Popular Post MainTitle 37 Posted December 7, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted December 7, 2019 I thought this thread was about the new Disaster Movie Soundtrack Collection but it's skewed off into a new tangent about the merits of Indy 4. How about we get back on topic guys? So looking forward to this collection. Clearly LLL has hit a major home run with this release as nobody saw this coming. With some absolutely stunning releases this year alone (ie. Superman the Movie) it's no wonder La-La Land was awarded Record Label of the Year! Without a doubt this John Williams collection is one of the biggest releases of the year that is guaranteed to make many fans happy indeed. As usual LLL has topped themselves which is becoming a habit for them. I know I'm pumped and can't wait to hear what all of you think of these restorations once they start shipping. 12-Mile Reef, MikeH and Bryant Burnette 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it really straddles the boundary between them stylistically overall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arpy 4,145 Posted December 7, 2019 Share Posted December 7, 2019 I would say the change in style was gradual since the 80s - Nixon is probably one of those scores which in my mind is where Williams shifted into the moodier, darker palette he would bring in the 2000s onwards. Is there one score which represents a major shift between his style? **** On topic, I like the three graphics for the films, back when there was some serious consideration given to the design of something like a movie title. Nowadays it's very conservative. However, from a logical design perspective for the package, shouldn't Poseidon Adventure be in the middle, with Earthquake where it is and Towering Inferno at the top to represent the skyscraper? Just nitpicking! Yavar Moradi and MainTitle 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
