This is nonsense. This only makes sense if Shore actually wrote very little score the film -- and with all those songs apparently in the movie, maybe his involvement was less than we thought.Of course, Scorsese (of Gangs of New York fame) doesn't have a great track record for score fans. Looking at his filmography, the only decent retail score CDs I can see are Kundun and Age of Innocence.

The news I heard was that Shore's score is only about 20 minutes for the film, but that he expanded these cues and recorded them for a future album release... maybe much later?[Message edited by TV's Frank on 11-16-2004]

According to Music From the Movies, Decca will release a score CD on January 11th.

Looking at his filmography, the only decent retail score CDs I can see are Kundun and Age of Innocence.Looking at the number of score CDs to come from Scorcese pictures is a little misleading. Scorcese very, very rarely utilizes a "traditional" score, and even when he does the scores themselves are usually far from your traditional fare (e.g., Taxi Driver, Kundun).
The "Aviator" track listing is still promising in that there are no "cash-ins." No one is on this CD because they are popular and the studio is trying to jump on their success with a tie-in CD. Hell, after Lord of the Rings, Howard Shore probably has more selling power than any of the artists listed above. We shouldn't let the fact that Scorcese was a major catalyst for using songs in films overshadow how when he does it, it's generally 100 times more effective than in most of the films that picked up on the idea.
Now I'm not advocating the absense of a score CD (and I'm happy to hear that one is on the way), I'm just saying that the idea of a song-populated soundtrack is not essentially evil, even if most of us are used to it only in its most corrupted form.

I have absolutely no problem with a soundtrack of period songs that are actually in the movie. Especially since there's also a score album coming.
