Hard Target Oscar® Winner	Hey guys, Varese's website was finally updated LOL and there's a bunch of surprising new releases that we should take note of: PAY IT FOWARD Original Motion Picture Score By Thomas Newman for the Warner Bros. film starring Kevin Spacey, Helen Hunt and Haley Joel Osment.

Jeron Oscar® Winner	I agree! They all look pretty decent. I'm looking forward to Ottman's cd... and then Rabin's score for "The Sixth Day." Yeah, yeah everyone... shush! I know what you're thinking. :P I'll even probably end up buying the Star Trek disc... just because I'm a Trek nut and can't resist the temptation to have yet another compilation of scores I already own.

H Rocco Oscar® Winner	But still no mention of Chris Young's WONDER BOYS? (Or is that out and I overlooked it?)

Wedge Oscar® Winner	Hey! If it's a NEW recording of Star Trek movie material, what's to stop them from filling the disc with great unreleased music? I'd buy it in a Klingon minute! 1) "Meet Vejur" from TMP 2) "Genesis Cave" from Khan 3) "Attacking the Reliant" from Khan 4) "Death of the Enterprise" from Spock 5) "Leaving Vulcan" from Voyage Home 6) "A Tall Ship" from Final Frontier 7) "Guess Who's Coming ..." from Undiscovered Country 8) "The Trial" from Undiscovered Country 9) "Flight of the Phoenix" from First Contact 10) "A Few Loose Ends" from Insurrection 11) "The Launch Sequence" (film version) from Insurrection 12) Suite from "Q, Who" from TNG 13) Suite from "What You Leave Behind" from DS9 14) Suite from "Scorpion" from VGR Those are only a FEW of the great unreleased cues that they could use! But I think I'm being overly optimistic. Sadly, it's probably just a re-hash of main/end title suites, with maybe one or two standout cues like "The Enterprise" or "Hospital Chase" that we ALREADY HAVE ON FIVE CDS!!! sigh (When I checked, it gave October 24 as the release date for this one.)

Timmer Oscar® Winner	Well, I'd be a happy bunny if YOU were in charge of producing this CD Wedge! I agree with every selection you mentioned. Hey Wedge, you never did tell us what you got up to in London? NP : First Knight - ??????????
posted 09-30-2000 09:18 AM PT (US)

Wedge Oscar® Winner	Wedge: record producer. I like the sound of that. As for London, I did the usual tourist stuff. I DID buy four Goldsmith soundtracks I'd been waiting to buy, though: "Papillon," "Poltergeist" and "Islands in the Stream" on CD and an old LP of "The Swarm." I also saw "Les Miserables" and was shocked to find that it included significantly more music than the American show! Anyone know where I can find the current London version on CD?

Hard Target Oscar® Winner	I'm in total agreement Rocco, where is WONDERBOYS? It's not on their website I think they're either delaying it again or they've unfortunetly cancelled it. I'd be willing to bet that there will be a promo of the score released soon. Damn, shame because I'd love to hear this score. The Star Trek CD looks good so far but what I'm worried bout is the performance of the orchestra that's all. But I'd like to have the cd for the unreleased material though. As far as the rest of the year goes, I'd expect a few more surprises up their sleeves look for these scores: Proof of Life (Danny Elfman) Red Planet (Graeme Revell) Family Man (Danny Elfman) The Vertical Limit (James Newton Howard) and lord knows what else ehheehe possibly even Wonderboys finally!!!

Darth Fart Oscar® Winner	Rambo reissue out now from Varese?

jonathan_little Oscar® Winner	AFAIK, Intrada still has some copies of their First Blood release for sale at their website for $14... Amazon has the Varese version for sale, $15. [Message edited by jonathan_little on 09-30-2000]

Hard Target Oscar® Winner	I got the First Blood reissue the other day and I'll tell you what it's beyond what I expected. Terrific artwork kudos to Varese for going after the original poster for the cover and nice to see that they stuck with the Intrada version of the cover for the back with is nice. Informative liner notes by Robert Townson, but it would've been nice to also include some of Douglass Fake's own liner notes regarding the extra music and everything. And the sound is definetly improved since the original had slight hiss. But it's a five star pick-up definetly worth getting.

