KK 3,307 Posted October 29, 2013 Share Posted October 29, 2013 Precisely! But seriously, why would they want to release the whole score online for free? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gkgyver 1,645 Posted October 29, 2013 Author Share Posted October 29, 2013 I always thought releasing the full score online for free a month before the CD released was a stupid PR move anyway. Samples, I understand, but the whole score? I think they were just trying to rebuild the hype for Middle-Earth last year after a 10-year absence. Now that everyone is back in the game, I don't see any reason to release the entire score again.And now that the people they wanted to pull back into the game are pushed away from the game after seeing AUJ, they need to be pulled back into the game again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Incanus 5,715 Posted October 29, 2013 Share Posted October 29, 2013 Precisely! But seriously, why would they want to release the whole score online for free?Some new form of lunacy?Yes that's my point exactly! There are tonnes of lovely quieter moments that aren't necessarily memorable significant moments from seeing the film once but that I'd love to get in the CRs.Huh? That little bit with Bilbo being invisible was a significant moment from the first few times I saw FOTR.That was a fantastic moment that really stood out positively during my first viewing of the film. I remember thinking that it is a shame it was not on the album.I am listening to FotR CR as I type and something like Orthanc, as short a cue as it is, is something I really wanted to have after watching the film for the first time.

Sharkissimo 1,973 Posted October 29, 2013 Share Posted October 29, 2013 Orthanc's a great (relatively) 'minor' cue. Love how it foreshadows the Dwarven fifths in the brass. KK 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gkgyver 1,645 Posted October 29, 2013 Author Share Posted October 29, 2013 Let's put it this way. Whoever authorised the full stream last year should have known about its consequences. I don't see why this year should be different. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bloody love that Fellowship theme statement!It is fantastic! I prefer the EE version but the TE is almost as good. Another favourite of mine is Gilraen's Memorial and that new EE version of the company leaving Rivendell. Those poignant strings as Frodo is stepping out onto the road and the choir that comes after. Such beauty. I am glad Shore included that into the LotR symphony. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jay 37,364 Posted October 31, 2013 Share Posted October 31, 2013 When I was in California, all week long I heard her song "Royals" on the radio at least once an hour. It was played on the local alternative, rock, pop, and rap stations. Crazy. I predict another male singer for DOS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tannhauser 101 Posted October 31, 2013 Share Posted October 31, 2013 On the ee appendices for Journey, Phillipa boyens said they didn't think they'd have a song at all first. Then they thought about a straight reprise of misty mountains, but it was too slow. Then they randomly heard Neil Finn on the radio or something and thought he could do it. So the fact that there's been no announcement this late in the game makes me wonder if there will be one. Or maybe they'll track Gollums song, and The Horse will plead with us that it never really had anything to do with Gollum but was a "Battle for Middle Earth is about to begin" theme Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Barnald 365 Posted October 31, 2013 Share Posted October 31, 2013 It probably is, but I didn't like how it just came out of the blue, and the New Zealand-ness of it all. Perhaps I might have got it had I actually heard of her beforehand.As it is though, it's increasingly looking like no song, especially given what Boyens said. Unless they just play 'Song of the Lonely Mountain' at the end of every film... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smeltington 1,440 Posted October 31, 2013 Share Posted October 31, 2013 Lorde???? Seriously? Wow, she's talented but her music doesn't suggest Middle Earth to me at all. But it's quite possible she could surprise us. She's a lot younger and at a much earlier stage in her career than Enya, Annie Lennox, or Neil Finn, so she might shake things up a bit.
