Amer got a reaction from Unlucky Bastard in Close Encounters of the Third Kind - La-La Land MUSIC Discussion
WOW! I just cant get over this terrific release. Listening to this score once again in its full regalia has nothing less than a Tour De Force experience. The remastering and the pristine sound quality is STUNNING! Also the flow of the program has to be complimented as both discs display a familiar narrative. I had thought That I would only play a few selections from Disc1 and jump directly to Disc 2 but that never happened as I was totally mesmerised by the flow of the music. The Choir is so much ethereal and alive at times that it gave me goosebumps. The first generation tapes gives a whole new life to this score and allows the sound to become an organic breathing living sound. Kudos to Mike Matessino on doing such an astounding work on editing, assembling, mastering and producing this fine work. I'm sure La-La Land Records, Steven Spielberg and John Williams must be beaming with pride on this final product. Also I love the liner note/ essay on the set.. Specially noted is how various key scores from John Williams most prolific output of the late 70's and early 80's come to play in and around the making of this score and film. This is by far is the best restoration and preservation of a Williams score to date. The bar keeps getting Higher!

there's a lot more details in the cue Inside compared to the Boston Pops re-recording
also what does "barnstorming" mean?

Amer reacted to Brundlefly in New Jerry Goldsmith Projects in 2017?
Well, it were Intrada and Quartet, what a surprise!
I would say this was a decent year for Jerry Goldsmith fans! 4 titles got a complete release for the first time:
- Papillon (Quartet)
- The Haunting (Varese Sarabande)
- Damnation Alley (Intrada)
- The Russia House (Quartet)
Let's hope 2018 will be another awesome year for Goldsmith fans!

I think the movie is in trouble and they are pulling up the strings to save the movie. Thus Enter John Williams! Anyways.. It's good news for us and a reason for me to get the OST when it comes out next year.

Bernard Herrmann's OBSESSION is the only I know of. We have a Williams Tribute Celebration concert on on Blu ray video though.
