The reason I posted it in 112 rather than 320 is because 112 is the bitrate that was made available to me.

Thanks

Nice! Thanks a lot!

thanks! and this has me so excited for the film now, "saving new york" is a def highlight

Any bitrate at this point is appreciated! Thank you!! :)

I put the 128k version I got from a Chinese website in the 'preview' thread hours before, and it really doesn't suffer the usual quality issues at that bitrate.

No idea where this 112k version came from but they're probably a re-encode of the mp3s I uploaded.

Thanks sooooooooooo very much!

It was sounding good on my poor little system earlier. I am liking the score. I only got about half way through for now, though. I still can't quite match it to an our right superhero movie, though. No t yet. It will be better to hear it in context, I think.

Nope, YouTube rip. The audio bitrate from the video was 112. And the videos were posted way early in the morning yesterday, but I only got around to downloading and ripping the audio late last night/this morning. So I didn't steal it from you if that's what you were implying.

LOL! Whole bars lifted from Star Trek II - and I'm only on track 2. James Horner - bringing you the same score again and again since 1982!

And... apart from that, what an alarmingly good score so far. Still drowned in the modern slamming percussion and hopeless electronica that we have come to expect... but underneath the noise is melody, drama, and suspense.

Am I the only one here who can't download it because mediafire still says errors? Too many people downloading perhaps...

Thanks a bunch, tango!

Thanks! Can't wait to hear it!

Thank you! I am definitely loving the crap out of the score. There's some Hornerisms here and there but they don't distract me as much as on other Horner's score.
It's an absolutely fantastic job from non other than The Amazing James Horner! :D There's so many favorite tracks to name that I just can't do it right now.

Thanks a lot !

This came out online quite fast. Still waiting for "People Like Us" to be released :)

excellent my friend...thanks

Thanks my friend! I am really looking forward to this score :D

I was not implying that, I was saying that it would've been easier (and better quality) to just grab the mp3s I put up, rather than ripping the videos at a lower quality since the videos were put up by a member here (mgm5215) who used the mp3s I uploaded as a source.

Okay, well, I didn't know that your 128 upload existed. If I had, I probably would've downloaded it.

Here it is:

128k source of YT version (http://www.sendspace.com/file/jdm0ml)

is this the full soundtrack??

is this the full soundtrack??

Yes, it seems so. So, higher bit rates and splashier posts and pics ought tobe sprouting like crabgrass soon enough....but, beware of transcodes of this 128 set.

Thanks very much for this. I love it so far.

Considering the YouTube is a re-encode of the 128k mp3s I uploaded, quite a lot, actually.

You miss my point 112kbps~128Kbps is all the same regardless of source and how it was upconverted, the fact is this a great sampler of this soundtrack, and thank you for the upload.

But it wasn't upconverted.

It was downconverted.

I downloaded the 128k mp3s from a Chinese music streaming website and uploaded them. The reason I uploaded them instead of just pointing the way to the site, is because it had a geographic restriction on it (like how Hulu and American TV network websites don't allow people outside the U.S. to watch their shows), so I used a proxy to fool the site into thinking I was in China so I could listen. My browser's download add-on detected the source mp3s so I grabbed them and tagged them in my iTunes. mgm5215 downloaded them and put them onto YouTube, meaning the music was converted to AAC during the video upload (or even possibly something else for the videos themselves first) and then someone downloaded the videos, probably not at their highest quality (but really, who knows) and converted them to mp3 again, this time at 112k.

So they were likely re-encoded once for the videos, then encoded again for YouTube's upload, then re-encoded to mp3 again for this download here.

Doesn't matter thanks for the effort and the time to upload.

The CD will be out soon enough for those that want full aural bliss.

Many thanks!

Thanks

It is funny how the 128kbps for this sounds so much better than the other recent 128kbps leaks of other scores that were full of artifacts. The score is indeed full of hornerisms but the love theme is quite lovely. What I don't understand is how the use of middle-eastern styled vocals makes sense in this score considering it is a Spiderman film.

Been waiting for this. Thanks.

Now the waiting game for Brave.

What I don't understand is how the use of middle-eastern styled vocals makes sense in this score considering it is a Spiderman film.

They aren't African vocals? I was thinking it's some kind of association with Anansi, the spider god from African folklore. :shrugs:

Enjoy and Please Say Thanks :)

Thanks!!

Thanks!

thanks!!!

Thank you....I guess I will be the first to ask...Lossless?

