Hopefully that's it. And why would he want us to refrain from inquiries regarding that error? To me, it's clear that this is about the Potter releases that haven't been mentioned anywhere else and that Mike also hasn't commented on. And if he doesn't want us to inquire about it, I'd say that's because he can't officially say anything. Which in turn seems to indicate that they are happening, but shouldn't have been announced yet, and any questions about them would put Mike in a difficult spot. So I'll not inquire and wait patiently. We all know how often these things get delayed, perhaps because of pressing schedules, or because of artwork approvals, or perhaps they simply weren't meant to be announced yet.

Yet the score sounds infinitely more vibrant, detailed and balanced at the LTP presentations, at least with the orchestra I saw performing it (the Melbourne Symphony Orchestra). TFA's recording is too dry and the mix is overproduced. They rightfully corrected both with TLJ, thankfully. Chewy and Mattris 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

crumbs 14,364 Posted October 29, 2018 Share Posted October 29, 2018 I get the impression they would have refined TFA's mix/record if they'd had more time, but it seems like TFA's schedule (as luxurious as the writing schedule was) was pretty jam-packed with constant revisions and inserts. It's possible Murphy was trying to emulate the dry sound of the original '77 score (perhaps at JJ's behest) but hadn't attempted that sound at Sony before, and didn't have time to perfect his microphone setup once recording started. The balance is very brass-leaning and other sections are totally lost in the mix. But it's all personal preference I guess. All we really know is they overhauled it for TLJ, with Rian commenting that it was an intentional change from TFA's 'dry, punchy' recording to TLJ's warmer one. Whether this was spearheaded by Johnson, Williams or Murphy isn't clear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
artguy360 1,844 Posted October 29, 2018 Share Posted October 29, 2018 I always understood it as everyone involved trying to reproduce the dry, punchy, brass-leaning, slightly bare sound of the original Star Wars. TLJ is much more lush and consistent with modern JW sound mixes. Drew 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gruesome Son of a Bitch 6,489 Posted October 29, 2018 Share Posted October 29, 2018 Were it not for my insomnia, I'm sure TLJ would put me to sleep. It just wasn't a good collaboration with Rian Dick and the film seemed to mainly result in a lot of autopilot filler music connecting various uninspired renditions of the themes.

crumbs 14,364 Posted October 29, 2018 Share Posted October 29, 2018 Don't the GOF sessions sound like shit anyway? Thinking more broadly, maybe the reason Potter has been such a long-gestating project is because they wanted to secure the rights to all eight scores before proceeding with the first? Could be quite the cash-cow for them, if the profit margins are a bit higher on the non-Williams scores. Heck, they might even be relying on the latter 5 scores to make the whole project profitable! bollemanneke 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Given all the parties involved who might ask for reviews and sign-offs (WB, JK Rowling company, Gorfaine/Schwartz, etc.), I guess this is the sort of project that would take YEARS just for getting all approvals down the line. But I'm confident the finish line is on the very near future. crumbs 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure he rarely turns down the chance to produce any premium expansion but he would naturally prioritize depending on composer or urgency of the licensing situation. He's had a bloody busy year though, considering all the Superman scores, Alien 3, three Harry Potter scores, Schindler's List, Saving Private Ryan, Dracula and The Cowboys. Many of those would've been very involved projects, too. Arpy, Once and bollemanneke 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Richard Penna 3,733 Posted October 29, 2018 Share Posted October 29, 2018 My colleague wanted to listen to the full JP score when I told him about it, and he remembered where all the music came from. But he isn't the type who would actually buy it. I have next to no interest in any Potter expansions outside of Williams, but as I said in another thread, that's because 4-8 do a much better job of including highlights, and not necessarily because JW's scores are better. (Although I do think HP:PS is the best of the series). I probably wouldn't be particularly craving a PoA expansion if JW had included all the highlights properly. Unlike PS and CoS where I'll keep the whole thing, I'll likely just use PoA to make a custom album. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bollemanneke 3,367 Posted October 29, 2018 Share Posted October 29, 2018 I sort of agree with that. 4 has too many short, though great, cues to make a listenable OST. 5 is a perfect standalone album and I prefer the 6 OST to the sessions because they're just dead boring. 7 and 8 have too many album versions, though.
