Joe Brausam 214 Posted April 4, 2011 Share Posted April 4, 2011 OOOOH!! What music is it?Haha, no one knows yet! Fill us in Koray!I had decided to keep my amazon order afterall (it doesn't hurt that I'm only paying $330 for it), it has a delivery date of April 12th, I can hardly wait myself!

Ollie 1,059 Posted April 4, 2011 Author Share Posted April 4, 2011 And here I thought it would keep getting pushed back until June. Well to all those who ordered, I hope you enjoy it.Just don't get upset when more scores from that set start getting individual releases. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trent B 337 Posted April 4, 2011 Share Posted April 4, 2011 Just don't get upset when more scores from that set start getting individual releases. No kidding, I wouldn't be surprised if LLL releases complete or nearly complete versions of some of those scores.I mean they all ready have for Batman and Batman Returns but still...

Koray Savas 2,251 Posted April 4, 2011 Share Posted April 4, 2011 I'm still unboxing everything lol, and emailing myself the pictures.Only disappointment so far is that there's no instruction as to how to set up the zoetrope. When you take the lid off the music starts playing, and inside is a roll of all the images that are supposed to spin around. I haven't read Elfman's 2-page note yet, so maybe there's some explanation there.First pictures:This bitch is huge! Roughly the same size as the ottoman it sits on!

ZackR 95 Posted April 4, 2011 Share Posted April 4, 2011 Awesome. I just love that they put that additional music on the USB key. What a fantastic-looking package too.

Koray Savas 2,251 Posted April 4, 2011 Share Posted April 4, 2011 I have yet to really dig through the book, but I skimmed it and it does indeed look fantastic. The USB is amazing on its own. It's an iTunes just for this box, and it took about 5 minutes to rip everything off it onto my computer. Very useful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Koray Savas 2,251 Posted April 4, 2011 Share Posted April 4, 2011 Ah shit, I forgot to check the bit rate. They're 192, I'm gonna have to go through and rip them all now! Oh well, it'll be fun to look through each CD extensively. In regard to your question about the individual booklets, there are none. They're kind of like mini-LP replicas. Cardboard sleeve with Burton's artwork and track listing, and inside is a folded sheet of paper with the original OST artwork and a note from Elfman with the CD in between. Not the best storage system.You can't rip them straight off the drive. You open up the interface and you can go through and open up each album. There you can choose to save each track individually or conveniently hit the save all button and it'll copy it to a folder of your choice in seconds.

Once 605 Posted April 4, 2011 Share Posted April 4, 2011 That's a shame actually - about the system with the CD's! Are there liner notes or only a note for each album?I guess every story worth telling is included in the book anyway...I like the idea about ripping each CD, it's fun to go through everything as you import it.

Koray Savas 2,251 Posted April 4, 2011 Share Posted April 4, 2011 No, but that's just a compilation of all the main titles, so it's all there. The way I see it, it was a way to tease those who were waiting, and get us Elfman's autograph in the process.And yes, there is a note from Elfman about each score.

fommes 153 Posted April 4, 2011 Share Posted April 4, 2011 Thanks for posting a cleaner tracklist!I like the USB extras, though for me it's a bit too heavy on the demos/worktapes (but I assume other fans must be into this kind of stuff).I do wonder, I thought they were going to put more stuff on that from Sleepy Hollow especially (and also Planet of the Apes) - you know, the cases where they couldn't put much unreleased music on the discs because they original soundtracks already almost filled the CD space - but, comparing them to the two Batman films, I wonder if the relatively low amount of unreleased material points at a more complete release from LaLaLand or another label. I don't see expansions of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, Nightmare before Christmas and Big Fish coming soon, which would fit in with the theory as there's a wealth of unreleased material of those in the box.

Koray Savas 2,251 Posted April 4, 2011 Share Posted April 4, 2011 The difference between these and the LLL releases, is that these have all the demos and worktapes. On Batman, there's a cue called "Herrmann-esque Thing (Worktape)" It'll be great going through and listening to how he developed all of his earlier ideas.

Koray Savas 2,251 Posted April 5, 2011 Share Posted April 5, 2011 My pleasure!I've also just discovered that the MP3s on the Skeleton USB are locked. So they had piracy in mind.

Koray Savas 2,251 Posted April 5, 2011 Share Posted April 5, 2011 It's just DRM. Before iTunes was DRM-free, everything you bought from the Store was "locked." It would literally have a lock on the file image so no one else but you could listen to the music. You can put them on your iPod, but I imagine there's a limit as to how many computers you can save them on or something like that.Like I said, all it does is delay the inevitable. Instead of quickly sending them off to the internet, one would need to rip all the music from the discs and then send it away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
