Topic: A good version of the Terminator theme?

Hey all,Just curious if there is a REALLY good version of the Terminator theme to listen to until Beltrami's score for T3 arrives? I have heard the one from the Erich Kunzel Fantasy/Adventure CD and that's more what I'm leaning towards. Any suggestions?

Thanks

That IS the really good version of the theme. It's not true to the original, since it's orchestral and all, but it definitely kicks ass.Mike

I created one based off Terminator theme:
www.edgen.com/mp3/edgen_terminator.mp3It has the eletronic feel of T1 mixed with the sadness of T2.
Love to have your thoughts
-enjoy.

edgen,nicely done variation on the theme, but i was hoping to hear the full theme stated as Fiedel had written it (even if it's a different orchestration).

yes.. I would definitely agree... but last thing I want is some lawyers knocking on my door
I'm sure the E.Kunzel had permission to recreate the full theme. I'm actually working on another one and hopefully i'll have it floating around before you know it

Hey man.. most definitely! It'll most likely float its way up. I "plan" on making this one really kickin'. but, of course finding those spare 10 min here and there is hard to come across these days.I know its off subject, but I did a remake of the Xbox HALO soundtrack too that's pretty neato. You can goto my site and you'll see a link at the bottom to it.

Isn't the Kunzel one full of sound effects before the orchestra kicks in?

It has some sound effects in it. Personally I find his recording to be the best thing ever done to the theme.Jz

I do believe that there is a good orchestral recording of Fiedel's theme on one of Silva Screen's Schwarzenegger compilations. Sans FX! Sound is not as good as on the Telarc recording but if I remember it correctly the performance by the Prague musicians is quite spirited!

I saw a newer TV spot for T3 last night, and the music seemed like a newer version? The classic T2 theme, mixed in with some rock music? Has anyone see this, maybe this is from the new score?
