The LLL set runs a little long, but what is there is so damn good I can't complain. As has been pointed out, the original album, while well put together, couldn't really catch the full breadth of the score, and the expanded edition felt more like “bleeding chunks,” while the complete score feels more organic as a whole.

The Most interested cue..that I truly think is funny is the Alternate Charge Cue. Oh it sounds like a bunch of men skipping over to wal mart to pick up some boots. It is awful. In a good way. lol.



What??

Yeah I can't believe I just ordered the complete score what with having made the two previous purchases. This is a first, never done the hat trick before! But over the years I've lamented not having the wonderful music from a scene that gave me serious goosebumps: Dunbar carrying the wounded girl and from up high discovering the village below. Just knowing this situation will finally be remedied makes the higher cost (well, almost for a confirmed cheapskate like me) worth it.

Probably mentioned it in a lost thread from many moons ago but I had been given tickets to one of them pre-opening screenings something like a month before release. My survey comments were effusive with praise, predicting Oscar in a big way. It's the only time I've ever had the pleasure of participating in this kind of thing. Guess I was fortunate the lone experience was a keeper. In retrospect, my fondest memory is having gone full gaga over the score...esp. in light of one of those Woody Allen/McLuhan know-it-alls who derided the Barry approach in the post-screening discussion. razz

Can anyone help?

In Geek++ mode, I've run a comparison of this new (wonderful) release with the 2004 Sony release so as to eliminate duplicate tracks.

I'm aware there was discussion re: Pawnee Attack, et al. and The Buffalo Hunt but my query relates to track 8 on that earlier release: The Buffalo Robe 2'12"

Whilst using the same thematic material as other tracks, I haven't been able to match this track to any on the 2015 LLL release (score or bonus tracks).

Can anyone assist me by either agreeing with me (the track is not represented on this new release) or correct me (by telling me which track(s) it now is)?

Cheers,

Mitch

Wow that was ultra-quick, it arrived today and I'm savoring the whole thing as I type. Makes me want to see the flick again. Cheers, LLL.

Oh and about "Kicking Bird's Gift," I've often considered it definitive music of utter humility. From the first viewing to every subsequent listen.

WOW! What a score, and what a grand presentation from La La Land Records. Enjoying my first playback of this set on a lazy sunday. What else one could ask for?

They don't make films and music like this anymore. Here's to the great John Barry. Cheers!

Amer - I had probably same thoughts today too! Just imagine, let's say... Superman (sorry but I still can't make myself to watch it or Nolan's Batman) - with our day SFX technologies, but with old plot & JW music... Wouldn't this be amazing?!

Nice. I agree, Todays SUPERMAN would sound and look better. But in the end we had SUPERMAN RETURNS to remind us of that score's magnitude and impact.

Saw and enjoyed the film when it was released.

Listened to the OST until it I became somewhat desensitized to it.

Never got the Sony expansion.

Haven't given the film or score much attention since the 90s.

Got the LLL expansion and listened.

Imagine my delight and surprise. THIS is what film scoring and the love of musical storytelling is all about. That this throwback to a golden era was even made when it was is astonishing.

I had no idea there was a Film Version of Buffalo Hunt. When it played, I was expecting some slight variation of the John Dunbar album version. Those Coplandesque brass punctuations! I almost lost my mind with joy.

If you don't have this, GET THIS. Get it as soon as you can. Don't let it go out of print without having this in your collection.

This may have been said somewhere, but is there a way on how to program this set exactly as the 1990 album presentation?

No. Tracks like Looks Like a Suicide, Journey to Fort Sedgewick, and Pawnee Attack are extended with adjacent music to form longer tracks. You'd have to cut the original album track out of the longer track and you might fail due to cross-fading.

As a mass market CD pressed in numbers probably like 100,000, it's easy these days to find second hand copies of the original 1990 album for like $2. If you really want the 1990 album program, you might be better off just paying the $2.

Cheers

However, La La Lands fantastic release is the very best way to hear John Barry’s fantastic score

Thanks for the information. I usually prefer having albums in my digital library assembled by the composer for the listening experience, but this expanded edition is also fantastic, with cues that wasn't on the first release, even if it goes on a bit long. The sound on the LaLaLand discs is terrific, which is why I wanted to experiment with audio editing.

This is a masterpiece of a film score that I never was familiar with until I got the LLL edition. Neil did a perfect job with it, it's an amazing release.

I agree. It's an amazing, heartfelt composition that accompanies the glorious vistas of Costner's film.
