Probably the same reason YOU didn't get a LIFE TIME BAN for wishing cancer on a fellow member.
Which one would you say is worse?

"Obviously, what they did is worse since it actually happened. We don't deal in magical thinking, after all"
--------------------------
Wow!
So now you're not even gonna OWN what you said!!
I, and several other FSMers KNOW FULL WELL that you said this on these very pages.
You accused another member (William McCrum) of being a paedophile too, without any grounds other than your despotic lunacy!!
You know, I wouldn't even have bothered getting into any petty squabbles with you - you're beneath contempt - if it wasn't for the fact that you're the biggest blowhard around here, who's quick to judge and you're obsessed with wanting to BAN PEOPLE...all of this based on your own, oh so high moral standards!! (scoffs)
I can't stand people like that.
Your gutless cowardice above tells me ALL I NEED TO KNOW about you and your (lack of) character.
NEXT!!

Now...apologies to everyone else...and back to WILLOW.

Accused me of being a thief several years ago,when we were discussing a re-recording of a KING OF KINGS. All I did was suggest a way of raising the funds for it!!

You're talking to yourself on separate accounts.

Not especially convincing.

Has the International customer base also started receiving their shipment notices?

I'm sure many here already knew this and I am just way behind the times, but I recently learned the "Willow's Theme" track on the old OST album is not a unique recording, but just edited pieces of the end credits - the same exact music that will be heard 2 tracks later.

OST 6 Willow's Theme

  • 0:00-2:44 = OST 8 Willow The Sorcerer 7:33-10:16
  • 2:44-2:45 = OST 8 Willow The Sorcerer 7:33-7:34 again
  • 2:45-3:08 = OST 8 Willow The Sorcerer 8:15-8:38 again
  • 3:08-end = OST 8 Willow The Sorcerer 10:42-11:27

    That is absolutely fascinating. I did not know. Thank you for posting this LeBlanc


    Well, shoot! In all the 34 years I had no idea. Always assumed it was a complete take. The edit is incredible. Especially the 7:33-7:34 one. So seamless.

    By the way, does anyone else remember the music video of Willow's Theme that aired on MTV? It was a montage, intercutting a session with Homer conducting the London Symphony and scenes from the movie. I'd only saw it once in 1988 and found it odd, cause when else did I see something like that on MTV? Been looking for that to show up on YouTube for years now.

    Its not that I don't believe it - because I do, people know way more about this stuff than I ever will - but after all these years, I still don't hear any edits. It stands as whole and single thing to my ears. Absolutely wild.

    Now comes the question: Why was it stitched together instead of recorded as one thing? It can't be musical budget. I assume it has something to do with a LP track list and they made some sort of mistake in track order?

    Oh man, I find the 1988-era analog edits incredibly obvious now that I know they're there. Try listening with headphones.

    Did Horner record many album-specific tracks, especially in that era? Maybe he felt he was hired to score the movie, so spent all his effort on the 117 minutes of music required for that job. As for why he had someone assemble a 4 minute cut-down of the end credits to be its own track on the original score album, I guess he thought it enhanced the album experience being there.

    But it would have been nice if instead of that track, we got Death Dogs + Arrival At Snow Camp or something!

    I always figured it was just edited/pieced together to act as some kind of single or promo, for radio/TV airplay and such like.
    I can imagine Virgin Records trying everything to make this album have some broader crossover appeal.
    I've always found it to be a redundant track on the CD, due to its repetition, much like those Main Theme Reprise tracks on John Williams score CDs.

    I can't find it anywhere, but HBO made some sort of "video" of Willow's Theme it used to play between movies, back in the late 1980s. It had no images from the movie or Horner, but an orchestra in silhouette and bright colors. It had the credits in the lower left corner (a la MTV).

    But it's great when you're putting together a compilation of various film score highlights (i.e. Horner, of 1980's fantasy movies) and need just one track to represent Willow!

    1. Ordered!

    I'm just so thrilled that there are still places where I can make a choice. My music, my choice.

    I was chewing over whether or not I should order this before we go on our long-weekend trip, and I guess I overchewed, lol. Out of stock already! Hopefully it'll be back in stock soon.

    Huge hype at the time. Horner delivered what was called quite a strong score in 1988 and I welcome Intrada's effort in bringing a complete edition of the score. A big thanks !
    But this has become one of my least favorite scores from the great master. Almost to the point I find it boring and kind of "noisy". The movie is just awful.

    I've listened to the first few tracks. The Death Dogs track is more ferocious than I imagined. And the unused portion of Airk's Army is pretty nifty, too. Saving the rest for later tonight!
