What is it with The Last Crusade, that you can hear the Clicktrack in so many cues on the Album????? :lol::D

Listen to "Death of Kazim"!!!

with headphones and listen carefully or with high volume on your stereo!

... like someone forgot to turn of the Metronome while recording!

I remember how I listened the first time to the last Crusade CD in 1989, I was very annoyed by the clicking in "indys first adventure". I always thought that some player was involuntary tapping the rhythm with a foot or so, since the clicking came and went and was mostly present in the more lively, rhythmic passages. Now I realise that it may have been the clicktrack, but why is it not present over the entire cue?

my only guess is, that it was accidently on one Intruments rec channel and it is impossible to filter it out. maybe only in a few takes, BUT exactly those were the best?. maybe this was a technical error they had on that particular day and "First Adventure" and "Death of Kazim" were recorded on the same day.

By the way ..absoluetly amazing how great those pulsing horn notes sound, at the beginning of "To the Blimp".. never noticed that they had so much punch, before! :lol:

Come to think of it, most of the tracks from the LC boot I've had since 2000 or so have a steady click track sound in them, from about Kazim's death to the end of the movie. The OST tracks are clean, but the boot tracks get clicky and sound worse than they should. I had always attributed it to a scratch on the CD manifesting itself in the rip process. Great...

Hey guys!! I have a question to those who already have the set. Is that moment on the CD when the A-section of Raiders March is played by trombone, trumpet, clarinet, and woodswinds in turn? It's right after The Boat Scene, when the university is shown for the first time. I think that change in mood music-wise is VERY impressive! Only John Williams can come up with such an orchestration...

Also, does anyone else find it strange that the tap-dancing sounds are on Anything Goes? I mean, those are sound effects, right? I don't think JW tap-danced himself for that song!

:lol:

nah come on..people at Lucasfilm really do what they want

how often have they released the Star Wars/Indy DVDs? How many Star Wars OT Boxes do we have??

You really think that they will release the Prequel Scores if we are nice and behave and are as cute and soft as a puppy??

In what world do you guys live?

This is a product, I am the costumer - there are flaws that are unbareable for some peoples tastes.. and it is perfectly fine that they say it!

Sony Classical not releasing AOTC because of some mails they recieved???

:lol:

I'm with Esther on this one. Even if they did release an UE of ATOC, all of us would buy it no matter what.

But they don't know that. In the soundtrack industry, the market is fairly niche as it is. What's a record label producer going to say then, when that specific niche sends in reams of hate mail declaring to boycott all future releases? Not release anything else targetted at them, obviously.

BTW, I'm not sure if anyone bothered to conifm whether those unused Lego cues were indeed They Stole The Children [Alternate], but they most definitely are. It begins from the shot of the Village elder, Indy and Shorty leaving the hut and walking towards the Sankara stone's usual resting place, and ends as Shorty climbs the mountain. It matches almost to a tee, but there might have been a few subtle edits here and there. Overall, it gives the scene a drastically different emotional texture, and is a wonderful cue. I can see why Spielberg asked for it to be changed though, and the replacement cue is equally as impressive. Nice to have both, though.

On the original album for LC you can hear the click track on Indy's first Adventure.

No, not for that mess. There's not enough unreleased music from AOTC that would justify buying that disaster of a film mix.

Well any tinkering with an audio track somehow degrades the quality, especially when you start getting into things like pitch correction, and stretching time out/condensing length.

I am tempted to do the same with Marcus is captured/To Berlin myself. I will never understand why these two cues were edited together. I mean, Journey to Austria is an even shorter cue left separate (and LB could well have merged it with the next cue in order, though I am glad he didn't). It's almost like mixing "Into the Catacombs" with the Iskenderun source music :lol: .

Well, admittedly a minor issue and probably easily resolved.