Thanks!! :D how is it?? does it have a good main theme??

There's already a thread on this Konio.

This will be enough to wait for a digital or CD release. Also, CDs are out on July 7th I think

Thanks!! :D how is it?? does it have a good main theme??

If you think the theme he used in Beautiful Mind and Bicentennial Man was perfect for a Spider-Man theme, then yes. If you were hoping for something original, then no.

I was thinking it's some kind of association with Anansi, the spider god from African folklore.

That's quite interesting. If it's true then Horner did a piece of good job writing the score.
And in my opinion, this score sounds like it's "A Beautiful Mind part two".

Edit: a little bit of clicking and guess what I found:

"In the Marvel Comics mini-series Spider-Man Fairy Tales a story is told where Spider-Man takes on the role of Anansi. He is on a quest to gain more power after feeling unappreciated."

That would truly be amazing, if he'd read that and considered that. How appropriate! ...actually, fuck it. I'm going to believe he did his research and that's why it was included. You heard it here first, James Horner is a Spiderman comic nerd.

@Biggs v.2 I never said that Horner read the comics and that's why he did what he did. Actually my first guess was he did a research and that's more likely. The quote was just to bring the facts to our attention.

Does anyone think this is quite a quiet score? I'm not complaining at all - it's just that the volume on my speakers has to be at 26-28 before it is loud enough to be enjoyable. I'm just wondering if anyone thinks this is because of it being ripped from a website rather than from the CD? Although I recall Avatar's soundtrack being pretty quiet too so it could be a Horner thing...

No. It's sound very well, not low mixed as Deep Impact.

If you think the theme he used in Beautiful Mind and Bicentennial Man was perfect for a Spider-Man theme, then yes. If you were hoping for something original, then no.

The big brass melody in the first track is the Spider-Man theme, which is indeed original.

That sounds NOTHING like the piano motif in those scores.

You want to rag on Horner, get your facts straight first.

I love the main theme but the first four notes are part of the main themes of 2012 and Percy Jackson. And a love theme from Harry Potter And The Half-Blood Prince.

Thanks!! :D how is it?? does it have a good main theme??

Absolutely awesome! Main Theme feels really heroic and much better than Elfman's attempt imo.

I love both themes, Elfman was more heroic someitmes, this one kinda suits more to this Spider-Man.
Still, love both.

O.o James Horner scoring this? Damn I should pay attention, this movie has not been on my radar. With that said, thanks a lot, this will be exciting!

But...we get this score..but not Spider-Man 3? The world stopped being fair a long time ago. It's an insult that the Spidey 3 score was never given a proper release.

Yeah, but at least the complete score is leaked. Also, there's the fact that Spider-Man 3 was very controversial on everything related to it. This one is not.

By the by, can anyone point me to an active link to the best fx free Spidey 3 boot? I have never really listened to any of them, but now I am very curious to compare.

Thanks a lot!

It was a joke. Over-react much?

Wow. What a bold statement. The score is quite decent but nowhere near Elfman's. IMO, still.

thanks!!! :)

Didn't even make it through the entire album. Bored me to tears. I deleted it.

Come on. With such a melodic and thematic writing (something that it was become very rare in recent superhero scores) how could you bore with it?

I haven't downloaded yet - I would like to experience it with a good quality release first - but comments like these give me hope. Not just for the score, but also for future ones. Too long has Hans Zimmer dominated the music-sphere. Time for the classically inspired composers to take the stage again!

Thank you.

A must buy for me! Thanks!

Although only 128, this set does not sound bad at all. It is a really good preview. But, I still contend that it would be best to hear it in the film first. With no reference, the cues may seem a bit random. I like it. It does seem to be a bit quirkier and lighter than Elfman's, which I suspect may be true for this new film as a whole. We shall see.

Thanks man! Give it a shoot!

Thanks man! Give it a shoot!

Or a shot..lol

Did i just herd a little bit of danny elfman-ish music on "lizard at school!" around 2.20??

It's an ok score, i feel that the theme from Elfman was perfect, but also works to see it with the movie, so we have to wait until the movie comes out�.

I've seen the film and much of it is Horner up to his usual schticks and piano motifs. The score is frequently obtrusive and loudly mixed. However pleasant to listen to it's way too much in the film.

Yes, go listen to crap like Inception or The Dark Knight instead. Apparently the art of quality film music eludes you.

