Release notes:

Atlantic Records has announced the upcoming release of AVATAR Music From The
Motion Picture Music Composed And Conducted By James Horner the official score
album companion to 20th Century Fox's hugely anticipated 3-D sci-fi
action-adventure. The album, which features music composed and conducted by
Academy Award-winner James Horner (Titanic, A Beautiful Mind, An American Tail),
will be released physically on December 15th. Avatar arrives in theatres
everywhere on December 18th.

Written and directed by Academy Award-winner James Cameron (Titanic, Aliens, The
Terminator, Terminator 2: Judgment Day, True Lies, The Abyss), Avatar takes us
to a spectacular new world beyond our imagination, where a reluctant hero
embarks on a journey of redemption and discovery as he leads a heroic battle to
save a civilization. Cameron first conceived the film 14 years ago, when the
means to realize his vision did not yet exist. Now, after four years of actual
production work, Avatar delivers a fully immersive cinematic experience of a new
kind, where the revolutionary technology invented to make the film disappears
into the emotion of the characters and the sweep of the story.

Avatar stars Sam Worthington (Terminator Salvation), Zo┘ Saldana (Star Trek),
Michelle Rodriguez (Lost, Fast & Furious), and Sigourney Weaver (Aliens, Galaxy
Quest). The film is produced by James Cameron and Jon Landau.

thank you :)

Thank you! But do you have, or maybe someone else, a higher quality than 182?

I'm just going to buy it on CD Tuesday.

Yea me too, I don't like Horner reusing the same themes over and over again in different films.. But on the whole I like this score, nice combination between orchestra and synthesisers.

Yea me too, I don't like Horner reusing the same themes over and over again in different films..

All composers do that. Some even in more obvious ways. Jablonsky or Zimmer for instance...

I'm halfway through the score and I haven't heard any "reused" themes. Everything sounds completely new to me.

I gotta laugh at that because Avatar is not unlike practically every one of his score these past 20 years: a mish-mash of recycled themes and motifs—some going as far back as the beginning of his career (most of them not even originating from his pen to begin with).

The fellow is either very lazy or wholly contemptuous of the business he works in. Maybe both.

Thank you, Abaddon!

Thank you!

I can hear plenty of Titanic in this score. Quite a few soundtracks feel like there should be a sinking ship... and not a starship. ;)

He used a theme, a technique, in the track 'Pure Spirits of the Forest' from Avatar where the violins keep going down and down and down. And exactely the same thing is heard in for example Apocalyplto and first in The New World. It is done very good, but it's almost an exact copy from the other scores, and that's a shame in my opinion. And'I'm not even talking about the exact trumpet copies from Zorro.

but it's almost an exact copy from the other scores, and that's a shame in my opinion
I thought that every composers use this method sometimes :naughty:

So, this is finally an official release right? Coz shit has been fucking confusing!

thanks for this one :)

No, it isn't. Just another recording.