Not that easily, since the first 2 seconds of "To Berlin" are chopped off

does anyone know if the brass fast nazi theme from belly of the steel beast scene is contained in any of these tracks, or if it is unreleased? i did a film version edit and am missing that piece! it is 2:00 into it, when vogler is looking right at indy when he pops his head out of the tank. also, i need the piece at 2:17 into it, which sounds like string plucking. that is all i need to finish it! thanks for the help i really appreciate it, all of you! take care...

chris

Those 2 sections where recorded as inserts. The cues on the box set are William's original intended versions of the cues

One more thing .Is it possible that the previously unreleased part of Indy's Very First Adventure is an alternate ? It seems a bit different than the film/boot version

Friday i guess for me as it according to the record store they will get it on the 14th , almost a week , oh how to survive , i've already watched KOTCS 3 times in the last 2 weeks aswell as TOD and will finish Crusade Again tonight, with the headphones on so i can listen to the music more carefully , RAIDERS doesn't really hold any more surprises for me anymore as i have seen it over 70 times by now [atleast 6 times a year minimum]

I must have the former then. Is there a particular way to tell them apart without hearing them? Is it just higher pitch, or is it also faster (meaning shorter track times)?

Just got my confirmation from Amazon. I went with the free super saver shipping option, and they estimate arrival via USPS on Nov 15th, a Saturday. As I'm having it shipped to work (shhhhh!), I'm hoping it arrives at least a day earlier which my other free shipping purchases have lately, as we are closed on Saturdays and Sundays. But with my luckI probably won't see mine til Nov 17th. :(

Just out of curiosity, does anyone know what the price is for Amazon.com's mp3 downloads version of the set? I don't see a price on the page.

I had briefly warmed up to the idea of adding a few DVD rips into the mix (Like a True Believer) , but I am reverting to adding those in my "Indiana Jones (Still Unreleased)" itunes album.

So here's the only extra cues I will mix with the Concord set:

Desert Chase (DCC)

Marion in the Pit (DCC LP)

The Mummy Cave (Fake Leak)

ToD End Credits (Edit with RPO)

Over the Himalayas (Lego)

-----------------------------

No, it's part of the "To Pankot Palace" cue. Listening to it in film I can see how that choral moment might have been a late addition. If it's only the chorus missing, it's no big loss, and I suspect that what we'll get is unused music intended for that bit, i.e., leading into the percussion.

yeah no but really there''s unreleased music I'm pretty sure when he falls into the lion car in the train sequence. The bootleg doesnt have it, curious if this set actually will but considering the dude behind it botched "E.T. is Dying" I'm sure we'll even get some alternate take for the part where River Phoenix gets the fedora.

scallenger says:

I don't know if I mentioned this anywhere yet, but for those who want the missing TOD bridge percussion, how are you guys going to go about editing it? I have the LEGO game files that feature the missing percussion, but most of it has too many bird chirps and jungle sounds for my tastes. The DVD rip of this section is actually devoid of any SFX and is pretty clear. The only thing the LEGO files have over it really is clarity of sound of course.

But either way you go about it, can it be made stand alone? I pretty much plan on just using the DVD rip, but the ending of the percussion leads right into the climax music (which is on the Concord release). I don't really want to edit it into it though. Any ideas?

--------------

Schookbaer says:

yes...

it is only one sample without the birdshieps... you must mix this with the clean beginning into the

DVD rip about 34,07 sec.

It works fine for me...

--------------

Jamesyboy says:

Regarding the The Rope Bridge...I don't know if anyone has noticed or not, but the Lego cue is not the full track...it's looped or something. Comparing it to the DVD rip, at about the the 58 sec mark (from when the rope bridge percussion starts), a small anvil, then shakers are introduced. Also, the timpani's have a constant roll, dip thing going. The the Lego rip has none of that (unless there is a rip that I don't have with it all on there).

Finally, my 2 cent's to this massive thread.

James - SOOOOOO looking forward to this set.

That's the way I feel, too. I got 99 problems, and an Indy boxset ain't one.

Still, I did order it.

One thing I wanted to ask, and it's something that bugged me a bit. We've all waited for so long for this, why would any of you check out the "leaked" version? And why would you even listen to sound clips? Getting all worked up over minor discrepancies changed nothing. This just might be the last big release from JW, don't you want to savor it?

I'm contemplating not even opening mine until Christmas, despite Mark's now-canonical declaration that this boxset was "more important than Christmas!" : )

Self discipline is for children who have to wait for Christmas for presents. Adults have these really cool priviledges like getting everything right now and here and no self discipline.

--------------

Kevin McCallister says:

Okay, here goes:

--"Indy Rides the Statue" is indeed the film version of the track as it's been widely reported now. Excellent usage of the swinging motif from "In the Idol's Temple."

