Cavalier_of_Palahndtüs Standard Userer	Hey all. Been really busy but I created a group on Facebook called "Exploring the music of The Lord of the Rings (by H. Shore)". If any of you are interested in joining that would be awesome! I could use some help with discussing and "teaching my new padawans". Thanks guys and gals.

Thorf Standard Userer	Wow, I could have sworn that this was Gladiator... I love Hans Zimmer, but he can certainly get a bit repetitive after a while. (It's actually Dead Man's Chest.) Unfortunately I have to go to sleep now, but thanks everyone for sharing that nice web radio link. It's rather fun. I'm not hugely enthusiastic about hearing snippets of Return of the King (I'd rather listen to the whole thing in sequence) but I'm a big soundtrack fan anyway.

gkgyver Standard Userer	Missed Paths Of The Dead. Oh well, one down, 50 to go Btw, unused music in Allegiance To Denethor as well!

gkgyver Standard Userer	Cues like "Foot Of Orthanc" have so many little subtleties that don't come out in the film; they're better on album.

Jason Non-Standard Userer	quote: Originally posted by NeoVoyager: Yes, I noticed. And Doug has already responded to this question over at the FSM boards. I quote: "The four-discs here are entirely dedicated to the ROTK score… four discs were necessary because of the length of tracks and the placement of “act” breaks. The parties making the four-disc decision and the parties making the cost decisions are, in fact, entirely separate entities." I dunno, honestly, I think the 3 "acts" that would be created by the 3discs-of-76-minutes-each version are much more natural and have MUCH better "act breaks" than the 4 disc/act version they settled on. Their version has you changing discs in the middle of scenes. I like my version better. Not to mention it would create a symmetry with all 3 releases being 3disc/1dvd sets... oh well.

dambedir Standard Userer	There maybe 3 movies but one history (it's like in the book) there is 10 hours of music in 10 discs. 9 full hours plus 3/4 of an hour (thank for the distraction 20' left]
posted 10-13-2007 04:01 PM PT (US)

gkgyver Standard Userer	I like the idea of those act breaks. I think it's great because it presents the four natural parts of the film, and, for me at least, presents four entities with satisfying ends.

gkgyver Standard Userer	NP: Osgiliath Invaded. I think I just had my first scoregasm ... EDIT: My god, how the Minas Tirith theme, the Fellowship Theme and all the other themes are interwoven is pure excellence! [Message edited by gkgyver on 10-13-2007]

NeoVoyager Standard Userer	Osgiliath Invaded............ OMG! It will be much MUCH better with decent sound quality though.
posted 10-13-2007 05:50 PM PT (US)

Wedge Standard Userer	Good sound quality and Doug's commentary! Not to mention in the context of the complete score. I wouldn't read a long-awaited book for the first time via random chapters sent out over the internet in blurry type, and I'll be passing on these files. But hey, they're your ears...

alan_manc Non-Standard Userer	So, we finally know how Gandalf arriving at Minas Tirith during the invasion of Osgiliath would have sounded musically. Im so glad they decided to go with Shore's original intentions for the music rather than following the film. Wow. That just made the next three weeks painful.
posted 10-13-2007 05:57 PM PT (US)

dambedir Standard Userer	I want only know how is the scene in this case ! are there some go and back between gandalf riding fast because he see (with pippin) what happened from afar and the war in the citadel ?? I think they must be a cue per cue in the annotaded score to understand what's happened really ! if it is not simple. to explain all the sequence of the music.

gkgyver Standard Userer	This is nearly impossible to cut for an isolated score, but who the hell cares? Now I know what Doug meant when he said we would get both versions of Gandalf's arrival. I can't get over how brilliant this piece is! The movie version is almost neutered! If more pieces are improved like this, RotK will be elevated to a whole new level. PS: I know that Christian will bite himself in the a** when he reads this

gkgyver Standard Userer	Of course I'm recording it, what do you think? Although I don't think that will keep me from leaving this house. Eating, yes, drinking, perhaps, sleep definitely, but I need some fresh air I could ask you for a recording of the Paths Of The Dead, but that would be too disrespectful to the magical team behind this release ... I guess [Message edited by gkgyver on 10-13-2007]

Sabsi Standard Userer	quote: Originally posted by gkgyver: Although I don't think that will keep me from leaving this house. Eating, yes, drinking, perhaps, sleep definitely, but I need some fresh air How about opening a window?? My computer shut down 2 seconds before 'Allegiance to Denethor' started, so I missed it One track per hour, 53 tracks in total. Do you realise, we'll be sitting in front of our computer for the next 2 days?? Best track so far: Osgiliath Invaded. BRILLIANT!!!

Cavalier_of_Palahndtüs Standard Userer	Cheaters! May Doug and Howard frown upon you. Only 3 weeks away...sheesh. Even I can resist that!.......(maybe)
posted 10-13-2007 08:51 PM PT (US)

Sabsi Standard Userer	Oops, I missed 'The Chalice Passed', not 'Allegiance to Denethor'. Must be the lack of sleep... The next track is 'The Days of the Ring/King'. I'll take that as a sign - the End Credits will be the last thing I hear 'til November. I'll listen to the 'real' CR in superb quality in the right order (and not just 'random chapters') with Doug's comments. Suddenly I think it's not right, I'm taking all the fun out of this: Counting days, guessing how Sissels Song fits in, eagerly awaiting Doug's podcast,... I pass the test. I will stop listening and go to bed. And remain Sabsi.

Strider1002 Standard Userer	Well, it's difficult to resist, but I'm gonna wait until I can hear that music on my suitcase-sized speakers. It's kind of like fooling around before marriage... I choose to remain chaste (in this instance)

Ralo Non-Standard Userer	The Battle of the Pelennor Fields is coming VERY soon! I don't know if I dare to listen, this is one of my favorite pieces and it would be bad to listen to it too early. But I think I can't resist it.

Incanus Standard Userer	You guys are making my wait for the real deal SO MUCH MORE DIFFICULT!
posted 10-14-2007 12:39 AM PT (US)

Thorf Standard Userer	Incanus, I sympathise completely. But really listening on the radio is just like a little preview of the real thing, and due to the enforced variety on StreamingSoundtracks.com none of us are going to hear the whole album before it is released. So I suggest that you listen to as much or as little as you like, and that those of us who do choose to listen respect those who don't (or simply can't due to time) and refrain from posting too much about it here. It just seems too much of a tease at best, and at worst a slap in the face to post pages and pages about radio broadcasts not everyone can hear. Can't we try and keep discussion of the actual music until the release? But that's just my take on things.

ilovehobbits Non-Standard Userer	Just hearing all this talk about the sound clips is enough excitement to keep me going until next month. It does make it more painful, but it's a good pain!
