I had stopped because I didn't have enough time to do it before the review was published. 20 hours ago, Tallguy said: The book? @Tallguy Yes! It is the culmination of ten years of research and four years of writing. The source material comprises 400 referenced sources, including 70 exclusive interviews with directors, producers, and musicians, as well as 30 hours of recorded interviews with James Horner’s family and close associates.

bollemanneke 3,337 Posted May 23, 2022 Share Posted May 23, 2022 What OST tracks on disc 2 have content that I can't hear anywhere else? Or is the only difference the mixing? If so, is it worth listening to? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jay 37,281 Posted May 23, 2022 Author Share Posted May 23, 2022 Tracks 2, 7, 8, 9, 11, and 12 are all alternate versions that are different from the film versions on disc 1 bollemanneke 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Disco Stu 15,495 Posted May 23, 2022 Share Posted May 23, 2022 I assume he's asking if the alternates are truly different compositions or just performance/mixing differences. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bollemanneke 3,337 Posted May 24, 2022 Share Posted May 24, 2022 Listening now. Can I just say the choir is AWFUL? Flashback sounds like a first take. I genuinely do not understand why people rank this so high on their Horner lists. Bounty95 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Disco Stu 15,495 Posted May 24, 2022 Share Posted May 24, 2022 To no one's surprise, I enjoy the Americana aspects of the score, but I must admit I prefer the Copland inspired "Call to Arms" theme in its solo trumpet setting to the boys choir. bollemanneke 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I genuinely do not understand why people rank this so high on their Horner lists. That's the cue they couldn't find the film take for, so it's very likely the takes they did have pales compared to what Horner decided on for the final product. Since I recently decided to order the set, I had messed around with isolating it from the source track its wedged in-between on the isolated score. It's a bit of a mixed bag, since while the ending ends cleanly enough in one of the AI algorithms I used, the beginning never managed to fully isolate (one of the attempts just straight up cutting to when there's no instruments at all). So I guess I'd have to use one of the takes on the LLL set to fill the hole there (assuming it's even similar enough to line up properly). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bollemanneke 3,337 Posted May 24, 2022 Share Posted May 24, 2022 How do you know that about it not being the proper take? Interesting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HunterTech 987 Posted May 24, 2022 Share Posted May 24, 2022 Hmmm, I think I might've mixed tracks up, looking at this: Yup, I believe this was something I completely misunderstood then, since I only remembered the detail of it being a cue that was mixed with a source cue on the iso. Guess I never bothered to double check til now (that it's Worth A Life and not Flashback). bollemanneke 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Jay 37,281 Posted June 17, 2022 Author Popular Post Share Posted June 17, 2022 This is one of my favorite releases of last year, and I love that it's a score I never really listened to before the expansion came out, but now is easily in my top 10 Horner scores. Anybody else listening to this album a lot? OneBuckFilms, Tom Guernsey and Trope 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Jay 37,281 Posted July 8, 2022 Author Popular Post Share Posted July 8, 2022 This week I took the shrinkwrap off my physical copy and listened to my physical discs. Hoo boy, I had somehow forgotten how much of an impact this score has on me. That main emotional theme is so, well, emotional, it gets me every time. At some point listening to this I realized what one of my favorite niches of film scores. That is scores like this, that have this big strong emotional hook, but its only part of a larger score with a lot of other aspects. What I mean is this score has all the action music, the militaristic stuff, the Americana stuff, etc etc, and having all that makes the emotional statements stand out even more. This is as opposed to a score that sort of stays in one mode for most of it. It's the "sneaking in" of emotional stuff among other stuff that really works for me a lot. I love this score! I also realized when I opened it up that I hadn't actually seen the booklet yet, so I'm looking forward to reading that this weekend!

filmmusic 1,823 Posted March 13, 2023 Share Posted March 13, 2023 I'm trying to follow this edition with the Omni publication. I see many bars that are written in the Omni, aren't in the LLL edition. Does that mean they were not recorded? example: 1m4R Flashback LLL has only bars 10-21 (1-9, 21-end are omitted) bollemanneke 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
