It must be a franchise!

I bought one of them blu spec CD's, Empire Strikes Back Sony Re-Release. No difference at all.

Potter Please! For the love of Williams!

When are they revealing the question marked release for this month?

That ace Imperial March cue in the film is missing from the OST

Mine hasn't even dispatched yet!? What The?

How do you have the CD already!?

Is the soundtrack out there yet? no samples etc. ?

Yes it is, i forgot about that!

I think it's just Anakin's Dark Deeds that has the film percussion in it. Shame they didn't use the film mix for Enter Lord Vader as well. The really prominent part of Tie Fighter attack was better on every previous release though, I find it very hit and miss.

Agreed, it's embarrassing.

Listening to Attack of the Clones now, the prequels are really good overall. However has anyone heard this terrible cross fade that is phasing that badly its cutting the trombones out? Attack of the Clones - Track 12: Love Pledge and The Arena (5.46)

'Alternates'.... There's more than one! I NEED THEM ALL!

The amount of people that say the imperial march from the soundtracks is the one used in the film! So glad someone else can hear the difference!

Yes it's not very good, some have described it as sounding MONO, i also feel the same. No width on the string section at all (compared to the others).

There's no Cymbal on the score either, must be an over dub or sample recorded earlier. I know on film scores like this they sample a few of the instruments doing suspended cymbal rolls or bass drum hits to overlay if they need to chop cues up. Why this cymbal has been put in and just cut off, I've no idea! and Thank you

Wow, anyone heard the disappearing cymbal during the droid march? The Phantom Menace - Track 14 - The Droid Invasion (2.48)

I teach how to mix Film Music (mainly orchestral mock ups), I'm going to be using these releases (particularly Empire Strikes Back) to show what NOT to do. I'm so deflated, I should have guessed that these would disappoint us, I was trying to be optimistic. I love the prequels they sound really good, looking forward to those being expanded, just hope it's MM.

It sounds like the one from the phantom menace ultimate edition, so these are 'the film mixes' as they've said. I'm glad we got these sets but there are some crazy decisions.

Oh god, listen to the statement of the Imperial March at the end of Yoda and the Force. How the hell has this happened!?

I was initially impressed with The Imperial March, now I've heard it all i'm a little disappointed. The Cellos and Basses are too loud, can't hear the balance properly with the Violas or Violins in the Ostinato in the introduction. The Brass in the first statement seems to sound out of phase, but then seems to be rectified in the final statement. Wish this was a bit more like the 5.1 mix from the 'Musical Journey' set. Overall it seems like the prequels have the best treatment in this set.

OMG Thank you! THAT F*CKIN BRASS!!!!!!! Wait so if you have apple music you can listen to the whole thing now? (UK)

I've only heard the short sample in the B section with the wind flurries. Dying to hear the main section. Is it up anywhere? I'm dying here looping the same 20 seconds.

Oh wow just heard the Battle of Hoth. It's awful!

OMG! The Imperial March sounds amazing!
