I'm going with the infallible assumption that this is happening only because I just bought the CD. You're welcome, the humanity.

  • It is my understanding that Paramount was able to negotiate special pricing for those releases with the union.

    I couldn't possibly tell you if Disney could do the same for Rogue One and the Williams' sequel scores or not >shrug<


    Is it possible that unions... don't like Disneyfilm?

  • No CD = no sale

  • Keep in mind that every single time he writes that, it won't prevent him from downloading it illegally... !

    So much for the Angel Gets His Wings hypothesis.

    No CD = no sale

    That's fine. Digital and vinyl will be very profitable. Not trying to be a jerk but I read this and the labels are already seeing dying support for CDs. I've seen streaming generate 10s and 100s of thousands in sales. Again if more people who say this supported CDs then maybe we would see more of them.

    Disney Records already planned and put money into a digital release, and I'm sure they considered the cost of physical product vs. the demand vs. the profit margin. Refusing to buy a digital-only release doesn't make any statement about CDs - the only thing it possibly could make a statement about is the demand for expanded film score releases/Star Wars releases in general. Shrug.

    Asking the record company for a physical release may make a specific statement about the desire for a physical release, but only if it's accompanied by thousands more of them, as they'd need to sell a lot of CDs to make their money.

    Well its a self fulfilling prophecy. Release it only digitally and their assumption is, no one wants CD's anymore. I'm willing to bet they would've sold a lot more copies on CD if say it was a co-venture with Intrada. Just how many in the general public are going to buy a digital copy of a score to a film that bombed at the box office? Now sure when it comes to popular music they'll probably sell more digitally but for score fans, I think physical medium is still the preferred medium.

    BTW, since its pretty much public knowledge Solo was filmed essentially "twice" doe's that mean there will be a lot of cues recorded for the first cut of the film we've never seen or heard, before Opie took over and re-shot the film?

    Powell edited the announcement on Facebook and Instagram.

    It used to say: Coming soon to digital exclusive streaming

    Now it says: Coming soon in 2020 to digital exclusive streaming and digital purchase

    No CD = no sale

    That's nice.

    Since all my music are from digital files transferred to physical media (as are yours) I don't see what difference it makes as long as it's a high quality file. But whatever.

    "No CD = no sale"

    "Nobody gives a shit...."

    ***

    I assume you mean nobody cares that this one potential customer will not be buying the download. But for the record, and for what it's worth, I as another potential customer give an expletive whether it's ever released on CD, and as a lover of Mr. Powell's artistry I hope it will be.

    I don't think Powell scored both versions of the film. I remember him posting stuff on Facebook as he scored it, and I'm pretty sure it was after Howard finished shooting his second version.

    I don't tend to bring my computer in the car with me, nor into my bedroom when I listen to music.

    I often ask, how much of it is "dying support" and how much of it is them pushing digital/streaming to no end and making the CDs that they DO release look like an afterthought?

    The fact that the digital version of music/movies is released weeks before the CD most of the time, they are kind of learning on the scale.

    Really good point that not buying the download has the very real possibility of more and more film music just not seeing the light of day in ANY format. All it takes is one exec who looks and says, well if nobody is going to buy a download which is literally the easiest way you could possibly get the music, then it can't be popular enough anymore to waste fairly significant money mastering it in the first place...

    Are we missing a factor here?

    To be able to have the music in high definition, there is really only download to work with. Streaming almost always tends to compress the data, and there are no 'viable' disc formats for it as SACD/DVD-Audio/Blu-Ray Audio never managed to gain a foothold. Conventional CD is a compressed format by virtue of its 16bit 44.1KHz standard.

    I'm all for disc distribution if it's viable, and in most cases 'our' soundtrack labels can make a run work. But they don't do high definition discs.
