I stand corrected, then! Well shit, I hope they ask him, then! LOL. But I still stand by what I said about the quality of their other composers' work.

As much as I would LOVE for Don Davis to return, I know he has been retired from film score composing for some time (concert/operatic works only, unless I am wrong). However, if Giacchino does it instead I would still be excited. Speed Racer and Jupiter Ascending (all opinions of the films aside) are some of Giacchino's most energetic and interesting scores, especially Jupiter Ascending. Hell, the fact on that film that they had him compose suites just based off of the script was such a cool way to do it that it is clear they take music in their films seriously no matter who the composer is. Hell, Tom Tykwer, Johnny Klimek & Reinhold Heil's score to their Cloud Atlas film is also one of my favorite scores... so honestly, it almost doesn't matter who they choose. I am sure it'll be something awesome.

The other 2 Dragon scores. I know the thread says not to, but it has to be said once more just to make sure it happens, by golly! Okay FINE... did all the music to the first Shrek get released? That was the first score that brought my attention to him, despite it being a joint effort with Harry Gregson-Williams. However, I can totally feel which parts were Powell. When I first heard Narnia: Lion, Witch, Wardrobe was going to be done by Gregson-Williams, I was hoping for that sound they did in Shrek. While I like that score, I felt like it didn't have some of those qualities I liked from when he did that score, and assumed maybe that part of his style was Powell. Sure enough, when the first How To Train Your Dragon score happened, THAT was the sound I was looking for.

ON IT Btw... anyone know when "World Is Not Enough" will be back in stock?

Yeah, Jurassic Park... who likes that?!

Wasn't sure where to put this but had to post it... uhm can Williams make THIS transition happen in a concert?!

Oh hell yes! I was following the "Kong Is King" site when they originally posted those production and post-production diaries every week as they happened! And I remember (and have still downloaded) the Howard Shore video and then remember being really shocked when suddenly they were doing it with James Newton Howard without ever giving an explanation, and then having removed the Shore video! Don't get me wrong: I LOVE JNH's Kong score, but I was forever curious with what Shore did! I finally read that thread about the score and Doug's comments... WOW. I really hope it gets released someday! I think it would be perfectly fine to release what was recorded and release all the demos of what wasn't as bonus tracks. Or, maybe Shore would have the chance to record the unrecorded pieces someday? Either way I'd DEFINITELY buy it.

Are these the last Intrada titles of the year?

I had a feeling Release 5, given the unit count and price announced at the top of this thread, had the biggest possibility of being something I wanted, and I was right! I actually was hoping it would have been Jurassic Park 3 (which they said they would likely do), but Tremors is a fun score and never truly had a proper release! Didn't Intrada release like a promo album once or something? I should have seen the possibility of it coming, given the attention it has been getting this year with the new film and the new Blu-Ray/4K release. So I'm getting Tremors. Anybody here getting anything?

TREMORS!

So one of the releases has gotta either be the John Williams Harry Potter Collection, John Williams Jurassic Park Collection, Gremlins, or Back To The Future...

No. It's too late, Alva. It's just... too... late...

PST baby. 2 1/2.

Well originally the animatronics looked decent! As you can see here: But by its end... things looked a bit sour, and half the things weren't working correctly: After the ride closed in 2018 when the above video was shot, it then transformed into a Jurassic World ride. It kept some of what you see, but changed a lot of the aesthetics. The current Jurassic World variation is a mixed bag of improvements and detriments. However, I have heard that when the park reopens, the ride has been updated a little further to improve some of the issues people had. And glad you liked the music! He certainly had fun composing/adapting it!

I'll spare making a new thread and just place it within this one since this is where all the current interest in Jurassic is at. I just released today a new video showcasing an early original version of JURASSIC PARK: THE RIDE for the first time. It includes original music by Caleb Burnett, who I instructed to reference the John Williams themes. You guys may enjoy it.

Already ordered my copy and listened to the instant digital download. Sounds fantastic! Feels like it has more life than the promo album had. I thought people here would be interested in this release if only for the chance to have a score signed by William Ross (first 100 orders), the REAL composer of Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets! I kid, I kid... but seriously, I'm sure you all know how awesome he is. I actually am very familiar with this score, having owned the promo for years. As you all can tell I'm a dinosaur nut, so of course I saw the film as a kid when it was in IMAX theaters. At my age I loved the premise of it... this sort of Night At The Museum adventure, but this was before any of those movies. The VFX are often bit crude, even for back then unfortunately. And for many there wasn't enough screentime of actual dinosaurs to justify paying $20 to see it, haha! But there was enough for me at the time. Again it was the premise that really was just so cool to me. Clearly the score was the best thing about the film, though. It stood out to me immediately when I saw it, from the propulsive main title theme, to the calming family theme, the scary and intense moments for when the dinosaurs were there, and even a fun little source song that is meant to feel straight out of the 'olden times. It's a fun little score for a mostly forgotten film, now. (Despite having a DVD release) Any fan of William Ross, IMAX scores, and lush 90s scores will dig this. EDIT: BTW... if the owner of the company sees this post, I have to ask: Who sang the song "Kiss and a Squeeze"? The liner notes credit who composed it with Ross, but did he sing it, too? I actually can't find that info. online anywhere, either!

Totally agree with you Yavar! Especially in expanded form! It's an intense and fun thrill ride!

Mmmm Thor... I mean... could he be THAT Thor?

Same! Wow, his first Disney animated score since the 2000s! Count me excited!

Got my replacement CD! Thanks, Intrada! The horns are definitely back! SO prominent now in the opening track. Another easy way to see if you have the new disc is to check the CD-TEXT. Originally there was a goof/joke on track 7 "The Rescue , Discovery Of The Great Scott Valley". On the new disc, that is gone. It merely is the track name as it should be.

I'm thinking of leaving the end credits track in and just starting the whole program off with "Adventures of Han" just like the OST did.

Having not listened to it yet, is there anything unique in the credits at all? Or is it better to just omit it and replace with "Adventures Of Han"?

Disney, come on... you've lost so much money from your theme parks this year... you could easily make up .5% of it back from releasing stuff to peeps like us!

2016... aka the year my heart stopped for what felt like an hour after I saw the live posting of THE JOHN WILLIAMS JURASSIC PARK COLLECTION.
