Gruesome Son of a Bitch 6,488 Posted June 20, 2015 Share Posted June 20, 2015 The Abandoned in the Woods extended version AKA film version on Disc 1 is so much better than the versions on the album. Same goes for Finding the Blue Fairy.I like having The Moon Rising without that weirdo electronic part.The traditionally hissy Replicas was the first track I checked in regards to the sound mix, and it seems to be a serious improvement over the previous CDs.

Gruesome Son of a Bitch 6,488 Posted June 20, 2015 Share Posted June 20, 2015 Well, no. This isn't Not With My Wife, You Don't: Volume II.I've always liked A.I. the score. I love what La-La Land is capable of doing with these releases. That they convinced Williams to include everything is extraordinary. It's still a shame about Hook. We've gotten several apology releases since that one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same goes for Finding the Blue Fairy.I still prefer the original album version as a standalone piece of music, but I think the film version better fits the narrative of the score. When it goes full tragedy at 2 minutes in really packs a punch the original OST version did not have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris ChrusherComix 46 Posted June 21, 2015 Share Posted June 21, 2015 Wait... what? How did Star Wars Prequel bashing find it's way into a thread about the A.I. 3-CD set? LOL! Some things never change here! Got mine today (ordered it as soon as I could Tuesday, got shipping notification sometime later that night, tracked it to my home today), it is glorious. Looks amazing, sounds amazing. Really a definitive release... if only all releases were like this! Bravo! Hadn't listened to anything from the score in a good while... damn Abandoned, Blue Fairy and Reunion music got the tears a little welled up just like 10 or 15 years ago. Damn you, Williams! lol!

Was that really worthy of being your 22nd contribution to the forum in more than seven years of membership? Totally baffling.I apologize, if you took offense. Maybe it came out a little harder than intended but I was actually surprised to see - in my view - a rather odd combination of soundtracks being referred to as the "shrine of greatness" and the "holy trinity". (I was so surprised, that it was like seeing someone cross the river for water! Who in their right mind crosses the river for water?) My intention was for the comment to be more "cheeky" than "snide". Didn't mean to hurt you feelings. Sorry.I'm as excited about the a new JW-release as any other JWfaner on the boards and have been checking in from time to time to keep up with the good news. But what is the point of an open forum if people aren't allowed to join discussions and be baffled by what other people write. As I've apparently baffled you!