This bored me to tears not because I would rather listen to non-musical trash (read: most Hollywood scores of the last ten to fifteen years) but because it's just a painful reminder of what a superhero score once sounded like... to what Horner once sounded like. I still think this is a step in the right direction, but if I'm in a superhero mood I won't be turning to this, or Elfman's Spiderman, or Silvestri's Avengers... I'll go to Williams' Superman, Elfman's Batman (now twenty three years old; holy crap, feel old yet???) etc. If I'm in a Horner mood I'll go to Krull, Rocketeer, Star Trek II.

This is a surprisingly good score, and it does a lot of things right. It's a step up from Avatar. It's twenty steps up from the average sort of score a contemporary blockbuster would usually get... but "quality film music" I would dispute. It's a step in the right direction, but anybody thinking this is anywhere near the calibre of the great scores of the past... well, it's not. Much to the disadvantage of us all.

What's great about it... THEMES, lots of themes! Themes you can hang your hat on, as Bill Conti once discussed. A genuine sense of symphonic progression, development, and thinking going on.

At the same time, could be so much better. Horner, like every composer, comes under the oppressive boot of the test audience (and the studio executives) who are still too afraid of having a score which is overtly melodic or robustly symphonic. So they slot in what they can whilst trying not to offend the modern sensibility. Every time they manage to push just a little bit further.

Baby steps, baby steps... Perhaps one day we will again hear something genuinely worthy of being called "great"... I hope so. This score gives me optimism. We're not there yet, but the time may come.

thnaks reoploat 320 kbps thanks

is it a better quality rip available yet? or is it that old 118 horrible one that's circulating still.....thanks

the links above are dead btw

I had no idea it was James Horner! My favorite composer!

WOAH:

Did anyone else hear allusions to "The Butterfly Comb" from Titanic in the beginning of "Rooftop Kiss"? This track we've been wanting for years?

I think he may have done us a nice favor.

And lately he's been doing tons of revamps and allusions to older scores, which I love!

The link in the first post is fine. It asks for a captha is all. Works fine. This is a 128 rip. I have seen nothing else, likely the cd is not out yet.

"I've seen the film and much of it is Horner up to his usual schticks and piano motifs. The score is frequently obtrusive and loudly mixed. However pleasant to listen to it's way too much in the film."


NOOO. Inception was overly loud and obtrusive. Makes the movie completely unwatchable. I cannot judge this score yet, so won't. But at another site we have a thread on good action cues that are tense, and we listed our opinions. I have downloaded other's picks to listen and deleted two thirds of them. For exactly the opposite reason you have. It is all texture and waves of sound-ish noise. No big set pieces, no themes..no ACTION. I get that modern trend is for a movie's score to barely noticeable in a film. Perhaps because of the demand to here every noise orecisely..."you can HEAR him sweat"....but I prefer the older style with music actually integral to the scene, rising with the action instead of hiding behind it. Williams, Horner, Goldsmith at their peak in late 70's to mid 80's. A time I fear is gone for good. Or at leaqst in my lifetime.

I think it's a lovely score, undeniably "new" Horner but still fresh sounding. Love the synth sounds. Looking forward to seeing the film.

I prefer a loud mix instead of the score being drowned by sound effects like most of blockbusters this days. That means that the director and editor wants the score to shine instead of being practically inaudible.

The score being too loud is why I don't enjoy it in Inception either. It overpowers everything.

At the same time that is absolutely NOT the fault of the composer if a score is too loudly mixed, though people enjoy blaming composers anyway. Composers don't have any say on the final sound mix of a film but they get the blame.

I've never known a composer to get blamed for a poor mix; only for poor music. Of course, if the music is poor then it will be more conspicuous if mixed loudly... ;)

I see it all the time and there's usually a bias associated with it. With the internet it's usually just people who assume it was "written" too loud versus mixed too loud.

Otherwise critics seem to hate film music anyway and bash it often.

thank u brethren

Is Simon Rhodes behind this or are you guys talking about the Sound Mixers from the film?

Is Simon Rhodes behind this or are you guys talking about the Sound Mixers from the film?

sound mixers from the film.

They control the mix (music, dialogue, sound effects) according to the director's wishes. If the director wants wall-to-wall music, more score is written or just edited to sound that way. If the director wants the music cranked up in a scene, same thing. If you hear the same chunk of music repeated over and over in the film, same thing. The composer has no final word on that whatsoever. They can add their two cents and the director might listen, might not but once it's done, they have to put up with it. If a score is butchered in the film by the sound editors, that's just plain too bad for the composer.

Thanks!
