Author	Topic: The Omen! Final Conflict! Expanded!

Mark Oscar® Winner	These Goldsmith scores are listed in the new release section here at MovieMusic.com THIS IS EXCELLENT NEWS! Varese should have more info, but it's too late and I am tired. Wooohooooo!

Marian Schedenig Oscar® Winner	Is this a joke? Peter, are you serious!? Varese don't seem to have any info on this on their website... but then again, their news section still has breaking news like "Jerry Goldsmith and Paul Verhoeven re-team for the third time on the director's latest film HOLLOW MAN"... Anyway, if this is true...could it be that Final Conflict will be finally available with good, remastered sound??

Marian Schedenig Oscar® Winner	Correction: FSM has a statement by Mr. Townson saying that indeed both titles are coming out. For Final Conflict, it says: "REMASTERED FOR DRAMATICALLY IMPROVED SOUND!". Something that is NOT included in the part about the first Omen score, so it looks like the new release will REALLY sound good!! COOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL!

Timmer Oscar® Winner	I don't care about THE OMEN, I played this to death years ago! But as for FINAL CONFLICT, well it's about time, I'm sure that when I get this it too will be played to death! Good news eh Marian

Wedge Oscar® Winner	One word: YESSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! In the space of one year, Total Recall, Aliens, now this ... Varese's "Deluxe Editions" is the best thing to hit soundtrack releases in decades!

SBD Oscar® Winner	"The Final Conflict" expanded? Freakin' A! I just want the soundtrack, regardless of length. Am I the only one who heard the "Main Title" of this film in the main titles of "The Vanishing?

Pete M Oscar® Winner	Yess!!! Come on!!! This is excellently brilliant news. Me is now a very happy person to be soon. Hooray!! Incidentally, who currently has the rights to Damien? It'd be great to get a complete release of that too... [Message edited by Pete M on 08-17-2001]

wistiti Oscar® Winner	I'll get banned for this one... I don't really care. The Omen is one of Goldsmith's scores I like least. In fact, I don't like it at all. As for Final Conflict, never heard it. What's it like?

Marian Schedenig Oscar® Winner	quote: Originally posted by wistiti: As for Final Conflict, never heard it. What's it like? Could very well be his best score ever, at least one of his best without a doubt. The original release has extremely poor quality, so while I can't remember much music missing on the CD, I'm very excited about the remastered release. It's not very similar to The Omen (though that's one of his best, too). And I don't believe in playing a work to death. There are many CDs I don't play too often anymore, but every once in a while I still like to listen to them. NP: Urban Legend (Christopher Young) - Thanks, Sean!

Pete M Oscar® Winner	quote: Originally posted by wistiti: As for Final Conflict, never heard it. What's it like? Marian's on the ball here... It's big, grand stuff. Much more variety than the original score. Wonderfully beautiful moments, big rousing & exciting cues, & incredibly fierce & terrifying sequences too. With decent sound, this is likely to become one of the cornerstones of any self-respecting Goldsmith collection.

dgoldwas Oscar® Winner	The main title sequence to THE FINAL CONFLICT had one of the best choral themes I think Goldsmith's ever done, and it was made all the more poingnant when I finally saw the film last year - a pretty cool opening title sequence! Dan

PeterK FishChip	Wistiti has been banned. Convert him, everyone, if you want him back.....

Marian Schedenig Oscar® Winner	I don't care, Peter. If he doesn't like The Omen, there's no need for him to post on this board. quote: Originally posted by dgoldwas: The main title sequence to THE FINAL CONFLICT had one of the best choral themes I think Goldsmith's ever done Not just Goldsmith - everyone! Then there's the silent and reverent The Monastery, the ominous, exciting The Hunt, some great "astronomy music", etc.

Mark Olivarez Oscar® Winner	Yes yes yes!!!!!! Well Marian you kept asking for The Final Conflict and your wish came true. Man October is going to be expensive. God bless you Robert Townson. Can some Williams scores be next???????

wistiti Oscar® Winner	All right, since I'm banned I'll just go and take a nap over at the sleepy FSM board. If I order the two albums will I be reinstated?

Darth Fart Oscar® Winner	The Fart hasn't heard Omen 3, so I'm relying on your comments!

Marian Schedenig Oscar® Winner	quote: Originally posted by Mark Olivarez: Psstt...Marian start wishing for some more scores for Varese to do. Hmmm. Since Varese obviously listen to what I say, what about Images? Or Heartbeeps? Or Spacecamp? I have no idea who holds the rights to those scores of course, but I've only heard excerpts from all three - all of which I liked. Or for a disc that has been previously released by Varese: I hear there's lots of unreleased stuff on Williams' Dracula... Or, to leave Williams territory: Isn't about half of the score absent from the Sphere CDs? My favourite Goldenthal score, and while I have no idea what's missing, I'd definitely pick up an expanded release. NP: Star Trek: Insurrection - Expanded (Jerry Goldsmith) - Thanks, Sean!

HAL 2000 Oscar® Winner	Well, it could mean something that so far all the Deluxe Editions have been European recordings. No reuse fees, guys. So it may take a little longer for US studio recorded scores. Still, this doesn't diminish the great things that Varese is doing. Bravo!

Big Bear unregistered	Expanded 2CD Conan. Please, somebody... in my lifetime.

jonathan_little Oscar® Winner	Wow, and a CD of music from ABC's "The Mole!" -- Fantastic! I always hoped it might be released by Silva since it was recorded in Prague. However, Varese picked it up instead, just in time for the next season to start! ...and I knew I held out from getting The Omen for a reason...

Dylan Oscar® Winner	Big Bear, I thought you won that eBay auction for the 2 CD Conan. It was the most ridiculous price. I think it was $200.00 [Message edited by Dylan on 08-17-2001]

Dylan Oscar® Winner	And yes, I'm hoping I'll be able to get this expanded CD by Goldsmith!
