The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo (2011)

[NIN64]

Just finally worked an uninterrupted play through into my schedule. At the moment I like it more than the Social Network score, which I really liked. I can't wait to hear these tracks put to the film!

[sheepdean]

For those of you who ripped all the website tracks, would you mind saying which ones are on the OST, and if they're longer/shorter/differenter?

do you really want to know? what if TR decides to put the cfitt tracks on the usb included with the deluxe edition? (not saying this is a possibility)

I have the tracks, somewhere on this bloody hard drive, anyway - and can't afford the LE. I just want to know for ninwiki, and have lost mine. Don't need to hear them, just want to know differences!

[Lisbeth]

Incorrect.

Corey, no idea. I haven't heard the FYC version and I'm not really rushing to it since it's shorter and doesn't have anything new on it. imail724, the dotcom.mp3 is shorter on the OST and is called "She Reminds Me Of You."

Thx for the clarification. ;)

I'm not trying to be stingy at all, but I do not want to be the one to post what I've noticed so far on the (very limited) tracks I've gone through. I think there's a much better time for this (like March of next year)

..I don't see what your issue is tbh (fine if you don't want to of course). I mean, all of these tracks were available for all to hear, and they're all on the soundtrack. I just am not used to the OST enough yet to place each one, plus I've mislaid them on my hard drive (probably should've named them), so I figured asking people with a better musical memory than I made sense.
And on ninwiki, I'd simply note "was on CFITT" and note any differences

[The Reason Being]

I might have mentioned this before, but:

Recurring motif, anyone? That low, seething drone accompanied by that sustained higher note. Each time definitely sounds the same to me, enough to warrant mention. Or am I tripping balls?

She Reminds Me Of You @ 0:18

I Can't Take It Anymore @ 0:28

While Waiting @ 1:04

Throughout 'Millennia'

Throughout 'A Pair Of Doves'

[Jon]

Got another listen in this evening...

What amounts to disc 1 (#1-#13) and disc 3 (#27-#39) is great. Disc 2 seems a little long sandwiched in-between those (my favorites from 2 are 'Under The Midnight Sun' and 'Aphelion').

Holy shit, though, 'Millenia' through 'Of Secrets' is probably the best TR/AR have done together so far. Very impressed with the last "sequence" of this score.

[Harry Seaward]

'Millenia' through 'Of Secrets' is probably the best TR/AR have done together so far.

Are you including NIN in that?

[slave2thewage]

Ugh, just got online for the first time in six days and I don't have an email to the OST. FML.

[ItsJustDave]

The original order receipt you received by e-mail should have a "live receipt" link included. Click on that and you should have access to the appropriate download.

[Jon]

Are you including NIN in that?

yes, I haven't been too impressed with 2005-present as far as the studio goes (for releases under 'NIN')

[Rdm]

I was so frustrated with trying to listen to this on shitty speakers I decided to buy some Sennheiser headphones. Plus i needed them anyways but this album will sound great on the Hd555 . = D

That reminds me that I need to upgrade from the HD 202s that I have.

But yeah, listening to this soundtrack through quality headphones is an entirely different and improved experience from subsequent listens through my laptop speakers. God this soundtrack is amazing.

I've seen him in Spaced too.

[jessamineny]

Well, the fact that he's an actor, and that the keyword is plague (and that Lisbeth goes to see Plague when she needs some extra special hacking work done), makes me even more sure of my suspicion. I wonder which city's screening you're supposed to find him at, and what he has to give you?

Edit: Oh, he actually plays Plague in the movie. Duh. His name is Tony Way.

That's a great interview, thank you! I love the part about not just doing something, but giving it your all, as well as his end comments there about what constitutes success and failure.

I've still not managed a complete playthrough, but so far I already like it more than both Social Network and Ghosts. I find I keep coming back to Great Bird Of Prey.

[PhoenixML]

This music is so awesome! can't get it out of my head.

I actually can't get it in my head cause there are too many content!! It is awesome and EPIC...ly long.

[Indefinite_Cure]

no, marimbas!

Seriously the music is amazing!

[Magtig]

This soundtrack needs more broken tink tink sounds. That's what it needs.

[sheepdean]

The soundtrack is amazing in context of the film (just got back from screening). I was surprised where some tracks went, but it all made sense contextually.

[acidpolly]

That's fantastic. I wonder if Fincher chose With Teeth since he directed the music video for Only.

[leo3375]

Haven't seen this movie yet, but I've read the books and seen the Swedish adaptations. Plague is likeable and a fairly comedic character. I just hope that Trinity and his buddy also appear in this adaptation.

[GoodSoldier333]

Love that nin wardrobe choice.

