Thank You.
I planned to buy it, but I wanted to hear it first.

This is nowhere near as good as his Iron Man 3 score.....in fact this score just fuckin sucks..... a real shame..I�m going back to listen to his Partition score..... I know he�s a drummer at heart but christ can he at least lay off the Percussion once and awhile..... He�s still doing the Zimmer .... Pounding drums ..... christ that fuckin Remote Control sound..... fuck you Zimmer...... fuck you to high heaven.....................arghhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
This guy has real talent and he�s being beatin down by the system..... modern day Hollywood


Actually having listened to it twice..... Zimmer could only dream about writing a score like this...... Still Brian Tyler is better than this

Anyone know where to get digital booklet�?

Thanks Sunderella !!!!

Thank you very much for this early gift.

Thanks a lot :D

Rocklegend2000 .I�m going back to listen to his Partition score.....
A lovely score from Brian Tyler I agree.

---------- Post added at 08:28 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:08 AM ----------

I'm on the first 6 tracks and it sounded like there's indeed too much percussion going on all over. Zimmer sounds written all over it. Too bad Brian can do much better than this. A fine example would be his Battle LA music.

Thanks sunderella! I intend to buy it when it gets released, but with your generosity I can listen to it til release date! :D

Thank you for the link.

Thanks!

Many Thanks, Sunderella !!!

He wrote a great theme, but he uses too much of it, just like he did in his Iron Man 3 score. Still a good score, just not up to the standard set by Iron Man 3.

Thanks you.

I like this new theme. Another!! "smashes PC"

Don't know about you guys but I'm definitely gonna enjoy this, and hopefully there's more awesome stuff in the film and in the sessions.

Thank you for the upload. As someone who didn't care very much for Brian Tyler's score for IronMan 3, I'm hoping that it'll be a better score this time

Awesome! Thank you!

Thanks!!!! :)

I was hoping Thor 2 would be better than Ironman 3. IM3 sucks! The score however is another story as it has some good moments in it. Here's hoping this would be more epic and grander in scope and scale musically.

Thanks! :D

Thank you!

Thanks man!

Will there be an actual (as in non-digital) disc release for this? I would think certainly so, yet Amazon only offers MP3, no CD. Curious...

Yes. It's probably not released yet, though.

Intrada will release it November 12th

Thank you!

Thank you!

OMG.......T H O R.......!!!

Thanks!

Many thanks for the share. Tyler did a great Iron Man score, so I have high hopes for this after Patrick Doyle.

I knoW just from the MuSuC.....the music makes me think non stop action.... epic its THOR........!!!

Thanks!

Whoa!! Listen to track 19. An Unlikely Alliance. Tyler has referenced Silvestri's Captain America theme.

Awesome, thanks!

I think this score rocks!!

Tyler's derivative talent has never interested me… And this tedious regurgitation here of every RC clich� in the catalogue ably reminds me of why.

What do you guys think about the theme and the rest of the score?

It sucks !!!!

Whoa!! Listen to track 19. An Unlikely Alliance. Tyler has referenced Silvestri's Captain America theme.

… why? Did he forget which movie he was scoring?

Is it just me or the recording is very bad. Drowned in bass, drum in a front, almost no reverb. Crap. The main theme is nice tho.

What do you guys think about the theme and the rest of the score?

Haven't had time to listen to all of it, but I'm liking it so far. I was really glad to hear at least remnants of Doyle's Asgard theme in there.

Thanks for the upload. But.....dammit dammit dammit.......Brian Tyler has been caught up in the movie studio's current "let's have every score sound like The Dark Knight trilogy & Inception" mantra. Tyler doing the infamous "Horn of Doom" just isn't right. I'll be so glad when this trend dies.

Thank you ever so much for this!

A little too late but he recently talked about THOR to me a few days ago in this interview:

Did ya ask him why he sounds like that feckin Hack Zimmer when he's capable of so much much more.....

Pretty sure we can all answer that... it's just all so much assembly-line work. Especially on such a tough deadline.

The sound quality is dreadful, the score is generic, If only someone like John Powell had those assignments...

thanks.

Thank you so much! November 5th was the American release!

I like this new theme. Another!! "smashes PC"

Don't know about you guys but I'm definitely gonna enjoy this, and hopefully there's more awesome stuff in the film and in the sessions.

I'm sure that there will be more intersting stuff on the sessions, if they ever get to see the light of the cyber-day that is. Sessions for Iron Man 3 are nowhere to be found, but there's still hope.

