ramy Posted October 16, 2004 Share Posted October 16, 2004 That's pretty interesting to know. I wonder which company LucasArts has this relationship with. I wonder if that also includes the in-house, classic LucasArts music (not starwars/indiana jones). Hopefully this company will be cool in future situations for everyone's sake. Plus if they have the rights to publish the soundtracks, why don't they? Wouldn't that be great if it were in the works to get these songs out on the shelves? I would buy them all!

The Tingler Posted October 17, 2004 Share Posted October 17, 2004 I hope everyone here would... WOULDN'T YOU?!? Not KOTOR though, I'm happy with that one. Actually, the legal clash here about John Williams' themes is probably the same reason why no Indy or Star Wars soundtracks are released, despite both Emperor's Tomb and KOTOR having fantastic orchestral scores and would lend themselves perfectly to soundtracks.

Murray the Chao Posted October 20, 2004 Share Posted October 20, 2004 I say put it all back up. If FucasArts(I'm calling them that again because they have dared to attack our beloved Mojo)doesn't in fact own the copyrights, then they do NOT have the right to make you take it down.

ramy Posted October 20, 2004 Share Posted October 20, 2004 They asked to take the one's that they don't own (sw/i.j.) off because they don't want to get into trouble with other companies. I can understand that. They allowed the ones that they owned to stay online. So be thankful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

masterdebator Posted October 20, 2004 Share Posted October 20, 2004 OK, I don't have enough patience to read all of this, but who did the artwork? I am looking for a good program, that is cheap, that I can download to a DIAL-UP computer. Yeah 28.8 is really Hell. So I was told of this one fox something, but it was almost a gig, so I said, "yeah right." Can someone burn it, and send it to me, I'll pay for the CD or DVD via cash, because I don't have a bank account. Please, CD's are cheeper, but I have a DVD burner if it has to be that way. But, the artwork is really great, I like the transparencies, like the Outlaws, I hope no one minds, but I used that picture somewhere else, but I didn't alter it. And I ave the site name, where I found it. But how do you do it? Also, yeah, I think that this last time was fairly nice, not like the other message, that used the term, "terminate."

daltysmilth Posted October 23, 2004 Share Posted October 23, 2004 I'm sure that at least part of the reason they (Lucasarts [and other companies as well]) don't release a lot of these soundtracks commercially is that they just don't think there's enough of a demand for them. It's the same reason the complete versions of film scores aren't released. At least in the U.S. I know in Japan there's a huge market for game soundtracks. Possibly film scores, as well, but I'm just assuming with that. Sure, maybe everyone on the Mojo network, and possibly Adventuregamers and other boards as well would buy a Day of the Tentacle or a Rogue Squadron soundtrack if one were released, but how many people is that? Probably not enough to warrant the release of a commercial soundtrack. Of course, like so many parts of our society, marketing is a chicken and egg thing. Companies don't release products because they don't think enough people would buy it to justify the expense in making it, and people won't buy something if the option to buy it is not presented to them. A "supply and demand" type economy is, by definition, controlled by both the producers and the consumers. Anyone who tells you differently is either lying or misinformed. P.S. I'd like to echo Jan's earlier sentiment and say let's give a shout-out to P.R. people. They're like advertising people, but with integrity. (And if anyone on this board is in advertising, my apologies I mean no offense to you specifically [that I know of:)].) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alien426 Posted October 23, 2004 Share Posted October 23, 2004 daltysmilth, you're right about Japan. They have a version of Ghost Dog's soundtrack that's not just the rap parts, but an actual soundtrack. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

klokwerk Posted October 31, 2004 Share Posted October 31, 2004 I don't know if I should be posting these links, but considering the fact that the MP3 links no longer work, I thought it would be okay for me to do so. Catch a glimpse of the soundtracks that are long gone, whether you saw them when they were online or not... Indiana Jones and the Emperor's Tomb Indiana Jones and the Fate of Atlantis Indiana Jones and the Infernal Machine Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic Star Wars: Force Commander Star Wars: Battle for Naboo Star Wars: Rogue Squadron Star Wars: Rogue Squadron II - Rogue Leader Star Wars: Rogue Squadron III - Rebel Strike Star Wars: Dark Forces Please, MODS, this shouldn't be violating any of the rules. I know that this site had to take down the MP3s due to legal action, but the links don't work -> this is purely to look at what was lost! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rapp Scallion Posted October 31, 2004 Share Posted October 31, 2004 Suggestion: Adding pictures for direct printing on CD-Rs (With either disc 1/disc 2 or disc A/disc B written on them) And I noticed something. The track "40 - Blue Casket Interior" in the PC soundtrack is named "40 - Blue Casket Exterior" in the filename. And beneath you'll find "41 - Inside the Blue Casket". And this makes me think that the Exterior/Interior track is from outside the Blue Casket. I haven't checked with the game what's correct, but I thought I'd let you know. It's named Blue Casket Interior on the CD cover. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Tingler Posted October 31, 2004 Share Posted October 31, 2004 Is it? Can't say I actually noticed, but the two are very distinct... I'll check that out and get back to you. EDIT1: It will be the same, but not as clear as the Interior version. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rapp Scallion Posted October 31, 2004 Share Posted October 31, 2004 Hehe, I didn't listen to them, I just noticed it when I downloaded the soundtrack. Well, I have listened to the two tracks now, and can say 100% that "Blue Casket Interior" is wrong and "Blue Casket Exterior" is correct. Well, seems like someone has to change the cover, then...

The Tingler Posted November 1, 2004 Share Posted November 1, 2004 Yep, you're correct. It's a misspelling. Just checked page 4 of this thread to see if I'd made the mistake, and... nope. Phew. Laserschwert? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rapp Scallion Posted November 2, 2004 Share Posted November 2, 2004 Well, I have written this in a mail to someone, but it's been a few months with no answer, so I'll take chance to ask the question again. In the original Grim Fandango there is a (genius) track named Los Angelitos, but in the additional soundtrack, it's named Foreman’s Office. I wonder why you didn't keep the official name of the track when you created the additional soundtrack? I think there's one or two other tracks in the additional soundtrack which have got other official names, too. I can check it for you if you want. And which tracks are the tracks from the OST which you didn't include on the additional soundtrack? (Well, if I'm going through all of the official soundtrack for names, I'll probably find it out...) -Rapp Scallion Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Tingler Posted November 2, 2004 Share Posted November 2, 2004 Again, check page 4 of this thread. There you'll find my complete in-depth guide to the Grim Fandango soundtrack. Tracks marked with a * appear on the Official soundtrack, and I give the straight Scumm Revisited title with the soundtrack title in brackets. Jan went for the straight version, perhaps in an effort to distinguish it from the Official soundtrack (which is also on the site, of course). Out of all the tracks on the Official soundtrack, only Manny & Meche (second from last) isn't in the Complete soundtrack with its own track, although I think it might be in the End Credits. EDIT: Oh, and if you were trying to e-mail Jan/Laserschwert/CaptainSolo, he's got a very very fussy e-mail provider - that's why I posted the soundtrack listing here. (My e-mail address is on the site just under the Grim soundtrack if you want to chat further, off-forum) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