[Jon]

What's this then, three hours of fiddling with xylophones? you know you've had 'The Heretics' stuck in your head since you first heard it, don't lie (and as already pointed out it's a marimba; xylophones are for pussies)


http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FK1HSyLD3_c

[Wretchedest]

it is 3 Hours of marimbas ha. actually my first description of this was "three hours of diddling xylophones over mysterious noises and desolate hums"

Some of it also seems to be a bit recycled (melodically speaking) from the Social Network. But I love it still.

[punish7]

Just got back from the LA screening of the movie. It was really good and had a lot of atmosphere to it. Trent, Mariqueen, Rob, Alan and Jordie were all there watching it. Seeing it with the people that worked on it, made it a very unique experience. Very cool night.

[witte]

^^great man great^^
that's why I slept so well till now...

[dzaver]

It's a great stand-alone album. Perfect for winter walks. Snow. Fog. A train ride. Everything that Ghosts should be.

I love the beginning and the end. The middle somehow drags for me. Not all the songs. But some of them.

It's different from Social Network so I can't really compare it.

=( Hate you. All we got were some Sony representatives who were very bad at organising/looking professional.

[pushingreality]

SF Screening was great. They had a giveaway of the metal posters that we saw from one of the early videos on mouthtapedshut (extremely jealous of the person who won it 2 rows in front of me). Everyone got really cool posters (darkened profile shot of Lisbeth)...and the film, of course, was fantastic. I was a little disappointed that certain tracks that I liked on the album weren't included in the film, but what was used fit really, really well with the scenes in which they were featured.

[sick among the pure]

Trent, Mariqueen, Rob, Alan and Jordie were all there watching it.


Alan and Jordie

Alan Moulder and Jordie White were here with Trent?

[slave2thewage]

I never thought I'd say it, but I'm sick of Trent doing instrumentals now.

[richardp]

I never thought I'd say it, but I'm sick of Trent doing instrumentals now.

No way. I love his score work so much, that I probably would be fine if he never made another NIN album. Dragon Tattoo soundtrack trumps The Social Networks' score in every way, and I loved that soundtrack. This is Trent's new calling, and I am completely on board.

[witte]

Well, I would say it in another way.
After 2 soundtracks he has to give this a very long break.
Concentrating on HTDA and NIN for the next years should be a priority.
Normally musicians with a past in a band who only do soundtracks are done and out....

[Canuckle]

I never thought I'd say it, but I'm sick of Trent doing instrumentals now.

I'm with ya. While I'm not 'sick' per se, as I find the instrumental stuff very well done, I am looking forward to some potential vocals and more of a classic song structure.

I can only go for so many lonely walks in the snow....

[punish7]

Alan Moulder and Jordie White were here with Trent?

Yes. They all showed up at the same time as a big group.

[eversonpoe]

yes. i still don't get it.

He's in the film, wearing that gear. It's a set photo, nothing more

to be frank when I've heard that Fincher is thinking of doing other parts of Millenium thrilogy if TGWTDT is a success I shuddered.

He doesn't have to do anything.

The worst thing that he could do at this point in his career is do something out of a feeling of obligation. If he is drained artistically in a certain area (as he was apparently with NIN a couple of years ago) he should just let it be. As long as he enjoys doing the scores, finds them creatively fulfilling, and is happy with the result, then why should he rush back to Nine Inch Nails?

I'm hopeful that a new NIN album is will arrive within the next couple of years, but I'd be fine with another soundtrack release. Especially if it involves one of my favorite directors' films.

Hey, don't get me wrong.
I love Trent's work and he's a very important musician in my life.
I hope he still will do soundtracks in the future, but I really hope it won't be his main task for the future. That's what I meant to say.
I'm really happy he formed HTDA (and creating a new sound in his career) and I really hope he will do still new NIN stuff in the future.
For me Trent is the modern composer just like all classic composers we had and just like Zappa who died too early.
Amen...

Well just keep in mind that Trent stated he'd be writing next year with NIN specifically in mind. And he was clearly doubling up on projects this year, with GDT and HTDA. If Fincher pushes forward with re-interpreting the other two novels/films and wants Trent and Atticus on board for them, then I'm sure he can multitask and we'll see a new NIN album soon enough.

Some hard-to-please motherfuckers around here.

Oh hush. It's all said with loooovvvve.

-----------------------
To address what nine_inch_nerd said, I'm sure lots of us love the soundtracks and hope there are many more, but we also NIN too and want to have more of it too. We're not trying to be difficult by stating that.

Obviously TR should do what he wants to do. Whatever we say is just opinions and hopes.

[Magtig]

I never thought I'd say it, but I'm sick of Trent doing instrumentals now.
After listening to this album just one time, I am no longer able to feel moments of quiet tension.

