I'm not surprised there is a bit of defensiveness in your response to my response but I appreciate you wanting to dialogue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drew 590 Posted July 15, 2019 Share Posted July 15, 2019 He should make "The Last Crusade" sound like Dan Wallin was never involved with the recording. Enough said. Also, is there anywhere I can listen to the original TLC OST before the 2008 set was released? I heard that it sounds way different. crumbs 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crumbs 14,317 Posted July 15, 2019 Share Posted July 15, 2019 I really can't relate to any opinion that thinks TLC sounds good, in any universe. It's a murky recording and flat mix, easily the worst in the series (and it's especially noticeable after its two brilliantly recorded predecessors). Even though it's a very different score, much of that trademark Indy sparkle is lost, drowned out by the muddy brass. Frankly, it sounds borderline monaural. Not that KOTCS is much better, but at least it doesn't like the score was recorded to a tape cassette. I would have no qualms whatsoever with Mike going back to the multi-tracks (if they exist) and re-mixing the score with improved sonics, but I doubt it'll happen. I think the recording itself is the main culprit and nothing can fix that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Holko 9,526 Posted July 15, 2019 Share Posted July 15, 2019 I know the sound of the toilet bowl bootleg well, but when I listen out for the cues in the film, they don't all sound... that much better. crumbs 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Bellosh 3,419 Posted July 15, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted July 15, 2019 I can still remember November 2008 like it was yesterday. I got out of work, went home, grabbed the Concord Set, hopped back in my car and went for a 3-4 hour drive while listening to it all. Playing tracks on repeat most of the time. Just in absolute pure joy as to what I was listening to. Bespin, Cerebral Cortex, Pieter Boelen and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can basically recite it now. "I got to know and work with Johnny Williams on Star Wars cause Steven who recommended him. And it was great you know, you know that was the best part about making the movie for me was going to the scoring sessions, cause I didn't have to do anything. Cause with Johnny it's just fantastic. Going to the scoring sessions was like watching the movie get made. I'm working with the greatest composer, who everything he does is brilliant, and the greatest director, who everything he does is brilliant and a great writer, everything he does is brilliant. I didn't have to anything I just sorta sit around and said this is fantastic! Cause you know it really was!

Richard Penna 3,694 Posted April 2, 2021 Share Posted April 2, 2021 'Discussed but not in the works right now' has to be one of the most frustrating and patronising states of affairs for a landmark JW score. (patronising on Disney's part, of course, not MM) Unless they're waiting for a mythical 5th movie to come out and tie in with complete versions... what on earth are they waiting for? The only situation I can fathom is either Disney insists on doing it themselves but has other priorities (in which case they need to pull their heads out of their asses and let a speciality label do it), or JW for some reason doesn't want them expanded further.

Surely a question of "when" and not "if" I actually think it bodes well for the potential of JW scoring Indy 5. Maybe the discussion centred around holding off on an Indy box until Williams finished the final Indy score. What I don't understand is if Disney isn't interested, why not just license it out to Intrada? So hopefully the decision came from JW/his team and they're just holding off until Indy 5.

Popular Post Bayesian 1,363 Posted April 3, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted April 3, 2021 I’m not an economist, but my understanding is that a dollar available today is worth more than a dollar promised tomorrow. The people who buy soundtrack expansions probably skew older than the rest of the population and for sure the people for whom Indy and OT Star Wars form a strong nostalgic connection are older than the rest of the population. And with nostalgia running huge in this generally shitty era, a smart company should recognize there is no better time than now to sell older people things that reminds them of better days—things like these expanded soundtracks. Honestly, what the fuck is keeping these scores from being expanded? Spite? Total ignorance of the content they have stored in some stupid vault in Burbank or wherever? Indifference? If it’s not that, then what better time are they waiting for? Disney, if you’re reading this, pull the damn trigger already. The stars are aligned to get the job done right, and they ain’t staying aligned forever. Charge whatever you want for these—you know we will pay it. We’ll skip our fucking rent if we need to, but we’ll pay it, and if you don’t know that, you’re more clueless than we feared. Otherwise, we’re going to have to start a Twitter campaign or something to shame you into doing this, since it’s probably the only thing you’ll respond to.

Someone did mention this when I told them, and my response was “I feel like that’s one thing he gets asked about a lot since it’s SW, and I feel like(which I could be wrong)he might not be asked about Indy as much”. But also, Manakin Skywalker pointed out that even if he was working on it, he couldn’t tell us, since he’s bound by a contract. Chewy 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
