It's all 16/44.1. The Facebook post is worded poorly. The actual links never say "high res", just "Downloads include choice of MP3, WAV, or FLAC"

Yep, seems like a fail on Varese's part.  Just saw this comment on their Facebook announcement...

 

[1977 1,743]

This one is actually Backlot/Universal but was a prior V/S release of course.

 

The ‘Burbs: DE

 

 

[Raiders of the SoundtrArk 2,433]

Just add it to the main post. Thanks @JTWfan77 for helping me to keep the thread updated

I've decided to hide the spotify links because the page was loading kind of slowly, now it should be easier

[1977 1,743]

@May the Force be with You how do you hide the Spotify links?

[Raiders of the SoundtrArk 2,433]

Just use a spoiler and past them

[mstrox 6,651]

The Burbs:  the one Jerry score I actually wanted to buy.  Slick!

[Jay 37,346]

You don't have to use spoiler blocks. 

 

There are two alternatives. 

 

One is that after you paste a Spotify link in and it turns it into an embed, simply click the bar that shows up at the bottom of the text editor that says "Your link has been automatically embedded.   Display as a link instead" and that will undo the embed and make it a plain link. 

 

Two is to simply click the link icon (the chain link image) in the top of the text editor and paste the link into that popup box and then click "insert into post", and it will go into the post directly as a link without ever attempting to convert to an embed. 

[Raiders of the SoundtrArk 2,433]

Thanks @Jay I'll modify it later. Simple links will be better than those huge spotify display

[Raiders of the SoundtrArk 2,433]

Two new additions to the main post:

 

John Powell's Paycheck (Deluxe Edition)

And Marco Beltrami's Knowing (Deluxe Edition)

 

[Raiders of the SoundtrArk 2,433]

Another new outstanding addition:

 

John Williams' The Cowboys (Deluxe Edition)

@Jayhow does one delete the original non-spoilered embeds? I also have this problem when I erroneously quote someone and want to remove it. Thanks

Maybe we should create similar threads for Quartet, BuySoundtrax and LLL?

Great adds, I was waiting for them for a while now thanks for the remain I'll add them to the main post

 

I was hovering about doing one for Quartet, not really familliar with the Buy Soundtrax releases though and I've already done one for LLL right here

 

So four new adds to the main post:

 

Two tracks from the single of the future digital release of the Crow (The Deluxe Edition):

 

and three new Basil Poledouris entry (link above thanks to @JTWfan77)

[Raiders of the SoundtrArk 2,433]

One new add and it's without surprise The Crow (The Deluxe Edition)

Spoiler

 

 

[Richard Penna 3,683]

I wonder whether The Crow's digital release was easier to sort than most, given how quickly it appeared in relation to the CD?

 

I massively appreciate that Varese does digital versions for most of their DEs, but there always seems to be a delay of roughly a batch, i.e. when the next two titles come out on CD, the last batch's digital release is around that time. Is this due to more complex licensing for digital releases which takes time to sort, or a period to focus just on CD sales?

 

I fully appreciate that possibly no one here knows the answer... I'm pondering out loud. I bought Dreamcatcher after hearing the entire score on Spotify. An ideal world (which again, is not always possible) would see new DEs on Spotify at the same time to temporarily satisfy shipping waits, and allow potential buyers a chance to listen first.

[Raiders of the SoundtrArk 2,433]

Totally agree with you, I know that I wouldn't have think to buy Paycheck if I hadn't listen to it first

 

By the way I think that if The Crow came that fast it's because it already had been release in vinyl before, but that's just speculations

Let this be a shining testament to why music streaming is good, especially for film scores!

Source view if highlighting doesn't work

[Raiders of the SoundtrArk 2,433]

Still no sign of Love Field from Goldsmith but an old OOP expansion just reappered for our great pleasure:

Executive Decision (The Deluxe Edition)

[bruce marshall 1,315]

I sampled ON THE BEACH( 2000)which led me to purchase the CD.

Really excellent!

There's still hope for The Abyss: DE and Predator 2: DE and Starship Troopers: DE then!!

[Raiders of the SoundtrArk 2,433]

Don't forget Chain Reaction

 

I've just finished to update the main post, it now also contains the youtube link for those who prefer to listen to it this way and the release date of each movies/series. The Intrada thread will get the same treatment later, same for LLL and Quartet when I'll have more time.