[joplinpicasso]

"Parallel Timeline With Alternate Outcome" is one of the best songs TR's ever worked on, period. Props to them for crafting this one.

And "Infiltrator" has recently clicked with me, and it's great.

I was thinking today: if TR had done these scores under the name NIN, people would not ask for more NIN but for more "old NIN."

He's right, we are hard to please. :D

[marodi]

Some hard-to-please motherfuckers around here.

Welcome to ETS boss!

As for myself, I'm just happy to get something. I still remember when we had to wait YEARS before hearing something new.

On topic: I finally got a chance to listen to the full soundtrack and I like it. I can't wait to see how it will integrate in the movie. I especially love the HTDA cover; it's very well done.


I was thinking today: if TR had done these scores under the name NIN, people would not ask for more NIN but for more "old NIN."

Amen, sister!

[screwdriver]

I'm going to agree and ... agree. I freaking love this soundtrack, the more I listen to it even moreso. For me, this easily trumps everything TR's done since With Teeth, except possibly The Slip. I think its everything I ever hoped an instrumental TR soundtrack would be.

And yet... its time for some pop songs, brosef.

[imail724]

Parallel Timeline With Alternate Outcome... Complication With Optimistic Outcome... :confused:... ARG!

[joplinpicasso]

Ha ha, why didn't I see that connection :eek:

[BRoswell]

I'd love to see Trent become the Danny Elfman of this generation. As much as I love Nine Inch Nails, I can honestly say that I wouldn't mind if he did film scores for the rest of his life.

[True Fallacy]

And, mission accomplished. I made some iPhone ringtones for a few of my favs from The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo. :)

[gorast]

I like the video for Immigrant Song more and more each time I watch it.

Though this isn't really GDT related, there's no random NIN comments topic yet, so I might as well mention it here: did anyone else notice that nullco's Youtube account has apparently existed since May 2007, six months before Trent even left Interscope?

Uh, uh, on topic...What If We Could? is still my favorite non-cover song on the soundtrack. There.

[richardp]

The Same As The Others through Parallel Timeline is my favorite sequence on the album. Beautifully haunting little section there.

[AgentofChaos]

To be completely honest, I would absolutely be ok if TR pretty much did ONLY soundtrack work from here on out, with an occasional HTDA record here or there. I'm way down for more NIN obviously but this seems like a natural progression to me,

I think it's incredibly exciting to think about him branching out to work with directors other than Fincher. Tom Tykwer, Gregg Araki, Terry Gilliam, Rian Johnson, Duncan Jones, Aronofsky, J.J Abrams, Quentin Tarantino or even Christopher Nolan are all mindblowing possibilities that would challege TR to go reach new levels of sonic awesomeness. Nevermind thinking about possible colabs with other composers such as Zimmer or even former colleague Clint Mansell, similar to how Zimmer and Howard worked on the TDK soundtrack, etc.

As much as I loved their work on The Social Network score, I thought it was a part of the film that served to make it better and consequently loved the film much more than the score. Nothing against the TGWTD film, but I think long term I'll find I reserve much more respect for this score than its film in this case (there was so much great work not even featured in the film in this case).

So ultimately for me, imagining how TR and AR could grow working with someone else other than Fincher is extremely exciting. Nothing against Fincher though, in fact, if they do end up doing the whole trilogy, I would be super stoked to hear their score for Hornet's Nest, as the nature of that film would lend itself to the exact type of thing TR and Atticus are great at (if you've heard the score for the Swedish version of HN you will likely understand what I mean in terms of its heavy use of glitch and drone).

Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross - The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo


Howard Shore - Hugo


John Williams - War Horse




So how's the competition looking? Anyone listen to any of these other scores?

[onthewall2983]

My guess is that T&A would win because the Globes are all about starfucking (no pun intended), and they still have the glow from winning the Oscar for ​TSN.

[spookymuffin]

Over at Dots & Dashes, I reviewed the soundtrack as the resident NIN-obsessive. I'd love it if you guys could read my review and tell me what you think?

http://www.dotsanddashes.co.uk/2011/12/what-comes-forth-in-thaw-trent-reznor.html

[peanoot3]

Yes! Them getting the award is a no-brainer. Though the other scores are great in their own fashion, Trent and Atticus bring something different to the plate each time. It doesn't consist of an orchestra playing bullshit showtunes. T+A's music defines an emotion whether it be dark and brooding, wondrous, or exciting. I give good luck to all the nominees, but I'm rooting for Trent and Atticus; not because I'm a fanboy or anything, but because the soundtrack is memorable and defines the vibe of the story.

