Wow, I am shocked, SHOCKED by these comments.
By which I mean, not shocked at all.
Seriously people. Varese said *A*, singular, ONE, uno, achat, etc club release. That it was Star Trek should not a surprise, but even if you're disappointed it wasn't something more your taste, they can't please everyone.
How the hell can it be a "disppointing batch" if there's ONE release?
Yes, they also announced three limited edition releases. They all fit in with the previous discs from the same series, so anyone who actually pays even a few grains of brains cells of attention should have known they'd be of similar fair.
Seriously people, just take two seconds to THINK about things before you spew things that just makes you look dumb.

I don't understand "I've given up on Varese" comments. So if down the line they do release stuff you like you won't buy it to punish them for making you wait so long? Or you're just never going to bother checking their announcements again?
I don't get it either. More than half the stuff Intrada and LLL release I have no interest in. But you won't here me whine and complain after each annoucement. It's an expensive hobby as it is, and if everyone would only release great batches we'd all be bankrupt within a few weeks!
Don't care much for Giacchino's Star Trek score but knowing Predator is on the horizon, I will happily wait for Varese's next batch

I for one think the regular disappointment with Varese is not just because they do Club releases infrequently, but because they are sitting on a GOLD MINE of expandable material (not just scores from the last two and a half decades but ALSO older scores that they put out albums for during that time, like the Flint scores and The Other...) This is material that only they can release, and they usually don't. Semi-recent expansions like Die Hard 2, The Abyss, and the upcoming Predator 2 are great, but they serve to remind people of how many titles Varese controls in perpetuity, and at the rate Varese has been taking care of them, the majority of the expanded scores people are waiting for from them will probably *never* come out.
Examples for me aside from all the big Goldsmith titles and whatnot: John Debney's Paulie and especially Cliff Eidelman's magnum opus, Christopher Columbus: The Discovery. If Varese hadn't put those out in the 90s I feel sure LLL or maybe Intrada would have tackled them complete.

Guys, what's honestly so bad about Star Trek Into Darkness as the ONE new Club title we knew was coming? This is only good news! I specifically held off buying the first release in the hope Varese would expand it, and now here it is, roughly around the same time many expected it to arrive. And we basically know Predator 2 is coming and that in general Varese is in the groove of getting out expanded/complete versions of their in-perp titles. Your personal most desired Varese title will have its day (still got my fingers crossed for Starship Troopers). And if Star Trek Into Darkness bums you out so bad, hopefully you took advantage of Quartet's recent sale or will go take advantage of Intrada's.
If it helps, think about it this way: the release of Star Trek Into Darkness puts you one title closer to the release of those scores you really do want. It's been said before but it's worth saying again: patience makes this hobby/passion/lifestyle so much more enjoyable.

Instead of complaining about Into Darkness expanded how about checking out No God, No Master by Nuno Malo. This is the sort of music that we need to see more of these days.
I agree! I have NOT heard the full album, but the samples sounded VERY promising. I do hope more people pick this up and I can easily see this begin one of the first to sell out quickly. Lovely samples that you are right, we need to hear more of these days!

LeHah, you quoted me before your response, but your response didn't seem to have much to do with what I said. I certainly don't think there's any conspiracy. I just think Varese has been dropping the ball in terms of how often they could be producing definitive expansions of great scores they only released 30 minutes of in the past.
