Datameister 2,042 Posted May 18, 2010 Share Posted May 18, 2010 Mine just arrived! (I was late to the party - don't worry, it didn't take them that long to ship it to me.) I hope to give it a first listen tonight...woo hoo! I hope this score is as good as everyone makes it sound. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Datameister 2,042 Posted May 18, 2010 Share Posted May 18, 2010 Whewee, good stuff! The alternate cues will have to wait till tomorrow - gotta get SOME sleep - but I really enjoyed the score "proper." Definitely glad I bought it, although I don't think I'd be able to call it the best score of the 90s as some have. Maybe that'll only come with a few more listenings.

Wojo 2,453 Posted May 18, 2010 Share Posted May 18, 2010 I have yet to put it onto my iPod. I think I've listened to it three times since buying it, and that was straight through as background music for video games. The b00+ is still enough for me.

Trent B 337 Posted May 18, 2010 Share Posted May 18, 2010 Don't wanna burn myself out.I agree with Mark O on this one. It's never a good idea to burn yourself out on a fun exciting score like Independence Day. I've done it before in the past with other scores but now I'm careful about that.

John Crichton 4 Posted May 18, 2010 Share Posted May 18, 2010 It's gonna take a long time for me to get burned out on this. But I agree, it is something you can do and should watch out for. The fact I hadn't been listening to it much even before the release was announced helps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MSM 126 Posted March 8, 2011 Share Posted March 8, 2011 I just bought this on Amazon. It's really great, not only for the bulk of unreleased material, but also for the extensive liner notes inclusive remarks by David Arnold, and a fantastic lay-out. I mean, isn't this how we want our soundtracks to look like!? Btw Neil S. Bulk is co-producer of this anniversary album. Only 5000 units, get it!

Greg1138 3 Posted March 8, 2011 Share Posted March 8, 2011 Agreed wholeheartedly - brilliant, brilliant release....as usual, there were a few moaners who cried about the structure of one of the pieces (apparently not quite the film version whinge whinge whinge cry whinge), but on the whole it is an excellent release, and sounds superb. And the liner notes are the icing on the cake. Also - doesn't tend to get much attention - but the thought that went into the packaging and the look of the discs themselves.

Trent B 337 Posted December 9, 2011 Share Posted December 9, 2011 And it is an absolute MUST BUY, if you ask me.Agreed! IF you like the OST or even the World Records boot this is definitely a must buy! Hearing all the revised final battle pieces outside of the film is a dream come true. Also at $20 is practically a steal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Incanus 5,714 Posted December 9, 2011 Share Posted December 9, 2011 Yes this is Arnold's magnum opus presented in a stellar style and definitely worth 20 $ investment.

scallenger 483 Posted December 9, 2011 Share Posted December 9, 2011 I'm really surprised it's still in print, since it's been out for over a year. It's an amazing score and an amazing release. It may be missing a couple alternates from the bootleg, but it has every you'd want, honestly. And as mentioned, the film versions of the battle cues at the end (that were never available anywhere) are worth the purchase alone! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And as mentioned, the film versions of the battle cues at the end (that were never available anywhere) are worth the purchase alone!Ya I'm surprised it's still in print too considering it was a holy grail for a lot of us film score fans. Then again it was limited to 5,000 units so at the same time I'm not really surprised it's still around. Die Hard was limited to 3,500 so a lot less and with that one being more of a holy grail than ID-4 it went much quicker.Still though as I said through out the years I've seen A LOT of people requesting this score to be released in full form, especially with the revised final battle cues.To me the revised final battle cues alone what seals the deal on buying this set. Those cues were never with the two boots, the original boot and the World Records boot. Despite my slightly annoyance of a couple of cues having different takes, this set is practically perfect. Those couple of annoyances are minor and most will over look them. This is just a personal preference for myself though regarding those two cues.Not only the revised final battle cues but also couple of the alternate cues that were NEVER with any of the two boots at all. Couple of them were rather interesting to hear.Either way if you love David Arnold and love Independence Day, this is a must buy score. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scallenger 483 Posted December 9, 2011 Share Posted December 9, 2011 I agree with all that you said above, although I'm not too familiar with the two cues and their different takes. I was actually lucky enough to get one of the signed copies of this score. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
avalanche 0 Posted December 9, 2011 Share Posted December 9, 2011 The original release is still pretty widely available, for dirt cheap. That could be a reason why this hasn't yet sold out - just like the reissues of Batman and Batman Returns. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trent B 337 Posted December 9, 2011 Share Posted December 9, 2011 Actually the OST for Independence Day has been OOP for a while. Ya you can download it via mp3 off iTunes and Amazon but the physical CD itself hasn't been around for a few years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
avalanche 0 Posted December 9, 2011 Share Posted December 9, 2011 True, but you can get it used cheaply if necessary. Several record stores around me have had it for $1 even. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crocodile 8,012 Posted December 10, 2011 Share Posted December 10, 2011 In any case, the La-La Land album is much better. Surprising, because it is a heavy and loud score and those often outstay their welcome on 2CD albums (like Cutthroat Island, for example). But this one, for some reason, works better this way. It might be all more gentle material in the middle that makes the difference. And 20 bucks is a real bargain.Karol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unlucky Bastard 7,782 Posted December 10, 2011 Share Posted December 10, 2011 Funny you say that since I'm listening to Cutthroat Island as I type this. Still on the first disc, but I can't get enough of the sheer overpowering orchestral majesty of this score. A quality it shares with Independence Day is that there's never a dull, skippable track.