[NIN64]

I've not listened to the first two scores/know nothing about them. I have however watched and heard Howard Shore's score for Hugo. I thought it was a great score for a great film, but nothing awards-worthy. And then i took a run-through of what John Williams did for War Horse, and thought it was a rather well-built yet slightly boring/usual orchestrated score. I just hope there isn't any biased bullshit about not wanting to give somebody an award twice in a row. You never know.

I do feel like there's much more breathing space this time. Remember who they were going against last year (Danny Elfman/Hans Zimmer/Alexandre Desplat)? And you could have EASILY argued a win for either of the three nominees. Well...easily if not for Rossnor.

[sheepdean]

John Williams hasn't done an original score in 17 years, why does he still get nominated? smh

[thevoid99]

And who is this Abel Korzeniowski? Why did he get nominated over someone like Alexandre Desplat or Cliff Martinez? Who did Madonna have to suck just to get this guy a nod and herself one over the Muppets? What an aging bitch!

I'm sure if he had a choice between spending time with his family, working in the studio, or meeting with the press to pimp his work, the press would stay at the absolute bottom of the list. But he's doing his part to promote his work and the movie, and that may include the occasional goofy photo. It's part of the biz, unfortunately.

I guess what I'm saying is, he's probably about as excited with how that photo came out as you were. :)

[dlb]

is anyone going to scan taht Hollywood Repoter article or is it an online magazine only? would be highly apprecaited I guess. ;)

[Alexandros]

I finally got around to listening all 39 tracks. Good stuff overall to be sure. About three quarters of what I heard I would consider background music, meaning I don't think I'll be actively re-listening those tracks, except if I'm commuting, working etc. The rest range from very good to great and I look forward to seeing how some of them will be incorporated in the film. The track that so far stands out the most to me is Great Bird of Prey. It's all kinds of kickass! Hypomania is also one of my favourites.

Sidenote: Trent's voice in Is Your Love Strong Enough reminds me of Peter Gabriel for some reason.

[signofthenine]

When I looked the other day, they had an option of ordering back issues, but since the one with him on the cover is the most recent, it's not available yet (or wasn't as of a day or two ago).

I might order a copy if they don't sell out.

[konstantin]

based on how many times the Immigrant Song video switched positions on the Pitchfork home page (including becoming a top story during the weekend, and then back and forth), i really wonder how much influence the studios have on them. this isn't just ads playing in ad space, it's deliberate promotion of the scale i haven't witnessed on that site.

[onthewall2983]

Trailers are everywhere on YouTube.

[princessomega]

I tried to contact the only book store left where I live the local Barnes and Noble re the Hollywood Reporter magazine. The lady on the phone was nice and went to check on it for me. They dont sell it there, but she kindly informed me they have many "hollywood" magazines with Twilight issues.
I laughed and told her I wasnt interested in Twilight, but that Trent was on the cover. She had a silent pause and then said. "Oh, Oh my..I'll have to be on the look out for that."
So if anyone does find where the magazine can be purchased besides ebay...let us know.

[signofthenine]

Hopefully it will show up here (shortly) as the December 23rd issue.

[piggy]

some interesting things in the liner notes:
-They also thank "David Byrnes" in there. I really hope that's a typo and they meant David Byrne
I know I'm really late with this, but no such luck. David Byrnes is one of Trent's lawyers.

[mostlymad]

Fantastic news. Good to see the recognition of something innovative and original within the mainstream limelight. Can't wait to see the movie, then buy the score. I really want to be surprised by the score within the movie. Then I'll listen to the whole catalog that didn't make it in.

[gorny540]

The soundtrack is so good, but I honestly don't know how to approach listening to it. I did one run that was for the most part straight through, but I just love to listen to albums straight through, its tough for me to break this one apart, really tremendous work though.

[GoodSoldier333]

Good stuff overall to be sure. About three quarters of what I heard I would consider background music, meaning I don't think I'll be actively re-listening those tracks

Pretty much my thoughts. Terrific score; more oriented to supporting picture, which is from where all the glowing, ambient, dark, extending sounds came from. It'll be exciting to finally watch the film to see the other half..that supporting framework that fits the music.

[Corey Bloom]

the only real competition T&R have is the score for The Artist because it has won most of the critics awards so far and the film itself is expected to win best picture

[Trains]

Likewise, I'm eager to see the film to see where everything slots into place. But on it's own the score is such a strong record, I haven't even made it to Disc 3 yet and I'm already completely absorbed by it. Very disturbing and aggressive in places, lots of tension, which I imagine will fit the film's vibe perfectly. I think the first 2-3 seconds of 'Please Take Your Hand Away' is the seediest, grimiest music I've ever heard. Fucking amazing stuff, the complete antitheses to Social Network. I prefer the more tuneful, melodic tracks, like 'I Can't Take It Anymore' which seems really quite different to Trent's previous output, and 'An Itch' (which is just fucking awesome.) 'Pinned and Mounted' sounds the most NIN-ish to me, which is probably why it's one of my favourites.

