bollemanneke 3,352 Posted October 12, 2019 Share Posted October 12, 2019 Aww, don't encourage them! Say what you want, but Ross instilled a level of liveliness and enthusiasm in COS that Stone really lacks. Ricard 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Especially after listening to the expanded LLL master: a lot of iterations of the Chamber theme were missing from the OST. It's a really enjoyable score, and it made me wish the POA soundtrack (which I love) had more old themes intertwined with the new ones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jay 37,378 Posted October 12, 2019 Author Share Posted October 12, 2019 I'll never understand why they didn't put any of the development of the Chamber theme on the original COS OST. It's essential to the score! bollemanneke 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I immediately fell in love with the Chamber theme, and I was so disappointed when I couldn't find it anywhere else in the soundtrack.

Edmilson 7,474 Posted October 13, 2019 Share Posted October 13, 2019 I've always loved the Chamber theme. It's less directly evil than Voldy's themes, but more mysterious and enigmatic. It works perfectly addressing the mystery of the Chamber that the boys have to resolve, and because of that is much more frightening. It's also a little similar to the kryptonite theme from Superman, lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bollemanneke 3,352 Posted October 13, 2019 Share Posted October 13, 2019 Just looked at the OST tracklist, you really might be right about the chamber theme not appearing anywhere else. Totally absurd. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Holko 9,532 Posted October 13, 2019 Share Posted October 13, 2019 From my analysis thing I count 9 proper (maybe not complete) statements plus some more traces of it outside of the concert arrangement. He had plenty to choose from! I love how relatively alien the big bombastic concert pieces are in comparison to the sparse Fawkes or Dobby, or the usually low-profile Chamber appearances. It's like he felt they would never be used again so he went out of his way to show their full potential they were never allowed to reach inside the score! redishere 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arpy 4,145 Posted October 13, 2019 Share Posted October 13, 2019 Fawkes and the Chamber themes get a lovely workout in Duelling the Basilisk, one of my favourite cues! The versatility of Fawkes' theme is such that it would've made a great theme for Dumbledore later on. igger6 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Totally absurd. Okay, so that wasn't just my blurred memory of the OST! It really is weird: they cut almost every statement of a theme named like the movie itself. I'm trying to imagine what would become of other soundtracks if they kept the main theme out of the tracklist. POA without the Double Trouble motif would probably just be Hedwig's Theme Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tim Chaten 0 Posted November 2, 2019 Share Posted November 2, 2019 I missed out on the first printing, it looks like it is not available, but not sold out. Does anyone know when we should expect LaLaLand to do another printing? It looks like Silver Screen says they’ll have more in December; so maybe that’s a good guess?

I can only see it being fixed on the potential solo release, based on some of the info that I've heard in the past. While I still think it's a really crappy thing for something you're paying $100+ for, I've grown to get past it. Already made the edits replacing it with parts from the OST. Besides, it really means little if its inaudible to even the ears of an audiophile. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard Penna 3,696 Posted November 13, 2019 Share Posted November 13, 2019 Aren't the cutoffs of this sort basically inaudible to humans? If the problem were more prominent, such as like the lossy first issue of Thomas Bergersen's American Dream, which was a huge screw-up, then for a £100 box it would be unacceptable, but for something that we can't even hear it's easily let go.

redishere 697 Posted November 13, 2019 Share Posted November 13, 2019 I compared those tracks with the OST and I honestly couldn't tell the difference. Is it because hearing loss in adult males usually cuts frequencies above 15khz? I don't know. God: "Here's a hearing problem you'll get when you're middle aged." Me: "But why?"
