  1. Screw that. I'll get mine from Sanity. That's just total BS.

    Physical release delayed in Australia. Fuck!

     

    Please note that due to manufacturing/distributing issues, stock is delayed. Stock is expected to arrive in store & online 27/12/2019. Expected date is subject to change.

     

    Looks like my first listen will need to be a digital download, sadly. Hopefully there's a HD audio version by Friday. 

     

    What the actual.....?

     

    Fuck that embargo shit

    @crumbs Sanity have confirmed that all Australian retailers have the same delay, however they're claiming it will be in stock on the 30th - no doubt JB will change it to that date too.

     

    Bummer. Ah well, it's only a week longer and we'll both probably have a digital copy to fill in the gap.

    In this particular case, yes, a set made entirely of film edits is jarring and not very pleasant. I kept 3 or so for my playlist. I had the film edit of the sinking sequence for a while before reverting to the LLL tracks.

     

    For me there's a major difference between something like the sinking sequence which is a giant mess of repeated/looped/rearranged bits, and some of the smaller instances where a track was repurposed for an important scene and leaves no blatant evidence that it was tracked. The two that stuck out to me are one of the brief lifeboat scenes which ends with Rose's Suicide Attempt and Rose rescuing Jack which brilliantly uses 2 1/2 Miles Down. In total I believe I have 3 film edits with the rest pretty much just the LLL main program (with Rose's theme 95% removed).

     

    Hi guys, sorry for the late reply here. I don't frequent these forums much anymore.

    As much as the score works in the film the edits are hidden under sound effects and dialogue so you don't hear just how bad or jarring the edits can be. So I decided to make my own version. It's still not film accurate but it flows so much better. I used the OST track The Sinking, added a short section from A Building Panic for Astor's Death then included Death of Titanic for a single 13 minute track. I think it flows together really well and adds the music from an key scene that was missing.

    Wow - there’s a a scene missing? Really cool that you have the knowledge to pick that out, probably you’re one of the few people in the world who’s able to do that!

     

    Isn’t human nature funny, though? Even though the extended cut on Blu-ray adds 33 mins of (to most of us) previously unseen footage, now I’m really curious about that missing scene...

     

    What happens in it more specifically?


    The missing scene is only a very small cut of about 3-5 seconds and occurs immediately following Lex yells "Otis, do you want to see a very very long arm?" Lex then climbs out of the drivers seat and jumps in the back while Miss Teschmacher screams and leans over to grab the wheel.

    It then cuts to a view of the back of the Ambulance now swerving over the road and the doors swinging open, showing Otis leaning out the back of the vehicle and Lex over the top of him where Lex hits him in the eye. The scene is underscored by a short March of The Villains cue before cutting away.

    I've still got the TV version I recorded in 1986 showing this scene somewhere and I'll try and load it if I can.
     

    This image was taken with my phone with the scene paused and the video is of the whole scene. 

    The quality is very poor because when first recorded 32 years ago (OMFG) it was onto Betacord. Eventually this was transferred to VHS and finally to DVD with no enhancements so quality has been lost in every transfer BUT I'm still going to keep it as it's a time capsule with TV commercials lol.

     I've had the LLL release of the Titanic score since January of this year, and I even just finished creating the film edits.  Doing them, however, was quite difficult (especially "2 1/2 Miles Down") as some of the edits had multiple tracks overlapping each other.  I also had to recreate much of the unreleased material (e.g. Violin Tool Kit, Wild Piano, and the synth choir overlapping the trombones in "A Promise Kept").

     

    That being said, I'm happy we finally got to hear the score in it's entirety.  My favorite tracks in the LLL release are "2 1/2 Miles Down"; the film versions of "Southampton", "Leaving Port", and "A Building Panic"; and "Trapped on D Deck".  I'd wish "Unable To Stay, Unwilling To Leave" without the Uilleann pipes, as well as the version with the flute ending heard at the end of the film just before "My Heart Will Go On", would get released.


    With the amount of editing that was done to the score I'm happy with the way the score was released, except I do love the way Southampton opens in the film so I might edit the opening of the alternate version of Southampton D3 T6 with the OST track. I did also edit The Sinking with the music where the Grand Stair Case implodes and Death of Titanic as it makes the music flow so much better.

  5. This is the version of the film I grew up with. I first copied this from the TV in 1986 (onto Betacord) then later to VHS and eventually to DVD. I still have that disc and even though I have the 13 disc set from years ago and the first movie on Blu-ray THIS version will always be my "go to" version.

     

    My only gripe is that it's missing one scene and that's when Lex is showing Otis his "very long arm" whilst hanging out the back of the ambulance.

    I think its just the original music intended for the scene before the 'death of the titanic' (before it got half replaced by tracked music)

    which ends around the time the water breaks through the glass ceiling and floods every room

     

    Having a film version of The Sinking would be too jarring and repetitive so I edited The Sinking and Death of Titanic using the OST tracks, and bridging them together with the small section from A Building Panic for where the Grand Stair case floods.. It makes for a whole better listening experience.