[GoodSoldier333]

Loved that Charlie Rose interview with the cast. However, I've realized how eager i am to listen to just the scoring aspect of the film from Fincher. Perhaps if the person or organization interviewing Fincher was of musical background, like rolling stone magazine or something/someone. I had no clue that Fincher has been trying to get Trent to score for 10 yrs now.

[sick among the pure]

7 hour bus trip through rural PA and NY, perfect time for me to finally give this soundtrack a listen through.

[witte]

From TR himself:

"Regarding that "for your consideration" sampler you've gotten your hands on. Those are made for various award groups that require having only original music composed specifically for and used in the film put on a disc. There's nothing in there you don't have longer and more listenable versions of with the official release. The titles refer to the cue lists that the editors, director and everyone else uses to refer to scenes."

So all those who are expecting something different from that, you're in for more of the same just shorter edits and less content.

I need to be cautious, especially to Trent, but I'm sure 'just shorter edits and less content' is a very modest answer. Some of these tracks are different mixed and have a different approach for sure.
And....they're absolutely the same tracks you'll hear in the movie.
E.g., I compared the track you can listen here around 29:15 (http://www.charlierose.com/view/interview/12037) with the FYC score and it's indeed the same track as on the FYC disk 2 named "Harriet's Flowers".

[sheepdean]

Trent continually forgets: "shorter edits" still means DIFFERENT edits, and so rabid desire for all the music.
Maybe next time TRAR do a score, they'll put the sampler in with the deluxe package?

[witte]

Well, Trent makes the music and Atticus does the mixing.
Maybe the first one didn't check the second one ;)

[sheepdean]

Composed, performed, arranged, programmed and produced by Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross
:P

[plusminus]

Didn't see this posted. I am sorry if it already has somewhere on ETS.

Trent did a audio interview with NPR Fresh Air.

http://www.npr.org/2011/12/19/143834396/trent-reznor-the-fresh-air-interview

[Alpha 60]

I’m a fan of Fresh Air, but this interview went where I thought it might. I was hoping it would stay on soundtrack topics, or what his future plans are. Only about 5 minutes were devoted to Dragon Tattoo. I know TR/NIN is probably not well known in the NPR universe, I understand she had to do a retrospective. But Terry was way too focused on what makes Trent “dark” or “angsty.” It is such a pedestrian question to ask someone what was going through their mind when they wrote a song. I would have been better to ask what his inspirations where at the time, or what NIN in general was trying to convey. I’ve been waiting like 15 years for Trent to be on Fresh Air, and it was pretty much a big disappointment.

[sheepdean]

Hey, they played HLAH, that makes it an awesome interview

[Jadezuki]

Oh, the Fresh Air interview! I was cringing most of the time and yelling at the computer - not due to ol' Rezmo, but the questions! It was blatantly obvious that he was there to talk about the scores, and not take a walk down memory lane, and I thought he got that across fairly gently... and then the next thing was "Ok, next we're going to go even further back in time, to the 80's." Good grief. Then I laughed at the not-so-gentle snarking later on. Can't say it wasn't deserved.

I hadn't really visited ETS or stayed on the up-and-up with much news from when the tour ended 'til maybe the Golden Globes. Proof that I'm a bad fangirl: references are made to TR being a father, and we look at each other and I say: "Really? When did that happen?"

Anyway, the bits of the interview that actually talked about the recent composition process were incredibly interesting. I'm assuming TR knows that if he ever wants to do a video or interview elsewhere going into depth on this subject, the audience is there.

[jessamineny]

Interesting promotion. "The Weinstein Company has announced plans to take The Artist on tour, but with a live orchestra, led by the film’s composer Ludovic Bource."

There is an advanced screening tomorrow evening, but my boyfriend said he'll go with me (he won't be home until the 23rd) and since we've never been on a movie date I really want to go with him. So, I'll wait a few days.

[ComaMJ33]

No Spoilers, just my general impression of The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo as a whole upon my first viewing:
All of my anticipation for the film came to fruition tonight when I was able to catch an advance (Barely, but best I could do in AZ) screening in Scottsdale, AZ. I was very impressed by the film in many ways. Of course the score was phenomenal, as we all have known since Dec. 9th, and the music really worked well within the film. Even having listened to the entire score many times before seeing the film, while highly recognizable, there was not a point in the film where I had more concentration on the music than the film as a whole. The film was visually stunning throughout and I was very caught up in the plot (I intended to read the novels before seeing the original adaptations upon their release in the U.S., but I put it off and once the Fincher/Reznor/Atticus collaboration was announced I made the decision to not read the novels or watch the original films. I opted instead to go into this film with as little knowledge as possible regarding the plot and I came away very happy with that decision. Now after seeing this again possibly Tuesday night and for sure on Wednesday I can go back and read the novels and watch the original adaptations of the trilogy.

