John Williams / The Adventures Of Tintin (Deluxe Edition) / FLAC / Covers

Music & Sound

Hello, it’s me again. Over the years, I’ve produced a decent amount of Deluxe Editions. But I don’t share them all, for numerous reasons: some are just not well done, some are redundant, some are by Varese. This one was initially done in 2014 with the idea to use it as the second release for the "Ask SonicAdventure for a Deluxe Edition" (Thread 179037) (in case you don�t remember: I promised to pick one of the scores people voted for; and you know how that turned out: I did both). I prepared this Edition even before the poll finished… which was stupid because no one even voted for this score! So I was left with a score I initially didn�t want to share on FFS alongside two other scores I promised to do. A few days ago, several people have asked for it. Before, it was shared in the Soundtrack Jungle (http://www.soundtrackjungle.com) for a Christmas special available only to members who participated in this special. But in 2015, all those shares were opened up to everyone, therefore this Edition lost its specialty status. So I’ve decided to share it here as well.

As is typical for John Williams, he created suites for the OST release of this score. And just like with Star Wars: Episode VII and Indiana Jones IV, I didn’t like them, they didn’t represent the score as best as possible and I couldn’t grasp the music, it left me cold. Because I wanted to like it, I’ve tried to combine the OST and the FYC. Meaning: splicing tracks apart and patching them back together in chronological order, all of it featuring remastered sound. Some of my new edits are audible, some of them aren�t. And some edits/crossfades of mine are really not very good. So don’t expect another Star Wars (Thread 204325)! 😉 Well, I think that I was able to improve the sound… to my ears the OST sounded quite strange.

Cover

For this release, I updated the cover just a few hours ago. I wanted to exchange the symbols I use with the ones I did for ‘Mulan’ (http://forums.ffshrine.org/showthread.php?t=188354&highlight=) last year. I also removed my Deluxe Edition banner from two of the covers (there are 5 front covers), in 2014 I wasn’t yet tired of the design. All in all, the covers are nothing special, so, again, don’t expect awesome quality covers like Heidl (http://forums.ffshrine.org/member.php?u=428356) does them. My covers for this set do their job, nothing more (though I have done worse). BTW, for this cover I used the font ‘Futura’ for the Deluxe Edition banner for the first time instead of ‘Federation’ that was employed for every release before this one. As you all know, I kept the new font, it just looks better.

Before I talk too much again: have fun! 🙂

Ha! You’re on fire man!

How is this score? Been a while since I’ve seen the movie, so…. :p

Well, I like it. But it would be better if it’d be complete.

Thank you. Always look forward to your deluxes.

One of William’s best action/adventure in a long time.
Vibrant. Catchy. A solid statement on Williams. If he had retired on this score, it would have been one hell of a swan song.
But then he did other stuff… :erm:

Thanks for the links.

One more time… Thank you for sharing your work 🙂

My, my Sonic, you have been busy…. Thanks!

Thank you so much Sonic!
This is one of my favorite score!

Thanks Sonic! Are there any updates to the sound since the 2014 edition, or just the cover?

Many thanks! I’m glad I inquired about it. I’d be very interested to hear any other splices you did of FYCs which have differing music from the OSTs. Keep up the great work.

Thanks for sharing, Sonic.

Oooh, another one! This will be interesting to listen to. Tin Tin never grabbed me emotionally or in any other way. While it’s technically beyond all measure, it means pretty much nothing to me. Now I’m curious if your Deluxe Edition is able to change that.

Many thanks for your work Sonic, I’m listening now – you’ve made the sound sparkle!

Fantastic!!!! Thanks Sonic Really Looking Forward to This. These Collections Are So Epic!!!

Many Thanks.

Thanks

Thank you!!

Thank you.

Thank you very much.

Thanks again Sonic 🙂

Love this score (and movie)!

Just wondering… Did you do a War Horse DE?

thanks – it’s very good indeed!

I Would Like to See/Hear!

Many thanks for this Sonic 🙂

I always had the OST and FYC separately to listen to. I’m sure this will be a big improvement!

Thanks Again! 🙂

Thanks a lot

You are one of the few who thinks so. The impression I always get is that his fans don’t like any of his later scores…

Just wondering… Did you do a War Horse DE?

No, I didn’t. And I won’t. I’m one of those Williams-listeners who doesn’t like his less bombastic stuff. I bought ‘Lincoln’ and I will sell it, I really don’t like it. Same with ‘War Horse’.

Thanks!

oooh…another goodie…
can’t wait to give it a listen…somehow the OST never truly grabbed me…liked it better in the movie

Excellent sound!
Thank you so much, Sonic!

Thanks! Your deluxe editions are always something to look out for!

possible to have a mega link ?

Thank you Sonic. This remains a very fine Williams, and this presentation is an excellent complement to the official album.

