Hlao-roo 389 Posted April 9, 2005 Share Posted April 9, 2005 Sarcasm aside, yes, Joe, I do agree that the album we have here is a strong one. There are a few duds -- Track 7, 8 -- and a track that completely baffles -- Track 15 -- but on the whole the music has a strong emotional pull to it that rivals or exceeds some of the best moments of Episode I.

Hlao-roo 389 Posted April 9, 2005 Share Posted April 9, 2005 Track 7 is the "Anderton's Great Escape" of this album. It represents everything that's wrong with John Williams's action writing today. Fortunately, we have other tracks on the album that represent everything that's right with John Williams's action writing today. And Track 8 is one of those atmospheric, meandering tracks that Williams could probably pen in his sleep.The blatant re-use of previous music from the saga in Tracks 9 and 14 is a little annoying at first, but I suppose Williams has earned the right mine the treasures that he himself planted. He does alter them somewhat, I guess.I don't think he has a right to undermine the emotional punch of one of the great scenes of the original trilogy, though (yes, I'm referring to the Throne Room music in Track 15).

Adam 1 Posted April 9, 2005 Share Posted April 9, 2005 Track 7 is one that won't download for me. I do like Anderton's Great Escape although I can't argue he's breaking new ground or that it doesn't bare similarities to other tracks he's written.Its hard for me to see JW making the decision to go back to the stuff from ESB for track 9. Here again, I?m guessing Lucas wanted to make some connection to the earlier films. Sort of like he does with repeating the same dialog from the original triology in the prequels. If you?ve ever heard him talk about it, he seems to pat himself on the back a lot for that kind of thing. Track 13 seems to hint at the motif that?s used in the very good unreased cue to the confessionscene in AOTC. That?s the more subtle kind of reusage that I?m inclined to associate withWilliams. The precedent that we know about would be to compare the Return of the Jedi track when JWhad a go at it and the more literal lifting of Star Wars music that we heard after Lucas had hissay.- Adam Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lurker 5 Posted April 9, 2005 Share Posted April 9, 2005 There is no way the opening titles will end the way they do on this album, with that abrupt cut. That's another part of music from elsewhere in the film. From the recording session notes, "Revenge of the Sith"- 6M9- Underscores at least part of the Big Duel, the new theme is heavily featured. More heavy percussion, and will have a choral element to be recorded later. Statements of the Force Theme, and a crecendo of drums that suddenly cut out for a 'shocking event'". There is a cut at 3:15. Perhaps that is back to the space battle, but I think it may be a cut to "Another Happy Landing", which is why the Grievous theme appears.Neil Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

King Mark 3,631 Posted April 9, 2005 Share Posted April 9, 2005 So far I do like it a lot.,especially Battle of the Heroes.On first listen I thought it was a bit disjointed,and going off in a akward direction melodically at 1.02,but after a few listens I like it a lot.Anakin vs Obi Wan is mosly good,except I would have prefered that Williams did not lift passages from the ESB score.Why not new suspenceful renditions of the Imperial March instead?The opening action cue is also solid,sounding similar to Harry Potter action cues(replace Hedwig's Theme by The Force theme),but in some parts it gets a bit generic.The opening part of Track 15 is terrific and emotionnal,it's nice to hear NEW variations of these themes after so long,but I'll probably be hitting the skip button for the rest of it from now on after the Battle of the Heroes section.now to the rest...K.M.

#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 10,265 Posted April 9, 2005 Share Posted April 9, 2005 The TESB stuff does not mesh very well with the rest of the cue, pity.Padme's Ruminations sounds like it should be in Gladiator.The Immolation Scene is very good.

TownerFan 4,983 Posted April 9, 2005 Share Posted April 9, 2005 Well, I'm listening to the entire thing right now... and I'm pretty impressed. There's real emotional struggle in most of the tracks. Williams seems fully engaged by the source. "Anakin's Betrayal" is magnificent. I'll come back later with more impressions...

SturgisPodmore 0 Posted April 9, 2005 Share Posted April 9, 2005 I just listened to the whole thing and I'm very pleased. I think track 10 ("Anikin's Dark Deeds" I think) is absolutely heartwrenching. I love it. "A New Hope/End Credits" is simply wonderful, exactly the kind of ending I would expect from the final composition for the Star Wars saga. I love the "Battle of the Heros" theme whenever used. I am very pleased with this score."Padme's Ruminations" wouldn't download for me.~Sturgis Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 10,265 Posted April 9, 2005 Share Posted April 9, 2005 I kinda like this performance of The Throne Room, but it really has no place in this score, and the sudden jump to the final part of the Star Wars concert End Titles music is just painfull.Also, why is there no "kickass" rendition of The Emperial March on this CD?

John Crichton 4 Posted April 9, 2005 Share Posted April 9, 2005 There's no Emperor's Theme on the OST either, despite the fact that we know it plays a large role in the score. And anyone else feel like there should be more to the Big Duel and Finale sequence (not counting Grievous Talks... since that's out of order)? Much great music remains unreleased, methinks. Still, we did get Lament. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Crichton 4 Posted April 9, 2005 Share Posted April 9, 2005 The Emperor's theme gets a very brief rendition.I forgot were, but it's definatly there.OK, I must have glazed over that. Probably in Palpatine's Teachings. Still, considering it's Palpy's movie you'd think there'd be more on the OST, but I'm confident there's still plenty of it in the film.And by the way, I don't know if anyone is still paying any attention to the thread at MF.com, but we've been referred to by the same person over there as "anal" and "the kids at JWFan.net". :roll: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

APBez 11 Posted April 9, 2005 Share Posted April 9, 2005 The Imperial March stuff in 'Obi-Wan vs. Anakin' was pretty powerful stuff but not in it's 'march' form; it staggered as in TESB.What, then, is the most 'kick ass' version of The Imperial March from the entire series in everyone's opinion? I don't know how JW would have gone about topping his version at the end of AOTC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
