hirogen_alpha 0 Posted June 8, 2002 Share Posted June 8, 2002 First off, I am not here to comend or bash the shadows score, so please refrain from this also.Now: On page 260 of the Secrets of Shadows of the Empire book, it says"Some twelve final selections of Shadows highlights would be composed and prepared for recording..."Now, on the shadows CD, there are TEN tracks. Even if you count the first track as two different ones (MAIN THEME from STAR WARS and Leia's Nightmare), there is still only ELEVEN tracks.What happened to these one or two tracks? Did the author of the book simply make a typo?Thanks in advance!Also, does anyone have a scan of the shadows (book) cover without text on it? There's a small one in the secrets book, but a bigger one would be better. Riders on the Storm, THE DOORS(Love that song) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Melange 446 Posted June 8, 2002 Share Posted June 8, 2002 Riders on the Storm, THE DOORS (Love that song)I agree 100%. Really chilled out track.Do you have the Album "An american prayer" ?.

King Mark 3,631 Posted June 9, 2002 Share Posted June 9, 2002 why would they release an incomplete Shadows of the Empire C.d.It's not a soundtrack and was certainly designed for a 1 c.d. release.in any case it would be illogical.k.m. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 10,265 Posted June 9, 2002 Share Posted June 9, 2002 Perhaps Varase decided it cost to much and removed 2 tracks from the CD.It's actually possible.Stefancos- who wonders if a petition should be started. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marian Schedenig 8,191 Posted June 9, 2002 Share Posted June 9, 2002 Riders on the Storm, THE DOORS (Love that song)I agree 100%. Really chilled out track.It's great! Do you know The Doors Concerto? I usually dislike orchestra-adaptions of songs and the other way round, but this is really excellent.Marian - who still thinks it's stupid that Shadows of the Empire is marketed as a film score, when it's in fact a tone poem.

King Mark 3,631 Posted June 10, 2002 Share Posted June 10, 2002 Hmmm,Shadow of the Empire is a good album to throw in the faces of classical purists who will dismiss it as a film score and not "real" music,then tell them is was inspired by a book.k.m.

bruckhorn 105 Posted June 11, 2002 Share Posted June 11, 2002 Ugh! Maybe time will change your mind. I started out listening to soundtrack music and in learning about it lead me to Classical. That's where the goods are, guys. Listen to the opening movement to Bruckner's Fourth Symphony and trust me, you will hear something quite familliar. How about The Rite of Spring? Some of the percussion licks were referenced by Williams in Jaws.The list goes on and on. And some of these old guys did write movie scores: Prokofiev, Walton, and Vaughan-Williams. Check 'em out. If nothing else, you'll hear where Horner gets a lot of his material...Bruckhorn, who first listened to Bruckner after reading that the Star Wars score was inspired by Bruckner's Symphonies.
