Thanks, my friends!

Any chance for an MP3 version?

Its easy enough to convert them to MP3s in whatever bitrate you wish. Some people wants VBR, some want Insane. Just grab dbPowerAmp Music Converter or use FLACs own free frontend converter. Its easier to give you the masters and then let you convert to whatever format you wish.

Thanks for the suggestion, just realized that I could probably convert them myself after I posted lol.

Thanks!

so while this is downloading I must ask (since I am out of the loop on this), this isn't a fan edit, but actual unedited score? Both soundtrack releases were heavily edited into suites, so it'd be interesting to hear the music-as-written, if that's what this actually is.

I'm no Zimmer fan (far from it), but I did enjoy this score a hell of a lot more than I thought I ever could.

Thank you.

It's not all that great. I tried to listen to this but the original album is so much better. There is hardly anything of note that wasn't released previously.

Can you upload an MP3 version??

okay answered my question, this is NOT THE RECORDING SESSION!!!

it's a great expanded score, but damn man, why do you have to call it the recording session? take that please away from the title for all the irritations -.-'

Thats what other people called it, I myself call it expanded. Hence I put both!

if someone jumps from a bridge, will you jump too? ;)

no serious, thank you a lot for this upload. it's really a great expanded score and in flac!!! I'm still hearing at it and it's a lot of fun,
but it really would be better if you edit the titel minus the "recording session".

Done.

Thanks a wild bunch for this

Thanks!

I already said it to you in your 007-thread... You're the best, Takehiro, your uploads are the ones with the utmost care and the supreme quality! :-)

This seems like a fairly complete version, and no signs of SFX so far, wish this was what they had released as the 2cd special edition instead of the piece of crap version that i paid for.

A GREAT THANK for this upload to TAKEHIRO...
and also one question: Did you have the 3 CD recording sessions?

Thank you!!!!!!

It's not all that great. I tried to listen to this but the original album is so much better. There is hardly anything of note that wasn't released previously.
Sjeez :seriously: it,s so much better than the 2 cd Special Edition,Takehiro did a great job! I bet that you not listen to the whole score,it,s stunning my speakers are blowing away!!!! :holdit:

Sorry, this no Recording Sessions, no all tracks and not 3 discs.

Has no one else bothered to look at the track listings and TIMES for the supposed 3 cd release?! THIS IS THE SAME RELEASE, just that 'LOGO' is part of the first track, the running times mostly are the same or add up to be about the same when some of them have been merged into one track. They are also named differently.
The tracks from cd 3 from this site (http://www.hans-zimmer.com/fr/newsite.php?rub=detail&id=1005):

1. The Joker Suite (9:31)
2. Harvey Dent Suite (6:17)
3. The Dark Knight Suite (16:15)

are the same as:

29 - Harvey Two-Face (6:17)
30 - Suite I (16:14)
31 - Suite II (9:30)

They've just been named differently and are in a different order. I havent gone through the whole thing and compared the times, but im better it will all add up.

Seems like when editing the tracks, because a lot of them are continous through to the next track, they have ripped them as one track. For example -

21 The Ferries (4:35)
22 Always A Catch (2:43)
23 Storming Pruitt Building (3:52)

have been merged partly into one track on the released version as:

24 The Ferries/Gordon's Assault (9:52)

I love u man, Thx a lot for the score... any chance of an mp3 release? FLAC download too big for me... and megaupload always gives trouble when files are larger than 200MB...

no no , this not the same release , or named , or cut differently : the 3 CD is the real complete score with true unreleased material and the one posted here is just an edit (but a great one).

thanks for this, will check it out,

Hmmmmm, now I really confused to what this is after reading all the posts. Well, I love this score so real or not, I'll will definitely check this out!!! Thank you!!!

Whats the confusion? My first post clearly states that its 2CDs, with X tracks running for X minutes!

Ya got that, It seems like you have everybody throwing their two cents in saying that this isn't real. Either way, thanks!

Sometimes you wonder why you bother, right?

Sometimes you wonder why you bother, right?
Here that.

Nah, it isn't that its not real. They are all just hot for the supposedly leaked recording sessions, and this isn't that. So they are all disappointed, and taking it out on you. They have been gnashing their teeth about that release since it showed up in a list on Zimmer's site, so they are a bit.....well.

Thanks! Now... where's Batman Begins ;)

The only "proof" this is leaked is that someone copied tho cue names from ASCAP and added the three album tracks to the end, creating a tracklist for a supposed real CD.

If that's how i came accross that's not what i intended. Wanted to point out that the tracks, from what i could tell, matched up largely with the recording sessions, only some tracks have been merged into one and re-named.

Takehiro, thanks for this, personally im loving listening to this as is, it's nice to hear recording sessions for a score you really want, but usually i like to arrange all the alternate/unused tracks at the end, so they can be listened to separately and the score as used in the movie is uninterrupeted by hearing the same (basically) piece of music 2 or 3 times in a row. I guess if this is how we're going to get the 'recording sessions' - as a full score, then i'll gladly take it. All it means is that if some alternates do find their way out that i'll be adding them on to this one as a separate 'bonus' cd, as i prefer.

