Jay 37,281 Posted January 6, 2023 Share Posted January 6, 2023 The Jaws re-recording is interesting because they performed some instrument lines that Williams had written into the sheet music, but decided to tacet out when performing the original score Bespin 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I always wondered, why would I listen to that re-recording of I have the DECCA complete score presentation from 2000? There I just heavily miss the OST arrangements. But they are as well Not available on the re-recording. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jay 37,281 Posted January 6, 2023 Share Posted January 6, 2023 I mean, that ancient Decca release contains the original film tracks improperly converted from the split-mono tapes to a fake stereo by downmixing the 5.1 versions they created for the re-issue of the film, and it was never a high quality recording in the first place and the tapes had already began to deteriorate after 25 years. The 2015 Intrada version of the material on those tapes that Mike Matessino remixed directly from the original split-mono to a new "stereo" version sound loads better than that old cashgrab release Anyways, the McNeely re-recording has completely different microphone placement and recording quality, and a consistent sound from start to end, on top of being a different performance by different musicians with different tempos and some different instrument lines at times But yea, they should have recorded all the unique album extensions as bonus tracks, too - there was plenty of room for them all!

GerateWohl 4,326 Posted January 6, 2023 Share Posted January 6, 2023 By the way, the Midway score is great. Never was a fan of the Midway March, but the whole score and especially the use of the Men of the Yorktown March is wonderful. Really refreshing to hear some Williams 70s/80s adventure music, that I am not so familiar with. Andy and Bespin 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Richard Penna 3,669 Posted January 13, 2023 Share Posted January 13, 2023 Akinola's tenure is complete. I also have about 5 albums on my 'to buy' list, which is usually not a good idea. Oddly, while digital was by far the cheaper way to buy the Flux score, the CD was cheaper to buy for the final specials release. And on a different topic, I got this for Christmas. I've somehow gone from being rather indifferent to their latest to actually enjoying it more consistently than their other albums. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
