I am glad the LLLR John Williams expansions continue. Please keep them coming! As for A.I., I love the film and the score; there aren't many films that can keep my interest and make me cry after repeated viewings. The music was perfect, both as a standalone listen and as a score that enhanced every scene it was in. I look forward to this expansion. While I've enjoyed Kubrick's films, A.I. with its stellar score was the film that always made me wonder how much better Kubrick's films could've been if he had a great working relationship with consistent composer(s) like Spielberg and Williams, et al.

One of JW's masterpieces... Very glad this is coming soon from La-La.

impressive
now THIS is a score that deserves expansion (ALWAYS? really?... ok ok)
will we hear the two versions of the entering-in-the-city track? I mean, with and without that kubrickian waltz quote?
Yeah that passage with the Strauss Rosenkavalier waltz in what I'm most intrigued to hear, if in fact it's included. Evidently that quote (as marvelously interpreted by JW) was one of Kubrick's specific musical requests for the score. On the Oscar promo it's kind of lost in a super-long piece that sounded edited together to me.
You might be remembering wrong. The cue you heard is the cue the quote is in.

I was actually hoping on Sunday night, while reading the John Williams LLL thread that it would be A.I. There are so many great John Williams scores I hope we eventually get from LLL, it really is hard to choose what to hope for next. Very glad to hear there'll be more, though.
I'm really excited to get this one, though I probably won't order it until sometime in June to combine it with a few other titles I'm eyeing.
On the subject of the film itself, I'm another that didn't really enjoy the movie the first time through, however it does seem to get better with age. I've seen it a couple times since seeing it in the theatre, and I've enjoyed it immensely. I find the ending especially interesting.

Spectacular release. I'm glad I never picked up a copy of the Oscar promo.
Surely one of the year's very best releases.

I found Spielberg's "A.I." a brilliant, heart breaking, poetic masterpiece and, perhaps, the most profoundly beautiful film of the past several decades. The ending of this remarkable movie had me sobbing for hours after I'd seen it. The film, for me, remains among the most deeply haunting, unforgettable motion pictures that I've ever experienced.

One of my all time favorite scores by John Williams finally gets a good release. I could never really warm up to the commercially released album, with two fluffy pop versions of one of the main themes thrown in.
The movie also has some of Spielberg's finest moments ever (particularly in the scenes with Gigolo Joe), though I hated the abysmal, heavy handed and talky ending. I want to like the movie... but the ending ruins it every time.

There's just a ton of music in the film that is not on the OST.
In fact, the original OST is probably one of Williams' most poorly assembled OSTs ever. He just chose a lot of the wrong highlights. There's an entire theme in the score that doesn't appear on the OST once!
