Shipped by Employee2!!! 😀

Just got an update email from LLL… for a different order that I placed almost a week after my Hook-Mask-Sneakers order. 😩 Lol

That’s what I’ve been hoping, but then again she is such a big name, I figured the LLL press release blurb would mention if it were her.

Who is the singer on “Childhood”?

Looks like a new LOST release is being announced tomorrow! https://www.facebook.com/varesesarabanderecords/videos/3508522282743970/

Nah, I figured it was probably a joke based on the specific track he mentioned… That’s why I was double-checking to make sure he was just joking. You can never be too careful.

Are you joking, or is there actually a glitch?

Yeah, I ordered mine Black Friday at 12:16am… Pretty sure within minutes of it becoming available to purchase. Hoping for an update soon.

Mine still says awaiting shipment.

Cool chat between Austin Wintory and Gordy.

I mean, his location is “The Internet” after all...

I’ve been waiting for that one to go back in-stock at their site… Do you think there is a chance any issues will be fixed before the next batch, or unlikely? I thought I read there were some sound quality issues with it?

I see where you’re coming from; I admit it’s entirely possible that my expectations for these sorts of things have been so lowered in recent years, that part of me didn’t even expect them to check off the boxes of that checklist.

I forgot all about this! The part starting at 4:31 sounds really cool; I hope they release a soundtrack album! Sounds like this may fit nicely in the Horner/Franglen canon.

I wish someone would post an official hi-res image of that sleeve cover art with the “Music by Simon Franglen”; the stock cover image that has been floating around on the various sites has “Original Motion Picture Soundtrack” across the bottom instead, rather than what you actually get.

Thanks for all that info, @Jay! Very interesting. I always noticed that “Prologue (Alternate)” on the 2012 album was in a higher key and with a slightly different orchestration in spots, but it never really occurred to me why it was faster than the standard OST version; that all makes sense now.

Does anyone know the reason why the OST “Prologue” is the “wrong” speed? Did someone in the editing room screw up? Or did Williams decide he liked it slower? And for that matter, why did people assume that it was originally recorded at a faster speed and got slowed down, rather than the possibility that it was recorded at the OST speed, and got sped up for the trailer that everyone got accustomed to? Forgive my ignorance on this.

I love Powell and I love his Solo score, but I think he’s the sort of composer who’s better off doing a spinoff. I don’t need “new life” breathed into the final film of Indiana Jones; I just need something that sounds close enough to the writing in the other films. I’m fine with his writing on Solo because it’s a spinoff from the main SW saga, but I think his style (I’m mostly talking his use of percussion) would stick out like a sore thumb if he had been hired to do a main SW saga entry or a main IJ film.

Isn’t this year the 40th anniversary of Brainstorm? Maybe a big anniversary like this would have provided some incentive for them to finally do it…? I hope.

Has anyone noticed that from 1:38-1:43 in “Confrontation at the Tomb,” the Raiders March appears to be an insert of the version heard at 1:56-2:02 in the OST track “Germany, 1944”? You can hear the edit if you listen closely, right after the first four notes of the theme; all the background instruments abruptly drop out when the insert happens. The final percussion hit syncs up with the new material featuring the muted horns. Pretty interesting. It’s almost like originally it was just supposed to be a brief reference to Raiders March (the first four notes), but then they later decided they wanted more of the theme in there. I’d be very curious to hear the original version.

Oh lol, I didn’t see that.

Brainstorm would be so great!

Why do you feel that way? I don’t see anything wrong with that opinion.

I don’t really care…? It doesn’t bother me one way or another who did what. I’m a little confused by your comment.

Mine too!
