KK 3,307 Posted October 24, 2013 Share Posted October 24, 2013 Again, I pity the Horse.He must be sick of all this fanboy speculation and misgivings. And frankly, having participated in it, I'm getting a bit sick of it all together. How about we whine and moan after the score is released? If it really turns out poorly, we can always blame Pope Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Incanus 5,765 Posted October 24, 2013 Share Posted October 24, 2013 Oh I have nothing to worry about. Howard Shore's The Hobbit: Desolation of Smaug is going to be a great score! At the moment I am more intrigued by the releases. Will there be 2 versions, Regular and Special edition, and will they be both 2 disc releases like last year? We know there will be a double LP coming out as well (or so it says on the Amazon). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tannhauser 101 Posted October 24, 2013 Share Posted October 24, 2013 I wasn't reassured by what Doug said, because what he said was obvious. I really cannot understand the concern and speculation of people on here. I have every confidence that this score will be sublime, as good if not better than the first installment, which to me was a masterpiece, both the early version as heard on album and the later version heard in the film. I'm also intrigued to see how they handle the release this time, both in content and quality. Hopefully a press release will be imminent from WT as well as the big reveal of the end credits singer!

Bilbo 3,730 Posted October 24, 2013 Share Posted October 24, 2013 I predict that the standard release will be 1 CD* and the special edition will be 2 CDs. The standard will be similar to the LORT OSTs and the special edition to match last years. At least, that's how it currently looks to me.*if it's a double LP then that sounds about right. 2 LPs is about a CDs worth of music. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is just a piece of minute Williams trivia that has passed him by. Apparently John Williams hurt his back while scoring Jurassic Park and Artie Kane had to step in and conduct a good portion of the score for him.

Once 641 Posted October 25, 2013 Share Posted October 25, 2013 From Conrad Pope's facebook:C'est fini. The party's over. It's a wrap. One more day with an Abbey Road remote and it's home!And from the comments:I'm presently in Wellington, New Zealand with the New Zealand Symphony Orchestra ( the folks I finished conducting a score with this evening). We'll go to the the studio's remote facility and via a satellite hook-up record musicians/singers at Abbey Road ( under the supervision of the assembled music team for this picture in NZ) and then I'll return home to L.A.

Barnald 391 Posted October 25, 2013 Share Posted October 25, 2013 No it is the head-throwing bit. I always think Azog looks better in the flashback, a more natural colour rather than the bluey/white hue he takes on in the current timeline.It was a pic from Empire's article with Manu Bennett from a few months ago.

Sharkissimo 1,974 Posted October 25, 2013 Share Posted October 25, 2013 I don't think Azog looked threatening in either timeline. The only decent thing about his character is Howard Shore's motif and those bass trombone pedal tones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gkgyver 1,647 Posted October 25, 2013 Author Share Posted October 25, 2013 I still wonder why Pope. Or more precisely, why no Shore. If he really is "locked up" somewhere nice, so he can write music in peace, and follows the sessions via oversea webcam, I would say it's probably not a bad thing for creativity. I still have my doubts though how precisely you can communicate performance-wise over webcam through a conductor to an orchestra.By the way, that "Music composed by Howard Shore" credit does indeed look somewhat lonely and sad.

Incanus 5,765 Posted October 26, 2013 Share Posted October 26, 2013 Yeah I also like the colour scheme.Now there is also a bigger difference (probably) between the OST and the Special Edition since the OST is only 1 disc. I am intrigued do we have to double dip to get all the music, meaning does the OST this time around contain something the SE does not.And hopefully there will be another set of informative liner notes coming our way with these releases. With some choral lyrics perhaps? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KK 3,307 Posted October 26, 2013 Share Posted October 26, 2013 Is the OST only 1 disc? That's a surprise, but understandable.The purple colour scheme really suits this design and adds a touch of elegance to it.

Hopefully you won't end up with those cheap cardboard covers again Yes I checked Amazon (both US and UK) and they list only 1 disc for the regular OST.And yes I am hoping Europe will receive a sturdier SE case this time since the previous one feels both flimsy and cheap in comparison with the international one.Amazon UK and US list 10th of December as the release date but neither version is available for order yet.
