And now all the way up to the Beauty and the Beast live action film. I know they're coming from the perspective people hate "the background music" so they lump all the songs together up front. Odd since all the remastered classics were organized in film order. (and so were the Legacy Collection) First world problem I know, and not a big deal if you listen to your music digitally anyway.    Posted:   Mar 13, 2017 - 7:04 AM     By:   Thor   (Member) I see pros and cons with both approaches. The way it is now, the score is allowed to flow without interuption. On the other hand, a well-placed song inbetween the score tracks may also prove to be fine "bridges" from a pure listening persepective. Either way, it's not really something that has bothered me.    Posted:   Mar 13, 2017 - 7:40 AM     By:   TM   (Member) Aaaaaaand for so many years I was massively annoyed when songs used to break up the score on CD because I've never listened to them. So there's the universe balancing out =P    Posted:   Mar 13, 2017 - 7:45 AM     By:   Solium   (Member) Aaaaaaand for so many years I was massively annoyed when songs used to break up the score on CD because I've never listened to them. So there's the universe balancing out =P I get that for non musical scores where they slip a song in the middle of the score. (That was only created for promotional reasons.) But when it comes to musicals, and Disney in particular the songs and score have a strong association with one another.    Posted:   Mar 13, 2017 - 8:06 AM     By:   TM   (Member) Aaaaaaand for so many years I was massively annoyed when songs used to break up the score on CD because I've never listened to them.

That doesn't mean I LIKE them...    Posted:   Mar 13, 2017 - 9:10 AM     By:   other tallguy   (Member) Before The Little Mermaid did they include the score at all? I think it's a good approach.    Posted:   Mar 13, 2017 - 9:12 AM     By:   kaseykockroach   (Member) I made my own CD of Frozen with the songs and score in chronological order. I might do the same for Moana, but I actually kind of think the album plays well as it is, for once.    Posted:   Mar 13, 2017 - 9:39 AM     By:   TacktheCobbler   (Member) Before The Little Mermaid did they include the score at all? I think it's a good approach. I don't know about the other pre-Little Mermaid scores, but Sleeping Beauty's original soundtrack album (which can be found on ITunes) included excerpts from the scores interspersed with the songs, some of which did not make it onto its expanded presentation.    Posted:   Mar 13, 2017 - 9:55 AM     By:   Sean Nethery   (Member) My daughter introduced me to Moana over the weekend, and I've been enjoying the album a lot with the songs and score separated. I find it helps to have them separated, so I can be in one mode (enjoying songs) and then the other (underscore). Or just pick one or the other, if I want a briefer taste. I've never had an issue with this approach, think it actually tends to be a better solution than long patches of instrumental music with songs here and there. Rhino's Gigi is an example that I found works less well, though I don't hold it against them for presenting that way. You're enjoying the music, and then Maurice comes in and then he's gone and then he's back a little and gone.....distracting, as it wouldn't be in the film. But then, I am one of the partisans for a good album presentation rather than something more like the music as presented in the movie.    Posted:   Mar 13, 2017 - 10:11 AM     By:   Tobias   (Member) Aaaaaaand for so many years I was massively annoyed when songs used to break up the score on CD because I've never listened to them.

Moana happens to be the one and only case where I actually like the songs and dislike the score.    Posted:   Mar 13, 2017 - 11:27 AM     By:   Nicolai P. Zwar   (Member) These film scores are basically musicals, so I never liked the separation either. There is no flow to these albums and they feel disjointed. I much prefer the type of presentation done for THE NIGHTMARE BEFORE CHRISTMAS soundtrack in such cases, that was really done well (including Patrick Stewart's narration). The Disney Legacy Collections are therefore better presentations of at least some of these scores (like THE LITTLE MERMAID).     General Discussion: The Annoyance of Disney Separating Songs & Score    < 1  >   Go to page:  1   First Post    General Discussion • Trading Post • Non-Film Score Discussion  Profile • Preferences • Community Rules • Help/Contact • Search Board You must log in or register to post.   Go to page:  1
