There's only so much of that crap a viewer can take, let alone one film composer who has to cook up new and original music for it every time. You people view Williams like he's your little plaything! He will have scored 9 Star Wars movies this winter. And 7 of those don't even touch the quality of the Potter movies. So, your point is ...?

Holko 9,526 Posted September 20, 2019 Share Posted September 20, 2019 I do love just looking at the thing. Inside, outside, flipping through the booklet. I mostly play my "enhanced" playlists (to different degrees - Stone pretty much only has the transitional Halloween tracking recreated and Neville Stiffens blown apart and placed in the intended places, Chamber has all tracking recreated, some alternates swapped with main program versions and Flying Car edit somewhat corrected, my Azkaban is a mess but works for me - plus a separate album for all the concert pieces and remaining extras).

crumbs 14,316 Posted September 21, 2019 Share Posted September 21, 2019 It's a little strange there weren't tick-free alternates on disc 2, ala the synth-free alternates on the Titanic set, but it's also no huge surprise. We got no isolated percussion tracks on the TLW set either, and that would have been a fantastic inclusion (considering we already heard fragments of the isolated percussion from the theme park speakers).

Holko 9,526 Posted September 21, 2019 Share Posted September 21, 2019 Trouble is fine, separable enough. I just go along with the latter, Map to Snow Scene is a fine transition and Up the Stairs is indistinguishable where it is, like an extended opening that was later cut off.

bollemanneke 3,348 Posted September 21, 2019 Share Posted September 21, 2019 How do you get a clean harpsichord intro to Double Trouble March? I agree that the broomsticks cue works perfectly, it's just not chronological. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I'm certain there's a recording of that background music featuring some of the heavier percussion sections in isolation (I think it was the percussion from The Hunt minus the rest of the orchestra). Was years ago though, I could be mistaken. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

crumbs 14,316 Posted September 21, 2019 Share Posted September 21, 2019 The only really bad crossfade is the Three Broomsticks one because it's not even chronological and makes it really hard to create a custom edit with cues in the correct order. The clunky Flying Car edit is probably worse though, just because it sounds so weird. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bilbo 3,709 Posted September 28, 2019 Share Posted September 28, 2019 Have LLL commented on the other 5 scores yet? It would seem strange for WB to license just three of them and not all of them.

I don't think it's that straightforward. There's so many factors in releasing 3 scores done by the same composer, let alone 8 scores by multiple composers with hundreds of different musicians. The music ownership changed between films 5 and 6 just to complicate things further. Mike talked about that last year, when pressed on expanding the remaining scores. He said the logical option is to release each film based on the composer who scored them (so a box set each for Doyle, Hooper and Desplat) but the Hooper one is problematic due to the music ownership changing after film 5. The Warner/Sunset label had the mechanical rights for the first 5 scores (so theoretically Doyle's score is relatively straightforward to release) but it switched to New Line for 6 then WaterTower for 7/8. Worst case scenario is just to split the Hooper box in half. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Edmilson 7,457 Posted September 29, 2019 Share Posted September 29, 2019 Desplat's Potters leaked a few years ago, if you're intesrested in listening to his unreleased music that's not on the OSTs. But still an expanded set would be nice, because the leak of DH1 is an epic mess - A LOT of alternates, lots and lots of small cues... I don't care about Hooper. Does his scores have that much (important) unreleased music? I remember his HFB OST being quite comprehensive. But I would like an expansion of Doyle's GOF and, of course, James Newton Howard's Fantastic Beasts 1 and 2 - but those two, unfortunately for me, won't happen for a while.

Richard Penna 3,690 Posted September 29, 2019 Share Posted September 29, 2019 The only expansion I'd even consider would be Doyle's. It feels the least 'Potter' of all the scores to me, but it has a personality which I rather like. And it's got nothing to do with JW's scores being better, but simply due to Hooper's and Desplat's being better represented on album. I can't think of a single unreleased cue I want from any of those. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
