Faleel 5,340 Posted November 13, 2014 Share Posted November 13, 2014 Alpha comes to berk is also a film edit.Challenging the Alpha (Two New Alphas on the OST) is unmicroedited.Hiccup's Gonna Be Chief is a film edit.Eret Has Visitors is a film edit but it also has a slightly longer silence.

scallenger 481 Posted November 13, 2014 Share Posted November 13, 2014 I LOVE the piano version of the theme in "Can We Start Over". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Faleel 5,340 Posted November 17, 2014 Share Posted November 17, 2014 Sounds like "Facial Hair" has some of the cue dialed out like in the film, you can hear an echo of music right before the Astrid them bit comes in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muad'Dib 1,801 Posted December 12, 2014 Share Posted December 12, 2014 I just watched the film a couple of days ago (still brilliant in my opinion, I liked it even better than before) and I noticed that what I thought was a choir mixing mistake on "Hiccup and Toothless Attacked" is actually how it's on the film, so I guess it wasn't a mistake after all. It could be that's how they decided to go after it was recorded or it was Powell's original intention all along but decided to "join" the choirs for the album version to make it a more pleasant listening experience.The version we have on the FYC is what makes the scene and makes it so chilling. It's fantastic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Muad'Dib 1,801 Posted December 12, 2014 Share Posted December 12, 2014 You're right, it has a very soft accordion of sorts. I like the choir only version better, if only because in my head it fits better to the scene. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Muad'Dib 1,801 Posted February 15, 2015 Share Posted February 15, 2015 There's this great documentary about the movie and around the 43 minute mark there's a little feature about the music and it's actually pretty cool, the whole thing is quite interesting to watch, but in particular I liked the music segment best for the Powell-Jonsi scenes jamming together in John's studio and I also I didn't knew that now Powell records the orchestra all together. In the previous Dragon score, the sections were recorded separately: Woodwinds in one session, brasses in other, strings, in other an so on... I wonder if that's why the sequel score feels a lot more organic. Anyways, the documentary:http://www.dwaawards.com/video/ Incanus 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miz 139 Posted January 30, 2017 Share Posted January 30, 2017 I'm currently relishing the Deluxe Edition of How to Train Your Dragon 2. I'm no audiophile but it seems the recording or mixing is a little different - I can only say that because I'm so familiar with some tracks (take the end Toothless Found, for example). Can anyone confirm this, and the reasons for it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is only one official soundtrack release for HTTYD 2: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00JLKHTCW So, what you're listening to is a bootleg, and I'm not surprised the sound is different...

A. A. Ron 1,738 Posted January 31, 2017 Share Posted January 31, 2017 Both Dragon scores have academy promos that sound much better than the brickwalled official albums. 3 hours ago, Richard Penna said: You didn't buy this 'Deluxe Edition' did you Miz? I doubt he did. There's a "deluxe edition" fan edit that recently turned up on that forum though. Never checked it out myself as I'm actually really happy with my own edit.

Miz 139 Posted January 31, 2017 Share Posted January 31, 2017 DL-ST.net, if y'interested. This Deluxe Edition is a great edition, lots of alternates, good sound quality. I think it's an academy promo that somebody mentioned. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Powell sound like orchestral RCP to me I'm sorry, but I couldn't disagree more. It sounds more like you want it to sound like that. I'm re-discovering these scores because of the Art of the Score podcast and as far as I'm concerned they're masterpieces. Better than twat JW has been up to since 2017.

Outside of a few highlights (e.g., "Forbidden Friendship"), though, I don't think it wears very well. A classic that will go down in history as one of THE GREATEST SCORES OF ALL-TIME! Sheesh!

bollemanneke 3,337 Posted September 7, 2020 Share Posted September 7, 2020 I don't know about classic, though. The second one is even better, IMO. But yeah, how anyone can find this bad is beyond me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Love the score, not the film. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