--As we all know by now, "Desert Chase" is edited and contains brief edits at 0:23, 1:36 (very short, the next cue just cuts in quicker), 2:08, 4:34, 4:46, 5:03, 5:20, and 5:39. And I hate to say it, but some of these edits are VERY jarring.

--Unlike the DCC, "The Medallion" and "Miracle of the Ark" have clean openings, while the cues that precede them, "Journey to Nepal" and "Indy Follows the Ark," have clean endings.

-- "The Nightclub Brawl" does NOT include any of the big band statements of "Anything Goes." It appears that this was overlaid as source music.

--"Map/Out of Fuel" does include the alternative movement of the "Map" segment, as others have pointed out. Whether or not this is a full fledged alternate or simply the film version without the required insert appears unknown.

--"Trek to Pankot Palace" is complete, but seems to have the same issue as "Map/Out of Fuel"; it's either an alternate, or there was a new insert recorded for the segment where Indy walks up to the statue; here, it's scored differently and does not featur

--If you listen closely to the start of "Broken Bridge/British Relief" you can hear the very last note of the "Bridge" music. This may mean that the two tracks were recorded together. "Indy is Alive" is included on the track.

--"Return to the Village" plays exactly as heard in the film, right up to where the credits roll. The 0:26 which feature the Raiders March and the Short Round counterpoint remains unreleased.

--The End Credits on Disc 2 for TOD are exactly like the OST's.

--There are lots of cool unused bits of TOD music in some of the tracks, which I will not spoil (though I will say that a certain liquid track has some of the most interesting unused bits).

--Oddly enough, the "Raiders March" at the start of Disc 5 lacks the "coda" which we had on the DCC (it is included in the End Credits track on disc 1). This begs the question: "Why include this track at all?" With the coda now on the end credits, it's ba

--The edit from "Marcus is Captured" into "To Berlin" isn't bad, but we completely lose the opening note of "To Berlin." Kinda disappointing; why did they have to be combined?

That's about the gist of the controversies (I hope).

Despite some of my criticisms of the presentation of the set, I'm really quite pleased with it. There's a LOT of GREAT music here, and it's been an absolute joy to hear it for the first time like this. I think you'll all be pleasantly surprised with the set once you get it. The sound quality is terrific (TLC, especially if you've been stuck listening to the crappy bootleg for years, is almost a revelation in how great it sounds) and the new music is fantastic (Short Round Helps, my most anticipated track, delivers in spades!).

Make no mistake; it's a great time to be a Williams fan and an even better time to be an Indiana Jones fan. Enjoy!

This begs the question: "Why include this track at all?" With the coda now on the end credits, it's basically recycled music. It's also edited differently than the DCC; it's the same up until 1:42, than it cuts BACK to what we hear at 5:29 in the end credits on disc 1, then plays out all the way to the ending, without the coda. Sure, it's a great opening, but someone really dropped the ball editing this.

What about the creepy 'jungle' moaning sounds (hard to explain) that overlay the percussion? Maybe that's SFX and not music.

Also, how is the sound quality of the old Crusade tracks? Has there been a noticeable improvement over the OST? This is the biggest selling point for me..

Maxxie says:

--"Indy Rides the Statue" is indeed the film version of the track as it's been widely reported now. Excellent usage of the swinging motif from "In the Idol's Temple."

Sounds good.

--As we all know by now, "Desert Chase" is edited and contains brief edits at 0:23, 1:36 (very short, the next cue just cuts in quicker), 2:08, 4:34, 4:46, 5:03, 5:20, and 5:39. And I hate to say it, but some of these edits are VERY jarring.

Ridiculous decision, especially since the full cue would've fit on the CD. :rolleyes: At least you can get the cue from the DCC release, but I feel sorry for the poor people who can't get hold of a copy.

--Unlike the DCC, "The Medallion" and "Miracle of the Ark" have clean openings, while the cues that precede them, "Journey to Nepal" and "Indy Follows the Ark," have clean endings.

I can't remember these cues on the DCC, but they sound good.

-- "The Nightclub Brawl" does NOT include any of the big band statements of "Anything Goes." It appears that this was overlaid as source music.

Big disappointment (for me anyway). :angry: Presumably the rest of this cue is the same as the film?

--"Map/Out of Fuel" does include the alternative movement of the "Map" segment, as others have pointed out. Whether or not this is a full fledged alternate or simply the film version without the required insert appears unknown.

