What is 'E.T. Is Dying' on the second disk?

 

The alternate version of Stay With Me, from the previous release(s?)

Little music has brought me as much joy as this score has over the years.  I can't wait to have the definitive presentation of Williams' music for and related to E.T.

 

Is there much unreleased?  No, but having it all in one release sure is nice.  And with gorgeous artwork and, I'm sure, great liner notes.

Very much so. Which also puts to rest my OCD desire for complete John Williams releases. ;)

I would expect $30.

Yeah 29.95 sounds about right.

The shipping costs won't sound right. ;)

Well that is true, Damn the high postage costs. But that doesn't pertain to the music itself which is a must. :)

Based on cue/track lengths from previous soundtracks:

1. Three Million Light Years From Home 2:57
2. Abandoned and Pursued 2:58
3. E.T. and Me 4:49
4. E.T.’s Halloween 4:07
5. Flying 3:20
6. E.T. Phone Home 4:18
7. Over the Moon 2:06
8. Adventure On Earth 15:06
9. The E.T. Adventure * ?
10. Far From Home / E.T. Alone (Alternate) ** 6:52
11. The Encounter * 2:07
12. Meeting E.T. (Alternate) * 2:52
13. E.T.’s New Home (Alternate) ** 1:28
14. The Kiss * 0:28
15. The Levitation * 1:00
16. Searching For E.T. (Alternate) ** 4:04
17. E.T. is Dying 2:20
18. The Departure (Alternate) 7:08
19. End Credits (Alternate) 3:10
Total  71:10

 

If the total track time of disc 2 is 78:42 then E.T. Adventure (the most anticipated track in JWFan history, affectionately known as Botanicus) is approx. 7:32 long. And that's assuming the alternates match the track times of existing tracks (which is unlikely; they might be shorter or longer).

 

Based on the cue list. It would appear that Levitation (6m2) and alternates for The Forest (1M1) and Keyes Arrives (1M2) (previously assumed to have never been recorded) were recorded after all! There were seemingly two versions of The Kiss (5m6) but only the 'fixed' version has been included here.

 

Overall, I can't imagine anyone being upset with this release. It appears to be flawless (to the surprise of nobody!) Again, thank you to LLL and Mike Matessino. 

 

EDIT: Annnnnnnd nevermind. Oh, that missing track on disc 2 has re-appeared too! :lol:

So the E.T. ride at Universal lasts only little over 4 mins?

Yes. The holy grail of E.T. music is really that long!

Hey, Rescuing Sirius is barely a minute long!

 

Sometimes it's not about the length, rather the content... and I'm sure, whatever the contents of Botani-- E.T. Adventure, it will be the best unreleased music ever heard from the pencil of Maestro John Williams.

Is that enough time for the bike to fly by the moon? E.T. is definitely on steroids then...

Seriously I have no idea what it is.

 

It's the Adventure Ride music, which Williams wrote not for the movie but for the ET theme park!
