Luke Skywalker 1,795 Posted December 3, 2019 Share Posted December 3, 2019 For me it's not vital, but I like to hear when John Williams takes on folk or ethnic music. He usually is a master representing the soul of each genre. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrJosh 892 Posted December 3, 2019 Share Posted December 3, 2019 I enjoy Williams' source music in general, but I view it as a bonus if it's included and not incredibly important. Perhaps someday there will be a 'John Williams source music and oddities Collection Vol 1' starting off with 4 alternate takes of the Shawm cue.

Dr. Rick 1,157 Posted December 3, 2019 Share Posted December 3, 2019 I must say, it was hard to listen to the prior releases in the past with the lower sound quality so I never really got into the scores and do not know them at all since I've never seen the movies either. It's amazing how much a difference in sound quality can change one's opinion about the quality of the score! aescalle and Mattris 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Five Tones 302 Posted December 3, 2019 Share Posted December 3, 2019 Whenever I've listened to Poseidon it's like I was still hearing the 96 kbps real audio samples ca. 1999 on that old *other* JW page (I've forgotten its name).

MikeH 768 Posted December 3, 2019 Share Posted December 3, 2019 The 1974 album tracks for Towering Inferno are a revelation. Sounds like they were remixed from the ground up with fantastic clarity. The drum kit is mixed lower in Lisolette and Harlee which is...different, but overall I never imagined I’d ever hear these tracks sound as good as this. Interested to hear from Mike M about this whole project and how it came together. Poseidon and Inferno have always felt like they were recorded very hot. Both the film and album tracks for Earthquake sound much better imho, I’d be curious to know if that’s just luck of the draw or if it had to do with the recording style/facilities at Fox vs. Universal at the time.

Yeah LLL have at least 3 sales a year so I'll be holding off for this one. I've still got releases from last year I haven't listened to yet! The samples for Inferno sound bloody fantastic though. Mike is a miracle worker! JW must be thrilled hearing his older scores in such clarity, no wonder he's personally requesting these restorations now.
