The Force Awakens The Force Awakens Disney Records OST

[Jay 37,323]

Really, I think its hard to predict exactly what to expect. There's a lot of possibilities.

[Taikomochi 1,136]

True, I suppose I am just a pessimist.

[Incanus 5,713]

 

What do people actually expect to happen when Sony loses the licenses, I am curious?

The almighty Disney will seize them and starts producing us the complete scores with Mike Matessino at the helm!

 

 

Sarcasm aside, does anyone really expect that to happen?  I think it's more likely Disney will just keep on milking money without releasing anything new the way Sony has for many years.  

I was actually expressing genuine hope of Disney (or some other company) doing the honorable thing and giving these scores their definitive versions, when Sony's reign of repackaging ends.

Ah, well, I hope so too, but I don't have any optimism about them keeping our niche market in mind.

Well, niche enough to want proper, complete releases, versus the commercial-friendly OST's.

The Disney Legacy collection gives me hope they might do the SW music justice if they got the license.

[BloodBoal 7,538]

Yeah. Either that or their collaboration with Intrada.

[Will Tasker 21]

Yeah. Either that or their collaboration with Intrada.

This is my hope as well.

[JasonTHX 21]

Does Intrada do 3 disc sets? I'm thinking each SW would have to be 3 discs each. Maybe A New Hope can get away with being just two.

[Jay 37,323]

You're wrong. The complete FILM score of ANH actually fits one ONE disc (IE, if you don't include Princess Leia's Theme or the two Cantina Band tracks, but DO include the Binary Sunset alternate). Regardless, a 2CD set would still be needed of course to get all those in there plus the original album presentation.

TESB easily fits on 2 discs, including every last alternate you can think of.

ROTJ could also fit on two discs, but you COULD do a 3 disc set to include every tiny little difference that's ever turned up, or if you wanted to make sure to present those differences in a repeat of the entire cue / track the original version was in.

[Gruesome Son of a Bitch 6,488]

You're forgetting the original album presentations. We would want those, as ESB has never been properly released and I don't hold out much hope for whatever Sony is releasing. Complete chronological score, alternates (including takes we've never heard before) and album presentations. I'm thinking 3 discs for Star Wars (why not?) and at least 4 each for ESB and ROTJ.

[JasonTHX 21]

I never liked the alternates on the SW special editions. They're nice to have. I just never really liked them.

[Wojo 2,453]

The Cantina Bands are more essential than alternate Binary Sunset.

[Gruesome Son of a Bitch 6,488]

We need the Cantina Band with the proper ending that doesn't fade out.

[Romão 2,274]

I really like the alternate Binary Sunset. It doesn't surpass the film version (what does, really?), but it's a very interesting musical piece

[Bilbo 3,709]

Here you go buddy, the complete version!

[Will 2,215]

The TFA soundtrack cover has been slightly changed, to enlarge Williams' credit (perhaps Disney was reading JWFan, and wanted to show their commitment to Williams and dispel suggestions that the cellar song writer would get all the publicity ):

[Luke Skywalker 1,793]

The omision of 'composed and conducted by' is very strange, all star wars films had that. If he did conduct parts of it, he is entitled to it, they can put additional conducting on the back cover.

Also, the omission of 'composed by' diminishes his work, many composers who use collaborators to aid them are credited just like that. (usually you never see the full credit with zimmer, elfman, giacchino...)

And Williams supposedly orchestrated this score all by himself, or something like that was mentioned. They usually do not make emphasis on that.

So it should have been 'music composed, orchestrated & conducted by John Williams'....

[Bespin 8,480]

At least, it's not "Based on Music by John Williams".

[Dixon Hill 4,233]

Despicable that they've castrated his credits and made him seem equal to Zimmer scum. Obviously Williams is about to become the target of a systematic process of intimidation and manipulation by Disney in order to supplant him.

[Gruesome Son of a Bitch 6,488]

Where the hell is William Ross's credit?

[Bespin 8,480]

John Williams is 83, he's been sick this year and has undergone surgery.

Now he simply... delegates.

We should count ourselves very lucky to have a new Star Wars score composed by him, especially this year.

[Richard Penna 3,676]

I just plain don't like the cover. Needs more going on.

I'll probably use one of the fan covers from this thread.

[Gruesome Son of a Bitch 6,488]

What about the Target cover with the photoshop collage?

[Richard Penna 3,676]

I just had to look that up... holy crap, that's even worse. It somehow makes it look tacky.

I need a posted-style cover.

Wait until you see the inside. They've forgone liner notes in favor of collectible posters that form a gigantic mural of Lin-Manuel Miranda's face.

[Cerebral Cortex 3,357]

I just plain don't like the cover. Needs more going on.

I need to try and track down that one fan cover that was posted here that made it look like the prequel album covers.

You're right, the composed and conducted credit is much better. I agree that the music by credit diminishes the maestro's work, in a way.

They should use the movie poster for the album cover instead.

[Scarpia 132]

Here it is.

[Cerebral Cortex 3,357]

You're awesome, Scarpia. Thanks mate.

[Scarpia 132]

Always glad to be of help.

I liked the work on that cover. The poster cropping is done tastefully.

[Not Mr. Big 4,639]

I'd really like to see the cover of "The Art of The Force Awakens" as a CD cover.

[Scarpia 132]

Good choice!

Who knows? Maybe that will be the cover for the not-so-distant expanded 2CD release.

[Will 2,215]

I'd really like to see the cover of "The Art of The Force Awakens" as a CD cover.

Yeah, it would be cool if they featured something like that, or this:

[Gruesome Son of a Bitch 6,488]

I still believe the original intent was to pay homage to the Star Wars vinyl album cover but then someone decided it wasn't eye-catching enough and needed cartoon stars and colors other than black and white.

[Scarpia 132]

I agree with you. The homage intention is clear to me, and those decisions you point out were surely "orders from above".

[mrbellamy 6,272]

It looks fine. I really like this cover.

[Jediking12 1]

Here it is.

Better!

[Unlucky Bastard 7,782]

Too cluttered!

[Balahkay 627]

I like the plain cover and even the Target cover.

[BloodBoal 7,538]

The omision of 'composed and conducted by' is very strange, all star wars films had that. If he did conduct parts of it, he is entitled to it, they can put additional conducting on the back cover.

Maybe they thought "Music Composed But Only Partially Conducted By Williams Due To Back Problems" wouldn't look very good on the cover.

[Gruesome Son of a Bitch 6,488]

Apparently, Williams no longer gives a shit about crediting William Ross for conducting. The pacemaker changed him. Like Borg implants.

[Incanus 5,713]

More machine than a man? Surely not. He would not go calling people "angel baby" if he was heartless.

[Bilbo 3,709]

This whole thing is turning into one giant homage.

Ugh. These posts make residence here very difficult at the moment. Just take a moment to listen to yourself, get some perspective in life. Yikes!

But no, it doesn't. Unless you're a massive anal retentive prone to anxiety attacks over absolutely nothing.

[BloodBoal 7,538]

Block them out. All of them.

[Joni Wiljami 1,206]

Hangover?

Indeed.
