Huh. I kinda thought the 2009 Oxford Dictionary would be the biggest book of the year.
My bad.

Ah. Well as a fat man, I don't mind telling you that calorie content doesn't phase me.
-
I don't remember what revision I got so I can't remember. I just know that the Tribute to Vernon track I got in mine had dialogue and other background noise mumbling throughout, making it practically unusable.
-
Oh...Well I deleted my Indy music from this computer so I didn't have it to examine. My mistake if I came across sounding half-cocked.
Did you get the Fortune and Glory from the editing packages? I don't remember seeing it in there and being puzzled as to why, I had to get it from the DVD, tweeting birds and all, which made me reluctant to have it connect the Indy and the Village People track to the Short Round track.

Surely you know its inferior to STTMP. It can't touch Wrath of Khan, or Search for Spock, and its probably not as good as Final Frontier. The more I think about it the Voyage Home is better, and it did get a well deserved Oscar nomination to its credit.
I'm sorry, but is there somewhere I can go to buy your book of opinions, so I don't run afoul of your authoritative dissertations on soundtrack rankings?

Not to sound like a noob, but where could I go to learn more about this SPDIF technology and its benefits? I just received the guts to the new gaming rig I'm going to build, and the motherboard has an onboard SPDIF connector, and the video card does as well. The stereo on my dresser, however, is a ten year old POS, but it's pretty far down on the list of things to replace next.

That's because "The Old Priest" wasn't used in the movies. It was used in the LEGO game, but it definitely features thematic material used in the movie. I think you meant "Indy and the Villagers" which does run directly into whatever you want to call the DVD rip to the Fortune and Glory segment.
I already edited everything from Indy Negotiates to the unreleased music where Indy shows up in the village, including my own rather nice hybrid of the movie and Concord versions of the Map extension music, and don't really feel like adjusting it to make pitch corrections.

Not nearly as much as in your average mid-80s Goldsmith score.
Besides, Borg are cybernetic organisms. Electronic sounding music is not entirely inappropriate.

There was a program I found and don't remember the name of that would copy your iTunes library straight into a non-protected format. However, you did need to be properly logged into your iTunes account, and it recorded the files in realtime, or at best double-time, so it is not at all a way to pirate an iTunes collection. It's just a timesaver to circumvent the burn/rip process.
Perhaps this is just a sign of the times that iTunes is evolving as technology, internet bandwidth, and consumer demand have changed.

League or not, I listen to it and like it more than STTMP. That may change in a day or so, though.
-
I find that the incorrect pitch only really bothers me when I am familiar enough with the music to notice, namely comparing the Concord Raiders to the DCC Raiders that I've had for ten years. I did correct them because the Concord Raiders music always felt uncomfortably sped up anyways that I didn't like it much. But when it comes to the smorgasbord of "new" material for Raiders and TOD, I don't really care about pitch because I haven't overanalyzed either movie to the point where I notice a discrepancy, so it doesn't bother me.
-
Not to forget The Dish. The OST leaves out some of the best moments, though. The music heard in the hallway as Picard leads his commandos through Borg infested corridors. The music as the escape pods jettison. And I absolutely adore the entire sequence as the Enterprise fires on the Phoenix, the way that the music dynamically builds to a deliberately stretched out statement of the Enterprise's main theme.

I only saw it once and did not enjoy it.

Do Boyens' and Walsh's contributions to the lyrics count?
-
That's why you've just got to learn how to take candy out of the wrapper while it's still inside your pocket. Muffles the sound, solves the problem.
-
Just turn your headphones around.

I think crumbs fell off the edge of the map.

I voted 4.5 based on the wealth of superior material not found on the OST, but which is truly gorgeous Star Trek music. Perhaps not as good as TMP, but I enjoy listening to FC more.
-
Nah...when the music's over, turn out the lights.

It's not a tummah.

Maybe the people who clap when they hear their favorite bit of music are paid by the group and the concert hall to devalue any illegal bootleg recordings that are being made of that concert, by having such "noise" present...
I'm sure those people are just feeling overly enthusiastic towards their music. Just like the people who sing and clap overly loud at rock concerts, although they forget that film music at a concert hall is much quieter and more formal than a rock concert, so many more people will hear such interactions and take offense to them.
What irks me is when the conductor announces that they're going to play a suite of a certain number of movements, and then people clap between each movement, not recognizing that it's not over until that baton comes down and the conductor turns around.
-
Wait, there's a complete version of the Star Trek: The Motion Picture score floating around that supersedes the expanded version? Where?

Does anybody have a reliable guide on how to arrange an expanded KOTCS soundtrack, using the rear channel DVD rips, the 3 pre-viz sequences, the OST, and any other DVD/non-DVD source I may not be aware of? Santa Claus brought me this unexpected surprise, and I'd like to use it wisely. If it's in an earlier post, I didn't find it. Thanks!

Eh, I scoured the whole thread, there may be enough to go on. I don't honestly know who to pm to hear somebody else's arrangement, as I am several months late to the KOTCS expansion party.

I watched the extended DVD cut of Terminator 2 the other day. I thought all the additions actually made it too long. This coming from the guy who loves the extended LOTR movies.
The Official Indiana Jones Pitch Correction thread

Wow that sounds intense. But IMHO it's silly to pitch correct a music file from a video game that was used only in that video game, never in the movie, and was ripped from the video game exactly as it was used in the video game. Therefore the pitch of what you have ought to match perfectly to its original presentation, being said video game. Adjusting the pitch to make it fit better into what you expect the themes ought to sound like or to where you want to place the music in your collection is unnecessary.