� why? Did he forget which movie he was scoring?

No. The question becomes, "Is Cap referenced in the film"?

No. The question becomes, "Is Cap referenced in the film"?


Spoiler alert.... :)

Will give it a try although I don't like Tyler's style that much.
Anyway, thanks for the share, Sunderella!

thank you!

cool, Thanx a bunch

It saddens me to see how one person can be filled with so much hatred towards Zimmer. Do you even know him? Ever met him? If you hate his sound just don't listen to him. I can't stand Lady Gaga and Katy Perry, you don't see me cursing them to high heavens. No, instead I just don't listen to them

How actiony IS this?

YAY! Thanx!!!!

How actiony IS this?

Actiony!

Thank you so much :)

Indeed very actiony, and LOUD with DRUMS xD

frankly I wasnt reminded of Zimmer until 'Uprising'

at which point I kept expecting Bane to pop up

Too much drums!! Indeed this has just become another generic pastiche of Zimmer and company scores. Now if even the likes of Alan Silvestri, Trevor Rabin, Patrick Doyle, Mark Mancina, Alexandre Desplat and the rest of the few bunch become RCPfied, then i'd be damned well all be in a frenzy of listening to a film score full of "the Stepford Wives" looking good and better in the first look and in the outside but lacks heart, complexity, individuality and originality! Pastiches' from a Pastiche scores.

Wow, thanks a bunch for this!! Can't wait to give this a listen!

Stepford Wives

HA! Spot on.

Thanks! And here's a mirror (http://ul.to/6add5pz2)!

Many thanks for posting this.

Where was this score recorded?? Abbey Road??

Thanks! And here's a mirror (http://ul.to/6add5pz2)!

oh look a mirror and not a separate thread of the exact same thing

Thanks!!

Thank you! Can't wait to hear!

thanks, so glad brian tyler scored this but wish these movies would keep some continuity instead of a new composer each film.

Thank you

Many thanks!

thaaaaaanks :D

Thanks a million!

Thanks!

Thanks, Sundy.

Wow, the "Marvel Studios Fanfare" bears a striking resemblance to Bear McCreary's work on Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. It would be pretty weird to tack a lone McCreary track onto the end of a Tyler album, though, so I doubt it's him. Still, the piece is very much in line with the T.V. series:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OLwS94HD9xE

Awesome!!! Thanks for sharing~~~

Thank you so much! Cannot wait to hear what it sounds like.
hahah213 - I will let you know what I think, once I listen to it. :-) Very excited!

Hey Rocklegend2000,

I think it�s a very nice score, powerful and with interesting ideas (despite I hoped to listen to something a bit more operatic and Wagnerian here, because of the topic), but I have to recognise there is a bit of that virus called Remote Control here and there, when the percussion is predominant. Anyway, when it follows a different path we can enjoy Tyler�s music! and it�s clearly something Zimmer would never do, because his mediocre methods...
I totally agree with you about about the SYSTEM today. Remote Control and Zimmer are a real disease that�s destroying everyday the essence of filmscores in Hollywood. What a shame! everything has to sound the same way? is not possible to listen to different styles and ideas? maybe the mucis has to become a disposable product?. I really hope this fucking and predominant system can be beating down by a bunch of really good composers still doing their way being original despite the circumstances...

No. The question becomes, "Is Cap referenced in the film"?

Having just seen an advance screening of the film last night, I can answer: no, he's not merely referenced. Cap does actually show up�kind of. (I'm not joking, I'm about to spoil this for you, so if you don't want to know, turn back now!) It's not really Cap...Loki's doing his disguise magic and makes himself look like like a couple of different people, including Cap. (Chris Evans must've had a blast doing that scene!) And just wait 'til you see who Loki makes Thor look like! :D

As to the score, I rather liked it. It felt different to me than Iron Man 3 (which it should), and didn't feel intrusive or distracting from the action on screen. But, to each their own. :)

Thanks for the share!

This is Tyler's best score since Children Of Dune and definitely the best Marvel score to date. I hope Tyler does Avengers 2.

Thanks so much for this. Will give it a listen!

oh man...sounds like TDKR and Man of Steel...poor :(

Oh.. Brian your life is complete. Two Marvels this year and one Assassin's Creed(that's freaking awesome).

Shame on me, HERE (Thread 162773) is the Assassin's Creed Score! Don�t like my post, like the thread of the uploader!

Some people just can't live until, or in other words, they live only to put down people who are their sources of hatred. Kinda childish, of course, but that's how some people are. Best thing to do is ignore them altogether.

thankz Sunderella

I have not listened to this yet.

