Here it finally is: the Deluxe Edition for The Amazing Spider-Man, a bit sooner than many of you expected. My initial plan involved sharing it the moment the sequel hits theaters; well, I�ve decided differently. Why? Because the sequels' score The Amazing Spider-Man 2 has just been shared here. It might be nice to compare them, especially since the version of the sequel is an official Deluxe Edition. Comparing them might prove to be interesting... I still am disappointed though that James Horner wasn�t asked to compose the score for the follow-up. Not only because the music on the Edition shared here is very good, but also for consistency reasons. I believe that my version gives proper credit to Horners' composition, it might even shame the sequels' score into hiding ;)

I finished this release roughly three months ago and I like it. Apart from odd, occasional crossfades (did you think I wouldn�t combine as many tracks as possible? :D) I cannot find any errors in mastering, placement of tracks, etc. When listening to my own versions I treat them just like I�d treat something officially released, it�s as if they were made by someone else. Which leads me to be extremely critical with my own editions. But what did I do? I compressed dynamics with faders in order to have the most control and absolutely no artifacts caused by commonly used dynamic compression. I also changed the stage of the recording slightly and equalized it differently. The OST has always been one of the best sounding scores released in recent years. Still, it lacked a bit of 'oomph'... which my version has. Don�t worry, I didn�t stray too far from the original sound. BTW, when the sessions/complete score was released I also noticed that they sounded exactly like the OST. The only differences were absent brickwall limiting and dynamic compression of some, but not all tracks. The OST made softer tracks louder in order for them not to drown against the louder action tracks... though the result was inconsistent and depended on the track that came before or after. On my version, soft tracks have been boosted so that they can be understood better, moreover, their gain is consistent, they now feel completely organic. All in all - arrogance mode on - I�m inclined to say that my version sounds much better than either the OST or the sessions - arrogance mode off.



For the cover I had to choose between several high resolution poster arts... well, I didn�t choose, I simply used them all. I don�t think that I have ever offered 8 different front cover designs before, there should be a cover for every taste. Apart from the 8 front covers you can find 4 back covers and 6 inlay covers. Hope you like them.

EDIT: I was asked via PM why I used the film version of the 'Main Title'; I did it because - to my ears - it played better than the OST version. I also did some mixing/edits within another track, sadly I�ve forgotten which :D. I also shortened or removed silent passages within tracks for pacing reasons. Those pauses make sense when used in context with the movie, they don�t make any sense however when the music is on its own. After all, the movie and the score CD are seperate mediums, one is audiovisual, the other is audio only - and therefore speaks for itself. Without the movie, a score is a musical piece of art and IMO it also deserves to stand on its own.

Anyway, as always... have fun! :)

STILL, A WARNING:

1. Once the links expire, I won�t upload it again, someone else has to do that (maybe by creating mirrors?)
2. Mp3's: I won�t provide them either. Don�t be lazy and create them yourself, you can find countless guides with google.

Massive thanks

Fantastic! And beautiful covers as usual :) Many thanks again!!

Thank you very much!

LOL

All these 'Amazing Spider-Mans'-threads certainly look funny :D

Thanks for all your efforts in creating something beautiful! Much appreciated.

Thanks hugely! :)

Thank you, Sonic.

Thanks! I'll give this a listen!

Thanks a lot

Thank you :)

Thanks for another fabulous release!

I edited the OP to address questions people might have when comparing it to the complete score I used for my Deluxe Edition.

Thank you very much

Thanks

Great share, Sonic!! :D
Could you possibly share a separate link for the hi-quality covers if possible? Thanks!

I am impressed by your work.
Horner's music worked better than I expected, and this deluxe edition sure that does justice.

Muchas gracias.

I haven't seen the film or listened to any part of the score, but you can be damn sure I'll start here. Thanks for another deluxe

I always appreciate your work a lot, so thank you very much for this one! :-)

I haven't seen the film or listened to any part of the score, but you can be damn sure I'll start here. Thanks for another deluxe

If you've never listened to any of this score but are starting here, still give the main title a listen as well:

This is a video sequence I edited together a while back using the full main title, something not heard in the film.

I actually did this for the entire score, so this is just the first segment.

Thank you!

Amazing work as usual, THANKS!!