Interesting. At least we have the film cue from other sources (and it's just as well). This track sounds nice, I will be interested to hear it. : )

--"Indy and the Villagers" contains essentially one and a half tracks. It contains "A Plea for Help" and the first 1:25 of what we've been led to believe is "They Stole Their Children." The track basically ends after Indy has said, "They Stole Their Child

I don't know much about these tracks so I can't say much. No big deal for me.

--"Trek to Pankot Palace" is complete, but seems to have the same issue as "Map/Out of Fuel"; it's either an alternate, or there was a new insert recorded for the segment where Indy walks up to the statue; here, it's scored differently and does not featur

Hmmmm. I'm not too familiar with this track, so I probably wouldn't know any different anyway.

--If you listen closely to the start of "Broken Bridge/British Relief" you can hear the very last note of the "Bridge" music. This may mean that the two tracks were recorded together. "Indy is Alive" is included on the track.

As previously said, this is lousy. We could've easily had the full bridge confrontation here. I would've thought that the bridge percussion and the broken bridge were recorded seperately though? Nice to see Indy is alive on the end. How does this track finish? In the movie it overlaps with the beginning of "Return To The Village".

--"Return to the Village" plays exactly as heard in the film, right up to where the credits roll. The 0:26 which features the Raiders March and the Short Round counterpoint remains unreleased.

Half of this is most pleasing, but it must have been harder for them to edit the 0:26 seconds out than to just leave it in, especially since there was/is room for it! :rolleyes:

--The End Credits on Disc 2 for TOD are exactly like the OST's.

:rolleyes: Oh well, maybe one day. But why repeat the same music twice? What a waste of space.......

--You will find yourself musically frustrated with the isolation of some of the tracks as opposed to them being combined (the biggest offender being "Map/Out of Fuel" and "Slalom at Mt. Humol," yikes).

This sounds worrying........

--Oddly enough, the "Raiders March" at the start of Disc 5 lacks the "coda" which we had on the DCC (it is included in the End Credits track on disc 1). This begs the question: "Why include this track at all?" With the coda now on the end credits, it's ba

This should make for an interesting listen!

--The edit from "Marcus is Captured" into "To Berlin" isn't bad, but we completely lose the opening note of "To Berlin." Kinda disappointing; why did they have to be combined?

What's the point? Again, another glaring error!

Despite some of my criticisms of the presentation of the set, I'm really quite pleased with it. There's a LOT of GREAT music here, and it's been an absolute joy to hear it for the first time like this. I think you'll all be pleasantly surprised with the set once you get it. The sound quality is terrific (TLC, especially if you've been stuck listening to the crappy bootleg for years, is almost a revelation in how great it sounds) and the new music is fantastic ("Short Round Helps," my most anticipated track, delivers in spades!).

Yeah, even after all that moaning I still can't wait to hear it. I'd rather have expanded versions that don't quite hit the mark than not have them at all! : D

richuk says:

From everything I've read, the set sounds pretty damn good. I've heard some clips of unreleased material and they sound great. I'm very thankful we're getting this set.

Howeverrrrr.... my gripes remain as follows:

Desert Chase edits - I didn't realise there were more than one edit. For a set that's supposed to be expanding on these great scores and presenting them in a definitive light, I find this an unacceptable choice to be honest - there's room on the disk, and we as fans should not have to go looking for other releases to get the full version of this that has been put on past albums.

Bridge Percussion - there's room on the disk, it was apparently recorded with the cue that follows it, and it's a great build-up to the sequence.

Temple End Credits - I'm not as worked up about this as some people, but if it gets to a set like this, with no space issues at all, and they still cannot give us the whole thing without having to use additional sources, they've messed up.

I'll say it again - I'm very, very thankful for this set. The improved sound quality, and the fact that there are no major omissions is excellent, but it does still remain that Laurent/whoever compiled it made some stupid decisions, and didn't even try to give us as much music as capacity allowed.

--------------

MattyO says:

Obviously some baffling choices have been made on the part of Bourzerou and Williams, however until recently I was blissfully unaware of any discrepancies on the ET 20th Anniversary album. The problem is that now I'm a member of this website all the issues come front and centre so much that I cannot escape them. Upon first listening I will try and block out all my previous memories of this music and just listen to it like someone who has never heard the music away from the films...

