hoby12 0 Posted April 10, 2005 Share Posted April 10, 2005 Even though I am excited to hear the new soundtrack - I find it a bit disturbing with a few good google searches I can have the entire soundtrack (it seems minus a few tracks) as mp3s. I know that the rest of you here at this board, if they participate in the downloading, will go ahead and buy the CD also. Yet there will be so many people not doing that. And even though he is rich Mr. Williams has definately earned his BMI royalties for this CD, George Lucas and Sony can go f#ck themselves. I know that this happens with like all albums now a day - but I don't buy much of that (except at Ameoba records).Hoby - Who just listened to the opening up to the transition and decided it was better to wait.....and who is also amused by the arrival of more JWFAN.net newbies who come and trash us every time we get excited about something.

Greg1138 3 Posted April 10, 2005 Share Posted April 10, 2005 I've heard the official 1-minute preview, and fell for John Takis' April Fool (!!!) but other than that I will not be trying to download the sondtrack - would rather wait for the official release and hear it all in context....

fommes 153 Posted April 10, 2005 Share Posted April 10, 2005 I won't either, what's the point of downloading something - burning it on a CDR if you want to hear it on a better sound system, and then buying the CD after all just few days or weeks later.

Luke Skywalker 1,795 Posted April 10, 2005 Share Posted April 10, 2005 I wanted to wait, but having those files was too much.The AOC wait was horrendous, having the score when it leaked, and not heard it (just across the stars) after may 19.I turned to the dark side this time...

#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 10,265 Posted April 10, 2005 Share Posted April 10, 2005 So did I.I really wish it did not leak, but it did, and I did not wanna spend 3 weeks avoiding the MB.Oh well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
batmanand 0 Posted April 10, 2005 Share Posted April 10, 2005 I will be waiting. I have so far listened to: the ringtone; the one minute preview; and the TV spot with the choir Battle of the Heroes.I want my first experience to be special - reading teh George Lucas blurb, holding the case, listening with my headphones on a proper CD player (better sound quality).And anyway it is only like 2.5 weeks!

pixie_twinkle 48 Posted April 10, 2005 Share Posted April 10, 2005 I'll be waiting too. Partly because I want the first experience of this music to be in the best quality it can be. Partly because holding the booklet and looking at the cover art/liner notes/pics is all a part of the first-listen experience for me. Partly because Johnny deserves my hard earned cash. But mostly because I have crappy dial up and it would take forever to download all the tracks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Johnnyecks 33 Posted April 10, 2005 Share Posted April 10, 2005 I've listened to the preview as well. I decided that I will wait until the cd is released to listen to the whole thing. There's some magical quality in the act of buying a new JW cd, getting in the car and opening it, looking over the cover and the liner notes, and then popping it in the player and waiting for the opening notes. If I dl and listen over the computer, then that magic would be lost (at least for me). So, in short... I'm waiting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MusicHunta131 0 Posted April 10, 2005 Share Posted April 10, 2005 i did download the MP3s, but I'll also be buying the soundtrack as well, since it has all the JW footage. Hmm...maybe this is what George Lucas wanted?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Delorean90 42 Posted April 11, 2005 Share Posted April 11, 2005 I'm definitely waiting. I listened to the ringtone, the trailers, and the 1 minute Sony Classical preview, and beyond that will only listen to the 30-second clips on Amazon as I did with the first two (maybe). I want to have the whole thing in my hands when I hear it for the first time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stewdog1 50 Posted April 11, 2005 Share Posted April 11, 2005 I've listened to the ringtone, Main Title track, and Anakin vs Obiwan. I'm not going to listen to anymore until the CD comes out.Mainly because I want to here it for the first time in the best quality available. After listening to the two MP3s, I was disappointed by the crappy quality.I shall wait and just watch the threads go by. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pete 907 Posted April 11, 2005 Share Posted April 11, 2005 I downloaded the soundtrack as fast as I could I know it is exciting to buy the CD in a shop, drive home.. read the notes etc...but I just didn't see any reason to wait.I certainly don't see anyting morally wrong with downloading it, I intend to buy it, I'm just getting the product before I hand over the cashI will be buying the CD when it comes out, but I could live with myself if I didn't. I still figure Lucas and Sony owe me some bucks because I bought Episode 2 twice, (to get the bonus track)....I was living outside the US and didn't know at the time that the international release included the Bonus track.Ordered the CD (sans bonus track) from Amazon, and then two weeks later there was the CD in shops WITH the bonus track --- Doh!Anyway I think it is prett funny the Soundtrack was leaked before SOny even have their Soundtack site up and ruuning. A look at their John Williams site last week had the news that Episode 2 CD was in stores and that Williams won a Grammy for Angelas's Ashes. -- What was that 4 or 5 years ago???Williams rules, Sony is full of monkeys Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jasonblueeyes 0 Posted April 20, 2005 Share Posted April 20, 2005 When this question was posed 3 years ago I'll give the same answer now I did Then. YES!!! I am going to wait for the CD. There is nothing like the weeks waiting up to a Star Wars Release. And since this is the Last one this will be the only chance to Go to the CD store with that "Oh My God, I'm on my way to buy a new Star Wars Soundtrack" feeling. Picking the CD up, gazing at it, smiling, heart beating all the while, buying it and later that spring eveningpopping the CD in, turning the volume up LOUD!! and wait for that first 'DUUHHHNN' Crash of the Main theme and let it's magic work over you. That's what it's all about.!!! :spiny: But OK, I did listen to the 2 preview tracks #1 and #3 once and deleted them because I couldn't spoil myself any more then that.

Olivier 5 Posted April 23, 2005 Share Posted April 23, 2005 I've been avoiding the trailers / images / lists / messages / spoilers / leaks / downloads / samples / ... for a long time.I have ordered the CD, and will discover the music then-- or in the movie if I don't receive it before or decide to wait a few days more.Of course, I'm very much looking forward to seeing the movie and hearing the music, but I don't find it unbearable to wait-- especially when everybody says the leaked mp3's are of poor quality; but eevn if it were of stellar quality, I wouldn't download.

#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 10,265 Posted April 23, 2005 Share Posted April 23, 2005 Both SACD and DVD-A are far superiour to CD standards.Unfortunatly neither format seems to be storming the market.Of popular compression formats, AAC is clearly the way to go.
