Richard Penna 3,690 Posted November 20, 2020 Share Posted November 20, 2020 The UK is not treated comparatively well on price with this - £22 for Flac from 7Digital, £21 on Qobuz, which is essentially the same as the US. 3 hours ago, DrTenma said: I was thinking the same thing... I don't know why Powell hyped and even called the track "Super Extra Deluxe End Credits Suite" when it's just a copy-paste of other tracks. I like the re-recording of the fanfare but I was also expecting something like specific new arrangements of the cues or something like that. Thirded. I played it and waited for something new and interesting, and nothing came. It just sounds like an edit of some tracks, with the excerpt from Mine Mission cutting off just before it gets to those awesome chords. Considering I also find the SW fanfare annoying these days, might just leave this off my playlist and put The Adventures Of Han in its place. I also agree with previous comments that Maul's Call and Parting Ways would be better off separated. I like the whole track, but crossfading two cues that don't merge naturally...

Anthony 572 Posted November 20, 2020 Share Posted November 20, 2020 I wish there was a longer version of Lando's Jungle Room. It has potential but doesn't have the time to develop. I'd buy a whole album of Powell's in-world music. It's just the right kind of quirky. Jay 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blondheim 1,157 Posted November 20, 2020 Share Posted November 20, 2020 Reminiscence Therapy sounds much better with this new mix. It was the most problematic track for me on the original album due to the heavy mixing. I could hear there was a good arrangement in there, it was just mixed to within an inch of its life. This lets the music breathe. I am very impressed. Jay 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is really great and manages to sustain interest throughout. In a way it is better than the OST because there's more breathing room in between loud setpiecesand it is not as aggressively mastered (sort of like the recent HTTYD). It is actually some of those other in-between bits that I enjoy the most (tracks 17, 24 or 32, for example). Williams' contributions are much subtler than expected which is surprising. I was genuinely thinking some of the bigger statements of Han's theme were his. The score in its entirety is very light on references and the ones that are there are executed with bit more imagination than you'd expect. Unlike many composers who get stuck in either trying to simply copy/paste or awkwardly oversimplify Williams' themes, Powell seems to be having genuine fun and just really goes for it. It is a truly joyful score that you don't here a lot anymore these days. One that is boldly nostalgic yet completely contemporary. This is how you do it. I sort of hope Disney will ask him do more of those. Karol I think the “joyful” aspect is something that really endears me to Powell’s music the most. There is soooo much ambient sludge in the film music world today. I highly admire Powell (especially in these last 5 years or so) for taking on projects that allow him to write the kind of music he prefers to write. Sure they may be a ton of “kiddie films” or films that tend do not do well financially. But so be it if it means we get to hear his unique and uplifting musical voice.

I don't remember now if in the movie is like that or there's some silence between them. I just posted about this yesterday, here is what I had to say (the part in italics): On 11/19/2020 at 5:13 PM, Jay said: OK because I couldn't wrap my head around this is until I did it, here's how DE track 32 Maul's Call / Parting Ways breaks down [0:00-1:02] = Qi'Ra's conversation with Maul = the first part of 7M42B-43 Skype Showdown {7M42B} [1:02-2:02] = Final closeup on QiRa's face and then transition to Beckett and Chewie approaching Han, and their dialogue until Han shoots him = the second part of 7M42B-43 Skype Showdown {7M43}, which was also on the OST in "Good Thing You Were Listening" from 0:00-1:03 (an intended pause as Beckett realizes he's been shot and falls down is removed from the DE; they elected to crossfade the previous cue with the next instead. I wish they hadn't done this! I would have preferred Maul's Call to be one track, and Parting Ways a separate track) [2:02-2:39] = Han goes to Beckett and they say their final words to each other, and Beckett dies = first part of 7M44A-B Becket Departs {7M44A} [2:39-3:39] = Han's theme on a closeup of Han's face as he looks up to see Qi'Ra flying around, the movie now cutting back and forth several times between Han looking up at her and Qi'ra looking out the ship's window = 7M44B Alt Qi’Ra Departs, which wasn't on the OST. Instead, the OST contained the second part of 7M44A-B Becket Departs {7M4B?} in "Good Thing You Were Listening" from 1:03-end, which is a different rendition of the Qi'Ra theme [3:39-end] = The final scene with Han and Enfys = 7M45 Parting Ways And: On 11/19/2020 at 5:40 PM, Jay said: Sometimes it is great when an album producer elects to take some short cues and combine them in a track, to keep the pace and momentum moving forward when slowing doing and being choppy would be counter-productive. Sometimes a climax, pause, and then continuation is part of the music. The climax we hear from 2:01-2:02 is the defining moment of the entire film, when Han kills Beckett in cold blood as Beckett does not expect it. After that climax, a full fadeout, and moment of silence before the next cue begins would give that climax more weight. Immediately crossfading into the next cue before the climax is even over robs the moment of its power.