I reckon I'll make it to Track 16 of Disc 1 and then this method will go out the window. I am now practically unable to listen to the edited/OST version of The Jungle Chase and I have tried to steer clear of the DCC Desert Chase to erase it from my memory, but every time it comes up on my iPod I simply cannot skip it. Damn those opening trombone bursts!

crumbs says:

There's FLACs of the DCC Desert Chase out there, in perfect, crisp quality. Come on guys, as if anyone is going to go to the trouble of putting these new CDs in their CD players to listen to the music. Everyone is going to rip them or burn them to another CD, to keep them in pristine quality.

And it is NOT hard to make playlists nowadays that come from multiple sources, so the whole Desert Chase thing is a non-issue for me. Frankly, I'm 100% content with Raiders. It's only Temple and Doom that I'd lose a bit of sleep over, but we do have the Lego rips to keep us satisfied.

Maybe I'm wrong, but I think we can only benefit from two tracks of the Lego rip: the map scene and the bridge percussion...

The KOTCS cues have polished up very nicely with a bit of work. I'd love to do some work on the Lego cues, and also inserting some more unreleased bits from Temple into an Expanded Expanded CD. Someone would need to supply me with uncompressed NTSC DVD audio rips though... then again, we could just wait for Blu-ray or the inevitable isolated Blu-ray scores.

--------------

crumbs says:

But I'd love to make End Credits complete, insert the alternate into 'Fast Streets of Shanghai', cut 'Map' film version into the 'Map/Out of Fuel' cue, and try to salvage the bridge percussion somehow.

And also tack 'They Stole the Children' to the end of 'Indy and The Villagers', and 'The Village' onto the end of 'Slalom on Mt. Humol'. And depending on how annoying the clean ends/opens of all the cues are, probably combine a couple of those, too.

I have the complete Bridge Percussion (or "Bridge Confrontation" as I've named it) cue and it's completely clean and good quality.

The only problem is that it doesn't have a clean ending, and it would have to be mixed into "The Broken Bridge/British Relief" from the Concord set.

I'm not sure what the film version is, but as to the alternate from the Lego game:

QUOTE TD PANKOTSECRETS A QUI/TD PANKOTSECRETS B QUI -- This is a huge find: an ALTERNATE version of "They Stole The Children", with MUCH greater emphasis on the Sankara Stones theme. In fact, this is a lengthier, more developed treatment of this theme than actually appears in the finished film! The merged file is 3:22, and sounds like a continuous recording. Again, an absolutely extraordinary find!

Maurizio Caschetto says:

I'm enormously grateful to have more Indy music finally released and widely available. It's a blessing for us and for all the lovers of great film music.

That being said, I think it's fair to notice that the product seems to follow the recent Lucasfilm marketing philosophy of "give 'em what they want, but in the cheapest possible way". However, I don't want to bash Concord and Bouzereau for some of the odd choices they made in compiling this boxset. I'm sure they did all they were able to do with the resources available, also considering they had to get the approval stamp from many of the people involved.

I find very strange that Lucasfilm marketing department continues to underestimate the importance and the real core value of their immensely successful properties, in this case the music which helped a lot these films to become the hugely pop culture items they are.

In the (little) world of soundtrack collecting, we have seen lots of releases treated with the due respect in recent years. New Line, for example, showed great respect and consideration of the musical value of their Lord of the Rings property, producing items both aimed to the niche of soundtrack collectors AND the wide audience. It's just a bit sad that LFL marketing and PR honchos continue to take the minimum required effort in taking care of some of the most important asset of their property.

Music isn't just a matter of money or publicity. It's something that deals with art and culture as well.

--------------

king mark says:

I don't think it was the cheapest way possible .The TPM UE was that . Just re-releasing the old OSTs would have been that

I really think Bouzereau is the one who makes odd choices according to his own preferences. Again,the proof is E.T. expanded with alternates, wrong takes and missing cues that would have fit on the c.d. anyways. It's either his personal preference or lack of attention to small detail

--------------

Maurizio Caschetto says:

Of course I was stressing the concept to the limit to explain clearly the sense of my thoughts. I'm sure the boxset isn't produced as a cheap item, but surely it isn't the same caliber of the SW Anthology or the LOTR Complete Recordings.

No, I don't think Laurent Bouzereau is the one to blame. We don't have the insider info about this release, so we can only speculate, but, who knows, maybe at the early stages Bouzereau proposed to LFL a boxset with the complete scores, but someone nixed the idea. They gave him a budget and then he had to work out the best possible presentation with the resources available. In this sense, yes, I think re-use fees were kind of an issue.

