Indiana Jones: The Soundtracks Collection (official Thread)

[John Crichton 4]

I knew it!

[Luke Skywalker 1,795]

It's all a conspiracy.

Lego and Concord did it on purpose so IJ fans couldn't get a clean rip of music that Concord excluded on purpose. Concord also chose the original takes of some cues because they knew Lego would include the versions fans wanted with noise, thus pissing JWFAN off even more.

That joke has no place here you know.

As i said, The Prequel game encripted the ogg files, some annoying 5 minutes of waiting after an already lenghty installation. That, i'm sure was made in the intent of preventing people rip the game (after what has happened with other games)

Adding background noise to every music sound like it could be made for the same effect. Since usually SFX and music have sepparate files.

And i'ts a Lucas company what we are talking about, yes i find the 'made on purpose' very feasible.

And no it's a conspiracy because Map film version is there for us to enjoy.

[Maxxie 1]

And no it's a conspiracy because Map film version is there for us to enjoy.

Is it not because the cue plays at a particular part in the game that doesn't need SFX?

It's for the TOD map scenes, they could have put engine noise if they wanted.

I meant 'And no, It's not a conspiracy because....'

[Pieter Boelen 740]

I didn't purchase it yet but I BLOODY WELL AM TRYING TO!

Unfortunately Internet purchases are always tricky,

but especially so when you're on a cruiseship and your address is moving around a lot.

Now if I were to order it online and sent to the cruiseship,

I might actually be gone by the time it arrives.

Alternatively, it'd have to be sent off to home,

in which case I need to wait a month before being able to listen to it.

Therefore I would want to buy it in an actual store.

[Nick Parker 3,040]

Hehe, all the avatars on this page of this thread are holidayized except 2

Make that 1!

I will wait until December. It is too early.

[King Mark 3,631]

No,I did not get my box set

Meaning I wasted 10$ getting it from SAE instead of Amazon.ca in a bid to get it faster

[KittBash 282]

No,I did not get my box set

I had to throw almost $20 dollars more then the Amazon.ca price to get it today.

sigh... But it was worth it!

[MattyO 62]

I am yet to receive my box from SAE either, even though it was shipped by them on the 11th. It's strange because I ordered the Superman box, which shipped on the 8th of November and arrived on the 17th, basically a week. I truly hope it hasn't gone missing. This waiting is killing me!

That's what you get for betraying Amazon.

[ManofDestiny 71]

Last night, I back home and opened my set. I listen to the first half of Raider during having dinner and shower (which are very normal and nice activities when listening to the score, compare to some people in the thread). Than I listen to the first track of the TOD, LC and the 5th disc, to check the sound quality. There are some tape hiss in the Raider, I wonder if it is my illusion or phonism.

The sound of TOD is perfect, I don't know how to describe it, it's crystal like, and very clean.

Anyway, I listen to the Raider in the journey to work this morning, and I will listen to the TOD in the returning. The new track "Indy Rides the Statue" is my favorite new track. This action cue is just wonderful. The edited Desert Chase...... to someone who did not know the original full track very well such as me, I didn't notice the edit.

The set is fine, even better then I expect after all. Though it could be even better.

[Nick Parker 3,040]

Alright, people. indy4 was correct: I was sick at the time of listening to "Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom", according to my doctor. That I vomited at the climax of "Approaching the Stones" was a coincidence. Oh, and ManofDestiny: while you are mostly correct about not noticing the edits in "Desert Chase", there is one edit at 4:45 or so that is really obvious.

[Ollie 1,059]

Well that's a relief.

[FattyMcButterpants 1]

I know that phenomenon ... vomiting gets induced by the strangest things.

[ManofDestiny 71]

Oh, and ManofDestiny: while you are mostly correct about not noticing the edits in "Desert Chase", there is one edit at 4:45 or so that is really obvious.

Please......don't tell me that. Now I will notice and can't sleep for that.

I just assumed you were looking at Japanese porn and listen to TOD and got freaky deaky.

[MattyO 62]

Still no luck KM? I went to my post office, they haven't seen it.

Good for you. Now you are probably behaviourally conditioned to vomit every time you listen to ToD or at least Approaching the Stones.

[#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 10,265]

Ok had the set for a few days now.

Good things:

-The sheer amount of previously unreleased music in good quality.

-Presentation, the box set looks neat

Bad things:

-Still incomplete, especially considering there was room for more music.

-The presentation of the set looks nice, but the booklets contain almost only photo's. No insighrs about the production of this set, no interviews.

-The presentation of the music, editing and sequencing-wise is less then it could have been.

-Flaws with the pitch (though I'm as yet not to bothered by it personally, I can fully see how this annoys the better hearing person.

Overall I'm, fairly satisfied, but fully aware that if this set was done by Intrada, we would have gotten something far better.

