Author	Topic: X2 Score News!!!

Widescreen Oscar® Winner	The official website for John Ottman states that after months of editing and writing music, the composer finally started recording the 100+ minute score to X2 on Friday, March 7. With a 90+ piece orchestra (and choir) to be utilized, conductor / orchestrator Damon Intrabartolo kicked off the scoring session at the Newman Scoring Stage.

HadrianD Oscar® Winner	SWEET!!!! I like the Kamen score also (note, the complete one, not the CD presentation) and I'm looking forward to hearing what Ottman will do.

Widescreen Oscar® Winner	Dan told me soon - he was right! This is from John Ottman's website, by way of info from www.superherohype.com 1. X-Men 2 Suite (7:10) 2. Storm (2:18) 3. Faith (1:29) 4. Mystique (3:30) 5. Cerebro (1:26) 6. Mansion (7:33) 7. Rogue (1:34) 8. It's Time (3:39) 9. Magneto (4:57) 10. I'm In (4:10) 11. Really Knew (3:20) 12. Fire (2:43) 13. Death (4:50) 14.

And this I got from getting a nice response to e-mail tp Superb Records: The soundtrack will be available 4/29. I was also invited to check the next couple of days as artwork would soon be up.

dgoldwas Oscar® Winner	Well bah. Funny, since that page isn't really "live", nor is that the final track listing. but since everyone is going "gaga" over it, here you go: http://www.johnottman.com/projects/features/xmen2/ (see, the URL is so easy to figure out.) The real "test" will be to see how much this incorrect track listing gets spread around the net..... Oh, and eventually look for sound clips, and even.... video from the scoring session.

rkeaveney Oscar® Winner	Though they have no bearing on the quality of the music, those track titles are terribly lame and generic. Where's Goldsmith's "The..." when you need it!?!? Ryan

rkeaveney Oscar® Winner	Okay, so those fake track titles are lame! But the real ones are divine. Let's hope there's no fisherman-like e-guitar in "Storm's Perfect Storm" though! Ryan

Dan Brecher Oscar® Winner	I'm seeing X-Men 2 early in the morning on Thursday in London. I'll post my thoughts on the movie and most notably it's score by the time most of your American fellows wake up I should think... Looking forward to it()! Dan [the British one] () = understatement

Dinko, it's Superb Records. They put out SOLARIS, PHONE BOOTH, ANTOINE FISHER, and ONE HOUR PHOTO. You can get those, right? So... you can probably get this one. Dan

Dinko Oscar® Winner	How should I know? I never cared for those scores. But now that you've provided these other reference titles, I'll check local stores.
posted 04-14-2003 05:01 PM PT (US)

Dinko Oscar® Winner	latest exchange rate data: Superb Records sold for $33.99CDN in online stores. 33.99 CDN = 23.39 US dollars. and that's not even counting the additional sales tax which puts it at $39CDN ($27USD). I think I'll pass.

dgoldwas Oscar® Winner	Wow - that's expensive, Dinko! But for the sake of fairness, what are OTHER soundtracks selling for, up there in Canada? I mean... if they all are costing that much........... Dan
posted 04-14-2003 05:24 PM PT (US)

Dinko Oscar® Winner	Varèse Sarabande stuff tends to sell for anywhere between $19.99CDN and $24.99CDN. Major label soundtrack releases go for $14.99 (on sale) to 23.99$CDN.

Widescreen Oscar® Winner	I think I seem to have overstepped my bounds and I have been discourteous. Dan, I own you an apology. I'm sorry, I really had no idea anybody had picked up that information before it was legitimized. Serves me right for being overzealous. I honestly don't know how SuperheroHype got the info first.

Chris, I don't think you really have anything to apologize for... anyone could have easily made the same mistake (and they have, apparently). I'm sure once the track titles have been finalized, Dan's page on Ottman's site will reflect the accurate info. Common sense, I know.

Widescreen Oscar® Winner	Thanks, Jeron. Incidentally, how are studies for you these days?

Crono/Kyp Oscar® Winner	Thanks WS and Dan (the LA one) for the info, I am very much looking forward to this one. --Brian
posted 04-14-2003 07:22 PM PT (US)

dgoldwas Oscar® Winner	Chris, No apologies are necessary. Given the directory structury on John's site, it's not out of reason to figure that someone would just guess the right path for the X-MEN 2 page. All it resulted in, though, was me scrambling to get the proper track listing up, as well as the CD cover artwork (which thankfully was much easier to get than it could have been). Now, of course, you WILL still have to wait a week or so for John to compile his thoughts - he has a lot to write about the score, and THEN he has to write about editing the film! (That's a lot of stuff for someone who has been working nonstop for the past 10 months!) Look for sound clips when I get back in town next week. (And on a similar thread, stay on your toes for MATRIX RELOADED clips on Don's site after I've had a chance to fully absorb it all. Mmmm.....) Dan

rkeaveney Oscar® Winner	Dinko, I'm guessing you went to HMV.com for pricing. Bad idea! Amazon.ca has PHONE BOOTH for C$23.99. Ryan
posted 04-14-2003 08:26 PM PT (US)

Dinko Oscar® Winner	ooooh! That's more like it. Thanks Ryan. As for HMV being a bad idea for pricing, it all depends on what you're looking for. Some things may be cheaper at Amazon, but choice is often poor, and most times I have found what interests me to be cheaper at HMV.com The only place I have found to be consistently cheaper than HMV is cdplus.com , but again rather poor choice on many items.

Widescreen Oscar® Winner	Yeah, James, but didn't you know, Bri is the great legitimizer? By the way, in cross-confirmation, for those of you seeking the score at websites for stores like Best Buy and Circuit City, it is at both, but you have to type in X-Men 2 and click on Album at Best Buy's site, and the stranger one is Circuit City, which lists it as "X-Men, Vol. 2". Man, the day's going to come when commerce respects specificity, and when it does, can we collectively spit on those chumps, please?

WS is also a nice guy and was basically thanking me for the confirmation. Stop being an ass. First the Broughton thread now this, why don't you go out and take a breather of the LA air and come back when you can be at least somewhat nicer in your posts rather than the sarcastic ass you've been the past few days. Your attitude is getting old. --Brian [Message edited by Crono/Kyp on 04-22-2003]

If anything, my attitude towards you is merely reflective of the one you've shown me, so get over yourself. Dan

Bri- mail me, I want to ask you a question off-topic about film work, I'd like to catch up with you on what you're doing now. Back to subject: Dan, are the sound bites of the X2 score coming to johnottman.com this week or next week? I know you said they were soon, I was just curious as to when since the score is so close to release.
