Joe Brausam 214 Posted August 15, 2007 Share Posted August 15, 2007 By now I would have assumed that we would have a release date or some substantial information. Do we know anything new about this set yet? Has Doug Adams said anything about it on FSM recently? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Breathmask 555 Posted August 15, 2007 Share Posted August 15, 2007 It will be 4 CDs and is planned to be released before the end of the year.That's all we know.If anything new pops up, it should be found in this thread. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aj_vader 534 Posted August 15, 2007 Share Posted August 15, 2007 i really cant wait to hear that ROTK Complete Recordings, the full score in 5.1 DVD Audio, FANTASTIC!i just wish we could have all 6 star wars movies done like that, a DVD Audio and 2-3 CD's Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
indy4 155 Posted September 2, 2007 Share Posted September 2, 2007 What LOTR: ROTK cue are you most looking forward to? I want the cue right after Aragorn sees the beacons of Gondor being lit, and goes to ask Theoden to aid Gondor. I also want the cue when Theoden starts riding in front of Rohan's army, his sword clanging against their spears. Other than that, there are many other good cues in Pealeanor Fields, and throughout the rest of the movie. Those are the only ones that come to mind at this very moment.

pete 907 Posted September 2, 2007 Share Posted September 2, 2007 I'm not very familiar with the music to come, but one segment comes to mind and that's the choral rendition of the Fellowship Theme as Aragorn and co charge the bad guys in the climactic battle outside the black gate.

Quintus 5,399 Posted September 2, 2007 Share Posted September 2, 2007 ^ Seconded. I already have a decent mp3 of the Charge of The Rohirrim, but if I didn't it would easily be first on my list. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard Penna 3,686 Posted September 2, 2007 Share Posted September 2, 2007 Oh god, far, far too much. I want the whole score now dammit!However, amongst them are the choral fellowship theme, and there's also a moment in the score documentary on RotK EE where the part in which Gandalf uses that light to blind the nazgul and let Faramir et al, into Minas Tirith, is isolated for a few seconds, and the merge into the soprano works great.Oh and indy4 - both of the cues you mentioned are already available sfx free from the videogame rips.

That culmination of the Ring theme they mentioned on the FSM podcast when Frodo is about to drop the Ring in the fire that was eventually dropped from the film sounded really interesting!

John Crichton 4 Posted September 2, 2007 Share Posted September 2, 2007 The whole bloody thing. I haven't bothered with DVD or VG rips for this score and only watch the movie once in a great while, so I'm not very familiar with the unreleased cues and am hoping for some great discoveries.

Trent B 337 Posted September 2, 2007 Share Posted September 2, 2007 The whole bloody thing.Indeed.I'm sure most of you have read Doug Adam's update...but incase you haven't...Hi everyone,Bullet points!--Packaging and liner notes mock-ups now back from Warner / Smog Design… oh, and front cover sticker, too! Looks beautiful. Now editing. You should be green with envy.--Track titles officially finalized.--Don’t know when the press release will be, but I’ll again stress we’re currently on a timeline that looks a great deal like last year’s. Take that as you will, armchair detectives of the net.--Book / rarities discs on target for 2008… as of right now. I’d be surprised to see that change. Just pointing this out for those of you budgeting… ROTK will be released by itself this year. Hope this helps you plan accordingly. I don’t know the price tag, and I likely won’t until you do. Maybe Santa can help you out with all the above.More later, eyeball-deep in work! Enjoy your embedded hints. -Doug Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 10,265 Posted September 2, 2007 Share Posted September 2, 2007 So there's gonna be a rarities disc released with the book, sometime next year? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr. Breathmask 555 Posted September 2, 2007 Share Posted September 2, 2007 I can't descern though if the rarities will be available seperately, or if they're attached to the book. I'm not sure if I'll be buying the book, but I think I will if it comes with the rarities disc(s). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 10,265 Posted September 2, 2007 Share Posted September 2, 2007 I doubt that a rarities disc would really sell on it's own. But it would make people interested in buying the book. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Breathmask 555 Posted September 2, 2007 Share Posted September 2, 2007 You're right. The book sounds interesting, but I'm not sure I'd go out and buy it right now.But if it comes with these rarities, I will. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 10,265 Posted September 2, 2007 Share Posted September 2, 2007 You see, a piece of marketing genius.....If the booklets are any indication, you'll have to have studied musical theory to be able to actually read the book.

Luke Skywalker 1,795 Posted September 2, 2007 Share Posted September 2, 2007 Those rarities disc(s) have to be exclusive of the book, since most of the book is already in the sets notes and the PDF files from the offical site, right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Breathmask 555 Posted September 2, 2007 Share Posted September 2, 2007 I doubt that. I expect there to be a lot of stuff in the book that wasn't even touched upon in the liner notes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Crichton 4 Posted September 2, 2007 Share Posted September 2, 2007 Ah yes, forgot about that. I'd be nice if that got a CD release as well, I'd be much more interested in that than a bunch of alternate cues. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Breathmask 555 Posted September 2, 2007 Share Posted September 2, 2007 I expect that it will also cover the creation of the symphony.That, the creation of the score, collaboration with the director, more unused concepts and details on alternates, etc. etc.There's plenty more to be told...As for the symphony, it might be nice if it's released, but what more is it really than highlights from the OSTs strung together?

#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 10,265 Posted September 2, 2007 Share Posted September 2, 2007 Indeed!Having said this.

Mr. Breathmask 555 Posted September 2, 2007 Share Posted September 2, 2007 I've listened to the RotK album probably once or maybe twice since the TTT CR came out.I've purposely not bothered with any of the video game rips.
