    Well, that's great!
    I've always wanted an expanded release of this score! The Main Title with choir shall rock on!

    Yeah..because no one wanted Star Trek, Justin. rolleyes
  6. Did anyone else think:

    "Yes, a complete release of Goldsmith's Star Trek: The Motion Picture!!....crap, it's Giacchino's very recent release, expanding on an alreadily adequate release."

    A nod to Varese for pandering to the clamour for an expanded release of this but it's a bit of a hype-up by them. And is it a Club release?

  7. Not the slightest interest in Star Trek DE. I mean where did this come from? The movie was released only one year ago? confused

    I'm with Alan, the original release is more than enough for me. But it's good for those wanting double the amount of the theme... I mean motif.

    I think it's still wanted, but lots of people feel it's a letdown because someone mentioned Spartacus. (Who did, btw?)

    10 COMMANDMENTS is a great Bernstein score that I play quite often (love the "English-ness" of it), but the existing MCA release is more than fine enough.

    STAR TREK was just....ridiculous.
    I am extremely serious.

    So people are clamoring for a complete release since the original soundtrack comes out, and now it's here lots of people are complaining it isn't Spartacus. Great... rolleyes

    For my own part, I have no clamoring for a SPARTACUS (unlike 99% of everyone else, I know). I think the existing MCA release is fine. However, I do clamor for more completely unreleased items.

    I mentioned Spartacus!

    No, seriously, how do these rumours get started?
    How did this suddenly get to be a "dead given", rather than the completely out-of-the-blue, extremely wild guess by some overenthusiastic fan boy it really was?

    In scope of material presented, sure. But I'd certainly love to have a remastered one!
    It's yet another of the few CDs I have where the sound quality is actually diminishing my enjoyment of this magnificent score a bit!

  13. For me, it isn't the disappointment of not having the Spartacus announcement: I think Varese amended their own pre-release hype by saying that the release would be a 2-CD set rather than the expected 3-CD Spartacus set. So, Spartacus was taken out of the equation for this release.

    There's a disappointment that it's a club release of a title that was only made available in a general release form a year ago. I probably would not have gone for the original release had I known that this 2-CD version was in the works (maybe Varese themselves did not realise that they'd be doing this back then). Also, there's several Giacchino titles that aren't readily available at the moment that would have had the "special" feel that should be there for a Varese Club release.

    I wouldn't like the situation to be the norm where I'm wondering if a release today is going to be replaced by an expanded release a couple of months down the line.

    Semper Fi, Sky High, Alias Seasons 3-5 and Call Of Duty Finest Hour are the top MG scores of past that deserve to be released. But let's be honest - Star Trek will sell more than any of those.

    My only concern is Star Trek was the #1 selling album on iTunes, so restricting the complete score to CD is a little...interesting.

    Well, count me excited. Great that they've finally started releasing C&C editions of scores soon after the regular release instead of releasing them MORE THAN TWENTY-FIVE YEARS later. Ordered, of course.
    Only disappointment is that it's a Deluxe release. Much too expensive. (A Volume 2 release might have sufficed, even.)

    It will probably sell very well indeed. But, Varese have gained more in the long run by committing to a series of Giacchino's currently-unavailable titles such as the ones you mentioned - in my opinion anyway.

    For someone brought up in an environment where you had to wait tens of years for an expanded release I'm disappointed with this "must have it now" mentality.

    The wait of many years allows there to be a cooling off period where scores can be better assessed as to their quality. Currently, Giacchino's score is still in the middle of the hype. I'm not sure if, 10-20 years down the line, it will be seen as a "classic" or just very good.

  18. Looking at the new artwork, is the orientation of the artwork landscape rather than portrait?

    Talk about making it difficult. I've been trying to decide what artwork to use on the website, and I can't for the life of me figure out how it will be presented.

    I've settled on the original OST cover

    http://www.michaelgiacchinomusic.com/di … deluxe.htm

    But I think the Varese artwork above will be flipped 90 degrees CCW based on the dimensions, so like a sideways film case.

    Varese is gearing up for the Ubeda festival... obviously... the Lennerts debut, the Dave Grusin Club Realise, the Delux version of Star Trek. Well, no problem with that.

    Very disappointing releases for me but on the other hand I'm glad, it just means I don't have to fork out more money.

    Well, for one thing, I've had my share of waiting for decades for some stuff and for another, I think I can say of myself that I'm very patient, having enough CDs to enjoy during the wait.
    But I really don't see what is wrong with expanding it sooner rather than later? It's still an expansion, meaning one also gets the album release with the Thorry listening experience. Also, I'd rather have a chance to listen to it before I go into purgatory.

    Moreover, I'd say the hype is pretty much over; and while it's not a classic score, indeed, it is a very good one, and probably the most enjoyable one since Search for Spock.
    Also, there are a great many expansions nowadays of CDs of more than twenty years ago that probably don't even belong in the category "very good".

    I don't see the problem. It's just good to see that there's also some attention being given to newcomers or recent scores now and then, next to the huge, often exclusive, attention to the favourites of the handful of expanded soundtrack album producers.

    fucking waste of money, come on, why didn't they release this in the first place? Ah because everyone would buy the one CD first, and then one year later this double disc as everybody is a Giacchino fan. This is a shameful act of Varese.

    While it's great people will get now what they finally begged for, I don't care about this commercial stunt whatsoever angry

    You forgot about Star Trek V and VIII. Some would add VI but not me. shame

    I think Eidelman's VI is immensely underrated.
    It took a few listens from me (I started out quite underwhelmed) but I ended up really appreciating this work. It's powerful and thematic and really underscores what to all intents and purposes is the end of an era quite poignantly, without resorting to false sentimentalism.

    Really? I confess to not having listened to it more than two, three times. The overture is of course superb, but I remember not enjoying the rest of the score from those listens. Underwhelmed is the word here.

    Time to (re)discover this country then. smile
