Nice image, Ady!

Might I suggest FLAC. It seems to be the more popular and that was the feedback I had doing SYMPHONY FOR A SAGA.

I'm totally interested in what you can remaster. How much tape his and other pops can you clear from an LP rip?

Thanks! Please let me know about the ROTS FLAC version. I believe I had to upload that one twice, so it very well could have a problem with the file.

Thanks again, Rob.

Boy if I ever feel bad about this work, all I have to do is get your opinion. Thanks for you're support!

I have, and I've got to say that they're all quite impressive. The Episode 1 suite would have to be my favorite due to your excellent remix of the Duel of the Fates and also, the Qui-Gon single. (Didn't even realize that he had a theme until I listened to it!)

 Thanks for compliments. TPM is probably my favorite suite as well. For some reason, that one just flowed together quite effortlessly.

Wow, incredible editing on both the "A New Hope" and "OT Preview" track! I especially liked the transition from the Force theme to the Episode 6 duel. Again, just excellent work!

 Thank you sir! It took quite a while to get the JEDI music tweaked to the point where it flows with the rest of the trilogy. Give the rest of the suites a listen and let me know what you think!

Seems to be working fine for me, at least in firefox. Didn't have to jump through any hoops...

I was attempting to download them via Opera so under your recommendation I flipped over to Firefox and the popped up like a flash so thanks for that.

I am looking forward to giving these a good listen.

My only advice in terms of doing a visual version is avoid any shots of lips moving without speach, it really breaks the mood and is visually jarring (silent movie buffs will note that silent films with spoken scenes without speach cards at regular intervals look very strange).

If you want to keep up with the action replace those shots with conceptual art matching the scene.

On a side note could you use your music editing skills to produce a couple of variations of the Anakin theme which blend in pitch, pace and with element additions of The Imperial March etc, to reflect the change from the innocent boy of Episode One to the near Vader of the middle of Episode 3 (and perhaps even a triumphant version intercut with the Force theme for Anakin redeemed)?

This came up as a suggestion in the Radical Prequel Redux thread but might also come in handy for people re-editing ROTJ.

It would also be nice to have a longer form versions of the Imperial Motiff from ANH and the Droids motiff from ESB (two musical elements which sadly were not revisited in later films).

 

 Thanks for the suggestions. I am sticking to using each film's music for each film's suite. The Imperial Motiff you mention from ANH is actually the Rebellion Motiff, if I remember. The best place that theme was expanded in was the assault on the blockade runner. I tried to create some form of an extended theme, but there wasn't enough variety to create a suitable theme. Unless, of course you are referencing the Death Star motiff, which also doesn't have enough out there to create a theme.

And finally, as for the incredible Droid Motiff from Empire, it has to be one of my favorite themes that isn't really fleshed out, kind of like the Qui-Gon theme from Menace. While I was able to create a nice theme for Qui-Gon, there once again isn't enough Droid motiff in the film, let alone including Jedi to make anything substantial.

I like your ideas about Anakin's theme, and I would love to hear a new triumphant version, but no original music exists to do that. It would certainly be cool, though.

Okay, Rob...

Here's the single for ANHv2, along with a special bonus track. Enjoy

 

 

 I also re-uploaded all the files. Let me know if there are any problems.

I assume I will have to register to obtain these sets as I just get to a generic page everytime.

 

 If you click the FREE USER button, it will take you to the download page. Ignore the advertisements, but watch the countdown in big bold letters. When the countdown ends, a download button will appear. Click and the download commences.

Sorry for the stupidity of RapidShare, but its the easiest thing to use.

Thanks for the heads up on the 404. Just messed up on the link. FLAC suites should be working now.

I've had great help from these boards. vbangle sent me a great DVD-9 of SW:R with the label printed and everything when I couldn't get my damn computer to burn anything decent. I really appreciated it and wish I could pay it back, but my burner is apparentl a POS.

Hi all...

The v2 is a rework for lossless audio and a remaster of missing music and the OT soundtracks.

I've been meaning to re-up all the missing audio links, but just haven't gotten around to it yet. I will be working on that soonly-ish. I just have had a hell of a year. I moved, changed work, and we had our first child in December.

The good news is I think I have ANHv2 close to finish. A few edits need some assistance. Hopefully I'll get around to do an ANH Single here, including an OT preview, with a drastically improved ROTJ sound.

Thanks to those that love this work. If anyone wants to make the music video for this, I'd love it...but I have no real time to devote to it. Have I ever told anyone I live and work with my wife in a group home? Yeah...that should answer those questions about time.

Not to continue the "change-a-thon" but most certainly, I've always been annoyed at the scene in TESB when the falcon does a flip around the cloud and heads back to get Luke, the cloud in the fore ground wasn't matted properly and the falcon is in front of the cloud when it actually should be behind it.

Anyone remember or notice what I'm talking about?
