Incanus 5,713 Posted December 5, 2012 Share Posted December 5, 2012 A nice little video! Thanks BloodBoal!And the name in the video is just about as embarrasing as William Shore as he was titled in one concert programme. But that would make a great stage name or a name for a cop series, Howard Stone.I can't wait to delve into the score! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KK 3,307 Posted December 5, 2012 Share Posted December 5, 2012 I loved seeing the trombones going wild and Shore demanding more chaos. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Richard Penna 3,664 Posted December 5, 2012 Share Posted December 5, 2012 Oh that horse bolted when we heard that alternate Plan 9 section in the post-production video. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Incanus 5,713 Posted December 6, 2012 Share Posted December 6, 2012 The video didn't seem synced to the music at all as the whole string section was playing and only the brass was heard. Doesn't change the fact that it was an alternate though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard Penna 3,664 Posted December 6, 2012 Share Posted December 6, 2012 And it's one I think we'll want - the renditions I've heard in the stream have either a brass counterpoint at the end of the first section or switch to strings.I'd love a rendition that just plays it all the way through in brass, with no strange counterpoints - it's purer.Having said that, we haven't heard the SE tracks in full - we don't know it's unreleased yet. Also, the post-prod video came out maybe a few weeks after pick-up sessions were reported - why would they go to the trouble of including a revised cue when they've got the entire score already recorded?

Incanus 5,713 Posted December 6, 2012 Share Posted December 6, 2012 Usually how comforting and accomplished the score is in evoking the LotR continuity and class and one remarked how only the audience and Howard Shore's string section are aware of the significance of the moment when Bilbo finds the Ring.

Incanus 5,713 Posted December 7, 2012 Share Posted December 7, 2012 Impressive GK. And all that from a couple of listens of the Empire Magazine's and Rolling Stones' streams. If my hopes are fulfilled I can finally sit down to a listen of the Special Edition tonight and can contribute to the parsing of the themes and ideas of this score.

That will teach you to shut the fuck up!Oh, and that's very respectful to Doug Adams and all the hard work he put into it.

crocodile 7,973 Posted December 7, 2012 Share Posted December 7, 2012 Well it's just a matter of days now anyway. I bought it off Amazon with the "delivery on the day of release" option. So it should be here on Monday. I'm not overly fussed anyway.

Holland, Belgium, Finland and Sweden seem to have it relesed yesterday. But no speed delivery. If I ordered there, I had it on the same day as the German release anyway.No, I'm not a fanboy ....