Even the non-soundtrack label Reprise Records did a far better and comprehensive job releasing the complete LOTR scores, also with input from it's composer.

*** out of *****

[Wojo 2,453]

I was disappointed when I opened my set to find that the orange and white liner notes had been stuck into the box carelessly, so that when I removed it, its front cover was a creased, crinkled mess of paper. A plastic piece for disc 5 to snap into would have been nice, too, instead of a cardboard sleeve, but I may just swap its place with KOTCS, since I've already got it. That would've added, what, 3/8" thickness to the box?

Finally the set is here!

Escape from the Temple Raiders of the Lost Ark

FINALLYYYYY!!!

I have my Indy box set! A friend of mine got it for me at HMV... I canceled my amazon.de order.

I'm giddy as a schoolgirl!

PS Does King Mark have it already? Or am I the last?

[Jay 37,372]

Who, Atilla The Professor? He was never giddy, even when he was a schoolboy...

[Nick Parker 3,040]

To Jessie Lohner:

You should not have said that....

I'm still waiting for amazon.de! I don't know a shop in Austria who could have it earlier -.-

I agree but I give the set a **** out of ***** because of all the unreleased music.

[Jay 37,372]

[Jessie Lohner 0]

Wow, now amazon.de offers it for 51 Euros!

Boy, am I glad I got it elsewhere.

But this box set was done under the supervision of stingy accountants , out of touch marketing executives and lawyers!

[Charlie Brigden 7]

I think it's a little unfair to compare LOTR to Indy. As much as I love Indy and its scores, LOTR had such a wider appeal to the mainstream public.

[Jay 37,372]

The mainstream public is not buying $75 4CD sets of Return of the King music

Which Indy doesn't?

[Ollie 1,059]

Uhh Steef said that, not me.

This was done for Indiana Jones fans, regular soundtrack fans and the public. I told you in the past that if and when something like this was done it would come from a major label and not a soundtrack specialty one like FSM.

So one could expect it to not be as thorough as what Intrada or FSM would do if they had a chance to release it. Plus Nick Redman and Michael Matessino were not involved.

[King Mark 3,631]

I don't think the mainstream public will buy this Indy box either

That will get something started, no doubt.

Excuse me,where are all those Howard Shore fans everyone keeps talking about. Are they the same people that sold out the Transformers soundtrack and buy the TDK 2 c.d. set?

[Ollie 1,059]

Well if you would venture outside of JWFAN you would see plenty of Shore fans. I'm pretty sure these LOTR sets are selling well or else they wouldn't have continued with them.

I don't think the mainstream public will buy this Indy box either

Especially if stores don't carry any copies.

[Charlie Brigden 7]

I'm not talking about Howard Shore, I'm talking about LORD OF THE RINGS. You know, that little trilogy that came along a few years ago?

Don't get me wrong, I love Indy and his music MORE than LOTR. But in the eye of the public... I'm not sure it's the same. I'd like to see sales figures, and it doesn't help that Indy has had a pretty lousy time with some of his OSTs (i.e. DOOM), but considering the smash both the LOTR films and soundtracks were, I think it'd go on LOTR's side. Also, LOTR has had an in-built fan base thirty years before Indiana Jones existed.

Can of worms now open, I guess.

"Relax, John Williams, everything is going to be okay. We will take care of everything."

Sorry, I am just trying to offer an appetizer until artyjeffery makes something far better.

No there is a point to that. At the time LOTR was made Indiana Jones wasn't exactly in the public's eye, plus it had been 12 years since the last IJ film when Fellowship was released.

Now Indiana Jones is back in the public's eye.

Aside from FOTR, i have yet to see the other boxes in stores here. I think there are not many shore fans in spain , and were not the boxes unavailable for some time?

[#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 10,265]

I doubt JW had any direct involvement with this set

I'm pretty sure John Williams had a say regarding the placement of music, and what cues should be included.

John Williams has always had input in the Bouzereau produced releases.

This is the reason why Williams' edit of The Desert Chase was included, or why Alarm! follows Scherzo for Motorcycle. (i'm sure the idea behind that is that they wanted to introduce the theme with the Scherzo itself)

This set reeks of John Williams influences.

[Jay 37,372]

It's a shame they didn't include the cue it was actually introduced in, Elsa's Betrayal

Indiana Jones also has a huge fanbase that should not be underestimasted.

The people at Reprise Records and Shore just realized that there was a market for top-of-the-line, complete and cronological releases for these scores. For some reason Lucasfilm and John Williams don't seem to think exapanded Star Wars or Indiana Jones scores sell well enough to go all out and release them as full-bore 2 CD, contains every note releases.

[Jay 37,372]

I blame Lucasfilm

[#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 10,265]

The lack of liner-notes and abundance of photo's just remind me a lot of the ill-fated TPM: UE.
