Chris My feeling as well! BOFTA as a movie was such a huge and frustrating mess that I hardly blame Howard for producing by far the weakest of the six ME scores to it. Nevertheless, there is still a sufficient amount of material to appreciate, but to me, it will always remain the misfit amongst the otherwise excellent to brilliant scores. And I rather prefer a re-issue of the LOTR:CR than a Hobbit:CR (at the time of the LOTR releases, I wasn't able to buy them ...).    Posted:   Mar 6, 2015 - 11:54 AM     By:   mstrox   (Member) Doug Adams has made some very promising statements re: LOTR CRs on Twitter in the past month or so. https://twitter.com/DougAdamsMusic/status/563724761260240896 My guess would be that they're going back in print for the LOTR Concert series starting soon. Another crackpot theory from me, with no backup at all but just a gut feeling - maybe in more compact packaging.    Posted:   Mar 11, 2015 - 5:31 PM     By:   calmblueocean81   (Member) For those looking for the special edition, I ordered my copy last week from Amazon UK at this link: http://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B00OM8BWO4/ref=olp_product_details?_encoding=UTF8&me= It doesn't list it as the Special Edition, but the cover and the track listing indicated that it was. I had to wait till it arrived today to make sure it was correct and thankfully it was!    Posted:   Mar 11, 2015 - 9:43 PM     By:   mikecee1   (Member) Amazon.de will save you even more with the euro so low... http://www.amazon.de/Hobbit-Battle-Armies-Limited-Deluxe/dp/B00OM8BWO4/    Posted:   Mar 12, 2015 - 9:28 AM     By:   Jon Lewis   (Member) I agree, of course, that the three Hobbit scores taken as a whole were not in LOTR's league; however, there were themes, cues and ideas that definitely were in LOTR's league: --The Radagast theme from AUJ. My favorite cue on any of the three albums. So delightful. Makes me want to hear what Shore would do with a more whimsical fantasy property (i.e. something in the harry potter lineage rather than the Tolkien lineage). Of course this ended up on the cutting room floor. --The music for Smaug with the metallophones. Total bullseye, beautiful, eerie, adaptable --The 'dragon-sickness' phasing-strings idea --The hushed, murmuring voices for the evil forest --the love theme. Infinitely more affecting than the on-screen romance --The pompous music for Laketown. Again, Shore doing whimsy and doing it well --pretty much all the suite cues and bonus cues they stuck at the ends of the deluxe editions were great; the BOFA ones especially so.    Posted:   May 21, 2018 - 10:08 PM     By:   CK   (Member) Starting at 4:21: my favourite part of the score, with the best rendition of "The Reclamation of Nature", followed by Shore's beautiful idea for the Eagles (in the Hobbit). Also love the bombastic finish in d-minor!    Posted:   May 22, 2018 - 1:06 AM     By:   Marcato   (Member) I'll take the "bloated" Bag End sequences over the endless clashing of cgi hordes any day!

The extended edition did help the film A bit - but since the movie Continues with LOTR trilogy it’s okay with ending    Posted:   May 22, 2018 - 4:44 AM     By:   1977   (Member) Annoyingly I waited too long to pick up the CE of BOTFA and now it's beyond my reach pricewise. I have the other two. I will have to get the UK pressing (Decca) with it's inferior packaging.    Posted:   May 22, 2018 - 10:23 AM     By:   jlj93byu   (Member) Starting at 4:21: my favourite part of the score, with the best rendition of "The Reclamation of Nature", followed by Shore's beautiful idea for the Eagles (in the Hobbit). Also love the bombastic finish in d-minor! Seconded. Nature's Reclamation was one of my favorite themes from the first time I saw the films. During the sequence in Two Towers of the last march of the Ents, I remember being in the theater and thinking about how powerful that scene was. Then, of course, its grand summation in "The Battle of Pelennor Fields" (on the CR of ROTK). That was my ring tone for years. But this rendition really is beautiful and majestic in its own right. It may be my favorite overall as well. Then that ending, it really is quite dramatic, and a perfect example of honoring the classic, epic film scores of yesteryear. Both those parts make my hair stand on end.    Posted:   May 22, 2018 - 11:48 AM     By:   Roy Donga   (Member) I just played that track and ended up playing to the end of the disc. Thanks for reminding me what astounding music this is!    Posted:   May 22, 2018 - 1:34 PM     By:   KT   (Member) .    Posted:   Jun 6, 2018 - 12:08 AM     By:   Tango Urilla   (Member) .
