Not the music, but the track titles.Why is track 2 titled "Furniture" when it's the music from the airfield pursuit and Travolta (as Cage)'s escape from the prison?
Why is track 8 titled "Ready For The Big Ride, Bubba" when it's the soft cue that underscores Travolta's return home at the end of the film? (By the way, 'bubba' should actually be 'baby', as that's what Cage says in the hanger).
Come on. I can't be the only one who's curious.

While I am not exactly sure, I think some of the titles refer to certain things in Media Ventures. For instance, the track "Hans Loft" refers not only to the loft in Castor Troy's apartment in the movie but also Hans Zimmer's studio which apparently is a loft. I am not sure about some of the others. They are very interesing. Probably composer inside jokes.

Actually, now that I think about it, the track "Hans Loft" doesn't take place during the apartment shootout, but rather near the end right before the boat chase. I do however think the track refers to Hans Zimmer's loft.

The story with the Hans' Loft actually refers to John Powell who actually wrote that cue in Hans Zimmer's loft one day. And as Powell, one said in an interview he actually doesn't know what's on the soundtrack album since it was rushed into production after the movie was released in 1997. Does anyone have the expanded version of this score. I'd love to have it.P.O.