Thanks a bunch, amigo!!!… 🙂

Thanks, Sonic, will give it a listen. The OST didn’t blew me away, so it can only improve after your treatment! 🙂

@all: Thanks a lot for the nice comments 🙂

Very nice Sonic! Thank you again.

Thank you so much!

Nice one! Can’t wait to hear this. This definitely isn’t among my very favorite of Williams, but there’s certainly a lot to enjoy in this score. Don’t think I ever heard the FYC version, so will be nice to rediscover this score in your expanded treatment. Thanks, Sonic!

Thank you!

Thanks !

Thank you

Thank you once again Sonic! 😀

To me, this a great score, fits the movie very well. Often it reminds of the Indy scores, which obviously isn’t a bad thing 😉

The theme that can be heard on these tracks; 05. Escape from the Karaboudjan – between 0:58 and 1:10. 08. Capturing the Plane – pops up during most of the track.
Is absolutely marvelous! Unfortunately, in my opinion, it ends way too soon.

Anyway, I hope your DE will get more people interested in this otherwise fantastic score 😀

Right now it doesn’t seem this way… 🙁

Thanks for this- I can’t wait to listen! I’m a big Tintin fan, and I really enjoyed this latter day Williams adventure score.

I love this score and I’m glad Sonic decided to make a deluxe edition for it, it’s truly ones of Williams’ best scores in recent years alongside The Force Awakens. Wasn’t as big of a fan of his serious dramatic scores like Lincoln, War Horse and The Book Thief. And The Adventure Continues (the end credits on the FYC) is the best cue in the movie, hands down.

Thanks!!

thank you!

Thank you very much, sonic! As someone noted above, it is a welcome companion to the CD. I enjoyed the official CD release, but this version does play better in terms of thematic development. Thank you, again, for your continued efforts and willingness to share them!

Same here. His serious and dramatic scores don’t to it for me either. And I’ve tried so badly to like them…

Does it play better? This was what I was hoping… but I nonetheless think a complete version would be even better, I think there still is some music missing.

I’ll definitely be grabbing this one. Thanks, Sonic 🙂

Your deluxe sounds so much crisper than the normal and FYC’s that were released. I just wish the sessions were leaked, we’re still missing a few cues in the movie, like the full Red Rackham and Haddock duel (we have a brief version as the first part of the end credits suite).

Uhoh, too crisp? Because it shouldn’t be too crisp, it was only supposed to sound like typical John Williams.

Uh…can something be too crisp?

Hmm….

Uh…can something be too crisp?

Hmm….

Oh yes, it can. If something is too crisp, it might sound good on, don’t know, Dr Dre Beats! headphones but awful with Grado cans. It should sound relatively good on both (within limits, of course). Not that I would recommend any product of these companies to anyone, no way.

I use Sony MDR-ZX100 Stereo Headphones, and boy, these are all-around good headphones.

Pretty much everything sounds good on these guys.

My Sony MDR-ZX300 pretty much beats my Bose OE2i and Sol Republic Tracks HD.
It’s unfortunate that the plug is too big for my phone case.
Might have to get the model with the smaller plug.

Oh no, I meant the sound on your version had the right amount of crisp which the original versions lacked!

off-topic, I recommend you listen to Thunderbirds Are Go by Ben & Nick Foster, it sounds like James Bond meets Tintin and since you recently did a deluxe for The Living Daylights, thought I’d mention it. 🙂

To both of you I recommend the Sony MDR-V55, it is a more balanced and flat headphone 😉 Because… one of you guys won’t be able to hear the deep bass on a piece like "Fight of the Cranes" 🙂

Ah, then I’m glad.

About Thunderbirds: I remember the series. And I have to say… after reviewing it on DVD (which I received as a present) a few years ago I find that… erm… it is not my cup of tea anymore. But I don’t remember the music.

Thank you very much!

Sonic, I think he is referring to the more recent reboot of Thunderbirds…it has a pretty good score- and James Bond mixed with Tintin IS a good description! It’s fun and is pretty good sounding. It’s not the old scores from the 1960s.

Many thanks for sharing your brilliant effort with us !

There is a reboot? But you don’t mean the movie directed by Jonathan Frakes?

Ooh.

Oh dear God, no! Not the movies! haha

ITV recently rebooted Thunderbirds as a 22-minute animation series called Thunderbirds Are Go, and the music is composed by Ben & Nick Foster (who tend to rework Barry Gray’s original themes into the score)

Ooh.
I’ll add that to my list of "Headphones I’ll Have A Hard Time Deciding To Get Next."

I’ll make it more difficult: Also good are the Audio Technical ATH-M50x or the Sennheiser HD-380 Pro 😉

Though they are a bit more expensive.

Oh, a new series. Actually… I try to restrict myself regarding watching some series. And I still need to see ‘Hannibal’ first since Fink said that it’s very, very good.

