Am I the only person missing Trent's voice? Frankly, while this album is really good, I am getting a little sick of instrumentals. And, I'm surprised how mellow the entire thing is. I guess there aren't going to be an action scenes in the movie . . . or they will be set to slow music. I wonder if he's gotten this whole soundtrack thing out of his system for now, and if he's ever going to go back to NIN where he actually sings?!?

Zoo Station. 25th October. Your argument is invalid.

You missed the memo...he IS working on NIN material.

Time for a customer service gripe (sorry, ignore it if you must):

This Sandbag crowd haven't impressed. Ordered on the 2nd of December. I never got an acknowledgement but my PayPal was charged; can't get into the shop site today to extract any sort of download link. I've managed to procure the download elsewhere, but that's hardly the point when the legal method met with such a shoddy organisation. Disappointing, especially as my enquiry won't be answered until Monday when they all get back to work.

You know...it would be nice to have a separate thread just for the "customer service" bitching, so that it doesn't clog up the thread made for discussing the ACTUAL TGWTDT PROJECT.

And I called it last night...bitchfest about the actual music was inevitable. "Go back to doing NIN...blah, blah blah!" There is a thread for random comments like this, and it's not THIS one.

I completely agree, which is why I spent some time looking for such a thread. Needed to vent. Now I'm off to listen. Six posts in three years doesn't clog as much as 8,829 in just under four, though....
It's a mess but it will be over soon and everyone can get back to their normal rock 'n' troll.

LOL!!!

And for the pics of the CDs...there are more than 39 tracks....hmmmmm....

Also, interesting titles!

TSN had many tracks repeated, I don't think this means that there's 6 more tracks on here, but possibly there's less than the 37 score tracks on there!

I just began my 3rd loop (6th hour) of this absolutely beautiful, intricate, hypnotic work! Trying to work on graphics, I find myself turning up the volume and closing my eyes... An edgy bliss!

Trent, I am at a complete loss for accurate expression! This is stirring, moody and rich - the detail and stage you've set are powerful and delicate - such a perfect balance and tremendous range! I am enjoying this on a level that takes me places - emotional and moving! Writing in a forum seems not to be enough, regardless; Thank You! Your work, as it flows and evolves with you, is such a gift. We are so lucky to have this place to share with you and fellow fans - you have touched many! Additionally, the care you put into this release has been extraordinary and all is deeply appreciated.

I love this music to the extent I better understand why my Grandfather was so moved and emotional by the classical era composers he loved. My weekend will be filled with this music as I'll be editing and searching creativity - perfect!

Again, to our great 21st Century Composer - Thank You! And sincere congratulations on this complex and beautiful release!

Wow. "The Heretics" is one of the most impressive pieces of music that Trent has composed in some time. There are so many elements and they all mesh perfectly together.

That looks really awesome! I thought I saw somewhere that there were 4 CD's though.

Is there a booklet? No or else it would have been shown. It is under $15.00 right?

-TreyS

No one has ever said there's 4 CDs, it's 3. And the images that nintrentfreak kindly shared are not from the commercial album, but from the Award Show sampler, that is sent to people who vote on what should win what come award season.

TreyS posted:

Oh indeed I mush have been mistaken on the four compact disc's idea, there's three.

The Award Show Sampler? So it's like 65% of the whole movie soundtrack? Cool!

Yep, there's no bar code that's the first thing I should have looked for that tells.

Where can you vote? -TreyS

You can't vote. Only people selected to vote can - so for the Oscars, that's the Academy, etc.
Until we see track times, it won't be clear how much of the actual OST is in the sampler, but I think it's probably more than just 65%

... and do you dance in this "other room"?

I do hate bitching. I also hate gibberish nonsense. One outweighs the other.

Bitching is not calling out gibberish nonsense. Bitching is throwing an absolute shit fit because someone is somehow so disappointed in a lossless 16/44 FLAC version and can't just quiet down and enjoy the music, at least until Trent does release a 24/96 version.

I mean, I'm not putting down all technical advantages. I'm not saying to shut up and enjoy a 96kbps .m4a version of the album or something stupid like that, but in all fucking honesty, how much of a difference do people audibly hear in a 24/96 rip?

I'm 18 years old with good hearing and good speakers. I can't hear shit over 16/44.

If some of you can hear it, or more accurately "feel" the more analogous PCM since the human ear isn't going to be hearing 48kHz which is the effective frequency of 96kHz, that's fine, but if your situation is at the point where you can't enjoy a 16/44 rip then that's you having some sort of OCD reaction.

I am not in the mood for a sound frequency conversation. You can't even pick up on sarcasm, I sure as fuck don't want to talk about your preferences of sound control. I could alter it in a mix program if my music listening life depended on it.

I got your sarcasm dick, it wasn't very funny.

Currently on track 19, Aphelion, and loving what I have heard in the first half. Thanks Trent & Atticus!

Anyone know what these extra four tracks on the Oscar sampler are?
nintrentfreak, I'm kind of looking at you as you posted the images...

5 tracks*

And there are none, probably. The TSN sampler ( [www.ninwiki.com] ) had multiple tracks repeated, and whilst it did have one original track (Dinner With Sean), I think TRAR probably have put one version of every piece of score they've made on the OST this time round.

Yes, and Atticus, of course.

Apologies go out to him if he happens to read this forum and came across that comment.
