Had to say it anyway! lol. I just want it to happen so badly.

Isn't GREMLINS largely electronic?

I'm not discussing anything specific here, but I honestly just don't see why when anyone who has scores like these that they don't discreetly share them. If not directly via person to person, then instead like randomly uploaded somewhere for someone to stumble upon and spread like fire. If one is afraid of being tracked down, then do it from some other location. I guess that's just what I would do if I was in the situation. I believe music should be heard by everyone, not vaulted up.

Hmm, I haven't done comparisons with the rear channels. Maybe the sources for the stuff not on the footwarmers were not stored properly or something. I mean it was back in 1996, right? Enough time for damages to happen. And I did see Ford A Thaxton's name listed for "special thanks"...

Okay, not to play Devil's Advocate (fun game!) but me and at least one other person (shout out to "Paleo") believe the actual mixing quality of this release is a bit... sub-par. Granted, don't get me wrong, I'm very happy about this release for the music itself and even the presentation and sequence is great, but I thought the mixing of the bass sort of kills it. There are times when it makes everything sound so muffled I can hardly distinct what is going on. Now I know the score is meant to be chaotic and loud, that's not what I mean. Just compare the sound of this to LaLaLand's release of Godzilla, for example. That score has plenty of equally chaotic and loud parts, but you can always hear what is going on. Heck, compare the quality to recent release of much older scores like The Goonies and RoboCop, and you'll see what I mean. What happened? Maybe it was the way this particular score was recorded and there wasn't much to work with to fix this problem, but in my opinion, I honestly think the footwarmer sounds better.

So has anyone received their ID4 yet? USPS is taking their sweet ass time, it seems. I live in California not far from where LaLaLand ships, and still haven't gotten it. Grrr. lol.

Yeah I know! I think it plays like the entire cue, too!

It's just too bad the OST doesn't have the T-Rex Jeep Chase... ...even though I hear it all the time playing at the store at Universal Studios Hollywood!!! UUUUGGGGGHHHH! SLAP IN THE FACE!!! Someone needs to work there and pull a Dennis Nedry and sneak in at night and steal the music tape that plays in the store...

Well according to you guys, and my order number (23591), I got an autographed copy! YES! I'm excited because I was sad that I missed out on an autographed copy of Godzilla when it came out, so I promised myself to make up for that loss with this! <_<

Mine was 23591

Ordered!

So... tomorrow is the big day!

But what about live action films, like the ones Intrada got last year? Did Intrada, and Intrada alone, get exclusive rights to release Disney scores? Or perhaps other labels like them, like La La Land can as well? I'm really hoping someone will either do a re-issue of Disney's (slightly disowned) RETURN TO OZ by David Shire, or even a complete release. I have hopes since FSM's recent interview with David Shire about that specific score that maybe they will do it, or if not, someone else.

Well, they have to somehow explain (SPOILER) why the snake must be killed, since it is a horcrux. I'm wondering how they will go about it now.

I actually think HBP was a decent adaptation of the book, at least much moreso than OOTP. With the missing Voldemort memories aside, it pretty much had the basics and most of the good plot points. I do think they should have had Dumbledore's funeral though, and explained the horcruxes he needs to get in the next film like they did in the book. But I have a feeling they wanted to explain that in the next film instead, I guess because it would be more involved in that story anyway.

I'm not quite excited about the Season 5 soundtrack release since it pretty much just sounded like reused bits of Season 4 (though that music was my favorite in the series). Anyone else agree?

How To Train Your Dragon was actually a very decent film! Lot of fun, and not too silly or stupid. The music actually works very well in it.

Spared no expense! It'll make the one they have in Kenya look like a petting zoo!

Probably like what was done for the Jurassic Park ride, though the choices there must have been easy, lol. But still, I'm glad they even went to him at all, and are actually using his music in the ride! I thought for a while there they wouldn't have bothered since the films haven't used his music (save the main theme) since film 3.

I got mine from Varese a few days ago, actually.

I got a shipping confirmation! YAY!

I completely agree! That has to be my favorite cue that was uncovered. I remember hearing it in the theater when I saw the movie the first time and immediately screamed in my head "Where the HELL was this on the OST?!". In fact most of the left-off action music is pretty stellar, like the Thanator Attack, and the fight music at the end. Makes for a much more fulfilling experience. I love it!

Someone who is more familiar with the score, and OST (which I am not really too familiar with to be honest, once I knew a lot of the cues I wanted weren't on it) should perhaps try and come up with what exactly is new/alternate on this promo, and what isn't, and where it fits. What I LOVE about having something like this is being able to make my own OST just the way I want it. It'll be way more action-heavy than it currently is now.

Damn right, lol.