[Jay 37,346]

Your youtube link for Matrix Complete accidentally points to Matrix Deluxe

 

Also, not sure if this may interest you or not, but I recently learned that if you change the "www" in a youtube URL to "music", you get a much better, more music-focused interface

 

IE

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=88wUbkRo2jk&list=OLAK5uy_mxxh06xj22NkBLpsG0K_TEmLJ2G-_Hw7k

vs

https://music.youtube.com/watch?v=88wUbkRo2jk&list=OLAK5uy_mxxh06xj22NkBLpsG0K_TEmLJ2G-_Hw7k

 

And if you click on albums in that interface, you get a better URL that links to the album without auto-starting the first track:

[Disco Stu 15,495]

I'm a Youtube Music paid subscriber as my music streamer of choice.  Mostly because it includes ad-free Youtube overall, which IMO is a pretty good bargain.

[Jay 37,346]

Yea youtube ads suck

Fixed, thanks for noticing this.

 

Didn't know about the "music" trick, I don't mind the usual presentation but this one is kinda interresting

 

Also one new addition:

Fedora (Varèse Encore) by Miklós Rózsa (youtube link)

 

[Raiders of the SoundtrArk 2,433]

Two news additions with the Scream scores:

• Scream (2022) by Brian Tyler (youtube link)
• Scream (6-CD Boxset) by Marco Beltrami (youtube link)

[Raiders of the SoundtrArk 2,433]

New addition:

• The Iron Giant by Michael Kamen (youtube link)

[bruce marshall 1,315]

HOOPLA has DEs!😁

[Raiders of the SoundtrArk 2,433]

New addition:

• How to Train Your Dragon 2 by John Powell (youtube link)

Damn that's so good

[mstrox 6,651]

It wasn’t worth the CD price to me, but I picked it up digitally for ten bucks.  Glad for the option.

[Raiders of the SoundtrArk 2,433]

New addition (and a great one if I may):

• The Bourne Identity (Tumescent Edition) by John Powell (youtube link)

[Smeltington 1,438]

Nice!! I was hoping this would happen, so I can buy it legally and make my own edit (and not end up with a CD that I never play, due to the various issues). Looks like 7digital is the cheapest lossless download, at least in the US, at $20.49:

Not seeing it in high-res so far.

I just noticed this today and gave it a listen on Spotify...'fraid it gave me a headache. I enjoy Supremacy and Ultimatum but this one I just don't get.

[Raiders of the SoundtrArk 2,433]

I've only succeed to get into it recently so I don't blame you for that, I find it less easy to listen to it than the two sequels

[thestat 348]

Powell's first Bourne is probably more interesting as a historical document of a specific time (and the billion things its action music influenced) than as a score one would or could listen to nowadays. The third one does all the same stuff but with much more finesse. A bit like the ways Evolution sounds a bit amateurish in its handle on the orchestra etc.

[Richard Penna 3,683]

Given we're a year on, looks like Love Field and Dante's Peak aren't getting digital releases for whatever reason. I'm assuming that the Varese guys would like to make everything available that they can so there must be some issue... oh well.

Yes, it's puzzling. I also note that the only Fox title that got a digital revisit was Volcano: DE, so it seems Abyss, Die Hard 2, Enemy Mine, Predator 2, Chain Reaction and other Fox titles are gone for good for those that aren't willing to shell out a house payment to get them.

[Jay 37,346]

Starship Troopers is also unavailable on streaming services - the OST and the DE

 

I have no idea why

[Raiders of the SoundtrArk 2,433]

New addition:

• Rudy by Jerry Goldsmith (youtube link)

[Raiders of the SoundtrArk 2,433]

New additions:

• L.A. Confidential by Jerry Goldsmith (youtube link)

[Raiders of the SoundtrArk 2,433]

New addition:

• The Time Machine by Klaus Badelt (youtube link)

[1977 1,743]

Also, Joe vs the Volcano is no longer available to stream or download.

[thestat 348]

What is up with Love FIeld? I keep awaiting that to pop up....everything else is out but not this, nor Chain Reaction....Is it a studio thing perhaps?

Probably, or just has to do with the specific “fine print” of Varese’s original perpetuity deals from the 90s. Remember their Silvestri batch released last year, with DEs of Death Becomes Her and Tomb Raider 2 released on CD at the same time? The latter was also released (simultaneously!) for streaming, while the former still hasn’t been (and also the CD edition of it sold out in a matter of months!)

A lot of the earlier Fox titles have not been released digitally, only Volcano for some reason was made available. I keep hoping for a digital release of The Abyss DE.

[Richard Penna 3,683]

I used to think that all their digital releases essentially lagged by a batch but once we were into early 2022 it started to be clear that Love Field and Dante's Peak weren't coming, so evidentally they can't do unlimited digital/streaming for all their club releases.

 

And that's a real shame as I see it as a way for those albums to live on after the CD pressings have sold out and the collectors have had their fill. To think that once Dante's Peak sells out, the only product available to buy, once again, is the horror show of an OST.
