Yup, 2 CD's of pure magic!

Are you planning on posting the score then or why did you post this in the download link section?

I have no plans on buying it, but if I happen to get my hands on it before anybody else here, I'll sure post it.
I posted this here because I'm think that many of us, like me, visits the "Film, Television and Classical Music Download Links" more than anywhere else at the FFShrine...

Then just post a short note in the hunt thread, and not create a new thread.

I'll be buying this thing for sure. So excited.

Just when I thought my day couldn't get any better. :D

Well considering many here don't necessarily follow La La Land on Facebook or frequent the FSM boards, I think a new thread is necessary to spread the news so people here can buy it. Considering the popularity of this release I would be surprised if it lasted a month.

No-one said it doesn't deserve a thread. Just not in the DOWNLOADS forum.

But it absolutely belongs in the downloads forum, where most people here spend most of their time. It is the place most likely to spread the news to the most people.

It's already being discussed on this forum, over here.

The download section is for download links only, forum rules. But nevermind, it has been moved now.

An interview with album producer Didier C. Deutch reveals that La-La Land�s upcoming release of Hook will not be complete due to some cues being excluded at the request of John Williams. The full interview can be found here (http://www.underscores.fr/index.php/2012/03/interview-didier-c-deutsch/) (in French). Here�s the related excerpt:


After numerous exchanges between his representatives and La-La Land, the release was endorsed by Williams.

The production cost was enormous, but fortunately Columbia came to the rescue. All I had to do was to go to the studio with my engineer, with all the elements in their place exactly as I designed the complete music of the film, from beginning to end. So we put on this double disc all we hear in the film, including pieces that have not been used. Meanwhile, John Williams, through his intermediaries, said he wanted to hear what we had done. He made a few suggestions. He asked that certain pieces that were repetitive be eliminated, and he excluded some pieces that didn�t fit with the rest of the score like Take Me out to the Ball Game. In short, he re-created the soundtrack as we hear it on this double disc.
