Jediking12 1 Posted October 15, 2012 Share Posted October 15, 2012 John Williams and Howard Shore are the same guy. Kinda like Bruce Wayne and Superman.Wait a minute...No wonder I immediately liked the LOTR score No, you fool! It is forbidden to like both Shore's LOTR and Williams music! They are mutually exclusive! Liking one will force the other to delete itself from your iPod and the discs to sell themselves on Half!actually I have both Shore's LOTR and WIlliams's Star Wars, Harry Potter and Indiana Jones on my mp3 and I'm not deleting them so you fail Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jay 37,364 Posted November 1, 2012 Author Share Posted November 1, 2012 It's weird that for the SE version, two of the new tracks are integerated into the flow of the score, while 4 of the new tracks are tacked onto the end. Why do it that way? It's also great that some other tracks get extended. Is it possible the SE version is the entire score (at rather, one version of each cue, obviously there are no alternates) ?

Jay 37,364 Posted November 1, 2012 Author Share Posted November 1, 2012 Other thoughts: The Hill Of Sorcery and Warg-scouts before Rivendell? Mmmm... Doesn't seem there is much of the Necromancer plot in the first film, though. Especially in the second part of the film.There's no guarantee that the OST (either version) is chronological OR complete, or that the tracks ONLY contain music referenced by their titles Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ollie 1,059 Posted November 1, 2012 Share Posted November 1, 2012 Didn't Doug Adams hint that they might be doing something special or different for the release earlier this year?I thought had posted at FSM or Facebook that the Hobbit soundtrack might have a surprise to it.If so, it looks like he was right. Would love to see the track times though.And yes, I'll be buying / pre-ordering ASAP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Incanus 5,714 Posted November 1, 2012 Share Posted November 1, 2012 And about the chronological aspect, it seems that most tracks are in chronological order.Yes it seems so. I concur. It is actually pretty amazing Shore is producing such a large release right off the bat but I am glad my overly optimistic hopes for a double CD full of music came true.

Incanus 5,714 Posted November 1, 2012 Share Posted November 1, 2012 My guess is that the Dwarf Lords is part of the prologue as might be Erebor. If you go by the novel and Tolkien's map, Edge of the Wild might be somewhere around The Trollshaws, Roast Mutton and A Troll Hoard, in any case before Rivendell. A Very Respectable Hobbit is a tough one. I would guess somewhere at the beginning of the film.I am still a bit flabbergasted and more than a little giddy about this release!

alicebrallice 134 Posted November 1, 2012 Share Posted November 1, 2012 On second thought, A Very Respectable Hobbit probably goes right before or after Old Friends. I can feel it.

Incanus 5,714 Posted November 1, 2012 Share Posted November 1, 2012 Well Bilbo is reminiscing a lot about home ("and not for the last time")and reminding people that he is a very respectable Hobbit quite a few times in the novel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Incanus 5,714 Posted November 1, 2012 Share Posted November 1, 2012 As it has been mentioned the price of the score is amazingly cheap. They are selling the regular edition with the price of one CD and the Special Edition is just marginally more expensive and I am certainly not complaining. Shore is really doing his fans a tremendous favour here with both the content and the price. I am sure his good connections to the Water Tower Music through Paul Broucek helped with this big release not to mention his world wide reputation and the mainstream appeal of LotR and most of all the success of his wonderful music.