But.

While I make no bones about my dislike of recent Zimmer and RCP scores, I "attack" the music, not the composer. Finding composers to "beat back" against modern composing styles is unlikely. These folks are hired to do a job and are subject to the director and producer's wishes. Failing to comply gets you score rejected and yourself fired. So, they comply. If you want to get to the root of the problem, it is modern filmmakers and their style wishes, not the composers merely doing their jobs.

This is Tyler's best score since Children Of Dune and definitely the best Marvel score to date. I hope Tyler does Avengers 2.

Well, personally, I'm not really sure if I'd be into it. I like Tyler's score for IM3, it's the first one I've heard from him and I feel he managed to mix the style of the first two films and add his own spin to it, finally giving the character a significant theme, something the first two apparently couldn't pull off. I haven't yet heard the score he wrote for this one except tracks 1 and 26, and what I've heard in movie clips, and it seems that he striked it again creating a new sound for Thor, but after coming to terms with Henry Jackman replacing Alan Silvestri on Cap 2, I couldn't accept that they'd replace him on Avengers as well.

With Cap it doesn't really matter; after all, reassigning themes to characters in individual films is practically a habit for Marvel, besides Jackman's take on it will surely be interesting, but The Avengers is much more different. I feel that, as an entity, Silvestri's Avengers theme represents exactly what the movie is supposed to be, a group of superheroes coming together, and I wouldn't enjoy Marvel throwing that to the garbage by hiring a new composer.

I'm a great fan of Jackman and Tyler's growing on me, but Silvestri's name is bigger than them both combined, as is his signature style and musical prowess, if you will. I wouldn't care if they were to reprise or reference old themes from previous movies, and seeing how Tyler handled IM3 (and based on comments here that he referenced themes from Asgard and Cap on this one) I'm getting my hopes on, but as far as Marvel goes, it's almost certain they'll want a new sound for the team in case they replace Silvestri.

Good thing that you brought up that subject, since not many people do. That's exactly something I thought about last night, you know? Something never absent in forums and comment sections regarding film scores is composers being trashed and bashed left and right, but not a single producer or director is ever attacked by no one, despite the obvious fact that the scores on films end the way they do due to their feedback/input. Countless cases of producers unhappy with a composer's take on a film and them being subsequently fired from said film (or dropping it due to creative concerns) have been well known, but some haters believe that the composer is solely responsable for a score's success or misfires, as if the director gave them free will to write whatever they want and then put it in the film no questions asked. As with another comment I just replied a while ago, some people only hate composers for the sake of hating them, spreading their hatred everywhere and insulting whomever questions or refutes their claims, instead of simply backing off and avoiding them. That's just childish trolling there.

Silvestri's avengers theme was amazing but overall his score while really fitting the film well was just generic action music for example, where was some huge chorus for thor like in brian tyler's score who btw is honestly brilliant with what he can do as a composer, compare this thor score to his fast and furious score's and you can see this guy can handle anything but I really hope we haven't seen the last of the iron man 3 theme as imo that is tyler's best theme to date. Also who's idea was it to hire silvestri on avengers? as joss whedon is directing number 2 so what reason would they have to replace him?

Thank you ^^

I thought about that afterwards... on The Avengers' wikipedia entry there's a quote from Joss about Silvestri's work on the film; it looks like he asked Silvestri to come back in the first place. I started to think that he could be replaced after Marvel let Carter Burwell go of Thor 2 regardless of the director's wishes, supposedly for creative differences. Hopefully, being the godfather of the MCU, and the brain that pulled all the money and all, maybe Joss has more freedom from behalf of the studio to shape the project to his vision of the story. It's very likely that Silvestri will return, but with Marvel nothing is written in stone. If there's something that Marvel Studios has been known for a while is their infamous human resources department.

Thanks Much!

Yes I have met him.... a couple of times..... he�s a nice guy and knows his limitations in film scoring hence why he has a bunch of hired hands helping him write and complete his scores but his influence and business set-up and his idea of scoring movies has and is destroying an art form.... even in Music scoring academys they are starting to take the Zimmer scoring route.... the dumbing down that Zimmer has done to this art form is irrepairable.... Zimmer�s film scoring comes from the world of Pop.... he has created an industry based on the Pop world were all it�s hits are written in a similar style and from a factory product line in L.A.

