Author	Topic: Kaper's Mutiny on the Bounty score

John C Winfrey Oscar® Winner	Here you go: a super easy question Kaper's great score for the kind of poor Brando version had how many different versions released on LP(MGM)? Don't count all the reissues. I am talking about the music itself. Which cues were different? Describe the differences. John.

John C Winfrey Oscar® Winner	At least two versions were released. The final cue is in two forms: one is mostly choral, the other is a tremendous orchestral cue ending with a very powerful version of the theme. The second version is quite good. Best, John.

Dinko Oscar® Winner	Does it matter? Now that there's apparently a double CD version coming in 2002? (old topic, sorry) From TraxZone's upcoming CD listings: http://www.traxzone.com/content/index.asp?section=news&num=1070 There's apparently a 2 CD planned from Rhino.

Jeron Oscar® Winner	Wasn't there a remake of this film called "The Bounty" starring Anthony Hopkins and Alec Baldwin? Or something of the like? Who did the music for that?

Dinko Oscar® Winner	El Vangelis Keyboardo did the score for The Bounty, ca. 1984. http://us.imdb.com/Title?0086993

Jeron Oscar® Winner	Ah, it was Mel Gibson, not Alec Baldwin! Was the Vangelis score any good?

Dinko Oscar® Winner	I recall liking it. But that's all I can tell you about it. Don't remember enough of it.

Dana Wilcox Oscar® Winner	I am the unfortunate owner of the 2-disc boot of Vangelis' so-called score to THE BOUNTY. The producers were all smoking mescaline-laced dope when they chose Vangelis and his electro-calliope to do the score for a historical film, and a few listens to the music will convince you that he shared a toke or two during the composition process. It is hideously bad, nerve-jangling, distracting and surrealistically inappropriate. Otherwise, it's just swell! And yes, I would consider a reasonable offer on it.

JJH Oscar® Winner	screw Vangelis. Thou shalt eagerly anticipate the 2CD release of Kaper's massively excellent score. or thou shalt be damn-ed. or words to that effect

Lou Goldberg Oscar® Winner	Great news about a more complete Mutiny score on Rhino---This is a really great score. Likewise great news about a 2 CD King of Kings. That list also includes some more Universal Jazz Cds by Magne, Sarde, and Legrand. This last entitled New Wave may include music from Band of Outsiders and A Woman Is A Woman and if so, it's a treasure!
