In what form do you listen to "The Force Awakens" the most?

[bespinGPT 8,767]

The Force Awaks will turn 2 yo in a few days... Already two years! Woo-oooo!!!!

 

As you know, the FYC album was available very shortly after the release of the score, allowing the fans to make their own playlists very quickly.

 

Did you stick to the OST album?  Did you stick to the FYC Album?  Did you make your own playlist?

 

Bespin wants to know!

On a related issue - the FYC Rogue One was for a short while available as mp3s at Disney. Now they're not. Anyone who'd like to share these with me? Just send a PM.

[crumbs 14,870]

Definitely combined OST and FYC. Way too many edits in the action material on the OST for my liking.

I only listen to Lockhart’s The Jedi Steps nowadays.

OST+FYC combination/edit thingy.

I love the extended Poe theme in the concert arrangement of the Finale (conducted by Lockhart).

Just wait for the extended Porgs theme in the concert arrangement of the Finale (conducted by Dudamel) !

[Jurassic Shark 13,158]

It will be interesting to see whether TLJ has an even more extended version of Poe's theme.

[crumbs 14,870]

More likely just dropped entirely.

[Jurassic Shark 13,158]

I guess that depends on the story of the movie.

[JoeinAR 1,953]

In my car over and over.  It takes 5 trips to and from work to listen to the complete album

[Disco Stu 15,501]

I listen to the OST almost exclusively

[Thor 8,353]

I didn't even know there was a FYC album. I listen to the OST. Always and always. Haven't listened to it in ages, though.

Same here.

[Wojo 2,456]

_{I have yet to sort the audio files of any unofficial copy or put the OST onto my iPod. So I just listen to the CD.} 

[Disco Stu 15,501]

Fun fact, I don't own the Force Awakens on CD.

 

I bought 320 MP3 and a vinyl copy (the original vinyl release, not a special one).  I don't collect many soundtracks on vinyl, but I do Star Wars.

[bespinGPT 8,767]

You call this fun?

 

Ban him!

[Brundlefly 2,393]

He's listening to mp3! Ban him and then kill him!

[rough cut 1,742]

I say spare him! The fact that he owns the vinyl will be his redemption!

 

Even though I’m an advocator of the lossless format, listening to a 320 kbps mp3 is no worse than listening to Spotify, which I’m sure there are plenty of visitors on the forum who uses rather than buying the CDs.

[bespinGPT 8,767]

Ok, but just a little bit of torture... please?

 

@Disco Stu Did you know that the Force Awakens OST was his 139th album?

[Disco Stu 15,501]

According to whose discography?

The only one that allow a counting of JW's albums!

 

Because, yeah, in addition of collecting them.. we can count them.  There's no law against that.

most of the spotify rips I've downloaded for "early preview" sound like crap compared to 320 MP3's

[Wojo 2,456]

Is that the fault of the ripping software or person, instead of the media? 

[rough cut 1,742]

I think the standard setting in Spotify is 128 kbps but you can change it to 320 in settings.

[Richard P 4,189]

The standard quality in spotify doesn't sound bad to me at all.

 

But I only use to decide whether I like a song before buying it, so I don't really care.

 

As for TFA, I started out with the OST plus a couple of FYC tracks, then realized Rey's Theme and The Resistance (FYC) is all I need from the score.

[Jay 39,429]

OST + FYC playlist

[bespinGPT 8,767]

Thanks to all voters.

 

This confirm what I tought, the FYC album fucked all up, preventing the fans to really enjoy the OST "as John Williams" created it.

 

Please someone of the business... Disney... look at this... and... I don't know... tell something to "John Williams", his "EDITS" don't pass anymore.

 

This is the reality, no?

 

Thanks.

[Jay 39,429]

I listen to the OST album on Spotify all the time too.  Its an extremely well-constructed album!

 

But of course, I look forward to the day when we get a Matessino produced complete score with all those juicy alternates Williams wrote that JJ kept replacing!

Are you implying that John Williams is not his real name?

[bespinGPT 8,767]

Johnny, John Towner, John T., how many they are seriously?

[Jay 39,429]

There is nothing wrong whatsoever with the Force Awakens OST.  JW did a good job assembling score highlights and concert arrangements into a very wonderful album.

 

The complete score simply has so much more to offer than could fit on any 75 minute presentation, so I am thankful that Disney released the FYC free to download so we can hear more of it, and its possible to add those bits into the existing album and still end up with a nice listenable experience.

Where can I find this Lockhart re-recording? I'm intrigued.

[MrScratch 295]

I voted "A playlist with only few tracks"

When I listen to it, I listen to about 8 or 9 tracks from the OST plus the FYC track "The Resistance".  I've only listened to the OST straight through one single time.

It's a good OST, chronological enough, with the concert versions distributed around in places where they mostly make sense. But I still like as much material as possible from any JW score, so I listen to an edit of the OST, FYC, and a few tracks from other people's edits who have been kind enough to share.

You mean tracks that are not on the OST nor FYC?

[Smeltington 1,569]

Yes, mostly just stuff that doesn't have sound effects, or tracks with microedits fixed.
