Alright, I will not be doing TPM, only this one, and perhaps ROTS.

This is an expanded version of AOTC, I notice that this score gets a lot of flack, which is quite a bit undeserved IMHO, in fact this is one of my favorite of the SW scores, so I decided to right that wrong, for I felt that the reason this score is disliked by so many, is the fact that there is only an hour of music presented, from a 2 hour score.

So I decided to right that wrong, here is 2 hours of music, from the pen and baton of the Maestro John Williams.

V2 features enhanced transitions, removal of tracked music, some notes/bars/measures that were dropped, and edited replications of alternate versions (End Credits etc.)

(For the “Remastered” version I have used a EQ curve to create a bright sound not too unlike Jurassic Park, and the early 90’s scores recorded by Shawn Murphy)

V2 changelist:

1. Star Wars Main Title and The Arrival At Coruscant (3:00)

The Main Title, the last note is extended a little from V1

2. Thwarted Attempt (3:20)

The transitions are a little smoother than in V1, plus I restored missing measure using editing and pitch shift

3. The Meeting of Anakin and Padme (1:25)

I removed a section of tracked music around 0:25

5. Zam’s Dirty Trick (3:34)

I was able to use editing to remove some SFX that were embedded in the Bounty Hunter files I used, resulting in a little bit more music than in V1, I removed some tracked music since V1.

6. Zam Chase (3:36)

The “phase errors” that occurred because of bad crossfade alignment are gone!

7. Zam In Pursuit (3:18)

See above

8. Zam Is Eliminated (4:02)

Went with the album version for V1 (see why below)

9. Palpatine’s Plotting (2:10)

Removed tracked music, shame that the real version of this cue has not leaked, it had a great version of the Force theme I am told.

11. The Library Scene (1:12)

Smoothed a edit for V2

13. Approaching Naboo Palace (2:25)

smoothened

15. Visiting the Prime Minister (0:37)

Tracked music removed

Disc 2:

24. Across The Stars (3:09)

Used the Kunzel ending.

25. The Spare Canister Caper (2:11)

Smoothened

26. The Arrival At Tatooine (4:12)

Changed the clean ending a bit

27. Obi-Wan Eavesdropping (2:46)

New clean opening

29. Exacting Revenge (1:21)

Changed the clean ending a bit

33. The Commerce Guild Prepares For War (1:03)

Added a silence in between the two sections.

37. Love Pledge (2:44)

Changed the ending point.

38. Entrance of the Monsters (4:23)

Changed the opening point.

39. Padme Falls (2:15)

Cleaner, and has the orchestra hit

40. Dooku Vs. Obi-Wan (2:36)

Edited closer to how Williams intended

41. Yoda Strikes Back - Special Thanks to GoodMusician (2:31)

Edited closer to how Williams intended

42. Finale (5:24)

Looped strings to sound better.

44. Attack of the Clones Suite (4:23)

From AOTC Promo

45. Finding Kamino (Original Ending) (0:23)

From album

46. Zam Chase/Zam In Pursuit (No Guitar) (1:01)

Edited slightly differently this time

47. Rainy Ramp and Anakin’s Nightmare (Alternate Orchestration) (0:35)

Same as above

48. The Meadow Scene (Alternate, EDIT) (2:13)

An edited replication to give an idea of how the alternate cue sounded.

49. Entrance of The Monsters (Sweetener) (0:09)

The bit of music that was used in the film version of Zam is Eliminated, GoodMusician thinks it was the Sweetener, so I label it as such here.

50. Finale (Partial Alternate) - Special Thanks to GoodMusician (5:11)

Using a bit of the original cue that was used in the Promo “suite” GoodMusician was able to edit it closer to how it sounded, though a section is still missing, I replicated that section by using a similar sounding section in the Revised insert using the Imperial March.

51. End Credits (Gelb Version, EDIT) (5:22)

An edited replication of one of the “unused” variations of the end credits.

52. End Credits (Updated Gelb Version, EDIT) (6:40)

Same as the above

54. Attack of the Clones (Music Video) (4:32)

The music video that is on the DVD, but taken from the Promo.

55. Across The Stars (Love Theme from Attack of the Clones) (6:09)

Intro by Ian McDiarmid from A Musical Journey DVD that came with the ROTS OST, the rest is the OST track.
