The complete certainly has upped my listens of 1941 and Empire Empire for me, as well, 1941 not so much. The only track from 1941 I sometimes listen to is not even on the 1941 albums. It's the March on the Spielberg/Williams Collaboration CD. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is my favourite spot with the preparing of the main theme. Got goosebumps and wanted to cry! Can't believe that this film and this score get me still, no matter how many times I'll watch/listen to it. it's the film that I mostly relate to, that's why it's my favourite of all time. Alone (E.T.) in an alien and maybe hostile world (earth) searching for some love... Hear, hear! KittBash and filmmusic 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Man, what the fuck were they thinking with that 2002 release??? I'm junking that darn thing right now! Holko 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It will jump to the departure sequence, and one CANNOT appreciate the departure sequence fully and properly without the rescue and bike chase sequence.

phbart 609 Posted September 12, 2017 Share Posted September 12, 2017 Details I noted from the samples: - Different (and better) transition from "Far From Home" to "E.T. Alone". Nice! - "E.T.'s Powers", the part where E.T. makes the little planets fly (0:14 to 0:29 on the sample), has an (unidentifiable for me) instrument overlay that's not on the 96 and 02 CD. Dunno if it's on the LD iso score. - "Searching for E.T.", it looks like the same take they used on the 96 CD (which is different from 02 and LD iso score, but I like it better anyway). Maybe the alternate version on CD2 will have that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
