King Mark 3,631 Posted July 8, 2005 Author Share Posted July 8, 2005 Well,yeah,I made my own expanded c.d. by editing unreleased music from the Galaxies videogame,plus I split up Jack Chappel's "complete score" edit into the cues written on the score sheet so I have a pretty good grasp of the recorded cues and what's unreleased.I also made that thematic analisis that was on the main page so I had to listen to all of it carefully.In contrast I don't know AotC very muchK.M.

RomanticStrings 10 Posted July 8, 2005 Share Posted July 8, 2005 Well, I'm not so versed in technology as to know how to do that nor even how to get all of the music, but I've listened to the soundtrack to Jurassic Park so much that it's scratchy on "Incident At Isla Nublar," track 3, and I could probably anticipate every change in mood and sudden turn-around in the music just from hearing it so much. Other than that, I don't really know any music in as much detail as for what you ask.~Conor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr. Breathmask 555 Posted July 8, 2005 Share Posted July 8, 2005 I'd say JP, HPPS, SW and ESB in particular. I've not just listened to these many, many times, but I've made many a mental note to myself about these scores.- Marc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Henry B 50 Posted July 8, 2005 Share Posted July 8, 2005 I pretty much have Star Wars and The Phantom Menace memorized. With Empire and Jedi, I'm a little hazy on some of the more "boring" cues, generally the underscore stuff that was added for the SE release. Clones is boring in a lot of places, but I know the CD album well. Unreleased cues, not so much.I also know the CD album of Chamber of Secrets by heart. :?

ymenard 54 Posted July 9, 2005 Share Posted July 9, 2005 Back when I had a very tedious summer job, it was very repetitious and I was kinda all alone by myself. We couldn't have radio as it was too dangerous so I would pass my days by playing in my head various Johnny scores. I could spend like 2hours with TESB in my head, sometimes the tempo would be pretty off but oh well days flyed by! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

codanai 0 Posted July 9, 2005 Share Posted July 9, 2005 Probably Jurassic Park more than anything for me.

I think a large portion of these scores are so remembered by us because they are the ones we listened to first, the ones that introduced us to Williams and defined his style in our minds. That doesn't make a particular score better, just eralier in our lives. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoeinAR 1,949 Posted July 11, 2005 Share Posted July 11, 2005 I know all the details of Close Encounters because when I listened to it continuously in late 77 and early 78, there were only a handful of other JW scores, Star Wars, Missouri Breaks, Jaws, TI, and Earthquake, I never found Eiger Sanction. So CE3K is ingrained into my being, as are those others I mentioned. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
