I wasn't completely satisfied with my alternate Honey I shrunk the kids cover so I've updated it by adding a magnifying lens in the mix.

See my updated original post  ⇧

 

and here is a third variation

From the picture of the back I suspect you only did the front(s), but even that's progress. Didn't you also do those Herrmann rerecordings or am I misremembering?

Thanks for the praise you all!

Yes, I only did the covers.

And yes, I did the Herrmann covers too

I had the pleasure to produce the official two covers for Intrada's release of Tiomkin's Night Passage

I made 3 covers in total and they pick two.

Here is the unused one

[Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny - Isolated Score Track]

I finally got myself the 4K blu-ray and got to listen to the isolated score. It's damn good!!! And so rich! I put it among Williams' best works! 
It really deserved its "score of the year" award. And well deserved its nomination at the Oscar too.

I wish they would release a 2CD album of the expanded soundtrack...

My three guesses are:

2. Dan Goldwasser

3. Holko (but he denies it)

I was the lucky number 4 on this one 😉

[James Horner's HONEY, I SHRUNK THE KIDS (1989) - NEW! 2024 Intrada Expanded Edition]

What bugs me more is the fact the new re-releases from Intrada use an almost identical art and design as their previous releases (Inchon, Species, Honey... etc..). Which makes it very hard to differenciate one version from the other. I'm sure a lot of people will end up buying the previous version of Honey or Inchon, thinking they're getting the remastered or expanded one.

 

here is my "remastered" cover

 

I shrunk the kids even more on this one to get closer to their actual scale in the movie. and I made Rick look down compared to the original poster.
You can see my alternate cover on the Custom Covers Thread

Thanks to Photoshop "Generative fill" tool for the 2nd cover

[What Is The Last Film You Watched? (Older Films)]

I re-watched SHAUN OF THE DEAD a couple days ago.
 

Ouch! It really didn't age well.

 

I used to be a fan, but so many gags either aren't funny or are problematic to today standards.

And the editing feels very amateurish. It felt like I was watching a student film.

There are stil a few moments that work and brought a smile to my face but that's it.

[What is the last piece of classical music you listened to?]

I finally got to attend a concert of Dvorak's 9th symphony.

Gosh, that was incredible! I got goose bump for most of the performance.

 

J. WILLIAMS and Hollywood owe so much to Dvorak. All the 80s big orchestra Hollywood score is in this symphony.

Wow, where do you keep getting these incredible source images from?

 

I think it's great, the only thing that bothers me is that the "Pete" at the bottom right is hard to read. In such cases I always edit the source image so that the font stands out more and a certain distance to similar colors in the background is maintained. I try to avoid drop shadows as much as possible.

Thanks @heidl,

it's been corrected.

 

This visual is actually a collector action figure I found online. it looks better than the alien in the movie I think

Has anyone who did the kickstarter and has a copy read it yet? I read it voraciously over the last week and really enjoyed it. Don’t really know quite how much to write as I don’t want to spoil any of the interesting nuggets included (although not much I didn’t know already) for those who haven’t got a copy yet! Still overall a fascinating read and makes you want to listen to all of his scores again. 

I'm religiously waiting to have the real thing in my hands before reading it.

Don't spoil please. Or maybe create a new thread for those who read it already?

@raferjanders I like the first one very much.
For the second, I'm not to keen on the frame

[Hans Zimmer's THE THIN RED LINE (1998) - 2019 4-CD La-La Land Edition]

I bought the 4CD set when it came out. That was a mistake.

 

This is the most unnecessary expansion I've ever listened to. 
It's so boring. After 3 tracks, it feels like you're listening to the same track over and over.

Even the 4th disc with the polinesian choirs (which I loved on the original album) gets on my nerves after 4 tracks.

 

I agree with Thor, the original program was more than enough.

[Christopher Young's SPECIES (1995) - NEW! 2024 Intrada 2-CD edition]

Not putting samples is, in my opinion, a big mistake. It happened many times I bought a soundtrack only after I listened to the samples.

So many bad movies have great scores. I would not own half of my Goldsmith collection if I didn't hear samples.

I hope it's not a new rule at Intrada. If it is, they will surely lose many potential customers

What's the clown face looking thing next to the ray gun? How would that fit in for Aliens?

it's not a clown face but a mask.

Could be Predator I or II which, if the 1st one is What Lies Beneath, a Silvestri double release

I made a slightly different version for those who prefer it not just refering to the video game, since it was originally a score to accompany the reader of the book.
 

 

and another one using a source from the comic book series

I think the only thing I can't really get behind is the overlay dark, over-sharpened Struzan painting. In case you  need a better source, here you go:

@Steffromuk That Star Wars Anthology cover is masterful!  I've seen that Tom Jung art as a b&w sketch.  Did you color it, or did you find a color source?  I love it.

Thanks! I found a color source but it was in bad shape and I had to do some heavy restauration work on it and some AI upscale too, since the image was quite small, as you can see below.