Oh, a new series. Actually… I try to restrict myself regarding watching some series. And I still need to see ‘Hannibal’ first since Fink said that it’s very, very good.

Season 1 was great, 2 was a masterpiece, and 3 was an absolute let-down. I can’t believe how bad the quality of Season 3 was after seeing Seasons 1 & 2.
I recommend listening to the new Thunderbirds soundtrack, as opposed to watching the show. If you get time, then great!

And I still need to see ‘Hannibal’ first since Fink said that it’s very, very good.

Season 1 & 2 are great.
Season 3 tends to be more of an instagram series with lots of scenery and slow motion. It’s easy to lose focus on the story.
Since they announced the cancellation with season 3 being the final season, watching season 3 as it came out (they announced after episode 2 or 3), you can tell that they knew they were going to get canned very soon as season 3 plays out very differently. It feels more like season 3 and (what-would-have-been) season 4 condensed into one season. It was pure chaos.

Now that it’s out on bluray/dvd/streaming, it’ll be easier to keep engaged if you do it all (season 3) within a small time frame.
Trying to replicate weekly release time is not advisable (for season 3) as the home video versions don’t include "previously" segments. (unless you get HDTV rips)

The music is excellent throughout.
Seasons 1&2 I preordered the blurays as soon as they were announced. The CD’s were too expensive for me to order.

of the soundtracks, Reitzell runs the Goldberg Variation through PaulStretch for an excellent effect based on the tpyical directing and cinematography of the series.
One of the best tracks to make it to the soundtrack.
here’s a demo of what PaulStretch can do to any audio input:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FsJdplLB1Bs
PaulStretch started the trend of "800%", which is technically correct. But either iteration of the program simply says "x8" or "8x".
800 is a bigger number so youtubers will run to that with their panties. :whatever:
Fans (not fannibals but just pure fans with respect) wanted the same stretched Goldberg Variation on the soundtrack and had been pleading for it since it first aired on NBC.
And it looks like we got spoiled to high waters with the 3 albums and the exclusive comic-con album.
Season 2 has the Goldberg Variation that everyone was waiting for.

You’ll hear some repetition from the Hannibal film. A nice treat.

It’s Vide Cor Meum.
Except it gets quickly overused to keep the attention of the "Fannibals" and their panties throwing around.
Vide Cor Meum is sadly overused since it appeared in Scott’s "Kingdom of Heaven". (which has a history and reason why it’s there and not more original score.)

I’ll make it more difficult: Also good are the Audio Technical ATH-M50x or the Sennheiser HD-380 Pro 😉

Ugh.
The former has been in consideration for a while.
I’ll get it when I decide a cheaper pair is no longer worthy.
I’m dismissing the latter, since it only has a long cable, as opposed to an additional short one.
I hear good things about Logitech’s UE 4000, even though that’s probably a lesser pair.
I consider something tomorrow.

Yeah, Sennheiser does not add a shorter cable as an option. A shame. Though you can buy those shorter cables from others. And if you consider a Logitech, try the UE 6000, it�s supposed to be even better (don’t use the NC feature, though).

See, I have this mentality that I would get a cheaper pair first.
That way, I would actually be more surprised when a get a higher model.
The Logitech I’ll put first, Since I feel most comfortable spending money on that now.

Thanks, as always! Mirrorcreator is getting less and less friendly – it used to have a minimum of popups and annoying stuff, but now it’s getting out of hand. Anyone else notice this?

Yes… Mega is best….please….

Awesome! Thank you very much for this. It’s sounds a lot better than the original CD! Keep on the good work!

Thank you for another great share!

Question, what is the "Soundtrack Jungle" or is it one of those things that if you have to ask then you can’t know? Yes, I clicked on the link and I’m still confused/curious.

Thanks, SonicAdventure!

Thank you. Given all the positive feedback, I’m looking forward to checking this out.

Is anyone able to reup this as a single file? I’ve tried several different unzip programs and I can’t get the full files to properly extract with any of them, using the multi-part files. I’m dying to hear what Sonic came up with for this! Thanks in advance to any kind soul who honors my request…

As always, thanks for the release.

I have actually taken it upon myself to download as many of these deluxe editions as I can, for future preservation. These are unique in the soundtrack world and in many cases the definitive releases of certain scores (like Final Fantasy for example). SonicAdventure is a gift to the world of film music. As such, I will propably make a megathread containing most every Deluxe Edition Sonic has ever made, if of course he agrees with this?

Edit: I also forgot Fink and Heidl who are just as much a part of these as well. Thank you guys for the hard work that you do!

Edit 2: And of course all those posters who have kept these links alive by reuploading again and again. Your work is keeping this community alive and kicking!

I support this excellent idea.

He will support it of course, if he doesn t have to take care of it ^^
