gkgyver 1,645 Posted October 14, 2020 Share Posted October 14, 2020 2 hours ago, Albus Percival Wulfric said: I wonder if the hearing of the March of the Resistance in so many different pieces both by Williams and not is a microcosm of people hearing Williams' Star Wars music in every other piece of music. The success of such gem pieces in creating a stream of impressions that appears continuous, which results in their very strong identity (-> memorability), comes about because every single element of their construction is "logically" meaningful, so the memory of their identity is retained even in reaction to the smallest of parts. Each of these very salient elements can independently be guess-recalled as "relevant" in response to an encounter with a real or illusionary musical ancestor. "You're a lucky man, Leonard" "How so?" "You're talking to one of three men in the Western hemisphere capable of following that train of thought." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Omen II 1,235 Posted October 14, 2020 Share Posted October 14, 2020 "They're already here!" My 2-CD set of War of the Worlds, I mean. See what I did there? My CD set arrived today and was waiting for me when I got home from work, well packaged by Intrada in a little box with some of those polystyrene things that look like anaemic Wotsits. I will never forget the date when the OST CD arrived in the post - 7th July 2005. Thankfully the day the expanded set arrived has been much less eventful and stressful so far! crocodile and Taikomochi 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did your set ship last Tuesday? Did you get any tracking updates at all? Just curious because I've had no updates since last Wednesday. I'm getting bit impatient now. Speaking of original album, I remember getting the CD on the same day I saw the movie in July 2005. Must have been the opening day or not long after that.

Just curious because I've had no updates since last Wednesday. I ordered it at precisely 17:25 on Tuesday 6th October, but I have no idea when it shipped. My Intrada online account still has my old email address, so if any order confirmation or tracking updates were sent out, I would not have received any of them. I realised this half way through ordering but because I was still at work at the time I couldn't be arsed to change it, settling with taking a photo of the order confirmation screen Bruce Marshall-stylee in case I needed the order number at a later date.

12-Mile Reef 123 Posted October 16, 2020 Share Posted October 16, 2020 At FSM a number of people have reported a defective disc 1 with what appears to be a scratch on the outer edge of the disc that causes the final few tracks to be unplayable. Upon reading this I opened mine to discover that unfortunately I had the same issue so I've contacted Intrada for a replacement. My copy had been sitting unopened since it arrived in Monday (I ordered 5 cds and was saving this one for last) so if anyone hasn't checked their copy yet I would recommend they open it and take a look.

crumbs 14,301 Posted October 16, 2020 Share Posted October 16, 2020 It looks more like damaged stock than a manufacturing defect, but I'm no expert on the process of printing CDs. I thought 79+ minutes discs just didn't play on certain older CD players, not that they possibly introduced defects. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post crocodile 7,984 Posted October 16, 2020 Author Popular Post Share Posted October 16, 2020 From the moment the CDs arrived, were played, ripped onto our harddrives, they were doomed. They were undone, destroyed, after all of man's optical drives and devices had failed, by the tiniest scratches that plant workers in their wisdom put upon disc surfaces.

Mark C. 0 Posted October 17, 2020 Share Posted October 17, 2020 Hi Guys! Long time reader, first post (about time I joined). Also having the same issues with ripping the last few tracks of CD 1. Also had issues with The Rocketeer as others commented on that thread. Importantly the discs themselves play fine so it's my crappy disc drive. My own fault for not listening to the actual CD I suppose! Really enjoying this release though - thank you Matessino (yet again!) and Intrada.
