My copy from Amazon arrived today and its CDR.

Since they went with the expanded route why didn't they just release the complete score?

Maybe it’s because Hans Zimmer prefers the drip drip drip approach. Keep releasing new albums with one or two additional tracks.

Well, we got like 1 hour of music from the Xperiments album.

Hopefully we will get the same here.

But if it is like Interstellar, then it is going to suck.

Something funny is going on. The WaterTower release is a CD-R, yes, but I thought WaterTower, like Sony, would issue pressed CDs in Europe, however, that doesn't seem to be the case here, so I could be wrong.

The really odd thing, though, is that Rambling Records are releasing the score in Japan next Wednesday, but also as a CD-R, making certain to point that out in the product information:

http://www.rambling.ne.jp/catalog/ww84/

https://www.amazon.co.jp/dp/B08R4J8FSJ/?language=en_US

It almost makes you wonder if this is a stopgap release, but it's strange because they had literally months to get it together thanks to the pandemic.

Wasn't supposed that all Rambling releases in Japan are factory pressed?? What I'm missing? Please clarify, thanks!

I am no longer seeing any mention of WW84 being “Manufactured On Demand”.

But they also no longer have a ship date, nor Auto-Rip as an feature.

Any idea what’s going on? Have they sold through their second offering already?

I thought all Rambling Records releases were pressed, too. But for this release, they are clearly marking it as a CD-R, and when you translate the Japanese text it talks about it being a manufactured-on-demand item. It's very strange.

While the Auto-rip is not listed on the page, you can get it by using Amazon Chat. I asked for the WW84 download and got it. My physical CDs are still in transit. I'm supposed it get it tomorrow.

Thanks to Michael Scorefan for clueing me in to that. smile

welcome to the "professionally manufactured" era.
I have yet to see a single CD-R, which isn't done this shitty.


Mine arrived today and I'm absolutely satisfied with the product. The staple of the booklet is all right, the printing is justlike any other booklet, the discs look good and even the jewel case seems strong enough. I wouldn't tell it's a CD-R had I not known it.

Weird way to do a CD on demand. I placed an order with Amazon and it won’t ship until March 21!

Try importcds, it seems they have it in stock!

Oh that is what on-demand means exactly. I recently bought Batman v Superman, and it also had that mentioned on the order. But I received it just fine.

As it is a CDR release, short hand for "made-on-demand."

It's pretty simple. It has NEVER been there.

Just here to say that I finally watched this movie through HBO Sunday night and thought it was a good bit better than I had been led to believe it was going to be....first movie is better, but I was still entertained.

But I really love this score. I love how Hans' Beautiful Lie theme from BvS was interwove in "Lost and Found". I also enjoyed Cheetah's theme as well. Reminded me a bit of Catwoman's theme from Dark Knight Rises with the piano high octaves.

As far as the cd's go. I have to say that this is one of the BEST CD-R packages I've ever gotten from Amazon. The booklet is nice and stapled correctly and evenly, and the cd's themselves are much higher quality than what I got with my Xmen Apocalypse cdr. I bought both from Amazon, and this WW84 is much nicer. Just my 2cents.

Overall, really enjoy listening to this score. Favorite tracks are probably (in no particular order):

Themyscira
1984
Cheetah
Open Road
Lord of Desire
Lost and Found

It is a really good Zimmer score and I am not a fan of his output especially in recent years.

I finally got my CD copy of this score from Amazon and boy, it's so incredibly nice to just unequivocally enjoy a Zimmer score again from top to bottom. Nice to have you back in fun mode, HZ.

I've been hot then cold on this score. Now it's hot again. Enjoying the hell out of it. So I guess my final verdict is, I like it.
