Sony Music has No Immediate Plans to Release Jablonsky's Transformers Movie Score

Sony making a bone-headed decision that's poor from both a consumer and supplier position? Who'd have thought it.

Bummers

Realistically, the window has passed on the maximum of people (ie the general public) that would purchase it. Only the select hardcore fans will... but that doesn't guarantee a profit.

Still, that's a shame.

Tossers.

That was something I was ACTUALLY looking forward to!

I have to call on Mr. Heston to sumarize what I am feeling right now, if I may:

"You maniacs! You blew it up!!!...G**damn you! Damn you all to hell!!!"

I doubt it would have turned a profit anyway if they had released it at the right time.

Anyone know how big the orchestral soundtrack market is?

Um, Burn...know how popular Star Wars is?

I still can't believe how stupid record labels are these days. HELLO? RELEASE IT ONLINE, there's no cost for them to do it that way and the hardcore fans can get what they want. It's so simple...

... oh and also, I'm sure Japan will release it, they do alot of TF CDs, so why not.


And not for anything, this was a great movie, BUT COMPAIRING THIS SCORE TO THE STAR WARS SCORES, are you mad!?!

you know the sound was nice, but jeez!

This movie had computers, and Megan's sparkly eyes, back curves, and clevage, THX digital surround sound and all types of otherthings to keep shit moving and make you both stay in and jump out of your seat.

Star Wars, of which I'm not realy a fan, was made some thirty years ago, with none of that cool stuff to help it along. During slow, and powerful points, a decent score was one of the only things they had to realy force the issues.

IT would have to be better than great!

You have your opinion, and now you know mine.

But if I may, go get some "GodSpeed You Black Emperor" and the Chris Young score for HellRaiser 1&2. Now you have my advice as well.

That's one franchise, and i'm well aware that there's more orchestral soundtracks than just the Star Wars movies.

I'm asking if anyone has any figures that shows how well orchestral soundtracks sell.

The X-Files movie had two soundtracks. One orchestral and the other "songs inspired by ..."

Seriously, I couldn't have said it better.
The "Soundtrack" they released sucks all kinds of slag.
This is an outrage!!!

I think this is a mistake. I'm sure it would've done fairly well in its genre. Maybe they'll release it along side the DVD release of the movie (if they do decide to release it at some point).
