These guys all need track 7!

not just them, it should be everyone that downloaded this. funny how one of the best tracks on the album is glitched huh lol. Thanks anyways.

Thanks upload.

Very Very fantastic

thanks

Darkashram, are you interested to trade the track 7? ….hehehe just kidding 😉

It’s becoming apparent he doesn’t have the CD, that’s okay just listen to the 320k for now and buy the CD when it’s available.

You can just replace the bad track with the 320 version for now. You’ll have mostly lossless. Who knows he might re-rip that track. We’ll see what tomorrow brings.

What can I say? Gazillion thanks! Brilliant!

Thanks!

my god…. I’m re-uploading the track by now… "It’s becoming apparent he doesn’t have the CD"… you don’t know that sometimes people are sleeping at night???

Exactly.

Give this guy a break. It’s clear from the quality of the tracks that they came directly from the CD. Any listen to the bad sounding so-called "320" versions currently going around on here confirm this. They are all from the same bad rip. The FLAC (even with the previous error in track 07) sounds great, as it should. Not just because it’s a FLAC, but because the source is of high quality. It would sound fine if you took these FLAC files and down-converted them to 320kbps MP3, as many other quality rips of this kind have proven countless times. In fact maybe somebody should do it for the folks who require an actual 320 rip of this score.

Hello guys:)

Link for the corrected track 7 added 🙂

Enjoy

And thank you Captain!

1) thanks for the track 7

2) for me this score is a BIG deception 4/10

Interesting. How?

WOW thanks!!!
first listen now!

Also there’s another great new for the master’s fan. Tonight there’s a premiere of War Horse score at WQXR (http://www.wqxr.org/#/programs/movies/2011/oct/22/) (9PM EST) Don’t miss it!! I hope the host doesn’t speak so much as in the 5minutes preview.

Isn’t funny? 3 years without new material, and now, in the same day. I’m gonna listen to both new records!

Hello guys:)

Link for the corrected track 7 added 🙂

Enjoy

And thank you Captain!

Darkashram…… You’re the BEST!!!!!!!!!! thx!!!!!!!!

Thanks for another masterpiece.

Listened to it twice. While there’s never a dull moment in those 65 minutes, there’s not a fresh one either. All the familiar elements are there, in all the familiar places.

Which is good news for Williams lovers, who mostly want what they already got. But on that level, it’s a solid effort. Certainly less vacuous than Hook or Spacecamp or Indy 4.

Thanks again!

Thanks! 🙂

This is not disappointing at all. John Williams is almost 80 years old now and we won’t get anything as impressive as his 1970’s, 1980’s and early 1990’s music anymore.

Loved the opening theme, and maybe I’m imagining things but track 8 from 0:35 to 0:50 sort of reminded me of Jerry Goldsmith’s King Solomon’s Mines. Overall I’m very pleased.

I can’t stop listening the final track, probably listened over 50 times by now. That track alone is one of the funnest things Williams has composed in his career. Overall the score isn’t magnificent but it’s certainly above my expectations for a film like Tintin.

Thanks a bajillion!

thanks ! 🙂 🙂

Thanks for track 7 Darkashram !!:D

I’ve just watched the movie in worldwide preview in Paris. First hour is great, reallly great, perfectly in the spirit from Herge’s Tintin. The scenario doesn’t match perfectly with the story but it fits. It’s cool, innovative, funny, it works!! After 1 hour and a wonderful boat battle in a flashback the second part is a big mess where this "spirit" is running away, where the story has nothing to see with the original scenario. The end is very very bad with, I’m sorry to say it, an "american end" with a stupid dual at the end on the docks. To resume, the second part is bad which is a shame because the first 60 minutes where great!!!! So the final feeling is deception… It could have a wonderful movie, one of the best Spielberg ever but the story is just too bad contrarly to the original which was an excellent scenario… My friends, if you don’t know very well the Tintin’s graphic novels i can say that it’s the first hour (most especially the first 20 minutes) which are perfectly in the right spirirt of Herge! I now hope that the next movie, if they do one, will be "Objectif Lune" and "On a march� sur la Lune"(We’ve walked on the Moon) which are in the best stories ever!!!!

Thanks for sharing. Too bad this score is such a snoozer. Actually it is worse than that. A melodic melange of musical mediocrity. Where is the passion? John Williams really, really needs to retire.

thank you

Huh? There’s more passion in three seconds of this thing than every Hollywood score of the last ten years combined…

in french we said "minimum syndical", it’s not a major Willams score , it’s a little Williams score

you’re kidding right?

Track 7 has the error on the promo too.

Never liked Williams action scores, he writes beautiful themes, but "middle-section" is not very good.

Solid effort by Williams! Nothing extraordinary, but maybe that’s to be expected (major budget, major producer, major composer -> no risks taken).

@firefue: What you’re saying is that Hollywood (once again) ruined a classic by changing its story according to stereotype?

Well, I was already wondering why Spielberg was producing this type of material when there’s a perfectly acceptable television series around.

