I'm sorry to hear the only composer you could get to score your injury was Michael Giacchino    Hoping your ears have a speedy recovery!

 

Williams was too busy and Giacchino is one of my favorites and excelled at scoring “Lost” related material. 

[Smeltington 1,441]

True, that and Lost World material, lest we forget.

[Dave 217]

While Michael Giacchino only scored Lost, John Williams scored an entire Lost World.

[Jurassic Shark 12,111]

A world with Giacchino in it.

well, actually...

[A. A. Ron 1,744]

The Lost World video game was literally Giacchino's big breakthrough after his college internship.

[Dave 217]

I stand corrected. Don't know much about his videogame scores.

[Luke Skywalker 1,798]

And the jurassic WORLD trilogy…

[Brónach 1,302]

the returning raptor motif is hilarious

[Faleel 5,376]

The orchestration is hysterical

[Jurassic Shark 12,111]

Someone should make a cover with The Lost World is Not Enough.

T Rex gun you say? I actually know of such a thing...

Better, yes, but I meant that I'm confused that there are Bond actors rather than TLW actors and dinosaurs.

The Mecha World doesn’t have any TLW actors or dinos....

I just figured if the titles were mashed up, the movies themselves probably would be too. And to be fair, there’s been a pterosaur on the cover since my first attempt. 

 

But in the interest of including more dinosaurs...

On topic, though: given I have the physical CD for the OST and the digital release already, I'm assuming there's no real incentive for me to dip in to funds on the physical version.

[EdG 16]

I hope not too many people pass on Intrada's expansion because the download is already out there.

 

Intrada's trying hard to get to do the "crown jewels" at Lucasfilm - which will be harder if they can't make back their investment on projects like SOLO. Not to mention it will prove Lucasfilm was right to limit the release of INDY V if most people will be happy with the download.

[Jay 37,416]

I'm buying one.

Me too

[Marian Schedenig 8,218]

I'm buying one. I never got the digital release, because I was hoping for a CD (and then I sort of forgot, luckily, when it didn't look like one was going to follow anymore…)

Dammit.

[crocodile 8,027]

Even if they can't get the main series, it would be nice for them to do Rogue One and The Mandalorian at least. Or even Obi-Wan.

[Jay 37,416]

Yes please!

[OneBuckFilms 324]

I held off the digital release because I want a physical copy of this score.

 

This is an excellent and fun work and deserves the physical release.

I spent over $30 getting the digital edition in high res. Why on earth would I spend even more money to get the CD? I don’t even play CDs anymore.

[Jay 37,416]

He didn't say "nobody".  He said "not too many people"

 

No need to take it personally

Because it's shiny?

[A. A. Ron 1,744]

Just seems like an unreasonable expense and kind of a silly thing to hope people don’t do.

[Jay 37,416]

Dude, read the room...

[Giftheck 919]

Thinking more on it, it's not unreasonable to support them in their quest to do more Star Wars.

That’s at least a reason, though I doubt they ever get the “crown jewels,” which I would no doubt just buy on digital again anyway.

Thinking about "helping out the cause": I like Solo a lot and I listen to it from time to time. And buying this right now is financially cumbersome.

 

But I would sell off body parts and do major financial gymnastics for a Matessino Star Wars / Raiders set. I'm sure if it was really expensive it would cause me heartburn the likes of which I've not known since the Star Trek box was announced.

 

You know, they could do a repeat of the 1977 Early Bird Gift Set. Buy the SW box now and we'll send you Solo and then SW when it's ready whenever that is! (I LOVED the Early Bird Box. Screw you, haters!)

Just to flag that the ‘deluxe edition’ has reappeared on Apple Music (& other services no doubt) as a new release. What they have actually done is included the JW recording of Adventures of Han to bring this up to 36 tracks. Pretty pointless if you have both albums already but worth pointing out to those who haven't taken the plunge I guess…

a score with three composers shows that collaboration can work, despite all the naysaying

Roger just confirmed on FSM that the CD edition will open with Williams' theme track

 

The digital download is like 2.5 hours of music. I don’t imagine there’s much more to offer.

 

It'll be the same including the Williams' theme at the opening. This was added as part of the process of us putting together the final packaging for the CD. Which I'm hoping gets approved any day...
