    I agree that an expensive special edition is not exciting for everyone (I wont buy it either) but I'm still glad that he made the package. Today we get more and more digital downloads only and it's great that the die hard fans can buy something more special if they want.

    Well... as there are plenty of people concerned about paying 110,- dollars for a classic score (Spartacus), why bother making a 250,- (!!) package for a non-commercial, new, small score? I mean, if there's a market for it, fine, but I really can't figure out why they thought all of these would sell, and why this would a score that would warrant such a release confused (lovely though it is).

    I'm extremely puzzled by such a lavish package for a fun but obscure score for a minor production.
    Even at a limited edition of 250, I greatly wonder who do their target audience is? (serious question by the way, as I cannot figure it out for the life of me).

  6. I think that it's good that this sort of thing is available for those who want it. I assume that Badelt doesn't need to spend anything up front in order to produce this. If people want it then they'll put it together for them?

    I was quite serious to know what sort of people this was aimed at, or who would buy that.
    (Not "would if money was available" but actually, physically purchased it).

    I'm seriously intrigued by the marketing idea behind this, but I guess the sales department for the composer store won't be looking/posting here, so the next best thing is to get into the mind of "other side".

    Yes, of course I know it's aimed at "the collector", but that's a little too abstract for me.
    Why this score? Why this film? Why this composer?

    The same questions Martijn poses came up to me too. I'm really puzzled about this, and I studied marketing!
  11. Maybe the composer is testing the market? With the first available score that he can try this out with. Most composers are really very much sold to their own compositions and I imagine that they are hopeful that people would want to buy this.

    Everyone has their own "special" music examples. Maybe this will be someones own best score. And if someone wants a memento of such a score then this would be an ideal purchase?

    Well, i think things are always simpler than what we make them to be:

    Obviously this is a package for badelt nutjob collectors. If he made 300 of those packages with his team (i.e. minimum cost) for instance, i am sure he'll sell them.

    Now I think of it, there's a logical explanation for doing this on a film like this, instead of a big commercial film with a large audience: cheap re-use fees and minimum hassle over legal rights. It makes the package (relatively!) cheap.

    I'm guessing this was a score that Badelt was very proud of, and he wanted it presented as comprehensively as possible. Inspired by the SPARTACUS ordeal, he decided to give it a shot.

    Yeah... But it is a really cool idea and it is something I'd really like to see with other scores, so I hope it's successful enough for him or others to consider similar packages in the future.

    The Extra Man is really a nice score! It's kind of in the same zone as some of Le Petit Nicolas as far as mood and has a really great ensemble feel. Since it's a complete score it does get a bit repetitive, but a playlist of highlights makes for a very nice little album:

    1. Daydream
    2. 232 E 91st St.
    3. Mary
    4. Odd Henry Story
    5. Driving to South Hampton
    6. Russian Tea Room
    7. Vivian to Bed
    8. Burglar
    9. Rejection
    10. Mirror, Mirror
    11. Henry Returns
    12. Homeless Montage
    13. Louis Promotion
    14. Rice

    Seems like Badelt is coming into his own as a composer. Nice to see him having control over some of his more minor scores, like L'Arnacoeur and The Extra Man.

    That's what you get when you don't try and make the orchestra sound like synthesizers.

    Actually, I think that's what you DO get when you try to make an orchestra sound like a synth.

    While it's fun as a sort of curiousity to hear the music in an orchestra-only format, it doesn't really suit it well. This is music that is not composed based on traditional symphonic rules. It's a prog rock-type idiom with simultaneous chord changes etc. that are not natural to an orchestra. Orchestra is only used as colourization and augmentation in the "power anthem" style, of which this is a typical example.

    So while it's kinda fun and while I really like the power anthem style in general, I don't think this is the best way to showcase the music. It's a bit like those LSO Plays Classic Rock albums, in fact. I'd rather have the original rock songs.

    May I also say that I don't understand the constant need to have a huge screen with images from the film during such concerts. Here is FINALLY a chance for the music to get full attention and prove its worth as an independent musical expression, and then people watch the screens as if it were basically just a cinemagoing experience. But I know I'm in the minority on that, especially considering that the target audience is wider than the film score nerd.
    I am extremely serious.