Also, the theater had a stack of mini posters (at customer service, they didn't hand them out you had to ask), obviously not as cool or large as the ones from the mouth-taped-shut screenings last week, but nice to have as a keepsake none-the-less for us less fortunate cities that didn't get one of those screenings. So, possibly other theaters will have those upon the initial showings as well if anyone's interested.

[NotoriousTIMP]

My friend just sent me this photo last night after building up the print for his theater. :) I cant wait to see it later on this week :D He said its 9 reels long which is 2-3 reels longer than most films (notice how they have fun when labeling the films? lol) He's also going to send me two copies of the trailer on 35mm film now that its hit theaters

just got back from the movie, and i too, went into it blind. my buddy has seen the original and read the book(s). he said it was true to both. i have the swedish film and will try to watch it this week to confirm. the score fit perfectly as you said. no posters at my theater.

[jmtd]

I look forward to the movie and hearing the soundtrack in context. I have to admit, this one just hasn't worked for me, yet. I'll give it time (took me about 5 years to get TDS, depending on how you count), but TSN clicked more or less instantly, as has everything since TDS.

Didn't locate the "?". Still listening/researching.

The tracks on the FYC score refer to the tracks on the official soundtrack. They are not the same. They have another approach, different mix, and they are edited.
I 'm almost sure the FYC tracks are the same which are used in the movie. It's almost 90 minutes of music.
For me it's an album on its own.

[Vertigo]

No Oraculum throughout the entire film? Wow.
Thanks very much for all the work, by the way. Looks like I'll have to hop on ebay when more samplers are in circulation...

[Corey Bloom]

the original cut was over 3 hours long so im sure there will be a directors cut or extended version with some of the other music in it on DVD.

[ltrandazzo]

Make sure you're posting your impressions of the film over here so it doesn't turn into a big convoluted mess here - http://www.echoingthesound.org/community/threads/12-The-Girl-with-the-Dragon-Tattoo

[jhulud]

After seeing the movie yesterday, it's apparent how ridiculously prolific TR+AR are in the actual 3xCD soundtrack...so much more music they made for the film that didn't even end up in it. But as already mentioned, hopefully there's more in the original cut...and hopefully we will see that when it gets a DVD release.

But yeah, the music enhanced the visuals of the film.

[richardp]

hopefully there's more in the original cut...and hopefully we will see that when it gets a DVD release.

I doubt that will happen. Fincher doesn't really do "director's cuts" of his films. What you see in theaters is usually his final cut. Even in the case of the "director's cut" of Zodiak, it was only probably about 4 minutes longer.

[Vertigo]

Alien 3's "special edition" was a vast improvement on the film in my opinion, and added reams of new footage, but I don't think that was assembled by/with Fincher.

[richardp]

Alien 3's "special edition" was a vast improvement on the film in my opinion, and added reams of new footage, but I don't think that was assembled by/with Fincher.

It was the work print version of the film so I guess technically Fincher was involved with putting that cut together and, indeed, it was vastly better than the theatrical cut, but Fincher wanted nothing to do with that movie after Fox screwed him over, so therefor did not lend his blessing or help for the remastering of the Work Print edition. I believe even to this day he insists that Alien 3 stays off of his resume.

Is yours shipping via international post, by the way?

That's likely. Combined order equals combined shipping. However, if they're using different distribution channels for the deluxe and CD versions you might luck out.

Now that I've seen the movie, and about caught up on other 2011 music I missed, I think finally I'm ready to dive into this monster of a score. I listened to the 6-track sampler, and checked comesforthinthethaw every now and then, but at best, that's a third of the total music? My CD shipped (woo!), and miraculously I'm getting the deluxe edition for the holidays... well, "getting" might not be the best word. It's on its way :)

[richardp]

do you think if i ordered the deluxe and CD versions in the same order, they're not going to ship me the CD until february?

That's what they did for The Social Network last year. Those of us who bought the cd and or blu-ray with the vinyl had to wait until November, if I remember correctly, to get everything.

I guess the obvious answer is Trent. I'm asking because my friend refuses to believe that is the case (because he thinks it doesn't sound like him) and I couldn't find the credits to back it up. So the answer is Trent yes?

[Warped_Savant]

R Dot Yung -- The only other (real) option would be Atticus Ross. (It's not Atticus.)
There's three people in HTDA, the song doesn't list it as featuring anyone else, therefore, yes, it is Trent Reznor.