On 11/20/2020 at 11:03 AM, ymenard said: Just to be sure, is there any material from the 20-track original release that I would need to keep for a complete score? The last 18 seconds of "Marauders Arrive" is slightly different than the last 18 seconds of "Deluxe Train Heist" "Chicken In The Pot" features Baraka May only, while here it's a duet between Baraka May and Reid Bruton "Good Thing You Were Listening", from 1:03-end, is 7M44B Alt Qi'Ra Departs, a revised ending of 7M44A-B Beckett Departs that did not get used in the film. Beckett Departs is heard in its entirety in the DE track "Maul's Call / Parting Ways" from 2:02-3:39, and Qi'Ra Departs is an unused replacement for the part from 2:39-3:39 "The Adventures of Han" is not on the DE at all That's is, apart from of course the fact that the entire OST is a completely different mix than the DE.

mstrox 6,651 Posted November 20, 2020 Share Posted November 20, 2020 Williams wrote a handful of demo tracks (demo generous - fully orchestrated and recorded with a full orchestra in LA). Those were repurposed and rerecorded, presumably as-is, by Powell in London in the tracks he mentioned. He adapted Williams' themes, including stuff written for this movie, throughout as well.

WampaRat 1,105 Posted November 20, 2020 Share Posted November 20, 2020 Just finished my first full listen. Smiling from ear to ear. I just can’t believe our luck that we got a John Powell Star Wars score! And that it was better than I could have hoped for. And he released an expanded version of it just for fun! (And maybe some money;) The new mix is terrific. And the complete score really benefits from the quieter/“connecting tissue” that wasn’t released originally. I have to say from just this one listen, my favorite new pieces are: Mimban Battle Family Stories Oksanna Floren Mauls Call/ Parting Ways. Out of curiosity, why do you think we bothered to remix it at all? Is he that in touch with some of his fans who were disappointed in the initial recording? anyhoo, now to listen to Mando season 2 vol. 1 Kasey Kockroach and crumbs 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is he that in touch with some of his fans who were disappointed in the initial recording? Well, it's like this. There are three mixes. The film mix, the album mix, and the DE mix. The film mix is essentially just how they mixed it right after recording. There's no need to specifically EQ or add reverb or anything like that, because it's going into the film and the entire film itself will be balanced overall with music, sound effects, and dialogue. Then, he decided which cues he wanted to be on the OST, and edited them together, etc. That assembly would then have an album mix made. This is when it would be changed from how it sounded originally to be optimized for home listening. Obviously, there are many different ways one can go when doing this, and in this particular case many think the mix those chose did a disservice to the score. Later when the DE was green lit, he would have gone back to the original files from the recording sessions, the film mixes, and edited that into the new album. Then when deciding how to master it for home listening, they could have attempted to do all the same settings they did for the album all over again - both to the cues that were on the album again, and for the first time to the cues that weren't - but luckily they chose to eschew that and go with a brand new mix. Luckily this mix is much more favorable to the music, letting you hear the different instruments much better. As for why? Maybe Disney Records was involved the first time around, and this time it was in Powel's total control? Or maybe Powell's ideas of how his music should be presented for home listening has just changed over time. The recent 2020 expanded version of HTTYD has similarly been remixed to provide more clarity to the different instrument groups compared to the OST mix, just like Solo Kasey Kockroach, Tom Guernsey, DrTenma and 1 other 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Holko 9,526 Posted November 20, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted November 20, 2020 Having to use a theme written by JW and not having any choice about it beside doing the movie or not could be very intimidating, it's easy to imagine some composer treating it as an immutable sacred artifact, only copypasting the same renditions all over and making it the only highlight, some other composer resenting the obligation and treating it contemptuously, burying it or making it sound bad - but Powell's better than that, and also as evidenced by some JW-written variants, these two spry lads were absolutely on the same wavelength. JW wrote lovely but very moldable themes, and Powell really made them his own here, they blend in perfectly with his ones - which again are not only fun as heck but impressively malleable and multifaceted, something he takes full advantage of, like always, and like JW. Not that there wouldn't be any place to take them in a potential sequel that will never happen! The sound is great, moments and subtleties are much more noticeable, the action is impressive but not as overwhelming, the choirs are clear but blend in well. The program is fantastic - going through clear phases, but all of them have much more connecting tissue, breathing space, lead-ins and playoffs than on the OST, making the bombastic highlights stand out that much more - and that is not to say the connective tissue is purely fluff or padding, oh no, far far far from it, it's interesting and engaging, theme renditions and harp pieces galore, his edition adds many many additional highlights to an already impressive number. Adventures of Han kicks ass, Meet Han follows it so well. Bunk/Proxima helps Corellia Chase have that much more impact and presence, Spaceport plays it off and builds to a new kind of mood and tension nicely and builds to a great climax. The Empire Recruitment ad is a terrific exploration of the familiar theme in a specific recogniseable style, even more impressive when compared to Kiner's feeble effort. I'm Gonna Be A Pilot is a fun buildup to the phenomenal highlight that is Mimban Battle - starting with one of the most inspired recent settings of Imperial March on glorious low churning brass, leading to a hurried Han A, all over great busy string writing, a perfect grand introduction to the Crew motif that immediately after gets its more usual lower sneaky settings in a fun little march. Blackmail starts off the cheeky playing with Luke's Theme and leads well to The Beast, a fun collection of styles and a great introduction to Chewie's theme. These new cues add a much needed break before Chewie Untamed, still the absolute highlight and varied theme exploration that it is. Surveying Conveyex again provides some more breathing time between highlights but also plants the Enfys Nest idea. Train Heist is a wonderful propulsive action piece that never gets boring and even packs a surprise or two even if you know the OST tracks. Thankfully after it completely goes crazy at the end, we get Walk to Dryden to help us catch our breath, and also connecting better to Chicken in the Pot... which I heavily dislike in this film version. Thankfully a new batch of great Love theme renditions help lead us to another, fun bit of source music - you can feel how much fun Powell had writing all these source pieces (hint: A LOT). Compare them to the generic pap they mixed under JW's cameo. A wonderful tense batch of new cues follow, a lighter turn brings us to a new texture, electric guitar at the forefront in the Card Room. Sabacc Game, the fun interlude cheekily hiding the Rebel Fanfare, thus has a more natural introduction now. L3's comedic theme still gives way to the glorious new Luke reading and funny Rebel Fanfare playoff, a major highlight in the score. Family Stories builds to convey Han's wonder at the size of the universe and opening possibilities gloriously, Lando' Closet is still the lush passionate Love Theme reading (though already not being able to exist wihout Crimson Dawn sneaking in), Trust No One scores the beautiful but dangerous tiptoe through the safe route in the Maw. Oksana Floren, with the occasional lovely burst of brass figures, returns to the guitar and an overall tense hushed sneaky texture, with another cheeky Luke peeking its head out to finish a more orchestral interlude perfectly naturally. After this other extended break, we're ready for 20 minutes of close to nonstop action! Nothing new to speak of but still a showstopper section with inspired motif reprises, renditions, new segments, dripping with energy. Savareen Tent helps our pulse recover from that insanity, and even Enfys' Stand-off has a worse bark than bite, after which we return to comfortable ground again, but only to go big and tense once more for the climax, now that we had minutes to rest on the previous one. Double-Double criss builds more creatively voiced tension, and Dryden's Long Long Fight wisely doesn't even try to outdo that mammoth block or even Train Heist, it goes instead for a relative minimalism and heavy percussion - it then follows the end of the fight with an aching solo piano love theme that slowly turns sour and morphs into Crimson Dawn. The Duel of the Fates cue is longer than I thought, and not only is just a fun reference but orchestrated very nicely. Funnily enough it's followed by an orchestral wave not unlike JW's Prequel Planet wipe transitions! Parting Ways reprises multiple themes, including a clever close mirroring of the opening of Meet Han. A fun source and a fun score cue then lead to the finale which, after so long, once again pulls out all stops and briefly gives in to absolute bombasticity, transitioning to a high octane Main On End and a not great, not terrible credits medley. I used to really really like this score. I adore it now. Tiburon, Smeltington, Cerebral Cortex and 9 others 10 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

