Well, a little dissapointed here... I can do without those meaningless vocals... damn. Could have been 4 more score cues....Who would ever think a Goldsmith action score and pop songs would complement each other??? I will NEVER understand the soundtrack business and there wacky decision-making...

At least "If We Could Remember" is by Jerry!! We haven't heard a song by him in a long time! This'll be a good CD, I'm sure.

It's a political/suspense thriller w/ moments of action. If you're expecting wall-to-wall Goldsmith bombast in the tradition of Air Force One, you'll be sorely disappointed.

I am kind of relieved. I was afraid it was going to be like that SHADOW album with very few cues [and] adding up to less than 30 minutes of score, while the rest of the disc space was taken up by those crummy songs.I am so adding S.O.A.F. to my collection!

They want us not to trade bootleg music, but when they do something like this, aren't they controdicting themselves? I complete score to this will emerge and people will get that because it'll have lots more score nad no crappy songs. It's sh!t like this that makes bootlegs enevitable.

Justin,Try to think about the logistics of it before running off like that.
THE SUM OF ALL FEARS was recorded with a union orchestra and choir in Los Angeles. Quite simply, it would be a VERY VERY EXPENSIVE album to release the "complete score". And they would probably never recoupe their costs if they did that. By putting songs and score on the album, it makes it a little more marketable to the general public, which means the album has more of a chance of making its money back.

Logistics piss me off.This score is being praised by Goldsmith fans so far and they haven't even heard it yet.
If it sells well, they should think about a limited release of the complete score. Like 3,00 copies. With posts at all the major trading boards... they would kill.posted 05-15-2002 07:08 AM PT (US)

And additionally, you get 11 score tracks to four songs- one of them I think is a Russian or foriegn hymn, I'm not sure- Dan or Jeron would have better info on that than I.But more importantly, the song written by Jerry with lyrics by Paul Williams is recorded by Yolanda Adams, who is a an R&B/Gospel vocalist for Elektra. She has an incredible voice by virtue of the website I saw for her, and she'll sell the song. Plus the fact that at least the songs they include are IN THE MOVIE, as opposed to the poorly constructed (though somewhat enjoyable) Spider-Man songs album. 6 tracks of it in the movie, 13 not, 13 spaces that could have been filled by score as it is. It would have made more sense as an album- but, unfortunately, not as a piece of business.
That's showbiz for you- all about the almighty dollar.
But, hey, it's Goldsmith, and we get another album. Let's count our lucky stars!

That is why some CD companies and the AFM insisted that isolated scores be banned from DVDs. Yet I do not see the AFM doing anything about these ridiculous fees so the length doesn't matter. I am all for these talented musicians getting paid for their work, but why does the pay have to increase w/ every second? It seems like there is no reason for this except to annoy us fans. Think about it, a noticably big chunk of score being left off a CD makes the CD seem so crummy. That is kind of like editing a movie down to 30 minutes because of re-use fees.

If I had to guess, it would be the cue titled CLEAR THE STADIUM. I guess we'll all see when both film and score come out. I gotta tell you, though, that if that one piece of scoring DOES end up missing from the CD release, I'll be hitting the bootleg trail. Way too neato not to have. Y'all will see when it gets here.

If the songs are on there to, in some way, subsidise the choral score (which I assume is on the CD) then I welcome them. All in all there are only four songs one of which is a Goldsmith compostion. I'm not complaining.And Mark, here's to hoping that montage cue is on there as well.

Jerry Goldsmith On-Line http://users.computerweekly.net/jneeds/jgoldsmith-on-line.news.html reports regarding the song he composed for the movie:The score version appears over the opening credits and is an orchestral hymn with lyrics in Latin and sung by soprano Shana Blake Hill of the Los Angeles Opera. The song version appears over the end credits and is sung by Yolanda Adams, the Grammy-winning gospel/crossover artist with lyrics by Paul Williams and produced by Trevor Horn.

I wish people would stop blaming the high AFM user fees for all that is evil about soundtracks. Keep in mind they did lower them AND what is wrong with an artist receiving some residuals and getting PAID for their work? I know if I performed in an orchestra that was covered by AFM, I would want my name on the credits and a nice little check from time to time for my efforts.

You would think by now that some people would finally start to get the fact that you aren't going to get a full blown release of every score. I mean it is constantly talked about over and over and over on every message board.It has been explained and argued and people still can't get it thru their heads.
God this re-use and complete score thing is getting old real fast.

Like record labels give a sh*t what us film music geeks have to say.I, for one, love film scores. I also don't want to have every score released be 75 minutes. Most 75 minute albums out can't hold their own, and I have no doubt in my mind 99% of the ones that aren't 75 minutes wouldn't be able to do so had they been given a longer release.
I know I'm in the minority on this one, but I'd rather sit down and listen to a consistantly enjoyable 40 minute album than have to sit through 20 minutes of crap on a 70 minute release, just to get that extra 10 minutes of otherwise unreleased music.

Yeah, but who is to say that the forty minutes on the album is the forty minutes that you or I will enjoy the most? I'd rather have seventy five minutes and make up my own mind. For scores which require limitations due to re-use fees, I'd rather have forty minutes instead of zero.I'll remind everybody that it often costs more to buy the (incomplete) film score on compact disc then it does to buy the DVD of the whole film. That is wrong.

The AFM has made a step in the right direction with their new re-use scale. Now it's time for the record companies to buy twice as much music or drop the price of their forty minute CDs to $10.

Jonathan, in all honesty, I prefer letting somebody judge what gets on the album, making it consise and consistant, opposed to having it ALL there and letting me decide for myself.I don't want to edit every CD I own, or even worse have to skip through tracks in my car CD player.
Besides, most album producers know what they're doing. I own many CD's, and very few of them are missing pieces that I can't live without.
The formula as is works, and I hope it continues to stay this way.
On the other hand, I totally agree w/your comment on the price oppossed to a DVD... Absurd.

But with your current line of thinking.... why don't they just put out all the raw footage for a movie, and let ME edit it the way _I_ like??

There's a difference-
If you buy a cd with all tjhe score on it- you are the judge. You can't force any one to listen to your favorite tracks.If you edit a movie to your liking though, you force what you want to see apon everyone else.
I'm trying me best not to hate you right now.
You bring up an interesting point though..... waht if people were allowed to make their own personal copies of a movie? For a price they get to edit together a movie however they want for their own personal view.

Yes, I see your point, but isn't the CD an extension of the composer's art? Like a rock band or a pop artist, the composer picks the best tracks, mixes and decides what he/she likes and thinks makes a great album of music. Why can't some of you give the composer his/her respect and accept this? Hasta is SO right that who wants to hear 2 second incidental tracks. When I throw on a favorite score CD, I want to hear all the killer stuff not the filler!I know I might get creamed for this, but it's like going to a restaurant and messing with the meal and then saying it sucked...you are basically insulting the chef. The composer is like the chef, hopefully giving us a nice mix of the pieces we all want with some that add to the listening experience.
