Because there was the version used at the beginning of the film that had strings and then there's album version used in the end credits. And there's the instrumental over Hiccup's speech at the end. scallenger 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scallenger 483 Posted December 4, 2021 Share Posted December 4, 2021 Yeppp. That was why I had to ask! It's kind of like how "Adventures Of Han" was left off the Deluxe Edition of "Solo"; I felt something similar could have happened here. Btw this is what he said "yes" to: Quote So excited for the deluxe edition! One if my favorite scores of all time! Question: Will it include the film versions of "Where No One Goes"? I love the fun exciting extension to the ending of the version in the opening of the film, and also the instrumental intro leading into the end credits version! I may have been a bit wordy, I was tired but excited, haha. I think another reason why I felt they may not be included is because essentially to be "complete" you'd have to have a whopping THREE versions: the two used in the film and the album version. I think if a composer less interested in this kind of release had been involved, or same with the label, they would have just stuck with the album version. Now, if he does end up omitting the album version, I wouldn't be surprised or miffed at all since we of course already have it. Basically the album version is the song as heard in the opening of the film (sans some extra instrumental flourishes from the film mix, if I am not mistaken) but without the exciting orchestral ending when Toothless crashes. The album's version of the ending however is also heard in the end credits version. But who knows, perhaps the album version may still be included, which would be nice!

Don't see why THW has to be 'eventually' though... for a score recorded only a few years ago it can't be that much work to deluxify it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jay 37,364 Posted December 9, 2021 Author Share Posted December 9, 2021 Maybe he think it makes the most financial sense to release these 1 per year to give each a chance to sell well Plus I'm sure there'll be an omni book released at the same time, and those take a while to make happen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Faleel 5,348 Posted December 9, 2021 Share Posted December 9, 2021 Well, the HTTYD2 DE and book have to come out first, and omni (I would assume ) would have to work on a book for 3 (not to mention any other projects JP might be involved with) So, demos that are out there: Dragon Races Where No One Goes Together We Map the World Drago's Coming Flying With Mother Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But does it explicitly state that is going to be the case? Because all the talk on JP's social feed has been about the book and not the album, so I'm not sure if he's maybe waiting until tomorrow to fully confirm it.

Jay 37,364 Posted March 10, 2022 Author Share Posted March 10, 2022 Back Lot Records owns the rights to both sequel scores, since Relativity's contract for 2 expired when they went bankrupt, and they released 3 in the first place.

Richard Penna 3,689 Posted March 10, 2022 Share Posted March 10, 2022 I was hoping it would appear on Spotify tomorrow to tide us over. Hmmm. Also wonder whether it will contain the instrumental of the entire 'courting' track on the OST, where it would be nice to hear the music without the manic vocals. The FYC promo only has the first bit. I actually think #3 is the best produced album of the three, and I haven't seen the film so I don't know what's missing.

I don’t think Hidden World is missing much and certainly nothing critical missing from what I recall. Just a few more incidental cues. Think it benefits from the several longer set pieces cues which all appear in their entirety (Third date, exodus, the waterfall sequence and the exceptional finale cue).

JNHFan2000 2,961 Posted March 10, 2022 Share Posted March 10, 2022 I think the biggest thing from the 3rd score that's missing is the cue before the Armada Battle when Toothless is captured.

Disco Stu 15,495 Posted March 11, 2022 Share Posted March 11, 2022 Demos were way more interesting in the years before orchestral samples got so sophisticated. Like hearing Elfman's demos for the 80s/90s scores in the Burton box was fascinating. Nowadays they just sound like the final cue but kinda crappy. mstrox 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
