Thor 7,465 Posted January 8, 2017 Share Posted January 8, 2017 4 hours ago, Stefancos said: You don't believe in variety within the confines of a single theme or melodic idea? On album -- only to a certain extent. In the film, it's different. The score/theme is used interestingly as a sort of "meta"/Godard-ian play with the diegetic and non-diegetic as the theme appears on the car radio, in supermarkets, even hummed by Elliot Gould's character himself. In addition to proper underscore, of course. But on album, I wouldn't say it has much more to offer than what was on the original Varese release.

Bespin 8,480 Posted January 8, 2017 Share Posted January 8, 2017 It's the only "unreleased" JW score I actually own... and I simply love it. I don't like the track order on the Quartet release, but I love my playlist. If you stick on the Varese CD, you miss something. Now I definitely want to see the movie.

Naïve Old Fart 9,498 Posted January 8, 2017 Share Posted January 8, 2017 The idea behind the score is fantastic, and I'm not sure that it's ever been repeated. Can't say much about the CD, though, because I've only got the THE LONG GOODBYE/FITZWILLY twofer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ciarlese 248 Posted January 8, 2017 Share Posted January 8, 2017 I am sorry for you guys who do not appreciate this cd: I love it and listen to it quite often. I found it really nice and showing a different side of Williams' genius. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MainTitle 37 Posted January 19, 2020 Share Posted January 19, 2020 It's a shame that according to Quartet Records own website the soundtrack is still listed as in stock yet as another member posted above has cited, once he went through the check out process he got the disclaimer. Therefore , Quartet should put a note on their website advising customers so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Miguel Andrade 1,260 Posted April 2, 2020 Share Posted April 2, 2020 The tracks on the Varese are the exact same ones present on the Quartet. I don't think there was any additional work done on those when Quartet Records expanded the release. Unfortunatelly, while there are a lot of goodies not present in the film, there are still missing some bits that were indeed used, and some of the edits and medleys presented in the disc truncate some of the cues.

Jurassic Shark 12,030 Posted April 2, 2020 Share Posted April 2, 2020 Any chances of an improved release - has better and more complete sources been found since the Quartet release? I guess nobody here can answer that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Holko 9,499 Posted May 28, 2021 Share Posted May 28, 2021 Just received this. I like the program a lot, I don't think I'll make any changes - maybe add in the TLJ recording if we can get it clean Weird though that the first half, the songs and those better source recordings, feel like the main program, and the rest of the tracks feel like a bonus track medley, a sampler of more variations. Too bad because musically they're not any worse at all, but I guess the sources just are what they are. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post A. A.

Probably a good time to pick up The Long Goodbye if you don't already have it. I finally did! Jay, Raiders of the SoundtrArk and Bespin 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
QuartalHarmony 542 Posted January 8 Share Posted January 8 I was ordering the new Heidi/Jane Eyre and clicked on the John Williams link to see what else they had and added this to the order. Listened to it on the way home and I’m really glad I got it. Sure, it’s the same song, but the variety is easily good enough to stop me getting bored (and I can be dreadfully impatient listening to repetitive music). Gotta love JW’s ‘light’ jazz style. Favourite bit so far? This comes close: Track 18, 1:50 ”Christ, I hate this song” Mark Jay and Datameister 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
