John Crichton 4 Posted May 21, 2009 Share Posted May 21, 2009 The epic sticker battle is over, and I'm about halfway through the score proper. It sounds good. Not spectacular but it doesn't need to. And the music itself is very enjoyable. The disc is actually made to look like a vinyl record.The booklet is quite thick, with extensive liner notes from Dan Goldwasser, covering Airplane's entire life- from first conception in 1956, through production, the movie's legacy, and the production of this disc. And there's this Neil S. Bulk guy that's credited as an Assistant Editor. I think I know him from somewhere. Wasn't he in Star Trek? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Diego 21 Posted May 21, 2009 Share Posted May 21, 2009 - Airplane!EDIT- Or I would be if I could get this bloody sticker on the top of the case off. Half of it has melded with the jewel case at a molecular level, and the rest insists on coming off in 50 little pieces.A good trick is to carefully take apart the case (the part with the cover) and then you can remove the sticker with no problem at all Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Delorean90 42 Posted May 22, 2009 Share Posted May 22, 2009 I haven't gotten it yet. I got a confirmation about a week ago (don't remember if it was Friday, Saturday, or Sunday, and I'm just not checking right now). I ordered it with Secret Weapons Over Normandy, but I don't think that should've messed it up too bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wojo 2,453 Posted May 22, 2009 Share Posted May 22, 2009 I think I buy these soundtracks online just so there's something in the mail worth waiting for. It gives me something to look forward to when I get home, besides dinner and bed. It's like having a pen pal that sends you cool stuff, and you don't have to write a letter back.

Jay 37,359 Posted June 5, 2009 Share Posted June 5, 2009 Just listened for the first time. Who knows when my physical copy will arrive, since I ordered it with Mars Attacks!, but I am thankful I got the chance to listen to it now. I liked it, its fun music. I don't like it more than The Great Escape or Stripes, but I think I like it more than Ghostbusters. The female choir in Resolution / Tag is awesome! The bonus tracks are a little much.... Tracks 1-22 are a nice complete listening experience. Everything after that is hit or miss, and sometimes repetitive. Though the alternate version of News was fun What the heck is that percussion at the end of the last track? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davros72 1 Posted June 5, 2009 Share Posted June 5, 2009 What the heck is that percussion at the end of the last track?I believe it's one of the newscasters beating sticks on a hollow log to report the news.

Wojo 2,453 Posted June 5, 2009 Share Posted June 5, 2009 I cracked up the first time I listened to this score and heard the "Panel" cue. Because I knew exactly what that meandering sequence of music was referring to.It seems they play the actual main theme (trumpet line starting 1:02 at of "Main Title") a lot more often in the movie, but I figure it's just tracked music that the score doesn't need to include because it's redundant.

Ollie 1,059 Posted June 5, 2009 Share Posted June 5, 2009 I haven't read my booklet yet, but it does appear the main theme as well as a portion of the landing cue was looped in the film.I normally don't associate the film with the music when I listen to scores but I couldn't quit laughing as I played the disc.

Wojo 2,453 Posted June 5, 2009 Share Posted June 5, 2009 I'm glad the alternate and source cues are separated from the main score, because they'd disrupt it. Besides, the way the source cues are bookended by the real score and the alternates makes them function better as an addendum.I don't even mind the Notre Dame music that much, just because it's Bernstein and it works so well onscreen. That's coming from another die-hard ND hater who loves seeing Regis cry in his Cheerios the Monday after the Irish collapse under the weight of Charlie Weis.

Ollie 1,059 Posted June 5, 2009 Share Posted June 5, 2009 I love the alternate cue for the girl fight but the version used in the film was correct and fit the tone of the film better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
