Author	Topic: Tomb Raider 2 on Varese

Kris Standard Userer	I know this has been mentioned on the "New on Varese" thread, but I just wanted to say that we might be in for a lenghty release. The score was recorded in London!!! Now I am officially REALLY looking forward to this one. Cheers Varese.

Varese have updated their site with artwork and tracklists for SWAT, Passionada and Gigli; none of which seem to run very long. So much for that re-use/AFM/Hollywood Symphony malarkey, eh?

pietari Standard Userer	S.W.A.T. seems a decent length. Got to love those Goldenthal track titles (AK-47 Scherzo). I`m eagerly anticipating this, especially the 10-minute opener, Bullet Frenzy. Oh, and Gigli features another one of those `This CD does not contain any tracks by Jennifer Lopez` thingys.

Wickenstein Standard Userer	SWAT looks to be 35 minutes of score. Nice of Varese to spring for the extra 5 (like they did on Sphere). The tracklistings do look hillarious, just like Demolition Man's. My personal fave title is "Three chords in two minutes." Should be interesting to hear how that one goes.

And I guess it's been a couple of years. On the other hand, without it, I guess releases like this just wouldn't be possible at all.

rkeaveney Standard Userer	Then again EG could have written only 35 minutes of score for the film... As for TOMB RAIDER, I think ESB's site should explain all -- the score was recorded awhile ago, and the album isn't due until August, so there's plenty of time to sequence it properly. Ryan

Philipp Standard Userer	I will be very mad, when Silvestir is not delivering on this one! Philipp

Ryan Yes exactly, doesn't seem like a rush job to me at all. On the contrary. I'm glad I was well-informed about the score album after all. That song album with only one score track gave me the creeps Here's a quote about the song album from someone at a Tomb Raider forum: "I got the soundrack today and I have to say that I'm fairly impressed with it. My favorite song has to be the Silvestri score 'Pandora's Box'.That was just incredibly beautiful and evocative.If this is what Silvestri has done with COL,I can't wait to hear the rest of his work in the film!" Always nice to read such things from non-film music geeks like us

Philipp Standard Userer	I know, Varese has been going on us very mad with the NEMESIS preview, but maybe they are right on TOmb Raider 2: The film�s enormous score for orchestra and choir was composed by Alan Silvestri and recorded at London�s famed Abbey Road Studios. Silvestri has become one of the icons of summer blockbuster film scoring and he has created a true epic here. Hope, you are right Varese! Philipp

Wickenstein Standard Userer	If you look on at the back cover of the SWAT album, you'll see credits for electronic music, guitars, drums, percussion, and bass. The only thing missing is the saxophone A lot of the Goldenthal regulars like Robert Elhai (orchestrator), Steve Mercurio (conducter), Page Hamilton(guitar), and Richard Martinez (electronic music) are all back too, which is encouraging. 3 weeks is too long to wait....