I know.

screw the whining losers takehiro, thanks for the share

I dont take offense or anything. Personally I think this is what the 2CD by Warners should have been like.

100% agree, and i was one of the mugs who bought the 2cd release, had i known it was basically the standard cd plus some hammered together tracks i wouldnt have bothered.

My issue is always this - why do record companies never get it right? Even expanded releases are always edited into suites or contain the wrong mixes.

Well i wonder why they don't just release a complete score in the first place, if they just released a 2cd version straight off with something worthy that has over 90 mins of original music, they would win a lot more fans and the collection of bootlegs wouldnt be as underground as it is.
Some of them are starting to do this, with some like The Increadible Hulk getting a 2 cd release as a download or something that the retailer at point of sale can put onto a cd for you - they never gave it a propper retail printed cd release. I think this could be the way to go, as it definately must be at a lower cost to the company, since they dont have any costs of producing the disc.

@ Admiral Young: I find foobar easy. It can convert anything to anything as far as I know. But the easiest (and most successful) for me: All In One DVD Video Soft. It also comes with other stuff 0 cd burner, video to ipod/iphone, video to mp3, youtube to mp3, and more and it can all be done in various formats such as mp3 among others. Strongly recommend u try that one first.

I recently ordered online the 2 disc expanded score. is all the stuff here in that cd? If not, just want the missing stuff & will delete what the cd has. they never provided a sample preview or a track listing.

takehiro, are you planning to make a complete score out of this combined with other releases?

Totally agree. Better than lossy downloads!

Might not need to ;)

Zimmer is well known to arrange most of his albums in non-chronological order and editing them in the form of suites. Perhaps he believes that his music is favored in this way, since it permits to leave out any kind of filler music in favor for a better listening experience.

He does it because he likes very little of what he writes. He famously said if it was up to him to arrange the Crimson Tide score, it would be 10 minutes long.

that is true, but I wish we could express how much we love what he does. I wouldnt know what words to use....

Can anyone upload in MP3 please as I have probs with my converter ... Thanks!!!!!

Zimmer's one of my favs thanks.

I love when people complain about getting something for FREE.

Thank you to the poster for the effort here. THAT is what you write...

that is true, but I wish we could express how much we love what he does. I wouldnt know what words to use....

Ive often thought that, like, what if I met him and tried to say how much his music has changed my life, inspired my own work and more? Its impossible!

Silly question, but are there fx in this?

it's sfx-free!

Wow!! Thanks a lot for share!!! :)

you know he would probably say something similar to.. im a terrible role model, you should find someone else lol. He is such a humble person...

He does it because he likes very little of what he writes. He famously said if it was up to him to arrange the Crimson Tide score, it would be 10 minutes long.

How do you know this? I guess it would make sense, if this were true, why complete scores to his movies barely ever surface--he doesn't like the music so he doesn't..want...anyone else to? Wait, that doesn't make any sense. Also if this is true, it is very sad. What is the point of writing music that you don't like. Zimmer writes excellent music, and his fans love it--but he hates it? That just makes me sad. :(

I apologize for being slow, but with everyone going back and forth regarding this upload, could someone, or the original uploader, explain exactly what this is? Is there new material involved? Is this an edit of the original and expanded releases?

Personally I think this is what the 2CD by Warners should have been like.

A-freaking-men to that! That "deluxe" version was a complete waste. This, on the other hand...AWESOME!

Thanks, Vader :)

Check this out alone, but there are others: Hans Zimmer Interview (http://www.filmscoremonthly.com/features/zimmer.asp)

I wasn't whining. I was stating that from the version I listened to that was similar to this (maybe the exact same) sounded like it didn't have any music of note that was missing from earlier releases. This of course comes from someone who doesn't like the really atmospheric stuff. I thought the main themes were properly represented in the original album and this version was tiresome. It's great that those who wanted complete can listen to it.

Thanks for the Zimmer interview, Takehiro. Very interesting stuff, and surprisingly candid too. Zimmer seems more reserved these days in interviews.

MGS3 and Living Daylights are amazing :) I have a 2CD Living Daylights if you want me to up it?

It's a'ight. I'm satisfied with the 70 minute album release. TLD is probably my favorite John Barry 007 score.

OK, theres some nice gems missing tho!

From what I've listened to, it's someones home made version of the existing 2 CD score. It's not bad (biasedly, I prefer my own version much better :p), but does the duty of arranging the different cues in chronological order and presenting a film accurate version of the score.

thanks!!!!!

Ah, I see. I'm not too big on fan edits - I'll keep fingers crossed for the leak of the real recording sessions.

Thanks.

Most welcome! Why not go ahead and join my group to keep on top of the latest info?

I have a request for you, Takehiro. Since you've already added the front and back covers for the recording sessions/expanded score of The Dark Knight, is it possible if you could please tell me which tracks did Zimmer and Newton-Howard composed on each of the tracks per disc? And is it possible if you could please create the inlay including the full credits since it's not on the back cover? Thanks!!!!!!