Nick Parker says:

If the interview on the Fifth Disk is 20 minutes long, then that means that it is not just an "audio version" of the music featurette found on the 2003 Indiana Jones Trilogy DVD. What if it reveals insight to someof the "odder" choices in assembling this Box Set?

-----------------------------

In this sense, I agree with you. It seems we all have become much more demanding about these things. If this Indy boxset would have been released this way 10 or 15 years ago, we would have only celebrate it without nit-picking anything. I find the abscence of a good booklet with track-by-track analysis the only major omission, more than the still missing music.

However, it all depends on the budget and the resources available. The SW Anthology was produced with a tighter budget in comparison with the superduper Special Edition 2-CD sets.

No, not for that mess. There's not enough unreleased music from AOTC that would justify buying that disaster of a film mix.

I MIGHT buy it again that's MIGHT. I for one would rather them release the intended edition for the Prequels as they are far superior than the hacked up jobs we hear in the film.

QUOTE (Jason LeBlanc @ Nov 9 2008, 01:32 PM) I don't consider "Shanghai 1935" or the "Anything Goes" sections of "Nighclub Brawl" to be source music. In the case of the latter, it was clearly just a case of it was impractical to record both pieces at the same time, so the Anything Goes overdubs were recording separately. I mean, the chorus in "Approaching The Stones" was recorded separate from the rest of the orchestra, but they still properly mixed that back into the cue. The Anything Goes sections of Nightclub brawl (and chorus of "To Pankot Palace") should be there too

-----------------------------

no,what I mean is that it is SOURCE music and not underscore because the band is playing it on stage. .The only statement of Anything Goes that is part of the underscore is the tense one on strings at the end of the cue.

-----------------------------

I think that sequence is a well-done example of a blend between underscore and source music. Of course the "Anything Goes" quotations during the brawl were conceived as the band was playing it, but the absurdity of the situation cross the lines between the two. Williams is clearly playing with sly humor on the conventions of these techniques. It's not that different from the "Swing Swing Swing" sequence in 1941, where the swinging band piece is both source music AND scoring.

Charlie Brigden says:

Maybe someone from JWFan or FSM should request an interview with Bouzereau to see why the choices were made and who made them.

oierem says:

I never understand all the fuss about being source music or not. Some people seem to think that all source music is inconsecuential to the soundtrack.

There's a lot of great "source "cues, such as Cantina Band, which are integral to the soundtrack.

Thug Ceremony is another example of GREAT music and some people don't care for it just because it is source music. Personally, I don't care if the source of the music is on screen or not; I wish I had all music composed by Williams.

Yes. It sounds very good too. In the film, it's very dialed down so we really don't hear it until Indy puts the hat on. A very nice moment. : D

QUOTE (king mark @ Nov 9 2008, 01:53 PM) So should we take the Concord Desert Chase and re-edit in the missing sections from the DCC classics??

-----------------------------

Not unless you an adjust the DCC to match the sound quality of Concord. Plus it would be a pain in the ... to do so.

It's best not to look to films for the end credit suites, as they're often cut down or re-edited. A prime example is STAR TREK: NEMESIS, where a fantastic end credit suite is absolutely butchered in the film.

Yeah I know what you mean there.

TOD End Credits isn't that badly butchered though is it? I know there's the slightly different beginning, the slight change in Short Round/Willies themes and the triumphant and more powerful ending but it still sounds good. I think the ending of the film End Credits is better than the CD. : D

It comes from one of the blurrier sounding sources (pitch/hiss problems in the beginning aside), has a lot of reverb and I just don't think the orchestra quite nails it. But hey, selecting the wrong takes is something we've come to expect from Bouzereau. : P

-----------------------------

I was never really impressed with this cue to begin with. It feels like something Williams threw together at the last minute, especially since we get a repeat of it in the end credits.

Delorean90 says:

The ending of the cue is the real prize.

Mark Olivarez says:

I should say the music leading up to the moment the end credits begin.

For the longest time I thought the cue was just tracked from the end credits.

--------------

Delorean90 says:

Yeah, that's what I meant by the ending.