I hear everywhere that zimmer will be inivitably superior to horner, that his score was garbage, that it wasnt epic. I think horner did one of his best with that one, the score is really refreshing and deserves more, so thanks for that

Great share, Sonic!! :D
Could you possibly share a separate link for the hi-quality covers if possible? Thanks!

I thought so too (that it worked well within the movie). And I had hoped that my version would reflect that. You saying that it indeed does so, is all I could wish for.

It�s a really good score. It starts slow and after half the running time it gets faster, louder and harder. Definitely not 'A Beautiful Mind' (although that�s a beautiful score on its own... only a bit too calm for my taste).

One part of doing this release was the intention to show the Zimmer-fans that there are other composers out there, composers better suited for certain tasks. I haven�t heard the sequel score yet (I won�t accept a lossy download - so I�ll just buy the Deluxe Edition) but I�m sure that it�ll be functional within the movie. When on its own... well, what can one expect? It will be a continuation of the style Zimmer currently likes to use. From what I�ve read it has been updated with club sounds. To me this isn�t surprising at all as that has been the route Zimmer has been going for a few years now. I for one love the inclusion of electronic elements into orchestral scores. If it�s tastefully done (like I expect for the sequel) it might work.

Having said that, Zimmer is not Horner. Horner is a fully fleshed-out, trained composer. You can hear this everywhere... and sadly, you can hear that Zimmer hasn�t enjoyed traditional training. Musically, Horner is more inventive while Zimmer has been walking on worn-out paths. And that says a lot, because Horner himself is not an unknown when repeating what he has done before.

Where was I going with this?? Ugh, I�ve forgotten, so I�ll better stop writing.

EDIT: Now I know again :D In short: musically, Horner is much more interesting. Stylistically, Zimmer is more appealing. He's always consistent when it comes to style, but lacks musical substance more often than not. Horner scores are loaded with musical substance, but they lack style on occasion (his Spider-Man suffers a bit in that regard). If you want Horner at his best, give 'Titanic' and 'Perfect Storm' a listen. Both are perfectly executed scores and should be part of any collection (preferrably in the form of my Deluxe Editions ;)). Or this one. Not his best but certainly very, very good.

Enjoy and Please Say Thanks :)

Hahaha... I had to laugh so hard when seeing this!

Thank you for this. Kudos for helping me out by providing mp3's! :)

This is beyond AWESOME!!! Thank you so very much for this! I look forward to every "Deluxe Edition" you produce. Your deluxe edition of the Perfect Storm is incredibly listenable and enjoyable. I have listened to about half of this TASM deluxe edition and am thoroughly impressed, as usual!

Thanks, again!

I indeed have to agree with that =)

Collection still should have given you credit though... As it is, it looks like he thought it was a legitimate release.

Was waiting for your edition Sonic. Finally we get a decent edition for my ONLY and favorite score. Thank you.

And nice custom artwork collection, by the way. :)

Thanks, SonicAdventure!

Wow, this is indeed amazing! You always do such a great job on your deluxe editions.
I really appreciate the hard work you put into all this. Thanks a million!

Thank you for your excellent work.

SonicAdventure, does it again. Thanks for the share. As i've said before Sonic should be mixing in Hollywood. Hell, you could/should even mix the score for my grandma's funeral if and when she passes. It's the only way to give her an epic send off!

Collection still should have given you credit though... As it is, it looks like he thought it was a legitimate release.

Yeah, well... I cannot control who re-shares something I made ('made' is far fetched, as I myself reguritated someone elses' work). Legitimate release? That would be a first! :D

I love the password hahahaha

Thank you for this!

Another great share! This is one of Horner's best recent scores and it is really a shame he wasn't asked back for the sequel.

Great job with the covers, I'm having a hard time deciding which one to use!

All the reps in this world are not enough! Thank you so much for another amazing contribution, Sonic!

Sonic, you are da man! "Arrogance mode-Part II on - I'm sure it sounds way better than any other release as well. Yours always does - Arrogance mode-Part II off" :)

Many thanks for posting this! I always enjoy listening to your deluxe editions (even on scores which i may not like at first).

Thanks for caring to share

Love your deluxe editions, SA, it's always a thrill to see a new one posted. Thanks for this.

Thanks a lot Sonic! I don't think you included enough covers though... ;)

I wish you did! I love the Batman Arkham scores in particular (they were actually orchestral instead of synthesized like most scores) because for videogames they've got pretty good music.

