Joe Brausam 216 Posted November 26, 2010 Share Posted November 26, 2010 Well that was out of left field! I'm sure there will be quite a few disappointed people but I'm happy about it, it'll be a nice compliment to the Varese and there were some nice missing passages.STV is the real jewel in this batch...

SF1_freeze 132 Posted November 26, 2010 Share Posted November 26, 2010 Love this release. Home Alone 2 expanded was great too but now we have the complete John Williams Christmas music. I'm especially fond of the Christams Carol Medleys because i never heard someone arrange them better than JW. For example "Christmas at Carnegie Hall" was outstanding and now we get two new orchestral arrangements of "O Holy Night" as well as a new 7 minute+ medley.That are the secret highlights for me although JW didnt compose them he just rearranged ...

Demondm810 399 Posted November 26, 2010 Share Posted November 26, 2010 This is amazing. Honestly, I'm not even upset about not getting Hook! Home Alone is such a surprise! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thor 8,035 Posted November 26, 2010 Share Posted November 26, 2010 I have zero interest in this, but I do play the ol' CBS album now and then, especially in the holidays (as well as the old, original 20th Century Fox album of the sequel). It's a fine concept album. I'm sure this will sell well, though, what with Christmas coming up and everything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 10,360 Posted November 26, 2010 Share Posted November 26, 2010 i think 1 cue is missingNo. One missing cue is when Brody is searching the waters for what he thinks is a body (i think)But there is also material missing from The Big Jolt. It must be very good stuff, because John Williams edited it out for our listening please. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It must be very good stuff, because John Williams edited it out for our listening please. There's also a short (but great) statement of the shark theme from the beginning.

Ollie 1,106 Posted November 26, 2010 Share Posted November 26, 2010 Well there is one more 2 disc set that should be coming from Intrada if everything goes as scheduled. Plus FSM has Poltergeist. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know, my friend... but otherwise Intrada has Dracula, Young Sherlock Holmes or anything by Williams coming, I think I'll stop at least until January. I'll not buy the FSM Poltergeist (the Rhino is fine for me), plus I have to reduce my frills-spending for a while, I have other priorities in the coming weeks--I'm going to live with my girlfriend and we'll have some ugly money-spending to do for our new house, ouch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trent B 340 Posted November 26, 2010 Share Posted November 26, 2010 Steef,I'm surprised you're gonna skip on this.I had contemplated on re-buying the OST in January to since I had to toss the one I had out as it had too many scratches. Now I'm glad I don't have to!It's interesting to see some of the vocal songs on this CD. While it's not Hook it's still a nice welcome to the family. It finally got the release it deserves.Now I can have both Home Alone scores complete and on my shelf.By the way KM we can't order any of these CD's until Tuesday at 1pm PST.

ZackR 95 Posted November 26, 2010 Share Posted November 26, 2010 Wow. I wasn't expecting this AT ALL but I couldn't be happier. I love this score.

Considering there were hardly any pointers to a release right now, how does this new batch make an upcoming Hook *less* likely? If anything, the above quote might actually be an intentional teaser.

scallenger 499 Posted November 26, 2010 Share Posted November 26, 2010 I was thinking the same thing as trentman above... I love the complete score to Home Alone 2, but besides different variation on composition is it much different/better than Home Alone 2? Or is it sort of a matter of preference? Kind of like comparing Sorcerer's Stone to Chamber of Secrets. I'm debating if I should get this one or not, since I do LOVE Home Alone 2, but I love that one's more frentic style throughout.
