The primary function of film music is NOT to be heard on its own.yes, but sometimes it can be heard on its own and stand on its own without needing the picture.This is what distinguishes great film music and great composers from just serviceable film music and composers.

Ricard 2,242 Posted November 4, 2015 Share Posted November 4, 2015 Just an FYI, Jaws 2 should be put under the recent releases tab on the main page underneath Star Wars.It will be there as soon as the gigantic announcement on the main page gets buried by other news.Also, the link to Lost In Space has Rounds in the title of the link instead of Lost In Space - 50th Anniversary Soundtrack Collection.This has been fixed, thanks.

Demondm810 398 Posted November 4, 2015 Share Posted November 4, 2015 Only 8 of the 14 OST tracks contain just one cue.

Gruesome Son of a Bitch 6,488 Posted November 5, 2015 Share Posted November 5, 2015 Are we certain Jaws is coming next? I don't really give a shit about Jaws 2, but I fully support its reissue since the OST has been OOP for like decades for no good reason and fools like Drax end up paying out the ass to own a legit physical copy. The Varese album has perfect sound and all the highlights as far as I'm concerned. Actually, there's too much music on it as I skip parts. Now, Jaws definitely needs to be redone. To at least have the original album in better sound quality would be great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Incanus 5,713 Posted November 5, 2015 Share Posted November 5, 2015 The Catamaran Race was always two cues from different parts of the film smashed together. In the new presentation the two cues are called Sailing and More BoatingThanks Jay,All these years, I never realized that was two cues.And that is the magic of John Williams the album producer.Thank heavens we don't have "album presentations" of classical music too!I wouldn't like to hear the last movement of Beethoven's 9th symphony with edits here and there and cutting out of the "unimportant" stuff!

Jay 37,281 Posted November 11, 2015 Share Posted November 11, 2015 If shipping to Europe is really $13 per 2CD set (Jesus!), I *HIGHLY* recommend you wait for Intrada's November 17 (which seems like it could be JAWS), and December batches before ordering direct from them, and then bundling it all together to save on shipping. $13 per set is insane!

karelm 2,903 Posted November 12, 2015 Share Posted November 12, 2015 The Jaws 2 clips sound really good - will have to pick this and Jaws 1 up. Has a Herrmanneque underwater vibe to it:https://youtu.be/3ANrC1PDDEM?t=295Also similar to Herrmann's score to "Beneath the 12 Mile Reef", is that both films were horrible with great scores.

scallenger 481 Posted November 18, 2015 Author Share Posted November 18, 2015 For anyone else who has listened to this, I actually vastly prefer the album arrangement (which I know is remastered on disc 2). This is one of those rare occasions where I think the album Williams assembled truly makes the score stand out and actually work outside the film. The complete and chronological arrangement honestly feels a bit boring. Not just because of the (mostly) uninteresting new music, but even the rest of the tracks just don't seem to go long enough to create proper momentum. The few times things get lengthy, there are long notes/chords that just go on for far too long. So this is one of those rare cases where most of the micro edits actually were warranted. I know, obviously, these presentations are meant to showcase all the music as in the film, and it is important for people that are HUGE fans of the score. I actually loved hearing it in the film, too, so I was actually really excited for this. I recently had the same kind of experience listening to the (mostly) complete score of Return To Oz. The difference for that one, however, was that it's unreleased music was a lot greater in number and quality. Some scores just drag in their complete form, I have come to realize, and sometimes album arrangements aren't such a bad thing. Hence why I am loving this trend of labels like Intrada and LaLaLand including both. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Incanus 5,713 Posted November 18, 2015 Share Posted November 18, 2015 Not to mention giving those fans who do not own the original album a chance to get it along with the complete score. In the case of Jaws 2 it has been OOP for quite a while. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

steb74 53 Posted November 18, 2015 Share Posted November 18, 2015 I've listened to it a few times now and find the C+C presentation to be a much more enjoyable and far better listening experience. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