For all the time and effort you put in this �Deluxe Edition�you deserve a big applause (and for your other works too).
Thank you for sharing your passion for the music. :)

thank you so much for your time and for your effort!!!

Thank you, Sonic!

SonicAdventure, you rock! You continue to impress me with your amazing ear for detail! Thank you so much!

Thanks Sonic for the share. Your deluxe editions never fail to impress. Whilst I find Horner can be derivative, musically his compositions are far more melodic and interesting than much of Zimmer's modern fare. Such a pity, as Zimmer started out so well. Drone is truly the way to describe his current musical output (in composition and collaboration styles).

Yep. OP has been edited to include an additional cover-only link :)

Thank you, beautiful work. I discovered this music completely new.

Another amazing - pun intended - piece of work, Sonic !! Thank you for your effort !!

Always a pleasure when you release one of your Deluxe Editions :)
Thanks a lot!

Thanks for this matey. Your work is always appreciated. I haven't had time to listen yet but will do soon.


I think I would if I�d be listening to them... I�ve tried again and again to do something about it - now this�ll sound so stupid - but I cannot take videogame scores seriously. I know. But that�s the way it is right now. Sorry.

I'm the same with with video game scores. The best ones IMO are the first gears of war which was totally orchestrated with a organic orchestra, splinter cell conviction, god of war 3 and of course shadow of the colossus which was made with an organise orchestra. You really need to try these mate

splinter cell conviction... You really need to try these mate

Conviction had such an awesome soundtrack, great blend of orchestra and synth. Shame the composers who took over for Blacklist ditched that style for some dubstep MoS percussion-filled music.

thanks a lot!!!!!

So...I'd LOVE to hear your deluxe editions for Titanic and Perfect Storm...Are they available? :)

The links for Titanic will definitely not exist anymore... but The Perfect Storm might: Thread 166835

Thanks again for another great deluxe edition!

Thanks for your work on this project and for sharing it.

Thank you

I thought the OST was good enough. But this mastered deluxe edition... WOW... BLOWS ME AWAY.

Gazillion thanks to SonicAdventure. Seriously thanks! :D

Thanks

OMG! Thanks!

Thanks a lot! Another job well done! When it first came out I was a little underwhelmed by both film and score. I'm happy to say that your Deluxe Edition helped me to appreciate Horner's music much more and to actually find a few tracks I really like and enjoy listening to (my favourites: The Ganali Device, Saving New York, Rooftop Kiss).

very nice :) thanks

Thanks!

Thanks Sonic, I've only heard the official release and it was my favourite score in 2012. Off to listening right away!

(P.S. Zimmer's score is quite fun too, though I still prefer Horner's full orchestra... more emotionaly attractive for me)

(P.S. Zimmer's score is quite fun too, though I still prefer Horner's full orchestra... more emotionaly attractive for me)

I�ve ordered the Deluxe Edition... might arrive tomorrow or the day after. From all I�ve read, I could be in for a surprise. We'll see.

Thanks, as always. I always look forward to hearing your deluxe editions.

Thank you, Sonic !

Just noticed this...**blush**

As always thank you much.

Thank you very much!

Thanks!

Thank you very much!!!

All in all - arrogance mode on - I�m inclined to say that my version sounds much better than either the OST or the sessions - arrogance mode off.

For me THE reason to give this score another go. I could never warm up to the OST, how it was sequenced, I always came out disappointed.
However, I think the score works much better in the film and I'm looking forward to hearing as it appears in the film.

So thank you kind sir.

I haven't seen the film or listened to any part of the score, but you can be damn sure I'll start here. Thanks for another deluxe

I don't know how many (if any of you) downloaded my video file quoted, but I'm uploading them all since a lot of people seem to have either heard the score but not seen the film itself, or haven't done either but were interested now that this Deluxe Edition was assembled.

let's put this thread to the first page by commentin' on it a bit...

I also shortened or removed silent passages within tracks for pacing reasons. Those pauses make sense when used in context with the movie, they don�t make any sense however when the music is on its own. After all, the movie and the score CD are seperate mediums, one is audiovisual, the other is audio only - and therefore speaks for itself. Without the movie, a score is a musical piece of art and IMO it also deserves to stand on its own.


Interesting idea, but I would personally keep some silent gabs there, simply because silence is part of music, too. But your work is so well done that it's hard to tell where it originally was anyway, so...