I understand what you mean, and I almost never watch dubbed movies myself at home (Though sometimes I do, it depends on the amount and the importance of the dialogue, and some other circumstances like whether I watch it alone or with someone). Theaters is the whole different case. You may have a couple of cinemas that show original versions with subs, I have none. This is obviously not preventing me from re-watching movies at home with whatever dub I want.

cd arrived yesterday and i am really trying to take it slow and listen to 1 disc at a time for awhile until it becomes familiar, there is just so much new material to delve into. those bubble mailer things from topsin dont really protect a digi pack from being crushed and getting big creases as a result, how have the other distr been?

I'm going to keep it in the car and play it there - it is kind of like delving into War and Peace or something - I want to take my time and enjoy the story so to speak.
The Immigrant Song sounds really good when you ARE going out at night into ice and snow as I was today - definitely a winter song

I posted this over at NIN.com but might get a better response here. I haven't seen any interviewer ask this question yet but has anyone wondered if/when the sequels are made if Trent and Atticus would be involved in making even more music? I know they made a TON for this film and could most likely recycle most of the music from Dragon Tattoo into the last two movies but for some reason Fincher, Trent, and Atticus don't seem to be the kind to just recycle material.

I worry the movie isn't going to recoup its cost, and the sequels won't be made. It didn't exactly do gangbusters here in the states last weekend, and overseas it looks worse.


Reaaaaaaaly hope I'm wrong.

[bobbie solo]

hopefully i will be slow burn type of movie, picking up steam as we get away from the holidays. i know that i havent had any time to see it before this coming week.

Here are a few things I noticed about the digipack: The Null catalog number is written at the top of the spine instead of the bottom. The printed copyright info on the three CDs is barely legible. The inside pocket has a scene printed on it.

Rob said he purposely made the copyright stuff as small as possible.

Thanks for pointing that out, oldschool. It's a nice package for a very reasonable $14. I'm wondering if I should have purchased the deluxe edition without seeing pictures of the final product. I thought it would sell out within two weeks.

[witte]

We're almost a month further and I've listened to this soundtrack more than 10 times, and I must say (I said it more often): the more you listen the more you discover; I'm proud and lucky to be part of this; to follow an artist like him this way; how he develops himself over the years; how he creates incredible (new) art in the form of music; he is varied, he stands for quality, he's thé (and my) modern composer of my generation.
I'm looking forward to his new project/album HTDA. I'm enjoying!

[M-71]

I have listened to this release a couple of times now and both times I was struggling to finish a disc. I'm not going to give up on it just yet, but I remember being more impressed with Ghosts and TSN soundtrack on their initial listens. Right now though, i'm thinking that TGWTDT is two discs too long.
Early days though.

[burninglard]

Finally bought the album yesterday at a nice independent record store. I am digging what I have heard. 2 more discs to go. I think as a score in it self it is better than TSN.

[dtuck90]

just got an email saying mine has been dispatched (i'm in UK). Hopefully it will come before I go back to uni on Saturday

Mine is now shipped as well. It seems that they got another shipment which hopefully covers all of the orders.

the movie is amazing. I smell another Oscar for our guys.

TGWPWF confirmed, so TRAR might be back at work soon.

[acidpolly]

hah. good news overall but maybe they can use leftovers from soundtracks of TGWTDT? and we can get a new NIN album? please?

While I'm enjoying the DT score, I'd love to see something in the vein of Still (IE less clang-clang, and slightly more melodic).

But let's be honest - if you're reading this board, no matter what it is, we'll be buying it. :)

[dtuck90]

mine has just arrived in the UK. Nice little package

[M-71]

I just took my copy back and got a refund, my local record shop is good that way. It was a nice package and all, but not for me. Ripped it to my computer and next time I do the hoovering i'll stick it on.

Okay, that's fucking annoying. You bought it, decided you didn't like it so you kept it anyway and got the refund?

Annoying?
No I did not keep it, I had to take it back to get a refund, that's how these things work. I kept a digital copy on my pc though.

this kills the music business. FAIL.

Exactly, you kept it. You bought it, ripped the tracks and got a refund, getting the whole album for free. This is the exact kind of thing that proves that music piracy is still full of wankers, and there is no gain to the artist if they're already well known.

[M-71]

And now the news.
Today somewhere in lalaland the music business was killed due to someone in the UK returning a 3cd set by soundtrack pranksters Trent Reznor & the other one. It was about 100 years old.
A full investigation will follow.

Then i'm off for a well deserved wank.

