Howard Shore's The Desolation Of Smaug (Hobbit Part 2)

[SafeUnderHill 205]

[The Score Cleaner 8,491]

I don't think the Warg Chase was re-recorded, I think they just dialed out instruments but I dunno.

[SafeUnderHill 205]

[The Score Cleaner 8,491]

Perhaps it was inserts or something.

Or Amazon has noted that there's been an increase in traffic to that product, and they're making it seem as though supplies are running low to lubricate potential buyers' wallets. Sounds devious, I know, but there's a lot to suggest that they do it.

[Jay 43,908]

I am fairly certain the discs haven't even started getting pressed yet, whoever fell for that is not very smart

[Jay 43,908]

Both versions of the OST are up on Amazon US now!

Standard (currently $15.41): http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00FFT182K/jwfancom-20

Special Edition (currently $21.36): http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00FFT1BJ0/jwfancom-20

I just pre-ordered both!

Both prices will go down by the time it actually comes out.

[Jilal 655]

Both CD's qualify for pre-order price guarantee, so that shouldn't be a problem.

[Jay 43,908]

I know.

[gkgyver 1,647]

I just ordered the SE. I can get the regular edition everywhere.

[Incanus 5,882]

I just ordered the SE. I can get the regular edition everywhere.

I think I'll wait for a retailer closer to home to have it in stock before ordering. I don't want to wait 4-8 weeks for it during the holiday season postal rush.

[gkgyver 1,647]

You can have copies of DoS everywhere if you know what I mean.

[crocodile 9,352]

Oh so there are twelve extended pieces and one additional track.

I wonder what the "interactive orchestral sketch signed by composer Howard Shore" is exactly?

[gkgyver 1,647]

Where exactly should one look out for the press release anyway?

None has been issued yet, I think.

Where exactly should one look out for the press release anyway?

I think Mr. Adams will post it on his blog as soon as it is released. Hopefully track lists will become available at the same time and Water Tower Music updates their site with the info on both releases.

[BloodBoal 7,545]

Tomorrow!

[SafeUnderHill 205]

[BloodBoal 7,545]

Last year, we got all the info at the beginning of November, and we're at the beginning of November right now...

[Code 000. Destruct. 0. 4,261]

Ah, last year, when I was still a faceless lurker, without all these cares and responsibilities.

[BloodBoal 7,545]

[crocodile 9,352]

An almost unbearable burden, yes.

Karol

[gkgyver 1,647]

What's up with the different release dates? German amazon has December 6th for both versions, while amazon US shows the 3rd for the regular, and the 10th for the special edition. How come the two are a week apart? Do they count on fans not being able to bear the waiting so they buy the regular and special edition?

Amazon probably haven't got a clue and are just guessing.

[gkgyver 1,647]

Also, apparently someone bought both copies from that ominous seller at amazon UK because it says it's out of stock.

[BloodBoal 7,545]

[gkgyver 1,647]

Then you can surely post the track list. How's Tauriel's theme?

[crocodile 9,352]

I like it. It sounds like something straight out of Salt - with all those synth drum loops and all.

Karol

[Code 000. Destruct. 0. 4,261]

But still replete with feminine verve, I trust.

[gkgyver 1,647]

No Horns of Doom?

[crocodile 9,352]

Not in Tauriel in Nature one, no.

They do appear in the other one, though.

Karol

[gkgyver 1,647]

You mean Tauriel (in Company)?

[crocodile 9,352]

Oh yes, that's the one. And in Tauriel's Farewells too.

Karol

[KK 3,310]

I thought Shore was using the Horns of Doom for Tauriel and Kili

Bonus track: Azog's Groove (DJ Tiesto Edit Club Mix)

No Junkie XL remix?

[gkgyver 1,647]

I assume the Tiesto remix is at least 10 minutes long?

[BloodBoal 7,545]

[gkgyver 1,647]

I assume Doug explains the intricate connection between the remix and The King Of The Wooden Hall?

Fingers crossed Tiesto will score the Battle of Five Armies.

[gkgyver 1,647]

So, press release anyone?

[BloodBoal 7,545]

[gkgyver 1,647]

Says Tauriel.
