Favorite track(s) from the Web of Shadows score?
Tyrion Archer posted a topic in Bionicle Discussion
The trilogy is complete. After 14, 13, and 12 years respectively, we finally have all three Bionicle film soundtracks available as full-length score albums. 'Tis a glorious day indeed. While Legends of Metru Nui is still my favorite of the three, the Web of Shadows score is absolutely astonishing and is my very close second-favorite. It not only evolves the themes from the first two films beautifully, but also expands on the darker elements of those scores to perfectly accommodate this movie's darker tone. Unlike LoMN, I'm not quite able to narrow down which singular track I love the most. I can, however, narrow it down to three: "Web of Shadows" - Epic and menacing introduction. "The Falling Tears" - I love how the Toa's motif from the second film evolves into a fuller theme in this film. This is definitely my favorite rendition of it in this movie. "Off to Mata Nui" - A perfect way to close the trilogy. The final evolution of the main theme from the first two films makes me want to cry every time. Additional major highlights: "Sidorak and Roodaka" "Flying Escape" "The Great Temple" "Strength Comes From Unity" As usual, feel free to share which track or set of tracks is your favorite once you've gotten a chance to listen to the album one or two times.- 1 reply

I never thought I’d see the day. An actual, official soundtrack release for Bionicle 2: Legends of Metru Nui. This album is everything I’ve ever wanted. One of the best and most underappreciated film scores of all time is finally accessible as a stand-alone product, and sounds better than ever in its remastered glory. Easily my favorite music album of the year (and this year’s had some pretty great music). I realize that not everyone has gotten around to listening to it yet, but to those of you who have and feel like sharing: Do you have a favorite track or favorite set of tracks from the score? If so, what are they? If you remember some of my posts from a few years ago (back when my username was IAmGroot) you may already know what my favorite track is. It is, of course, “Island of Mata Nui”. I believe this to be one of the most beautiful and epic pieces of film music ever. The whole ending scene is honestly one of my favorite moments in cinematic history primarily because of the score. It’s been one of my most-desired pieces of music from the Bionicle films for years, and here it finally is along with the rest of this amazing soundtrack. But I would be remiss if I didn’t make a few other honorable mentions: “Legends of Metru Nui / Toa Stones” “Faithful Matoran to Mighty Toa” (This track is just…wow) “Follow the Light / Mask of Time” “Lhikan’s Death / Vakama’s Power Found” (So many feels) “Lhikan’s Theme Sketch” (I’m sure we all remember letting the menu loop play over and over again just to listen to this gorgeous little piece) The unused “Kikeinalo” theme is also a fun one. It'll be interesting to hear Nathan Furst's unused Roodaka sketch when Web of Shadows comes out. Feel free to respond with your favorite track or set of tracks. I’m interested to know which particular tracks you were most eager to listen to before they were released and which you enjoy listening to the most now. As a side note, I was slightly jarred when I realized that this release isn’t quite the complete score like the Mask of Light release was. Ultimately, however, I don’t mind too much because all the stuff I really wanted to hear (and more) is included, and there’s not much else missing that can’t be uploaded for streaming (or, preferably, released as an extended play). As far as I know, this is all of the omitted music (excluding whatever else Furst composed that was cut from the film): - The Great Disks montage (everything after Vakama's second vision and before the Coliseum scene) - Escape from Le-Metru and journey to Po-Metru (everything after the Toa evade the Dark Hunters by jumping into the chute and before their arrival in Po-Metru) - Escaping with the Matoran (everything from when they retrieve Matoran capsules to when Matau drives into the water) - A fairly brief section seems to have been cut from "Heart of Metru Nui", unless it just wasn't intended as part of the original track and was edited in for the film. It includes the part where they break into the Coliseum in their vehicle (I forget the name of it) as well as the Toa's exchanges of banter during the drive. - This is really nitpicky, but there’s also a brief choir from the opening theme that plays when Lhikan engraves the three virtues symbol into the Toa stone. Admittedly though, I prefer the bit of music that takes its place on the OST version as it makes the track seem a bit more whole.

Some of you may have notices, but Nathan Furst just posted about the soundtracks for Legends of Metru Nui and Web of Shadows on his Facebook page. For the link-averse, this is what he said: "An update regarding future #Bioniclesoundtracks is coming soon! #LOMN #WOS" Of course that 'update' could be that they're never coming, but I highly doubt that would be the case. It was great seeing the fantastic music of MoL getting a proper release recently, and based on that many of us hoped the other two films would get the same treatment.

I figured I'd start this topic just for funsies. Anyway, now that Nathan Furst's wonderful Bionicle: Mask of Light soundtrack has been out for a couple of weeks and many fans (including me) have most likely listened to that masterpiece several times over by now, I'm curious to know what everyone's favorite track (or list of favorite tracks) on the album is. Personally, I think all 18 tracks are amazing and it's hard to narrow down which ones I like best. Since I can't quite decide on a definitive favorite, here's my top 3: Unity, Duty, Destiny Toa Reunited and Death of Jaller Legend of the Bionicle A few additional tracks that are major highlights for me: A Great Kanohi Mask Koli Tournament Toa Lewa Helps Destruction of Onu-Koro (I get chills every time I hear that guitar mixed in with the orchestra in the scene where Tahu is being possessed) A Simple Game of Koli So...do you have a favorite track or a list of favorites? If so, feel free to share them. If you want to rank the entire album that would also be cool.

Hey everyone, I started a petition on Change.org to get Miramax, The LEGO Group, and Buena Vista to release the complete scores from all three BIONICLE movies. If you've waited all these years to hear Nathan Furst's amazing music from the films on its own without any sound effects or dialogue like I have, now there's something you can do to try and make that happen! Please, if you like the music of the BIONICLE movies and want to see it released, please consider signing this petition and sharing it as much as possible. Follow the link to sign the petition: https://www.change.org/p/buena-vista-home-entertainment-the-lego-group-miramax-release-the-complete-scores-from-all-three-bionicle-movies-on-cd-and-or-itunes Thanks.