I have no desire to listen to Katy Perry either but I love film music.... so the comparision is mute.... you have choice in the Pop world.... right now in the movie world I don�t.... considering the majority of films now are scored in the same style buy a Hack that seems to moan about his sound being used and abused but does nothing to change it..... Thor was a perfect time to have something epic (jesus I hate that word) but what we got was a very talented guy who can write great themes being told to sound like that Hack Zimmer as Marvel chase the dollars.... Sad times ahead

I don�t listen to Zimmer at all.... Life is too short....I stopped listening to Zimmer almost 10 years ago as all his stuff is the same....Interchangeable with any film he�s scored.... This guy is worse than Horner for recycling stuff.... but at least Horner is talented and understands music and themes... Didn�t Zimmer once say that there�s too many notes....... Guys a hack..... There�s only 8 notes in a scale...... The guy is a hack ;)

you know I agree Zimmer is not as great as he used to be

but his scores sounding the same? I never had that feeling myself

you know I agree Zimmer is not as great as he used to be

Agrees on the first line, totally disagrees on the 2nd line. :)

It's a fine example of probably producers taking charge of the creative direction of where the music should go, and in that route the Zimmer style so called modern scores. Less complicated, often generic sounding and deafening barrage of noises and drum rolls. As a fan of Brian Tyler, I am sadly disappointed to hear what could have been another memorable superhero score with brilliant orchestrations and melodic themes but no just another drivel of generic pounding scores in the RCP style. With this happening I am more thrilled than having Jackman score Captain America 2 than Tyler because if this where to be the direction it would go then why not just copy paste the TDKR scores and be done with it. The good thing though Jackman is also a member of RCP the guy knows his classical music well and is trained at that. He also mentioned in one of his interviews that he once marvel at the music of "Predator" the score by Silvestri and has great deal of respect and admiration for the latter. Well as far as the Avengers 2 is concerned, I believed Joss has more say to where the music would go and I really hope he hires Silvestri again to resume the scoring duty.

I think perhaps Marvel wants a similar musical "feel" for their universe.The "epic" orchestral style of film score is pretty much over with. Even composers such as Elfman's work is mutating to something more generic, and that takes a lot. But, modern styles of film making will not support a truly orchestral score. All the quick editing and pacing preclude that. We say we miss it, but in film I doubt it would have worked for any of the marvel films. Nor the Batman or Superman films. It just wouldn't. The orchestral stuff does seem to survive more in the drama films though. It's what the producers want. I do not think it is about "hits". MOST people seeing a film pay next to no attention to the score. If they buy a soundtrack it is for the VA songs. So having a Zimmer sound really does not influence the decision. Other than maybe having enough of a generic feel that the score can blend with modern sound fx and create more of an ambient feel than a big piece separate from them.

Here's an idea: composers often times adapt the Zimmer style because composers appreciate it. Maybe it's mean old producers imposing instrumentation on artists who don't really want it... or maybe it's artists who favor Zimmer more than many like to believe. Really, it's as silly as accusing scores of "aping" Williams in decades past. People who write successful works of film music are influential. Some on this forum don't appreciate Zimmer, but those who actually write film music DO. Portraying them all as toiling under some stuffed suit's whip is complete wish fulfillment, nothing more.

Thanks for this. Seeing the movie this weekend. Hope Tyler delivers.

I highly doubt your statement that it is wish fulfillment. It is obviously a business, and composers are hired to do a job. Creative expression within that is fine and good, but I bet these days it is far less encouraged than when Lucas asked Williams for Star Wars. Even Horner was subdued for Amazing Spiderman. There are a few Zimmer scores I really like (mostly older ones). I do not dislike him (I have never met him nor watched an interview) or even his style, I simply dislike his recent scores. I still say it is partly a style choice for the sound of modern movies. As far as composers toiling away, that is fairly well documented. Such as when a composer is replaced (for not conforming to a producer or director's wishes in some way), and the new composer has just weeks to get the job done. Music may be their passion, but I'd say that definitely counts as toiling.

Take Bear McCreay's score for Galactica. Yes, the style is his own, but he had very specific rules to follow, at least at first. No big opera in space sounds. Less big themes, more ambient pieces. And, while he seems to find it fulfilling, I'd say composing that score week after week could be considered "toiling". It is a job, often a hard job and I have heard several composers talk of being frustrated and reigned in.

Does anyone have the digital booklet for this score?

Wow this is out already :) I can't wait to see the movie !~

Thanks for sharing

I just saw the movie!

