I'm hoping, as I say, the tracks here are of good length and are not a mish mash of music from the wrong scene trying to sneak by in another cue (see the original TPM CDs 'Main Title & Arrival at Naboo' for that)...

The main reason to release a complete TPM score is to hear the original version of the battle music at the end of the film, and since the UE simply pulled badly cut music stems off the DVD master, it holds little appeal for me.

Plus it really annoys me that Lucasfilm would endorse and profit by such a shoddy treatment of Williams' score.

The UE certainly filled some holes, but I have the 2 CD Empire Strikes Back CD spinning right now as I type this. That release is damn near perfection.

Amen - that release is just jaw-droppingly gorgeous. There is so much good music in TESB... I only hope that the score to Episode 2, with all the similarities (structurally) that have been made to TESB, lives up to the same level of perfection.

In his "sneak peek", Harry Knowles mentioned Williams' score a few time, even going so far as to say that "Williams’ DUEL OF THE FATES was nothing in comparison to this" when talking about the fight scenes.... so I'm eager to find out! April can't come soon enough.....

Let's go AOTC!!

I'll do my usual wait until I hear the music in the film to buy the CD...whether or not they use spoilers as track titles, I think listening to the music beforehand is sometimes a spoiler.

I mean, think about it. If you closed your eyes while you opened the first TPM CD (to avoid seeing the track titles) and put it into your player, then heard the Emperor's theme in track 14, then you wouldn't have that surprise/intrigue about the whole Palpatine/Sidious plot.

I didn't think the Emperor's theme in TPM affected my viewing of the film for the first time, nor do I think any theme that shows up in Episode 2 will affect how I see the film either.... it's nice to go into a movie "fresh", certainly, but when the score is just too "anticipated", you'd be hard pressed to keep me from listening to it as soon as possible!

For years now I have been listening to scores outside the context of the film, and then find when I go into the movie, it takes on new (and usually better) context.

I feel exactly the same way. In many cases too, hearing the score beforehand alowing myself to picture what may be going on up on the screen as a specific cue plays out, only makes my want to see that specific film even stronger.
