Amer 1773 Posted March 17, 2016 Author Share Posted March 17, 2016 Im wondering whats preventing it from making it this year, however. I suspect the reissue will be a 2cd set with the LP album master . Probably the licensing rights of the LP may be preventing this from happening just this year. Oh well, but at least the cat is outta the bag and time to rejoice. And also we hope to got at least two more titles THIS year (if all goes well).

Naïve Old Fart 7511 Posted March 17, 2016 Share Posted March 17, 2016 Yes, it's all very pretty, Bishop, but what does it mean? What, exactly, is different from this release, compared to the 2001 release? If it's a straight re-release, then I'd welcome it, if only for the opportunity for more JWfaners to hear it without the need to shell-out $100 for the privilege. Does the new release offer more, or remastered, music? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Incanus 5565 Posted March 17, 2016 Share Posted March 17, 2016 I think there is a good chance they have found better tapes in the intervening years. I am hoping for a completely new programme with improved sound. Scarpia 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Naïve Old Fart 7511 Posted March 17, 2016 Share Posted March 17, 2016 It's true that mastering/rematering techniques have improved over the last 15 years, or so. Listen to the original "1" CD, and then listen to the same CD that was re-released last November...WOW! I'm not sure, however, that one could get that much more information out of "TTI". The whole thing sounds a bit "fragile", if you know what I mean, and anyway, my (equal) favourite cue is "damaged", which should give you an indication of how the rest of the score has fared. That being said, I look forward to listening to whatever LLL cames up with (apparently the new(ish) downloads of the OST sound great). Also, there's not that much more music to release; the pop music that plays on the kid's headphones, the music heard as Steve McQueen shakes hands with the fireman, some source cues ("The More I See You", etc.) and this mysterious "Overture", that I have read about, but never heard. As far as I remember, there was no entr'acte, or intermission music. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Incanus 5565 Posted March 17, 2016 Share Posted March 17, 2016 Who knows what they might unearth. Since I don't own the FSM release or am inclined to buy the digital download OST, I certainly welcome a new release of the score. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Naïve Old Fart 7511 Posted March 17, 2016 Share Posted March 17, 2016 Quite! Don't get me wrong, Incanus; any release of my 3rd favourite JW score ever, will always have my full attention. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Naïve Old Fart 7511 Posted March 17, 2016 Share Posted March 17, 2016 So would I, but I'd rather have a complete score, including all alternete takes, fully remixed from the original 1st generation multi-track tapes, in DTS MA 5.1.

Jay 30970 Posted March 17, 2016 Share Posted March 17, 2016 The nice thing about MV telling us about this now is that current owners of the FSM release can sell it off to people who haven't learned of the upcoming version yet for $50-$500 or so, and then use $30 of that to pick up the new one.

Thor 5793 Posted March 17, 2016 Share Posted March 17, 2016 Dammit -- there goes my chance of selling my FSM copy of INFERNO for exorbitant prices! But it's not for sale, and I'm not going to replace it with this new release either. But I'm happy for those of you who don't have it, and who can now get it for a reasonable price again.

Amer 1773 Posted March 17, 2016 Author Share Posted March 17, 2016 I sold mine some 6 years ago for a good price back then only because I needed the money for my LA trip.( And it was worth it indeed) Looking forward to the LLL release which will be remastered (hopefully by veteran Mike Mattessino) Honestly hoping that the LP content is part and parcel of this as a 2cd package. It will be worth the wait next year..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I may have lost $500 or something, but in the scheme of things, I'm glad I kept it. Amer 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Incanus 5565 Posted March 18, 2016 Share Posted March 18, 2016 The dramatic scoring is excellent, the main title and planting the charges sequences among the highlights. The elevator music is well actual elevator music. Very much in line with the scoring of the two other disaster extravaganzas Williams did in that period, a mix of strong orchestral writing and pop sensibilities of the times.

Amer 1773 Posted March 18, 2016 Author Share Posted March 18, 2016 Good news for JFK fans also. MV has kindly confirmed at FSM (same thread) that it is indeed coming from LLL ( next year or later)"JFK -- 2017 or later POLICE ACADEMY 2 - 2017 or later Like I stated we do have some more Goldsmith and Williams in the works for 2016. We'll see what happens" Im over the moon that we have some semblance of a time frame here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke Skywalker 1440 Posted March 18, 2016 Share Posted March 18, 2016 Wow looks good. I hope that if they are announcing Towering and JFK means that they cannot be cancelled... The 2016 score could still be pulled it seems. (otherwise i suppose they would have revealed them instead of the other two scores...) Arent we still waiting for 'Conan the Destroyer' :/ Oh Steef, dont get horny, but JFK is another hole in my collection. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
