Jay 37,370 Posted April 5, 2011 Share Posted April 5, 2011 It's interesting that they found a way to fit the 5 Giacchino and 3 Lennertz scores onto the first 6 discs. Too bad MV didn't post the track listing yetNevermind, I didn't realize some of the Lennertz scores are so short:1 Medal Of Honor (1999, Giacchino) [72:40]2 Underground (2000, Giacchino) [76:39]3 Allied Assault (2002, Giacchino) [17:36]4 Frontline (2002, Giacchino) [79:10]5 Rising Sun (2003, Lennertz) [33:53]6 Pacific Assault (2004, Lennertz) [16:18]7 European Assault (2005, Lennertz) [63:44]8 Airborne (2007, Giacchino) [63:23]Here's my guess:Disc 1: 1 Medal Of Honor (1999, Giacchino) [72:40]Disc 2: 2 Underground (2000, Giacchino) [76:39]Disc 3: 4 Frontline (2002, Giacchino) [79:10]Disc 4: 3 Allied Assault (2002, Giacchino) [17:36] / 5 Rising Sun (2003, Lennertz) [33:53] / 6 Pacific Assault (2004, Lennertz) [16:18] [total 67:47]Disc 5: 7 European Assault (2005, Lennertz) [63:44]Disc 6: 8 Airborne (2007, Giacchino) [63:23] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke Skywalker 1,795 Posted April 5, 2011 Share Posted April 5, 2011 rising sun promo is a full cd, and there was unreleased music i think.so it must be allied, pacific and european assaults in one CD.Jason, will you post the LLL ordering page when they are up? like you did with home alone.I didnt find the home alone one on their site at post 1 pm, and i panicked ....

Jay 37,370 Posted April 5, 2011 Share Posted April 5, 2011 Those timings are how long the mp3s I have are. Are you saying they are wrong?Is your Rising Sun longer than 34 minutes? Is your European Assault less than 63? Otherwise how could you pair it with 2 other scores?I will be at work when the ordering site goes live, but if i am not busy I will be able to post. However, you are aware that you can currently pre-order it RIGHT NOW at this website, right?http://www.darkdel.com/index.htm?c52.htm&1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke Skywalker 1,795 Posted April 5, 2011 Share Posted April 5, 2011 yeah but i prefer to order it on LLL... i'm fed up of buying in a new store each time...Maybe you have european-rising sun names interchanged, because the official rising sun is 60 odd minutes long promo, and european assault i have is arround 30 mins.

Ollie 1,059 Posted April 5, 2011 Share Posted April 5, 2011 You do know that there's more than one Mod/Admin here?

Jay 37,370 Posted April 5, 2011 Share Posted April 5, 2011 My goodness, I was all discombobulated! Here are the correct timings:1 Medal Of Honor (1999, Giacchino) [72:40]2 Underground (2000, Giacchino) [76:39]3 Allied Assault (2002, Giacchino) [17:36]4 Frontline (2002, Giacchino) [79:10]5 Rising Sun (2003, Lennertz) [63:44]6 Pacific Assault (2004, Lennertz) [16:18]7 European Assault (2005, Lennertz) [33:53]8 Airborne (2007, Giacchino) [63:23]So my guess for the LLL set is:Disc 1: 1 Medal Of Honor (1999, Giacchino) [72:40]Disc 2: 2 Underground (2000, Giacchino) [76:39]Disc 3: 4 Frontline (2002, Giacchino) [79:10]Disc 4: 3 Allied Assault (2002, Giacchino) [17:36] / 6 Pacific Assault (2004, Lennertz) [16:18] / 7 European Assault (2005, Lennertz) [33:53] [total 67:47]Disc 5: 5 Rising Sun (2003, Lennertz) [63:44]Disc 6: 8 Airborne (2007, Giacchino) [63:23] Which is the same order MV listed them in his press release Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Koray Savas 2,251 Posted April 5, 2011 Share Posted April 5, 2011 I may not be remembering things correctly, but wasn't there a disc for music not on the original releases?Oh I see you only listed 6 discs. So Disc 7 is MOH (2010) and Disc 8 is the bonus material. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jay 37,370 Posted April 5, 2011 Share Posted April 5, 2011 Right, MV says : "Disc 7 features the score to MOH 2010 as well as bonus material. Disc 8 features Bonus Material from AIRBORNE, RISING SUN and EUROPEAN ASSAULT."I know there's a lot of unreleased Airborne material, as ages ago I downloaded a gamerip that was 90 minutes longI wonder how much unreleased Rising Sun and European Assault material there is Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jay 37,370 Posted April 5, 2011 Share Posted April 5, 2011 I asked MV about the size and if it was similar to the Blue Box, and he said:Yes -- 8 discs housed in two 4-disc clam shells along with a 40 page booklet nestled comfortably next to the shells. Inside the shells you will find a 4 page booklet detailing the track listings for each disc MV Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trent B 337 Posted April 8, 2011 Author Share Posted April 8, 2011 I'm not getting the set because game scores hold little interest to me.

It has the structure and writing of a motion picture, so much so in fact that I don't really understand how music like this works in a game where the player determines actions.

It has the structure and writing of a motion picture, so much so in fact that I don't really understand how music like this works in a game where the player determines actions.I think, overall, game scores are sorely misunderstood. The player determines actions such as when to shoot and duck and such, but FPSs are linear. So once you reach a certain point in the story, the music will change accordingly. The liner notes have extensive notes for each cue about what they represent. Giacchino pretty much scored the idea/setting for each level, and it made the game 50x better than what it would have been. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ollie 1,059 Posted April 8, 2011 Share Posted April 8, 2011 Giacchino's MOH scores, whether you buy the set or not, are better than 90% of most of the film scores since 1999. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wojo 2,453 Posted April 8, 2011 Share Posted April 8, 2011 Dismissing this set based on it being "video game music" would be sad. I can't tell you how many video game scores are in my collection, but I've got so many that I'm tempted to split it out as its own genre, like "Soundtrack: Game" to distinguish from the other soundtracks.Off the top of my head...Star Wars: Dark Forces, KOTOR I & II, The Force Unleashed I & II, some TIE Fighter music, Deus Ex 1 & 2, Dark Void, Star Trek Starfleet Academy & Starfleet Command, The Witcher, Descent, Doom I & II remixes, Super Mario Brothers, some Zelda remixes, Super Meat Boy, Outlaws, The Dig, some Monkey Island and other early LucasArts scores, Morrowind, Oblivion, Indy and the Fate of Atlantis, Indy and the Emperor's Tomb, etc.That being said, I would have to really think hard about buying music to games I haven't played before, even though I have very little Michael G.

Ollie 1,059 Posted April 8, 2011 Share Posted April 8, 2011 It's the same as buying music to movies you've never seen before. I treat a composer the way I do a regular artist. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wojo 2,453 Posted April 8, 2011 Share Posted April 8, 2011 That's where the "thinking hard" part comes into play. Because I do buy many scores to films I've never seen, heard of, or want to see, and a lot from films I never want to see again.I have until Tuesday to make up my mind.

I am still waiting for his score to a live-action motion picture that would impress me. So far I was interested only in his his output from certain MoH games (not all of them) and animated features (Ratatouille being my favourite MG's soundtrack). I don't like most of his Lost scores, Let Me In seriously bored me and Star Trek is a missed opportunity to me. I like Speed Racer, though.
