Smaug The Iron 516 Posted March 14 Share Posted March 14 Got my copy today, I am so happy that I now can listen to the entire trilogy in complete form. And the fact that it has only been five years since this came out and we already have the complete score is so great! JTN and Holko 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JNHFan2000 2,966 Posted March 14 Share Posted March 14 Yeah, it's so great!! I really hope Powell is gonna keep doing this. I would love his Ice Age and X-Men (especially because of all the short ost cues) and Bourne scores on an album like this JTN 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Holko 9,527 Posted March 15 Share Posted March 15 Second pass at an edit: I shortened Armada Battle. I realised a lot of the messiness comes from tempo shifts, abrupt/imperfect transitions and some basically 1:1 reprised segments. I narrowed down the key offenders to 3 sections that I removed: 2:48-3:32 (the Wings / Challenging the Alpha reprise), 4:55-5:39 (The Kill Ring reprise) and 6:22-6:44 (The Hiccup & Toothless Attacked reprise). Not to toot my own horn too much but something must be right about my "musical sense" because thankfully the first and third are actually on cue borders, some of the weaker transitions come from that, and because the FYC contains the cues separately that also gave me some clean openings/endings to work more flexibly with. The first and second are simple transitions, switch the later section in for the removed one when it would come in, let the buildup bleed through in a crossfade etc. The third was trickier since I was left with a buildup and a quiet unimpressive clean opening, so I snatched 3:30-3:32 for a quick brass and percussion burst to patch the transition with (and make a tiny fragment of the removed material live on!). To further "clean up" the tempo, I tightened up the 4:31-4:34 buildup to the fast Love Theme (made it start earlier, shortened it a tiny bit), and very slightly sped up 4:44-4:55 which is a kinda weird drop in tempo after that Love Theme. I'll need to live with it a bit, come back after some time of course, but I think I succeeded in tightening it up, focusing it more on the new stuff, new renditions and better integrated old renditions.

That’s where I almost, kinda fell out of love with JP. As much as I adored his Bourne scores (especially the first two), and his X-Men 3 score, and even his first HTTYD, he started to become “too much” for me at that time, where I just couldn’t listen to any of his scores all the way through. And as much as I like the HTTYD films, and I have all 3 scores both as OSTs and the extended editions, I don’t listen to them, or only a few cues, than I grow tired of them and put on something else. It’s the same with Solo. And I genuinely like the guy and his music, but not in great portions I guess. And I chose HTTYD3 over Hellboy 2.

timelord327 4 Posted March 23 Share Posted March 23 My copy finally arrived from the int'l store (I don't mind waiting), and I have to say, the remaster for this is like night and day compared to the standard OST. It's amazing the difference these deluxe editions have done, to make all 3 scores way more listenable. I'm sure I'll just be parroting what others have said, but to get complete releases for a film series so soon after they released is an absolute marvel. While HTTYD 2 is my favourite score (and film), The Hidden World is probably the easiest listen, and the most developed musically (which makes sense given its placement in the series) Tallguy 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

filip 53 Posted March 28 Share Posted March 28 Well then, mine better be in one piece and working condition when it arrives (no updates in over 48h to my tracking within the EU... what gives... bracing for Easter too...)...

Richard Penna 3,694 Posted March 28 Share Posted March 28 7 hours ago, Andy said: SOLD OUT in the US That was quick! If I were advising Powell right now, I'd tell him to forget his end of April streaming date and just put this out digitally now. Such a dumb idea to begin with - there were easily enough fans who wanted it on CD for Varese to get their sales. I know this may be an unpopular rant with some but I just don't buy the idea that Varese needs an exclusive period for a product like this, and it feels very condescending that we're being asked to buy (and wait for) a CD and marvel at some fancy liners before we're allowed the convenience of digital.

Andy 4,138 Posted March 28 Share Posted March 28 When is the April streaming date? Perhaps they are “officially” sold out so that fence sitters and procrastinators will be more inclined to purchase it digitally. I mean, it’s almost April already, and a “sell out” could boost digital sales. Then months later they can find more inventory after the demand for the physical cd has time to skyrocket. It’s what I would do if sales slowed to a trickle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crumbs 14,317 Posted March 29 Share Posted March 29 Geez I'm glad my order shipped yesterday! Just in time. Still gotta say, I find it a little baffling they licensed 1000 less units of the third score. A stack of people who ordered the previous 2 expansions are going to miss out.

Classical labels almost always provide excellent PDF versions of the liner notes for their releases. It seems surprising that film music releases do not. I mean, the printed notes and artwork will be put together in a computer programme and I doubt it would take much work to convert that into a PDF.

I mentioned them more as I was trying to highlight some specific appeal of having this specific release on CD, aside from obvious collector desires. 9 hours ago, crumbs said: Geez I'm glad my order shipped yesterday!

Particularly as it's not like their US warehouse has a ton of the first two sitting unsold and they decided to reduce the pressing volume. Not entirely indicative but discogs has between 40-50 people currently wanting the first and second, and the lowest price is around £60. If they did more in the US store, no doubt they'd sell.

filip 53 Posted April 4 Share Posted April 4 Took a while but finally got my INTL package. Hidden World DE arrived in 1piece and in working condition ^_^ can't wait to actually sit down and listen. One other 2disc tray was broken but I'm mostly happy with my whole previously-considered-OOP order. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