But now it is obvious that he was only looking for a new cash cow that suits his interests. Something "new" to sell to the children. So nothing to see here.

"Huh? There’s more passion in three seconds of this thing than every Hollywood score of the last ten years combined…"

Perfectly right!
Listen and I mean LISTEN this score carefully. It’s versatile, inventive, exciting and it fits so well the story and the characters!
I like the "Pirates of the Caribbean’s" scores but the Pirate music in "The Adventures of Tintin" is even better! They’re so many Highlights in the soundtrack, while the majority of today’s composers rely on one or two cheap ideas.
Great score, vastly superior to "Indiana Jones 4". In fact, for such a fun score from him, we may have to go back to "The Temple of Doom".

———- Post added at 10:47 AM ———- Previous post was at 10:40 AM ———-

Speaking of the film itself, it’s right to say the last minutes drop the "realistic" approach (The Herg� way Spielberg and Jackson choose to keep on screen) for a more "Hollywood" ending, but even the hard specialists of Herg�’s work admits it doesn’t ruin the film AT ALL !!

I’ve watched it with a friend and we were agree that it ruins the film. I’ve passed from a great wonderful movie to a big deception. For me at the end the major feeling is that it’s a waste cause Americans can’t prevent to make a stupid end (I coud cite bilions of films like that where the end, to please majority of the teenagers, are with too many actions where story is going down (Look "Avatar" where the first hour is great and the second part is (for me!) one of the worth ends that I’ve ever seen, "Alice in Wonderland" is the same with a faithful adaptation from the novel and the end is just "American", sorry to say lol. Why American directors can’t just stay faithful with the original story (which is just twice better)? I really wondering cause they are (maybe the only ones) able to do it (the first hour is great and really "respects" the graphic novels…) I think that for AMercian people it won’t bother them cause I think they don’t really know Tintin!

Thanks for sharing. Too bad this score is such a snoozer. Actually it is worse than that. A melodic melange of musical mediocrity. Where is the passion? John Williams really, really needs to retire.

Even at his worst, Williams is a thousand times better than most active composers. It’s probably not his best score (we could all argue about that one, let’s just say he wrote his best works between 1980-1995, Star Wars excepted of course), but it has good points in the current trend of mediocrity we’ve been used to by Hollywood: A real melody, not notes thrown on a partition "a la" aphex twin, a symphonic approach and a solid reminder that Williams, at the core, is a jazz musician and a pianist. And I really like the use of an accordion in the score. The instrument was really popular in the north of france and Belgium in the fifties.

A good score. not exceptionnal, but a serious reminder to all "so called" score composers of Hollywood.

@firefue
Agree with the end of "Alice in Wonderland" and the general problem with the American films building so well a story and ruining it within the last ten minutes. But still doesn’t agree it would be the case here.

…and, by the way, the "World Premiere" was in Brussel, 6 hours sooner!

This movie is a wasted chance, nevertheless. It’s especially hard for me since I grew up with the comic albums and still love them to this day.

They should have given Besson a shot with this one, since he’s at least European enough to stay true to the story and not ruining it with an "American" ending. Jackson’s influence I really cannot see here (he did excellent compromises on LOTR), it feels more like Spielberg and the production companies’ suits being responsible.

Let’s hope they don’t "discover" Val�rian and Laureline one day and ruin it the same way.

Tango, knowing your taste in music from what you have mentioned you enjoyed on the Orchestra Thread for many a long time, I can understand why you would like this where I did not.

Ashbarett, Are you really going to say that if I did not like this score, it is because I just didn’t listen to it carefully enough?!?!?!?!? Seriously????????????? No chance we just have different taste, huh.

Firefue, I agree with you about American directors. And about the motifs of American films overall. Not just the endings. I don’t know if they do it like this because they believe the audience expects certain elements to be in a film, or if the studios have that opinion and hire directors who abide by that belief. I is often a truism that Hollywood makes their films with these common elements because they are scared to death of a movie bombing if these elements are not there.

It is a shame.

This movie is a wasted chance, nevertheless. It’s especially hard for me since I grew up with the comic albums and still love them to this day.

Besson and his firm Europa Corp have already butchered Ad�le Blanc-Sec and Michel Vaillant. Which were both either not very good or really crappy, depending on the opinions. And let’s not forget Fanfan la Tulipe, another "adaptation" (more like a premedited murder to me ;)). I haven’t seen the movie yet, but you have to keep in mind two things:

A: it was definitly not made for a french/Belgian audience. Whether you like it or n ot, this movie was directed by an american, for american and anglo-saxon audiences first and foremost.
B: the orignal material consists in more than 20 albums, with characters meeting each other for the first time at various points in the chronology. They had to do drastic choices. It’s not like cutting a few chapters in LOTR. They have to skip nearly half of the comics to start there. Big compromises had to been made. Add to that that Herg�’s family is not easy to deal with, and that the original material has serious flaws, that needed to be "cut" from the movie. Can’t represent African people as morons (See Tintin in the Congo) , Americans as systematically corrupted (Tintin in America), Jewish people as greedy businessmen (The Shooting Star) and Japanese as idiotic gangsters (The Blue Lotus), can we ? 😀

Thanks for these tracks. Haven’t seen the film yet – of course – so I’ll reserve judgement on its merits.