Well, you're moving the goal posts here. I'm talking about the very specific matter of Zimmer's influence on the scores, you're talking about the practical challenges all composers face in general. I wouldn't contradict any of that, but I fail to see what it has to do with the point, which is: any time even a HINT of Zimmer creeps into someone else's work, the constant refrain is "ah, the studio must have made them". The implication being that composers must hate Zimmer as much as ffshrine does, that the only way they'd tip their cap to him is by coercion. Which is the wish fulfillment I was talking about. Why can't a composer simply view the style as one to be appropriated masterfully (Tron: Legacy) or poorly (Battleship) and appreciate the challenge?

Well it is funny!

and yes it is rather good, but a bit too many battle scenes, but LOKI is awesome!

I hope we git a complete score ...oF thiS...please Thunder Gods... Odin....releases the complete SCORE....EPIC its a Roller coaster ride kinda movie I've seen it Tooooo....there's AwSum music that we don't git on thiS sCore...:-( don't knoW why they do that....!!!...Hail'S

Ah, well I can't speak to that. Certainly it has happened before. With the success of Jaws and Star Wars, big sweeping orchestral stuff became the way to go, and how many scores started to sound like that, good or bad? So yea. I think Zimmer gets the brunt of that "destroying film scores" wrath. Dunno. I just don't see the style changing anytime soon.

I think this music is fine for a character like Thor. I always imagined him as a cross between Conan and Superman, and this music captures that mix perfectly.

Sunderella, thank you for the share.

An example of Bear McCreary toiling in the Zimmer style masterfully, by the way: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9h36m2mhBks


You miss the point.... back in the day even when Williams was in Vogue there was still other composers who were allowed to express themselves with electronics ie. Goldsmith and then there was Tangerine Dream... you see had a choice.....remember that wrod Choice.... No even really talented composers are being Forced....yes Forced to conform to how Zimmer scores and sounds because these bean counters in Hollywood believe that he sells movies.......

But, I really...don't know that it is about him "selling" movies. Really. In the trailers, they don't go, "Hans Zimmer's all new score to this movie here....". I maintain most of the movie going public have no idea who Zimmer is. They are not going the film nor buying the dvd because they like Zimmer. Sales would indicate that actually a very select group buys film scores. So, I do not think that is the issue. I think that they just want a specific "sound" for their films. Whatever that may be. Right now, it is what we are currently hearing. The only "forcing" I think is just that composers have to conform to where the jobs are, like any worker. If they want big and bombastic, give them that, etc.

I ask you this... who has been the biggest selling Film Score artist over the last 15 years.... That is why he is asked to score movies.... that�s why his minions are attached to every big blockbuster out there....those scores sell in the bucket loads to kiddies who know no better.... that is why Tyler is being asked to score in that manner.... in fact all off Marvels films have been scored in that way.... Zimmer does not write his scores ..... he has his minions do it.... Zimmer is a brand not an artist.... the Zimmer brand sells shitloads to young kiddies and that brand is the dumbing down of music to the point where it�s all the same.... I�ve said it before and I�ll say it again.... Zimmer is a PR guy, he�s created a brand, Zimmer has done nothing revolutionary except take the music factory ideology into film scoring, I mean even Brian Tyler has an army of writers who go uncredited by the way........ Zimmers great at interviews.... I have no il-will towards Zimmer personally but I do have a problem with how he�s infested movies with his bland bland scores and his simplistic ideology of music to the point where it�s everywhere......

Except Zimmer does write his scores. He writes some big lengthy suit which consists of all themes and motives and then his minions cut and paste and arrange that music to specific scenes in the film. But it's still Zimmer's music. Don't get me wrong, most of what he writes is garbage these days, but he's the one writing that garbage, not anyone else.

In all of Zimmers scores there�s additional Music composed by..... He doesn�t write the whole score....far from it.... He does write the themes which is then used in every fuckin movie coming from Remote Control
The reason his scores are absolute garbage is because the talented composers who were under Zimmers grip have left.... John Powell, Harry Gregson-Williams.... Klaus Badelt...... These are the reasons why his early scores are so much better than the shite he�s churning out nowadays..... When a Hack surrounds himself with Garbage.... well the result is Garbage

Cut it off. Discuss Zimmer in another thread.

Has anyone thought of a possible chronical track list yet? All I know is that Marvel Lolo Marvel Studios Fanfare is track 1!

Not at all. Some of Zimmer's best scores did not have the footprint of Powell or HGW. Zimmer used to write and still does write some amazing music sometimes. About how much additional music his minions write, it's mostly minor stuff other people add. Just check Man Of Steel, which is one of Zimmer's worst albums to date, and almost every theme and motif already exists in Zimmer's early demo track in 2nd CD. And one can create almost every cue from that lengthy suite, which his minions do.

