Star Trek: TMP complete score coming June 5th!!
- Thread starter ScottDS
- Start date
Actually, having listened to a few videos with angklungs playing, I think maybe they aren't the source of the loud clicks, but may be part of the 2-note ostinato underneath them (though that's mainly marimba, I think). The angklungs in the videos have more of a xylophone-like sound, even a little bell-like.
The clicks could be as simple as hitting two sticks together.

^That's what I always figured. Seems to be the simplest way to go.
One thing I noticed is right before the first big "click" comes, there is a soft click a half-beat early (right before the scene change from the cloud to the Klingon ships). I wonder if that was intentional, or if one of the musicians screwed up and started too soon. Or if it was some inadvertent noise in the background. Seems like it would be too big of a mistake for it to go unnoticed, especially for essentially the first dramatic beat after the few seconds of dissonance. But it just sounds too wrong to my ears for it to be intentional.

^Funny, I've been listening to it that way for 3/4 of my life, so it sounds exactly right to me. 
Ok... question for everyone. On 2 July my order status did change from "On Hold" to shipping in 2-3 days. However it's been stuck on that ever since. Anything I should do to sort this out?
From their facebook page, "LA LA LAND RECORDS IS GOING OUT OF TOWN
As some of you may know, we will be at COMIC CON starting Tuesday July 10 and will be returning Monday July 16.
Our shipping department will be closing down at 12:01 am pst starting Monday July 9 and will reopen at 9 am pst on Tuesday July 17. Any orders received between July 9 - July 16 will not be shipped off until July 17.
If you have any questions regarding your orders chances are pretty good no one will be able to answer them until we resume our regular office duties on July 17 ("duties" hehehehe)

Thank you

Well, I finally got mine! I called them again on Tuesday and the fellow on the phone had no record of a replacement being sent out 2 weeks ago. Said he would have one out in the morning. He sure did because it came priority mail the next day! 
Already impressed with what I heard in the car. Ripping it to various devices right now.

As soon as I see any mention of a limited number of units, I lose all interest. If a company has decided that they won't be wanting my money during a time frame of my choosing that's their business... or lack thereof.
Yes, you've nailed the business model exactly. It has nothing to do with the economics of musicians re-use fees and other production considerations. It's because they don't want you to have time to make up your mind.
Folks and I from the filmscore monthly board have located three sources that have used the alternate "Inner Workings" take.

You are factually incorrect.
Amounts under 10,000 actually come under an archival rate that makes it financially viable to put the music out on CD.
If they made it unlimited, they would not recoup their costs, as the rate would be an ungodly amount for anyone to lay down for a soundtrack re-release.
Labels estimate how many copies will sell, and that is how they generally come up with the number for a limited release.
Intrada actually changed the way they do thing by not announcing a limited number, but ordering more until interest wanes, or until they reach 10,000 units.
And sometimes, depending on the demand, a limited edition will remain on sale for months or even years before it sells out. It's just a limited number of units, not a limited time on sale. The first time I learned about a couple of limited-edition CD sets I desperately wanted, I was nearly broke, and I was worried that they'd sell out before I could afford to buy them. But when my next novel advance came months later and I finally got out of the hole, they were still available.
Now that I've got all the versions... original album CD, the two-disc anniversary edition, now this complete score along with alternates... I don't know what to do with myself.
Sure, I like them all. But there are differences between each with different tracks from every version that I like more than others. Must I compile a custom-made soundtrack score of my own choosing?
As it is with variations of the film itself--original theatrical release, special longer version, director's edition--I have my own preferences for the soundtrack.
I will pick and choose tracks and assemble my own selections, evidently. If only I could do the same with the film, as well.

Many of the people that worked on this and other Star Trek soundtrack re-issues, including yours truly, will be having a discussion about Star Trek music at the upcoming Creation convention in Las Vegas on August 10. Here are the details:
"4:50pm Exploring the Star Trek music renaissance
In the last few years much of the music of Star Trek has been remastered and re-released in new extended and complete collections. TrekMovie contributor and "Music of Star Trek" author JEFF BOND will moderate a panel featuring Film Score Monthly's LUKAS KENDALL, re-release albums co-producer NEIL S BULK and LaLaLand Records executive album producers MV GERHARD and MATT VERBOYS as they discuss their recent and upcoming Star Trek music releases and talk about how they are restoring Star Trek music history."
I hope you all can make it!
