See now the scalpers how much will they be selling their cds at ebay!

 

Oh yeah, they'll fetch a pretty penny there

[Bespin 8,483]

I'M TOTALLY DISGUSTED by this news of the CD being already OOP.

Yet, the Filmtracks reviews knows none of this. It states:

Regular U.S. release. The CD and LP releases were available six weeks after the digital album.

 

Note that the CD and LP WERE available six weeks...meaning, on August 9. Only, that prediction for the future (!) is not true, sadly!

Come on, we are people who buy Saving Private Ryan from LA LA LAND RECORDS because features 2 new tracks.

 

It's currently on sale.

[Bellosh 3,419]

i'm not sure if anyone else thinks this, but whenever i see something available for pre-order like this was (excluding video games because of downloadable incentives from certain retailers---do they even still do this?)

 

I always assume it's going to be a limited run.  but this seems like a really limited run????

 

honestly this does suck.  but thankfuly i grabbed one

[Jurassic Shark 12,079]

The LP is still available, though. Even LEGO minifigures are switching to LPs.

Just tweeted a message. I hope Mangold atleast takes some notice!!

[Miguel Andrade 1,263]

Does any of those shipping notifications includes the vinyl release?

[Jay 37,369]

The vinyl has not shipped yet and is very likely truly due around August 9 if not delayed. 

 

The CD release was likely given the same August 9th date only as a rough estimate, and just ended up being ready 3 weeks before then, so they shipped them out to those who ordered it without the vinyl in the same order, to not be sitting on too much stock

[BB-8 3,478]

"I can only hope that you have pre-ordered two CDs, Junior!"

 

Btw, the vinyl is now delayed..."Expected ship date is August 23, 2023."

Well, not to me.

 

I wonder if there's anyone else besides me here who ordered only a CD and hasn't got shipping information yet.

[Jay 37,369]

I mean, they likely got hundreds or thousands of orders.  It isn't realistic to expect them to have shipped out every order in one day

Prologue: vaguely interesting, brass dry as hell.

Helena’s theme: oh, so that’s the theme. Nice piece! Not very hummable, but very nice.

Germany, 1944: Definitely didn’t hear half of it in the movie, probably drowned out by sfx.

To Morocco: I love that solemn brass choral version of the Raiders March. And More Helena! Maybe having the concert suite at the start really does help. Oh my, I’m approving of an album choice.

Voller Returns: mostly ambience that isn’t necessary.

Auction: I’m getting Wet Bandit vibes. Mixing is still off. And here’s Tintin!

Tuk Tuk: Helena’s theme still nice.

To Athens: It would have been nice if the character had been as great as the theme. Or half as great. Strange that the Raiders March didn’t go into G-sharp.

Perils of the Deep: Voller Returns 2.0.

 

More tomorrow.

Wait, is this your first time hearing the soundtrack?

[bollemanneke 3,349]

Sure, why not? Saw the movie last week.

[Taikomochi 1,136]

I actually really like Voller Returns. It doesn’t stick out as a highlight on first touch, but I’m finding it increasingly rewarding to unpack the mix of brooding motifs sloshing around. The album already underrepresents the Voller material. I want more, not less!

I just assumed you had listened by now, since the album has been out almost a month.

[bollemanneke 3,349]

I'm not in a rush to listen to new stuff, generally. I did it with TLJ and it did not work at all. I want to see the movie first before listening to a score.

[Andy 4,138]

They generated the tracking number, but there ain’t no movement on it.

Also emailed Williams Agency to look into this matter. Maestro ought to know that the fans are deprived.

 

 

[BB-8 3,478]

Wondering whether ASM could also raise this at some level as she is also affected by deprived artistic dissemination.

(maybe even a couple copies, to sell one if it becomes a collector’s item!).

Congratulations, you're part of the problem.

Let's hope Disney will do a Legacy Collection edition like the one they did for Mary Poppins.

I'm sorry, that was just a reaction to the idea of buying limited editions explicitly to resell them for a profit, which I can't stand.

I understand, but:

 

1. I’ve never done that sort of thing in my life before, so I was mostly just kidding. I don’t even really buy physical media anymore, not even for myself.

 

2. From what I understand, the site limited customers to 2 CDs per person anyways, so it’s not like I could have gone and bought like, a ton of them to resell. (Nor would I have had any desire to do so, either.)

[ChrisAfonso 186]

I'm sorry, I didn't mean to imply that, I had a knee-jerk response and didn't get the joke.

ASM has her own digital single and is barely mentioned on the album's packaging. If someone was looking for the album to be a marketing them for her, they've done a bad job.

[Dr. Know 326]

I got the shipping notice the other day, but according to the USPS, all that has happened is a shipping label has been created in Crozet, Virginia, but the package has not yet been tendered to the postal service.

Wouldn't MM be the logical person? He has an in with Williams' people and is obviously an aficianado of film music, with lots of contacts in the industry (including Intrada, who have some level of an in with The Mouse).

[bollemanneke 3,349]

Water Ballet: recycle bin.

Polybius Cypher: I love that little motif in the beginning. Great nod at the Nazi fanfare at the end.

The Grafikos: recycle bin.

Archimedes’ tomb: what a theme.

The Airport: I think I’m going to keep this and get rid of the prologue. Great Helena variations and harp playing.

Battle of Syracuse: more of the same, expendable.

Centuries Join Hands: more great Raiders March variations.

New York: Exquisite string writing. Marion. And that ending! That’s it, this album has everything I need. Brass in March is not good. Mix is even more not good.

Mutter track: Sickening levels of vibrato. I almost wish Roger Norrington was still working. Piece improves in second half.

I still take more issue with Thor's take that it doesn't sound Roman.  It's pretty unmistakably Roman

[Demodex 557]

After several listens to the soundtrack I realized there are pretty few action sequences on it. Even the Battle of Syracuse doesn't sound like much of a battle.  It's not a very exciting soundtrack. On par with KOTCS. 

[Richard Penna 3,694]

It's a more consistently interesting score than KotCS but it fails to land for me in the 'killer action' category.

[Taikomochi 1,136]

The incidental scoring is better than Skull, but Skull’s action writing is top notch. Nothing comes close to the complete Jungle Chase.

But the trumpets sound a lot better on DOD. On KOTCS they sound kinda thin, particularly on the higher register.

Just a lot of classic Hollywood "roman" techniques like sus chords in french horn and the diminished brass stabs.  The Lost World esque timpani part reminded me of Spartacus.

[Foxfan 128]

Wow... I was also waiting to see if it would become available on Amazon or another retailer so I could combine it with another item to get free shipping.

 

I should call the Tanglewood Glass House (gift shop) just for kicks to see if they can get a few copies in time for Film Night.
