Mr. Breathmask

I was fine with the titles.
 
And Rogue One's score did nothing for me. It was music, sure. But nothing as invigorating as what Williams came up with for Episode VII. It was a joy to sit in a theatre with music like that playing to a new film. Giacchino's Rogue One just felt very wallpaper-y. Traditionally orchestral, sure. But still wallpaper.

I knew it!

Meh.

There's no liner notes or anything on the TLW OST. Just a tracklist on the back and that stupid diorama.

Wouldn't even have to be Williams scoring.
 
Just someone with some chops for good themes and thematic consistency throughout the series would have helped.

It's a testament of Williams' timeless brilliance. Somehow, he manages to crank out a score that generates a whole new generation of film music lovers eery ten, fifteen years. That's amazing. It's as true a signew of the man's craft and talent as any and the reason a place like this is still going after almost twenty years. I doubt any composer could challenge such an achievement.
 
That might be the most fanboyish thing I've ever written, but... uh, well... there it is.

I didn't care that much for Superman II or III, but Superman IV: The Quest for Peace is the real gem of that collection. Great score and highly underrated!

I saw Jurassic Park long before I ever saw Star Wars. I first saw JP in 1994. I didn't see a Star Wars movie until 1999 and that was The Phantom Menace.

Nice interview. Thanks for sharing!
 
"Soundtrack buyers do have an expensive hobby. And I'm very, very grateful that they exist and that they support all these efforts. I will just advice John Williams fans to save some money. Particularly over the next year or so. There are a lot of things happening."
 
Oh my.

It's here!
 
Unfortunately, despite the copious amount of bubble wrap, the case still got damaged and needs to be replaced (the lid holding disc four fell off after opening).
 
But so much awesome music is here, so who cares?!

I liked the bit about the convoluted right issues and how the Falling Car/T-Rex Chase combination could be done because T-Rex Chase was released in 2013. It's a behind the scenes detail none of us would likely consider when looking at the track lists.
 
To add to that: thank the film score gods Universal was willing to part with the rights for the unreleased parts from Rescuing Sarah so that track could be restored to full glory!

Long time lurker and of course huge fan of JW. I absolutely love the new collection, as it's something I've been longing for since 1997. TLW score has been severely underrated and of course given a shortened 14 track OST originally... but now we can all rejoice. TLW extras have given renewed life to the score and I hope this gives it exposure to those who haven't gotten into it before. So far the "Corporate Helicopters" is my favorite addition. Amazing work by JW.
 
I don't want this to seem like a flat out plug, but I interviewed Mike Matessino this past weekend about this collection and figured I'd give you all a heads up. Take a look if you want to: http://www.jurassicparkpodcast.com/home/2016/12/12/interview-w-mike-matessino-produced-edited-mastered-the-la-la-land-records-jurassic-park-collection-episode-77
 
I'll try not to lurk anymore and actually be an active participant. I've always liked coming around here.
