I just watched it for the first time and even after reading D_J's reaction I didn't really expect how good this would have turned against the picture. We only stuck on the idea and made it and... WOW !!!... After seeing this it reenforces my thought than never a film has been scored so brilliantly and so deep in detail. The music, the orchestration, all is used to sustain the storytelling at the point, indeed, that the score itself would suffice.

Worth to notice - and I didn't realize while working at editing the music - that everything has been scored, and the silent parts remaining are very rare and short. It's also the first time I listen to 1) the whole score in a stroke 2) My final upgraded versions of all the tracks from the AE together (they are still dispatched on a few CD's).

I only watched this on computer, with good headphones though. This black and white version restored from the GOUT fits totally with the overall analog feeling of these recordings 'imo'. And I envy every one who will be able to watch it on TV with the right sound system !

I'm glad we've met to make that one D_J ! ;) You've made possible what I thought it would be for me: the cherry on the cake !

Not to mention *ABC*.

Thanks not to expose my private life to the whole world !

I actually used the button with the line through the letters ABC to create this post. Strangely satisfying.

That was the more fitting situation possible for using that button: it was destined to do that.

You'll never witness that before the next 76 years.

Nah, Sluggo doesn't like to be touched.  It's just dead at work.

That's what you say !

Just thought about this thread... Funny. I never saw Sluggo's name at the top of each forum so often than currently.

I think this thread is  somehow a kind of hug request ! (A little like the Warb "poll" topic).

Sluggo said:

haha.. what?

1) I knew I was removed from your list when I saw your name as last poster (means before checking your reply or my list).

2) WAR-BLUR, I like it too: two words combined that make great sense... On the contrary of "Military Intelligence".

... I have a doubt now on Kenny Baker.

Haha !

... Reminds me of the videos of the recording session videos where John Williams is leading the orchestra with the movie being played with the scoring marks for tempo (white bars which go across the screen) and other marks (large white circles) for moments he's set up to hit.  You can see a little of that in: (at around the 2:50 minutes in)

I'm glad it reminds you this, that's exactly the point... I mean: to see how it has been scored - despite unavoidable film versions edits, whatever they did after (reply I adress in the same time to Sadelaire's complain I read a few posts back).

I never spotted the white bars, or rather didn't noticed these were linked to the conducting. I recommand to watch Part 6 of this documentary to anyone who is interested, for the "Mynock Cave" recording sessions.

D_J, huge thanks for the conveniences you offer, making this available so easily ! :)