igger6 894 Posted November 20, 2020 Share Posted November 20, 2020 Is "Extra Deluxe Mine Mission" just "Mine Mission" plus "Break Out"? Or is there something new in there? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Manakin Skywalker 4,894 Posted November 20, 2020 Share Posted November 20, 2020 Believe it or not I wasn't able to listen to the album yesterday at all, so I'm just starting now! I really like that unused portion of Bunk / Proxima! Kind of reminds me of something out of SotE. Also the harp riff at 1:38 referencing the string riff towards the end of Marauder's Arrive. I also noticed the bit when Proxima is revealed in considerably slower than in the film. They must have sped it up a bit to match the scene. Time for track 3!

The DE track "Extra Deluxe Mine Mission" is just OST tracks "Mine Mission" and "Breakout" combined with a crossfade. The particular moment you are talking about starting at 4:50 on the DE track is 0:45 of "Breakout" on the OST. And holy hell, comparing the two, the brass sounds SO MUCH BETTER in the DE mix!

WampaRat 1,105 Posted November 20, 2020 Share Posted November 20, 2020 Has this been mentioned already? The film version of “Train Heist” has a little choral moment when they break open the safe(?) and see the coaxium for the first time. (you here it about 20 seconds into this clip.) It doesn’t seem to appear on the deluxe version... Must have been a tiny insert. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jay 37,364 Posted November 20, 2020 Share Posted November 20, 2020 Question! The DE version of Chicken in The Pot lists "Baraka May & Reid Bruton" as the vocalists. Which one of those was the OST vocalist, or was the OST vocalist a different, third person? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There were a couple other tiny overlays in this cue that aren't on the DE. WampaRat 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ok cool. I never listened to the OST that much, so this expansion feels very fresh, musically. I hear what you mean about the mix - what on earth must've happened mastering the OST for a score recorded a few years ago to sound this different?