Thanks for sharing. Too bad this score is such a snoozer. Actually it is worse than that. A melodic melange of musical mediocrity. Where is the passion? John Williams really, really needs to retire.

What?! Why should he? John Williams – 16 The Homecoming – YouTube (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-dscRLH71oE) & John Williams – 13 No Man’s Land – YouTube (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LyFWg5-99cM) .. Great things to come.

oh snap…my war horse youtube videos have made it here from JWfan. 😀

you forgot "Seeding, and Horse vs. Car": http://youtu.be/4go1bdN6sp0

Don’ mock TinTin (Kuifje as we say here) he’s Belgian, just like me
I urge you all to buy the soundtrack and see the movie.

Why the hell does America have to wait until Christmas to see this movie? ARGH.

@toetke

Yeah, TINTIN (Kuifje) rules for the Belgians!
But Sony Belgium, despite an official date of 21th of october, haven’t released the score yet!
Maybe they wait t’ill we forget to buy it!

@firefue

Besson?!! Jason Statham as Tintin, with a score by the incredibly talented Eric Serra ?
Too bad, we’re missing something here!

It’s not me who said that i would never say that lol thanks to check up the pseudo before answering XD

Thanks

Besson and his firm Europa Corp have already butchered Ad�le Blanc-Sec and Michel Vaillant. Which were both either not very good or really crappy, depending on the opinions.

I have only seen Ad�le Blanc-Sec – yet. OK, it wasn’t great, but I would have never considered Tardi to be suitable for Besson in the first place. Maybe Jeunet could have done something better with it. His Un Long Dimanche De Fian�ailles was pretty damn close to Tardi’s apocalyptic World War I stories.

And Michel Vaillant… I don’t know, never really been a fan of that series. Lucky Luke or Asterix may have been worthier of discussion (but not produced by Besson).

And let’s not forget Fanfan la Tulipe, another "adaptation" (more like a premedited murder to me ;)).

An unnecessary remake anyway since Belmondo’s version is already most excellent.

A: it was definitly not made for a french/Belgian audience.

Then why not go for a completely new story? Drawing fans as well as other audiences you could have offered them something new and fresh (and Herge’s estate doesn’t matter anyway, only the money they get as you can clearly see already). Have 10 minutes of exposition or do a proper story which gives us flashbacks of how the characters actually met and off you go. No need to do all the exposition AND the stories of 3-4 graphic novels meshed together into one film.

Whether you like it or n ot, this movie was directed by an american, for american and anglo-saxon audiences first and foremost.

Well, yeah, that somewhat disqualifies the film from the get go. 😉

B: the orignal material consists in more than 20 albums, with characters meeting each other for the first time at various points in the chronology.

Not of relevance. You don’t have to DO everything in the first film. Start off with one character meeting another and that’s it. The same problem with The Three Musketeers from 1993. Rushed, meshed and dumbed down. The newest incarnation from this year is even WORSE in that regard.

They had to do drastic choices. It’s not like cutting a few chapters in LOTR. They have to skip nearly half of the comics to start there.

No they did not have to do that. Take one story – even better have a NEW story – and tell it. No need to go full exposition and establishing every character from the get go.

Big compromises had to been made.

Sorry, but that’s a devil’s advocate-argument. There’s no need to show understanding if Hollywood ruins a franchise that has enough good stories to tell – or would most certainly find enough audiences if it was new material.

Add to that that Herg�’s family is not easy to deal with, and that the original material has serious flaws, that needed to be "cut" from the movie.

Sorry, but I don’t buy that argument. First of all there is an estate. So there are no "family issues" but a company that wants to stay true to the author’s original. Except in this case they obviously sold out to Hollywood. Same thing with The Smurfs btw.

Can’t represent African people as morons (See Tintin in the Congo) , Americans as systematically corrupted (Tintin in America), Jewish people as greedy businessmen (The Shooting Star) and Japanese as idiotic gangsters (The Blue Lotus), can we ? 😀

First of all, Herge corrected many of the stereotypes later or excused for using them in his stories – he even withhold Tintin in the Congo and the Soviet Union-story from reprinting (for some time). And second of all, those clich�s never were the point in Herge’s stories. OK, apart from the fact that he kept some of the stereotypes for political criticism – e.g. the Japanese behaving like thugs and murderers in China and slave trade still going on in the Middle East.

Thanks for sharing! Haven’t seen the movie yet, so I get to hear this with a fresh mind.
PS: I know this is not the place for requests, but does anyone have ‘The adventures of Tintin’ soundtrack by Ray Parker, Jim Morgan and Tom Szczesniak in FLAC or 320 kbps mp3? Would be much appreciated! 🙂

Thanks!

Thanks for the mp3 reup!
