crumbs 14,301 Posted March 2, 2018 Share Posted March 2, 2018 I hate to be that guy, but geez, that short snippet of Main Title is absolutely glorious. Reminds me of how Main Title is supposed to sound. What is it with the LSO and their ability to perfectly capture the energy of that cue? I still don't know if it's the mix, the stage, the recording or the performance, but I just cannot love the TFA recording of the cue. It just feels terribly removed from the 4 LSO recordings, doubly disappointing as TLJ's new recording setup/mix rivals that of the latter two prequels!

Popular Post Naïve Old Fart 9,498 Posted March 2, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted March 2, 2018 Has it occurred to JWfaners that some of us who are complaining about this CD, have just paid $100 plus to hear a lot of this collection played live, in October? Digital versions of THE RAIDERS MARCH, SCHINDLER'S LIST, STAR WARS, SUPERMAN, all played by the London fucking Symphony fucking Orchestra?! C'mon guys, you can't go wrong! Personally, I'm buying this primarily for the performance, and not the content. bollemanneke, Breadstick Basilisk, Bespin and 3 others 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Naïve Old Fart 9,498 Posted March 2, 2018 Share Posted March 2, 2018 Fuck the cover art. One of the best "latter day" Queen albums, has quite simply, the worst, ugliest cover I've ever seen, but that does stop me listening to it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rough cut 1,714 Posted March 2, 2018 Share Posted March 2, 2018 I think the album art is part of the experience. For example, E.T. 35 certainly elevated the experience. But I’m old school, I realize I’m old school. As for this CD vs the live performance - I think there’s a big difference between what you want to hear in a concert, as to what you want released globally on a CD. dtw42 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smeltington 1,436 Posted March 2, 2018 Share Posted March 2, 2018 It's just too many of the big fanfares and highlights all in a row, for my taste. I liked the selection and sequencing on the Lockhart album, for instance, even though it ran longer than this one. It'll be fun to listen through the whole thing once, in anticipation of the Williams/LSO concert, and to choose which tracks to buy.

Matt S. 492 Posted March 2, 2018 Share Posted March 2, 2018 48 minutes. Even less, if they use the shortened version of Hymn to the Fallen.