H Rocco Oscar® Winner	Anybody who doesn't have the original FIRST BLOOD absolutely MUST get it. It's a masterpiece of film scoring, a sensational album, and it's one of my own three favorite Goldsmith scores (following PAPILLON and STAR TREK - TMP). I'm proud to have the composer's own autograph on the booklet of my Intrada copy. I love this score so much that I'm halfway tempted to buy the Varese issue just to have it ... and I almost never buy something "just to have it." NP: THE THIN RED LINE

Obi Jok Kenobi Oscar® Winner	<rant> I wish CD companies would get their spellings right for stuff! It's V'GER NOT VEJUR! That really spoilt the 20th anniversary edition for Star Trek The Motion Picture... <end rant>
posted 10-02-2000 08:30 PM PT (US)

H Rocco Oscar® Winner	I think the problem is that Gene Roddenberry favored the "Vejur" spelling, at least as expressed by his novelization. If he came up with the name originally (the story is credited to Alan Dean Foster, but the outline came from Roddenberry), that might account for it. I've never read the Harold Livingston screenplay, but Marv Wolfman's comic book adaptation of it also favors the spelling "V'ger," so presumably Livingston changed it (possibly just to tweak Roddenberry, whom he professionally despised, although "V'ger" is the only LOGICAL spelling, considering what we find out about it ...) So why did Goldsmith and/or the record company spell it "Vejur"? You got me, but there is a precedent.

Aaron R. Brown Oscar® Winner	I heard a rumour that Varese was going to re-release an expanded version of Total Recall. I so hope that this rumour is true. I love that score and movie!
posted 10-08-2000 04:15 PM PT (US)

Wedge Oscar® Winner	The spelling is "Vejur" so people will keep thinking it's an alien name and not guess the surprise ending. It's that simple.

Ford A. Thaxton Oscar® Winner	VARESE will be releasing a expanded version of TOTAL RECALL,that's a call hard fact. As to how much longer and the exact date I can't say. However I think they're trying to get it out the door before the end of the year.

Jeron Oscar® Winner	Wow, now THIS is something to be excited about! An expanded edition of Total Recall - and it's an official, legitimatized release! How awesome is that! All you guys who own the boot, you'd better dish out the cash for this. Kyp- Pay It Forward? Bah.... TOTAL RECALL! TOTAL RECALL! TOTAL RECALL! Excellent.......... Jeron

Crono/Kyp Oscar® Winner	So, just because you don't like Thomas Newman, and I have issues with Goldsmith dosen't mean that you have ti give me a "blah." I might pick up the Total Recall EXP. But I will be getting Pay It forward. --Kyp Writer/AVID Editor NP: The Lost World: John Williams [Message edited by Crono/Kyp on 10-29-2000]

Mark Olivarez Oscar® Winner	Glad I didn't get the boot of Total Recall. Can't wait to get that one.

ActionGuy Oscar® Winner	TOTAL RECALL!!! HECK YEAH! I cant wait to pick this one up, I'm now glad I havent picked the boot up either. Rich D. NP - The Peacemaker - some guy named zimmer

Jeron Oscar® Winner	Oh Kyp, you take me too seriously. Get Pay It Forward, I'm sure you'll enjoy it. I just know I don't want it if it sounds like another American Beauty or Erin Brockovich. But I'll see the film and see how it works... if it interests me, I'll pick it up. On the other hand, Total Recall has proven itself time and time again to be a must-have action score from one of the industry's most prominent and successful composers of our time. Jeron

Darth Fart Oscar® Winner	How much music is missing from the Total Recall OST?
posted 10-09-2000 12:08 AM PT (US)

Shaun Rutherford Oscar® Winner	About 35-40 minutes. Shaun

Aaron R. Brown Oscar® Winner	I liked the cue when Quaid walks up to Rekall and into the building. It is one of the cues where the "Total Recall" theme is played very slowly. I think it sounds a little ambiant. It is not on the original cd. The original cd lasts only 40:40 minutes. The music is playing almost constantly through the film. [Message edited by Aaron R.

André Lux Oscar® Winner	Ops Aaron... I think the cue you mentioned IS on the old Varese album. Isn't it cue number 6, "FIRST MEETING"? I'm quite sure it's the cue for the scene when Quaid enters the Rekall building and the secretary is "painting" her fingernails... Am I right?

jonathan_little Oscar® Winner	I didn't know the word "expanded" was in Varese's vocabulary. Anyway, this is great news. [Message edited by jonathan_little on 10-09-2000]

Aaron R. Brown Oscar® Winner	André, I think you are right! However I don't think that the cue where Quaid is picking his vaction is on the disc. That cue, along with previous music is what I was thinking. [Message edited by Aaron R. Brown on 10-09-2000]
