Popular Post Jay 37,355 Posted December 12, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted December 12, 2019 Hey Minority Report fans! Check out the latest episode of Maurizio Caschetto's great Legacy of John Williams podcast: https://thelegacyofjohnwilliams.com/2019/12/11/mike-matessino-podcast-disaster-soundtrack-collection/ Despite being titled after the Disaster Collection, it actually contains discussion this year's Monsignor and Minority Report expansions as well! The discussion is all peppered with nice lengthy selections from all the new albums as well, so if you were looking to hear more of how the new MR album sounds before purchasing, here's your place to do so! The Minority Report portion of the episode runs from around 27:30 until around 44:30 and in addition to some great clips, you can hear Mike talk about the crazy process he had to go through just to make this release happen after Nick Redman passed away just as Disney was acquiring Fox, how he heard the 2002 digital archive and knew he'd have to transfer the 2002 analog tapes to get a much better sound than that could ever contain, how he ended up with isolated multi-track mixes of the orchestra, synth, vocals, and percussion and married them together for the new mix as he recreated all the performance edits, and lots more!

rough cut 1,714 Posted December 13, 2019 Share Posted December 13, 2019 I need to listen to this properly. I never owned the OST. Had barely even heard “A New Beginning” - any less anything else from the score - outside of a compilation of JW music done by The Prague Philharmonic. So my connection to the score was minute, if anything at all. Upon arrival, I was excited, I prepped myself for “listening mode”, sat down, relaxed, music flowing, had a smoke, all circumstances were as good as can be, but I ended up just listening to the first disc..

Jay 37,355 Posted December 13, 2019 Share Posted December 13, 2019 All the best cues are on the first disc, IMO. However, you haven't heard the completion of the musical narrative JW constructed until you finish the main program. Disco Stu 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Disco Stu 15,495 Posted December 13, 2019 Author Share Posted December 13, 2019 Good golly I love this score. I haven't been listening as much lately, my attention wandered, but I was listening to at least sections every day for a while there. It certainly helps that I love the film too. This is one of those scores that's really enriched by understanding the choices that Williams was making dramatically, what he was responding to.

Jay 37,355 Posted December 13, 2019 Share Posted December 13, 2019 I really enjoyed listening to Maurizio, Mike, and Tim talk about the film in the podcast, and in particular about how masterfully Williams wrote a theme for Sean that captures the grief of losing him, but also contains a hint of optimism that things will be OK.

Disco Stu 15,495 Posted December 13, 2019 Author Share Posted December 13, 2019 The A New Beginning theme builds off that too I think. It's still touched by grief, but the colors of optimism are even more pronounced. Which makes sense given where the Andertons and the Precogs are at the end of the film. Forever affected by their hardships, but with hope to look forward to. It's a beautiful ending! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luke Skywalker 1,795 Posted March 9, 2020 Share Posted March 9, 2020 Hi there...is it just mine...or does the back cover In this release look really cheap, as in too big for the jewel case and therefore the paper makes waves?

Jay 37,355 Posted March 11, 2020 Share Posted March 11, 2020 I feel like this release didn't generate a lot of discussion about the actual music content. Now that everyone's had almost half a year with it, what do people think? Did the new presentation change your mind if all you'd heard before was the OST? If you'd heard the leak, do you appreciate the new mastering and additional music that wasn't on that? Has your estimation of the score gone up or down on your list of all Williams scores after hearing this? I'd love some thoughts! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Holko 9,526 Posted March 11, 2020 Share Posted March 11, 2020 Heard the OST once before this release, wasn't a fan. Love this one! It's the edgy teen brother of the emotional older sister that is A.I. crumbs and Jay 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crocodile 8,012 Posted March 11, 2020 Share Posted March 11, 2020 It's not really a score I would call my favourite but this release is definitely an improvement. It feels more coherent and sounds better. I find some decisions to split sequences into two tracks a bit strange from the perspective of purely musical experience but it they make some sense as far as full film score goes.

Jay 37,355 Posted March 11, 2020 Share Posted March 11, 2020 I think if you start listening and never look at the name of what track is currently playing, you don't notice that things are split up or whatever.

Holko 9,526 Posted March 11, 2020 Share Posted March 11, 2020 Spyders/Freezing Water and Sean by Agatha/Run are the two where I really felt the pause takes away from the flow and like them much more when joined. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jay 37,355 Posted March 11, 2020 Share Posted March 11, 2020 Understandable.

publicist 4,643 Posted March 11, 2020 Share Posted March 11, 2020 It's not *really* necessary, content-wise, and you need to recreate some of Williams' fiendish album edits, which are rather clever. But the sound is much better and a few of the electronic pieces are cool. So a better MR album can be created out of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The new mastering made me pay attention to the recording quality for the first time. I'd say, the new mastering is as good as it gets with that less-than-satisfying recording.

rough cut 1,714 Posted March 12, 2020 Share Posted March 12, 2020 I prefer split tracks rather than joint. Of course, there are exceptions. For example “The Catamaran Race” in Jaws 2, made up of the two tracks “Sailing” and “More Boating”. Although, still, it is nice to have them split as well.

Brundlefly 2,385 Posted March 12, 2020 Share Posted March 12, 2020 C&C programs shouldn't be designed for WAV editor geeks, but for ordinary listeners. I think, however, that it is a good idea to separate two cues, if one of them has an alternate version, so that you can easily swap out the original with the alternate. That's why I'm not a big fan of the "Forward to Time Past/Saving Buckbeak" track. I cannot just place my preferred version of "Saving Buckbeak" in the main program without double dipping the cue. bollemanneke 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Holko 9,526 Posted March 12, 2020 Share Posted March 12, 2020 Sure they could be simple recording session dumps with every cue separate but I think restoring as much of the intended and fitting flow as possible right in the package should be the priority over the 2% who will want to swap alternates and could just use an editor for that, or want to hear the semi-arbitrary splitting points on their own because it's neat. bollemanneke and Pieter Boelen 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree on that. The alternate swapping aspect is merely an exception, where I think it is okay to split cues that could have played well together. 2 hours ago, Jurassic Shark said: The optimal presentation focues on music as a separate listening experience apart from the film. Yes. That said, the Star Wars Special Editions' medleys are certainly too much and some of Intrada's releases could really have joined a few more cues.
