JohnnyD 1,224 Posted June 16, 2015 Share Posted June 16, 2015 This is a work from Maestro John Williams...Of course I ordered this! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Josh500 1,615 Posted June 16, 2015 Share Posted June 16, 2015 There is something hauntingly sad and existential about this score... Contains some of the most beautiful and elegant underscores ever written, IMHO.It certainly is among my Top 10 JW scores. Incanus 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Josh500 1,615 Posted June 16, 2015 Share Posted June 16, 2015 I gotta be honest, I'm no audiophile when it comes to this stuff. I never thought the original soundtrack was a muddy mess so many of you do. But to my ears, the new release sounds absolutely great. I've listened with headphones, on my home stereo setup, and in my car and it sounds crystal clear. The Mecha World is particularly amazing Awesome. Can't wait to hear it!

Demondm810 399 Posted June 16, 2015 Share Posted June 16, 2015 Fun fact: The track "Rouge City" on the OST was a mess!For the first part of the track, a portion of "Opening End Credits" (which is already heard on the OST as track #2 "Abandoned In The Woods") is repeated, along with the small portion of the actual "3M7 New Abandoned In The Woods" used! The LLL set of course provides the full original cue, complete with all the music at the beginning for Monica and David in the woods as David starts to release what is happening, as well as a crazy never before heard ending for unknown deleted footage!For the second part, a portion of "The Mecha World" is tracked in to cover the removal of the Strauss quote! The LLL set, of course, provides the complete original untouched recording of "5M5 The Journey To Rouge City", with the full untouched Strauss quote.Ahhhh! You're killing me!Can't wait :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Josh500 1,615 Posted June 16, 2015 Share Posted June 16, 2015 This is such an epic release, I gotta be honest, I'm more excited about this release than about the expanded Hook. Yeah,I said it. crocodile 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jay 37,424 Posted June 16, 2015 Author Share Posted June 16, 2015 The good thing for both Hook and AI was that despite the bootleg for Hook and Oscar Promo for AI, there was still a bunch of never-before-heard music to include in the official expanded release.Good times!

For me, at least.1941 and Empire of the Sun are pretty perfect too, but I agree. Hopefully, beautiful presentations like this one will become more of the norm for Williams expansions.

filmmusic 1,846 Posted June 17, 2015 Share Posted June 17, 2015 Jay, now that you have listened to it, howe about those concert versions of the A.I. theme?Do they have any kind of development with passages not found elsewhere in the soundtrack, or it's theme and repeat(s) with different texture/orchestration?Also, does it explain in the liner notes that part 2 of Journey through the ice is the original cue, and part 1 is the alternate?Why did they choose this labelling?By the way, a fun fact I just learned by a composer who was in one of the sessions.He said that in one of the cues the bassoon player's cellphone rang!

Josh500 1,615 Posted June 17, 2015 Share Posted June 17, 2015 Which are your top 5 cues from the movie?Mine are:1. Abandoned in the Woods 2. David's Arrival3. The Reunion 4. Monica's Plan5.

The Mecha WorldBut like I said many times, the whole score is a masterpiece (almost) on the same level as E.T., Jaws, and Hook.I am so bad at these top 5 thingies. I constantly keep changing my mind as there are far too many great cues in the score.Where Dreams are BornA.I. Theme (Search for the Blue Fairy with soprano soloist)ReunionThe Specialist VisitsMecha WorldBut then again Wearing Perfume, Monica's Plan, David Studies Monica, Hide and Seek, Abandoned In the Woods, Journey Through the Ice, Replicas, What Is Your Wish and many others are brilliant.

Josh500 1,615 Posted June 17, 2015 Share Posted June 17, 2015 Yeah, it's hard, especially when it comes to scores like A.I., which is consistently brilliant from start to finish.But certain cues stick out, imo. Like the heartbreakingly sad English horn solo from David's Arrival... I was so impressed when I heard that for the first time, I was literally blown away. I must have rewatched that scene/listened to that cue hundreds of times by now.And the entire Abandoned in the Woods scene, of course. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
