but they told him "No, George, we paid you a lot of money and we want to make our story. Your movie, will be in fact Episode X". George, obviously, though that was the right move because it would make his movie even better and more unexpected. 
 
The movie needed some reshoots because Disney wants to add Rey, Finn and the rest of the cast of their new trilogy into the movie. I can confirm you these reshoots are mostly done. Lucas is not doing the reshoots. He said, "I retired, you need to hire a younger director for these reshoots". So Disney hired David O. Russell. Williams is not needed for those reshoots because Philip Glass is already scoring some variations of the themes to fit these new scenes.
 
Anyway, they planed to release Episode X this year, but seems that Russell has 2 hours of reshoots of Finn training to be a Jedi and he refuses to cut this into the 10 minutes that Disney demanded. The rumours (is not yet confirmed) are that they will release "Finn trains for real: A Star Wars Story" as a precuel to Episode X.

@Mattris You know what? You're 100% correct. I see now that I was wrong. Episode X-XII are have been completely finished, and will be the best films ever made in the history of history. Episode VII-IX will also become some of the best films ever made because of this, and everyone who doesn't like them will suddenly love them. Also John Williams has already scored all thee of these films and will soon be back next year to score XIII-XIV, and they will be even better. You will be crowned king of JWFan, and replace Andreas and Ricard as site owner. The site will also be renamed to MattrisFan.

Yes, that's exactly what he's been saying, for well over a year.
 
He's somehow under the impression that once we have the context of this alledged Episode X, somehow we'll see the genius of Episode IX in retrospect...

Lucas never planed to use Luke, Han and Leia, actually the story focused into Qui-Gon's lost grandgrandchildren and his forbidden love for a Gungan. 
 
 
 
Probably, but the only track that I listened was a variation on the Desert Winds source track in Episode I. Glass wants to use the less popular material of Williams...