[AgentofChaos]

M71 I don't think you're an idiot for not 'paying' for the album. I've stolen plenty online. Most of us have. I wouldn't steal this particular record but that's just me, so I'm sure other people on other bands boards would rip me a new one. Granted I wouldn't waste my time to post on a board if I wasn't into an artist enough to buy their music, but that's another argument altogether.

Here is why you're a fucking idiot; You went out to the store, bought an item, wasted your time to open it, rip it, then waste more time and money to go back to the store, stand in line, get a refund, explain yourself, etc all when you could have made 2-3 clicks and saved yourself the trouble on pirate bay. How in the world you thought you were going to open it up and be so amazed by the contents inside, outside of what you already knew or has been made available to you, is beyond me. Seems like you have some mental health issues to come here and post that you were stupid enough to do this, or at the least a LOT of free time and absolutely nothing constructive to do with it. I truly feel sorry for you sir. Enjoy your masturbation.

[BenAkenobi]

heh, if i didn't want to keep these CDs, i would've offered them on forums (for original price). perhaps buying CDs second-hand doesn't help the industry so much, but i would feel better going to post-office instead of going back to the shop.

Let me reply to your baseless assumptions the best I can.
1) I did not go out to the store and buy any item, it was a gift from a family member.
2) I wasted my time opening it and ripping it? Do you know how long it takes to open up a cd package and insert a disc in a computer and click "rip now?" I'll tell you, not very long at all, hardly a waste of time.
3) I did not waste any time and money going back to the store, I live less than a mile from their front door, there was no queue, and the explanation and refund took less than 5 mins, again, not exactly a waste of time.
4) I did not bother to download the free preview on nin.com so my expectations outside of hearing the Immigrant song track were zero. Like I said, this thing was a gift.
5) Yes I do have mental health issues, at times quite severe, I have had so for several years, and yes I did have a LOT of free time that day as I am currently on a two week break from my job.
6) I do not need you to feel sorry for me.
7) I did enjoy my masturbation, very much so.

And finally, there is and was no need whatsoever to call me a fucking idiot.

Good day.

Hey Mr Johnny Rotten and others, please can we stop this shit and discuss matters where this topic was meant for? :)

meanwhile some wankers at nin.com continue their game, now with the Dragon Tattoo soundtrack

2.) If you rip a CD accurately it takes quite a while, as a matter of fact; unless you think you can get an accurate rip at 32x or even 8x? The faster the disc spins the more jitter blahblahblah, I don't even know why I'm on this tangent

3.) 5 minutes may not seem like a "waste of time" in the grand scheme of things, but YOU STILL WASTED 5 MINUTES!

Q.) People that do this kind of shit are worse than people that wear clothes for a night and take them back (ladies! heh)

ZZAQ.) I'm sure you're not an idiot by definition, but you did something pretty idiotic

Your awesome, thanks.

[ThinkIcouldburn]

Got a fantastic e-mail letting me know my cd will be shipping on January 16th. I pre-ordered this album. I'm beginning to fucking hate topspin.

[sheepdean]

As I've said on nin.com:
Topspin are a GREAT company, really brilliant, for small artists. It seems to me that TRAR have made the assumption that just because they're unsigned, they're small, and chose a company that simply cannot handle the demand that NIN fans have. A+R, Popmarket and similar could do this, although they tend to solely do deluxe packages, but really they need to create their own distribution network due to their size, or find a company internationally that can lighten the load who aren't incompetent buffoons like Mute.

[ThinkIcouldburn]

I understand. Though I've had issues with Topspin before even with much smaller bands. It's left me with little to no faith in the company. I was told they were waiting for a shipment about a week ago. I assumed I'd be seeing it ship any day now, not in another week and a half.

i got the same e-mail, but i assumed that it was because i had ordered the CD at the same time as the DE Vinyl Box Set. so i was happy to see it was shipping the 16th, as opposed to whenever in February the vinyl is supposed to ship.

Cyberpunks... I like that

[Maurish]

After seeing the movie, I feel the soundtrack has more depth to it and I really like it. They seem to enhance each other - the soundtrack added a lot to the movie and vice-versa. It's amazing!

Yeah, I saw the movie last night, and the score really works amazing with the movie. I couldn't listen to the score on it's own before I saw the movie, I tried so hard to sit down and listen to it a few times, But I just couldn't get into it for some reason, but after seeing the movie, I think you need the visuals to go along with the music, it was absolutly phenomonal seeing the audio and visual go together. I still can't listen to the score by itself, I tried again last night after watching the movie, assuming I would like it more after seeing the movie, but I can't get through the whole thing. I can listen to like 10 tracks and then I just have to put something else on... Maybe it's just too long, 3 hours is alot of "soundtrack" music for someone to get through. But, it works amazing with the film, and that's really the best compliment a score can get!