I was kind of confused on the cue's origins for a while, also. The biggest things that indicated that it wasn't tracked are the bit where Indy speaks with the Shaman and the very end of the cue. Oh, and the Willie's theme section being different.

QUOTE (Jason LeBlanc @ Nov 9 2008, 11:01 AM) Another question for you guys that have the set:

The track "The Scroll / To Pankot Palace".

At around 2:08 ish into the track, does the music kind of end / fade out, before the next part of the track starts (ie, where "The Scroll" ends and "To Pankot Palace" begins). And then, when the music kicks in again, is that where it is different that the film version? Is the end of the track the same as the film, or is the whole second half of the track alternate to the film?

-----------------------------

Here's a breakdown of the track, as it's rather complicated:

0:00-1:20 - "The Scroll," and there is a small fade out.

1:21-1:49 - "Trek to Pankot Palace" begins and plays as it does in the film.

1:50-1:55 - Unused statement of Mola Ram's theme.

1:56-2:02 - Music resumes as it does in the film.

2:03-2:36 - More unused music. Mola Ram's theme appears again.

2:37-2:49 - Music resumes as it is heard in the film.

2:50-3:19 - THIS is where the alternative music kicks in. The percussion rhythm is similar, but different from the film and there is no chorus.

3:20-end - Music resumes as it is heard in the film all the way to the end.

Hope this helps!

I've never heard of her, but clearly she did a good job!

Never heard of her??

She is the one that mastered The Phantom Menace UE, so no wonder why this sound good too.

I think she has also worked in other Williams albums.

TPM UE ? that one sounds fantastic

Also, does anyone else find it strange that the tap-dancing sounds are on Anything Goes? I mean, those are sound effects, right? I don't think JW tap-danced himself for that song!

Tap dancing is musical.

Why are most people moaning about this set, as far as I'm concerned it's been such a long time coming that it's a fantastic addition to my collection.

As for missing pieces of music etc a lot of the stuff "missing" are probably overlays which were added after the scoring sessions were done.

Examples:-

The "Anything goes parts" that aren't in the score were layed over after the original scoring sessions were done. So we are actually getting all the complete recordings as originally planned so for my money I am more than happy with this set.

Also the Keeping up with the Jones's cue has a large portion of music that is unused in the film but was originally planned to be in it.

Just thought i'd throw my opinion in.

A nice bonus cue would have been the orchestral track for "Anything Goes".

Neil

Yep, especially since doing so would not have required more re-use fees

For those who aren't satisfied just hope this sells really well for Concord and 4-5 years down the line Lucasfilm & Concord decide to do a special edition style release for each film and let Michael Matessino & Nick Redman work on them.

:rolleyes:

For me there is no reason not to listen to this with Kate Capshaw's vocals.

So Arvin Sloane's wife did the vocals for Temple of Doom, and Jan from The Office did the vocals for The Rocketeer? Crazy!

Amazon update... Got an email detailing my total savings, specifying that I will receive my additional $3 off since the box's lowest price was $41.99 as we saw. So, yay!

Box still not arrived yet, I don't think our mail has come yet.

Have you already had the chance to have a listen to the rest of the set, Neil, and see if the pitch problem is there as well?

Is it also off on the Mummy Cave cue or the other new cues on the leaked version?

If I understand correctly, the pitch is off to various degrees depending on the cue?

By the way, is it just the speed of the cue, or the actual pitch (i.e. speed & tone)?

That's wacky! The first time Jan showed up on The Office I had to IMDb her since I knew the name but couldn't place it.

One more thing .Is it possible that the previously unreleased part of Indy's Very First Adventure is an alternate ? It seems a bit different than the film/boot version

It does.

I got that same email yesterday, and apparently they got the right price through their system before they charged my credit card on Sunday.

If you have an Amazon account you can login and track your package. Mine hasn't had any updates since Monday, though, when it was still in Springfield MA.

Did you get Super Saver Shipping? I did, and expect to get the box on Friday or Saturday.

I did pick Super Saver Shipping, it estimated delivery on Saturday but based on tracking, last update was Monday night when it left St. Paul, MN. The last item I had ordered I also used Super Saver Shipping and that was delivered the day after it left St. Paul (and it needed to go about an hour further east than my Indy set), so I'm hoping it's today.

I'm still at work, the wife just called to tell me it arrived. It's going to be a long afternoon. Though I asked her to call me if it came, I kind of wished she hadn't. :rolleyes:
