Holko 9,526 Posted August 23, 2019 Share Posted August 23, 2019 Surely at least until this set sells out and then some. On 8/19/2019 at 11:46 AM, Brundlefly said: Beneath the Planet of the Apes. It is a real chore to listen to and I had the impression that it was an attempt to recreate the weird character of the first score, but it ended up in little more than a stack of weirdness. Well, the same thing could be said about the movie trying to recapture the first one without any of the depth, so... perfect scoring? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Five Tones 302 Posted August 27, 2019 Share Posted August 27, 2019 Finished listening to the set. Planet is still head and shoulders and maybe knees and toes above the other scores, but of those, Battle I find the most compelling, right through to the saga closure of that final brass pyramid. Maybe it's at the other end of the budget spectrum from Planet, but Rosenman found a way to give it some real character and bite. Escape's Main Title is classic Goldsmith down to the octatonic sound, perhaps suggesting that modern day Earth isn't going to be any less dystopic than anywhere else in the franchise or the genre of the period. I can't say much about the rest of that score. Beneath doesn't truly come to life for me other than the unforgettably vivid choral harmonies which everyone loves to hate while I genuinely... um, hate love. And that said, I'd never heard the wacked album versions of Beneath which are fun and certainly good for a healthy laugh here and there. It's worth it for me to remember none of this was created to be listened to out of context - it was intended to enhance or promote the sci-fi nature of the visual story and it did (still does?) that effectively. I'm grateful to be able to experience the complete set of scores in a definitive presentation. TheUlyssesian and Yavar Moradi 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Naïve Old Fart 9,523 Posted October 16, 2019 Share Posted October 16, 2019 I know I'm a little late to the party, but oh...my...effing...good...grief! These POTA samples are brilliant!!!! They make the entire orchestra come alive, and allow the percussion to really breathe and move. I kind of knew what to expect from the other four scores, as they already sounded great in 5.1, but this is stupendous! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jay 37,355 Posted October 17, 2019 Author Share Posted October 17, 2019 It's amazing what Mike was able to do, indeed.

Jay 37,355 Posted October 17, 2019 Author Share Posted October 17, 2019 I suppose maybe that's part of it, yea. I guess it's also a score that's been available in complete form for 20 years, the only thing "new" here are overlays that weren't mixed into the cues on the older releases, but no actual missing developments of any themes or anything.

Yavar Moradi 2,599 Posted October 17, 2019 Share Posted October 17, 2019 Yeah but not nearly as good as the original score Some people just aren't eager to spent $80 (including shipping) on a big box set when there's really just one score in the set they care about.

crocodile 8,012 Posted October 17, 2019 Share Posted October 17, 2019 I think you could make a strong case for the third score. So that would make 2 out of 5. Karol Yavar Moradi 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I definitely noticed some people doing so at the time, but at least that series is all done by one composer, and though Azkaban is quite different from the first two scores, I wouldn't necessarily say there's as wide a stylistic range as there is between the five original PotA scores.

OneBuckFilms 319 Posted December 3, 2021 Share Posted December 3, 2021 Interesting mistake at the pressing plant has led to my copy of this set to have, well... a different version of the first score... I already contacted the guys at LLLR to ask for a replacement of the first disc, since they sent me a repressing of the Varese edition with a different front face. All the other scores, booklets etc., arrived in perfect condition, and in great shape. And they sound fantastic to my ears. Ooops ...

OneBuckFilms 319 Posted December 28, 2021 Share Posted December 28, 2021 Revisiting this amusing little saga, they must have been busy, since the replacement Apes CD was not sent out, and they closed down shipping fro Christmas and New Years. This is highly unusual for La-La Land Records, as I have never had any other issues. I'm still enjoying the other scores in the set, and when the weather permits, I'm likely to use these for my lunch break walking music. The artwork and presentation of these scores is absolutley sublime, and I absolutely recommend the set for anyone who can get it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
