I finally caved in and thought I'd pop over to this board, since the FSM board is a bit slow sometimes.

So technically...I'm new so play nice!

Anyway, I posted this there, but since no one will respond I thought I'd ask here...

I have a question for everyone here about this score....
Got the 27(!??!)Varese CD - actually about 24 minus the song(shudders).
I hear there is a 80-90 min boot out there, but never see anyone make mention of this score.

So is the boot worth getting?
Or is the best stuff on Varese and the boot just another hour of droning suspense(which I would find hard to believe being Basil!).

And if there is some kind sould out there who has track times and titles...post 'em up!

I know I'll never see the movie....who has time for this stuff, I still need to rent SWITCHBACK!

NP:Under Siege 2(BP) This IS like music for a Marine training video!

All the best,
Sean

Memo To Composers:Stop writing so damn much music for these things!
Does 90mins of score REALLY help US2 that much?

Ok...I'm just bitter about not having more

Them's the breaks!

Tanks Lou....it's funny that I was thinking on the way to work today maybe we should have one giant ass board/email list for EVERYONE!

Its hard to keep track of all these boards...and then there's FILMUS-L....

Thanks Bulba for the cue titles....Im just dying over here, drooling over all those unreleased action cues!!!

NP:Shattered(Silvestri)

Seems like quite some time ago, but I'm still glad I came....have met many good friends through this board

Anyway, I've been playing this one again all day(many thanks to John Dunham!) and something has been bugging me about this.

The boot adds an amazing 54mins. to the Varese album. But which cue on the boot(or more likely cues)make up The Gates of Hell/Penn's Wish 8:53 on the Varese? I just can't figure the math on which ones it would be!

Any ideas?

NP:Take a guess...

Talk about irony,eh?

Well, to be honest the Varese is probably the better listen...tighter,to the point, and the absolute best cues are there. If you want almost 80mins. of the aforementioned percussion, then this is it. It's very tiring, that boot.

The only real loss, for me, is that the Varese missed the :54 Train Departure. Awesome rush of brass emulating the train...it's my fave addition. Guess it depends on how much non stop action you want I guess!

On Deadly Ground is a softer album, only because Poledouris felt that side of his writing was underepresented on album. There is still a good 40mins. of action material missing, but I think the Varese plays quite nicely.

Just got a ton of Poledouris' lately...

Switchback(awesome, but an album you have to really pay attention to)
Amerika(VERY dramatic, but excellent...no action here, just solid drama)
Cherry 2000(a friggin masterpiece!)
Iron Eagle/Return to the Blue Lagoon(solid,but bad sound)
Flight of the Intruder(Starship Troopers Jr., a major find)
Starship Troopers Compl.(the REAL deal is still on the way, but it's so nice to hear "Carmen's Shuttle Ride")

Great stuff, a shame more of those aren't official releases

NP:Men Don't Leave(Newman) Another shame...this should have been issued, but instead it's another naked boot

Actually Timmer, I dug this post, my first on this board, out of the archives instead of just starting another to ask about this Under Siege 2 cue.
