  1. Yeah, I missed out on Predator.

    For a couple days, I felt scared (because I don't think I'll have funds for any of this for a couple months :/ ), but now I have just accepted the fact that I might not get to have these goodies...or that I will be spending extra money on them someday on eBay.

    I am starting to have recurring dreams of me winning the lottery.

  2. I'm embarrassed to say that I am not that familiar with this score. I have only recently begun familiarizing myself with the earlier Trek scores (besides TMP, which I've loved for long time). Even being not familiar with it, I am extremely excited for this...somehow I know it is awesome. Must be the Force....er...wrong franchise.

    Actually, I imagine it to be awesome because I love mr. Goldsmith, and I love TMP, Insurrection and First Contact.

    I am curious how people rate ST:V agains Jerry's other Trek scores.

  3. Lots of these moments for me but here are the ones off the top of my head...

    Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone: 'Hedwig's Time Transition/ A Change of Season' (gorgeous!), 'Leaving Hogwarts' (very end of the film)

    StepMom:

    Taking Pictures - when the harp gliss/ oboe comes in. Beautiful!

    Many, many parts of A. I.

    Phantom Menace:

    the force theme when Anakin leaves his home.

  4. I am sorry if this has already been discussed (I scanend through the thread looking for it)...

    Does anyone know where the tracked statement of 'hedwig's theme' during the cue "You're a Wizzard, Harry" (in the film) comes from? I've listened to the RS like 3 times now and I must be missing it. In the film, the whole middle of the cue is dialed out, and the first half is 'ended' with this tracked statement.

    Curiosity is killing me! Thanks in advance.

  5. If you enjoy 2+ hours of JW's Harry Potter music, you should enjoy most of Hook.

    Yes, indeed!

    I don't want to get my hopes up too much for Hook...and I don't even know if I'll have much in the way of funds at that point. I guess I should start selling stuff just in case!...

    Assuming I had the money, Hook would be an instant purchase for me. I can't remember if the whole score + alternates fits onto two discs or three...

  6. I've never had good results with earbuds or noise-canceling headphones. I'm spoiled by the sound quality on my Sony MDR-7506's. ;)

    Ah, I have been looking at these headphones to buy! They seem pretty awesome from reviews.

    So, does anyone know what the point of the micro-edits on the OST? Why edit tiny snipits out of 'Freindly Reptile' ('trip to the zoo' on the OST), bits from the Gringots Bank sequence, and like 6 sec from HWW? Sorry if this is common knowledge. I don't get the reasons.

  7. Well, we could debate it till the end of time, but I'll just restate my position: I'd rather listen to a DVD rip than nothing at all. :lol:

    I'm with Datameister on this one. Sure, I find it bothersome sometimes to hear the crappy sfx over unreleased music in my DVD rip edits, but I also find it cool when the complete score IS actually released/ leaked because it's a special moment to me when I can chuck my DVD-ripped sections and hear the music clean and clear. Dang...I sound like a nerd.

    I do completely understand the hatred for DVD-rips, I guess I am just able to tolerate the sfx knowing that someday (hopefully) the complete score will be released.

  8. I had the exact same reaction. It was always a standout cue for me, one I expected to hear on the OST - especially because I didn't realize its first appearance in the Diagon Alley scene was tracked, so I thought Williams had written two different cues with the same theme, so one of them would HAVE to be on the soundtrack. It wasn't till I got the DVD that I was able to realize that they didn't just share a theme...they were the exact same cue. Anyway, yeah, I was quite disappointed not to have that on the OST, although it sure ripped beautifully from the scene in the Great Hall.

    yeah, I remember thinking the same thing...it HAS to be on the OST. This was back in the days that I couldn't understand why soundtracks weren't just released complete to begin with...was always getting angry about my favorite moments not being on the OST ;) Good times.

    Listening to the complete score is really making me wish Mr. Williams will be announced for HP7 Pt 2. It's all such good music, I wish there was more. But hey, I should be grateful that this stuff even showed up.

    I am always wondering how stuff gets 'leaked' anyway. Kind of weird for 9 years after the film for the sessions to randomly plop out on the net.

  9. Goodmusician,

    please forgive my ignorance but I have a question regarding the cues in COS list that say "(TRACKED)."

    Does this mean that there aren't actually new cues recorded (for 8m4, 8m6 for example), but it was planned to track music from other cues into those spots? Again, sorry if it is a dumb question and thanks for the awesome post!

  10. Maybe one of those two rejected scores LLLR was going to release was Patrick Doyle's "Stepmom", with Williams' complete score, too, and since both rejected's were pushed back to next year, maybe we'll only get one Williams score from them this year. Just an out-there theory.

    Hey, that's a really interesting idea! I know that some here don't care for the StepMom score too much, but I personally find it very delightful and beautiful in spots. I'd be pretty excited to have a complete version, and it would be very interesting to hear Doyle's original.

  11. As strange as it sounds, Alien Resurrection has always been one of my 'holy grail' scores, so I am way excited for this release! John Frizzell really managed to somehow take the warmth out of the orchestra (in a good way) and some of the quieter moments in the score are just spooky, eerie and haunting. And like the description says, there is plenty of adrenaline-pumping action music.