Agreed. I don't even understand why Zimmer's name got dragged into this once since Thor score sounds a lot like Tyler's Dune more than it does sound like a Zimmer score.

Seriously? that's funny if you can't tell the difference between this Zimmer clone score vs. Tyler's Children of Dune.

That�s exactly what I was thinking

Thank you!!

Can anyone provide any factual real world evidence that Zimmer sells to "the kiddies" by the truckload? Most kids I know would rather stab themselves in the ear than listen to a score album regardless of the composer.

Thanks for sharing.

Thank you for this. Doyle really disappointed me (his Potter score sounded more Wagnerian and I think Thor is deserving of Wagnerian, then again I've fallen out of the comic loop so maybe it doesn't fit the content, not that I care). SO! Tyler's done some good scores, I liked Timeline a lot, so hopes up for something better than the usual marvel movie noise.

Update: on track one, sounds generic 'bombastic' but better than Thor 1 score for me

See, now I do not know Tyler's film work nearly at all, but I do really, truly dig his Transformers Prime work for some reason.

Yes thanks for that cloud download was very fast.

thanks a lot :)

any chance you got that in FLAC?

i "might" have that : is there popular demand for a flac share ? :)

might sounds "good" :P

i'd love an upload :D

Thank You!!

for FLAC? YES PLEASE!

KINGDOM FOR FLAC!!! please share

i'd say POPULAR DEMAND --> Check :D

i also would appreciating flac if available. mp3 working until then :)

Many thanks Sunderella

working on it :)

Thanks!

Definitely buying this! Brian Tyler hits the mark again!!! Wise choice!!! Thank you!!!!!

Thanks

Many Thanks!

Just Awesome, mate! Thanks for uploading this score!

Well, there's a brand new 30 second Marvel Studios intro premiering with this movie, and it's all right, has a bit of Iron Man 3's "Can You Dig It?" towards the end, but not memorable theme music for the studio branding. There's no Disney logo at the beginning, but at the very end, there's a line crediting Disney (but not the actual Disney logo). I did get a Zimmer vibe to this score. Well, it has a "dark" theme, and yes the baddies are the Dark Elves. The movie is okay if you like Thor and it's better than the first film. Loki is quite good in it. More fun factor than Iron Man 3. There are two post-credit scenes, one with Benicio del Toro, so I"m guessing "The Guardians of the Galaxy"-related, and the other the true ending of the movie. I'd say fun is good, so a good movie. I saw it in 2D.

Thanks for sharing!

Hey guys, has anyone noticed a pitch difference on Youtube in comparison to the download?

Could be my version. Anyway, I updated the links now with a new rip so it is probably in better quality now if you download it again, else you can always download the FLAC here -> Thread 163723

thank you!

Thor The Dark World is the first song of the End Credits

asgard might be the second half of the credits, after the mid credit scene

i really liked the theme & enjoyed the score overall

I also wish his complete scores would be easier to get a hold of.

I wish that as well... I'm still hoping to hear about a complete version for IM3 :(

Thanks for keeping great music available...but I'm buying it on the 12th...and I only (now) get music in FLAC. I want every note exactly as it was on the cd...no loss...but thanks anyway. Wasn't it an awesome movie? This one built on the first one and just blew me away! Brian Tyler is really getting good! This score takes you into the HEART of a WARRIOR! You can hear his determination! His warrior spirit and resolve. Way to go BRIAN! Thank You again!

I wish that as well... I'm still hoping to hear about a complete version for IM3 :(

I'm taking it that these two movies may wind up like Jaws 2 where several years pass and still nothing new is added and no rips are available... Why doesn't DVD Audio Extractor work with ANYTHING that has Chris Hemsworth in it? If it did I would be able to just get what wasn't provided on the soundtrack myself.
Thor 1 didn't work
The Avengers didn't work
The last bit of Iron Man 2 after the End Credits didn't work
Star Trek 2009 didn't work...

On an unrelated group of movies,

Even JAWS 2 only provided Mono and Stereo for audio, not a 6 channel deal like a good majority of the the rest of them that actually DO work

merci 1000 fois

Although these weren't by Brian Tyler asking for help in finding these is worth a try since the more people looking for it the better chances it will be to find them:

On Thor The Dark World there are some songs that are not by Brian Tyler but by different artists below is a list of some of the songs I can't or am having trouble finding, can anyone help me to track these down?
