Richard Penna 3,676 Posted October 5, 2020 Share Posted October 5, 2020 Ordered. Annoying being away when stuff like this is announced.

Smaug The Iron 510 Posted October 5, 2020 Author Share Posted October 5, 2020 Does it matter if I ordered it on the US site or the international site?

bruce marshall 1,315 Posted October 5, 2020 Share Posted October 5, 2020 Here is the FYC I refer too. According to the site it was for an eight track version. Taken from " Art of..." boom.

The Dark Trilogy 39 Posted October 5, 2020 Share Posted October 5, 2020 There is also a FYC 3-disc version. The first two discs with the complete score and the third disc with the song. This is the version I own. Here are the pictures: In a HTTYD fan forum, a user explained that the two disc version is only a upcovert from mp3. Maybe from the FYC site. But it is possible that he bought a fake one. I don't know. But he claims the one disc version and the eventuelly the three disc version is lossless. I like this version, because of the absence of the song. On the newly released deluxe edition I would skip that track. And in FSM one guy stated the FYC is not mixed to loud if you compared to the OST. Can anyone confirm this issue?

I posted some WOTW art which would make nice covers! HTTYD is poorly served by facsimiles of the film characters. More abstract, artistic images are more fitting for such a great score and film.