1. The Joker Suite (9:31)
2. Harvey Dent Suite (6:17)
3. The Dark Knight Suite (16:15)

30 - Suite I (16:14)
31 - Suite II (9:30)

They've just been named differently and are in a different order. I havent gone through the whole thing and compared the times, but im better it will all add up.
I'm not sure if that is a Joker suite. I took your suggestion there and decided to retag Suite I and II for my iPod because those lack of title bugged me. I think the Dark Knight one is the proper title. But when the Joker track started playing, I was expecting... Joker. Why So Serious and Bank Robbery kind of the stuff. Didn't really notice Joker's theme until the last 50 seconds.

Would someone PM me the link? Thank you.

Very nice. Thank you.

Never mind...

Thats a slightly different version but no worries!

Thank you so very much for sharing the FLAC version of the complete recording sessions. Not only that I have the mp3 version, but also the FLAC as well.

I hope you all realize that this was the first of two threads.

This thread features a customized edit of the music, while THIS link here (Thread 88319) is the steadily growing thread (with various examples of cover art over the past couple of days) for the actual, complete 'recording session' / 'film version mix' score.

Just a quick FYI so there's no confusion. :)

Thats a slightly different version but no worries!


It's OK, Takehiro. I thought the thread was shortened.

Yeah Im gonna go ahead and unsub from this thread now, its pretty much dead

Great find, thank you.

I hope one day a FLAC version of this will show up.

Uhhhh...it HAS...? You need to keep up with the posts, to get news like that....

I hope one day a FLAC version of this will show up.

As a matter of fact, there is. However, this is just an expanded score. The REAL complete recording sessions of The Dark Knight is at this link--

Thread 88319

By the time you've reached at least 10 posts, you have the power to PM Takehiro and ask for the complete FLAC version.

Bleh. I hate having both these threads popping at once.....

I think this set is the best you can get. It sounds fantastic.....Geese, sorta like Christmas around here. So, who has an fx free complete Sherlock Holmes? Anyone? :D

Well, in fact, all the meterial are out there.
One of the alternate cue was in the recording sessions.
For the rest three suites, two suite are in Offical release, and the last one was in Takehiro's set.

good job

Why is no-one else having this problem ?.

I'm not saying it's a problem with the file itself per se, for all I know my internet connection has gone wonky a few times (though its never done so with the much frequency).

As requested, in FLAC, with art.

I don't see the link. Can you please upload the score?

Thanks, so looking forward to this.

I only have the complete recording sessions of The Dark Knight (2-disc).

Oh, ok.

I was hoping for the Dark Knight 3 Disc Score

Thank You

You need to pm the original poster. The 3 disc has pretty much been boiled down to 2, for the actual score. The 3rd disc is mainly album versions of cues and maybe trailer? music, and thus not really needed..

Reupped. This is different to the original "fake" sessions that were posted before.

Excellent! Thanks!

Remarkable.

Sweeeeeeet. Didn't know this existed.

thanks :)

Thanks! :)

Darn... thanks:/

well i went thru 24 pages to get to this link... finally. ha! but i do thank u. after going thru several 100 pages looking for at least something i could find to dl i finally found something someone was kind enough to share. incredible. wow. i love sndtrcks and im very much into having as complete versions as i can get. i dont care if theyre official or not.. i just want original scores by composers that i enjoy. i originally joined this site looking for a sndtrck to a film that came out in 78 where the sndtrck only existed on lp til recently. and evidently it is now expanded to a 2 cd set. im hoping to get it soon so i can put it on cd for someone before monday so i can give it to him as a gift. but i do want to thank theslap971 for this item here. finally a link that worked. i hope the passwords work.

There are only 6 pages in this thread not 24.

it may appear that way. but i clicked on a link that brought me to a 2nd area or forum that had 24 pages. i attempted to post my reply to that page and even thanked the person who had posted the link that actually worked in my comment. his posting was 2 or 3 above mine on the 24th page of that particular thread. i didnt imagine it and i can clearly read #d pages just upwards and to the right of where i am typing this message here now. my first attempts were difficult and the bar on the bottom left didnt seem to move fast enough telling me that the page was loading and ultimately sending my comment to the forum... so i copied my comment as fast as i could before it was lost.. and i closed the page. i had a couple of prior pages behind it so i tried on one of those. clearly it ended up on this one where it appears that there is only 6 pages here. if u look for theslap971's link..the one that actually works.. it will be at the end of the 24th page of one of the other pages that i was sent to by clicking on a link that was on one of the 6 pages here. sorry if u were confused about this. im new here.. and still learning my way around.
while i have been dl'ing and collecting music normally of an unreleased nature for a number of years... doing so on a site like this is very new to me. ive kinda been at this since the early 70s however. in july 02 my audio / video tape collection #d approx 40000. literally none of it thru downloading. all of it thru collecting trading recording myself etc. since 05 my collection thru downloading is now well over 120000 cds and 140000 concerts. i am glad to be a part of your world now.. thank u for having me. perhaps we can learn from one another.
