  1. Eww. Always hated that thing. The real choir in that for Titanic just had me reaching for the actual score as a palate cleanser. Not in any order, these are scores where they're either primarily / entirely electronic (*) or feature a balance of orchestral / acoustic and fully synthesized cues(+). Not a complete list but you'll get the idea. Field of Dreams * Searching for Bobby Fischer + Bopha! * Jack The Bear * Project X + Vibes * Red Heat * Where The River Runs Black * The Forgotten * The Life Before Her Eyes * The Chumscrubber * Class Action * Extreme Close-Up * Thunderheart * Unlawful Entry * Patriot Games + Clear and Present Danger + (most of the expanded material on the Intrada) Troy + (a lot expanded material on the Intrada) The Pelican Brief + Apollo 13 + Braveheart + (good amount of expanded material on the LLL) Jade * Beyond Borders + The Boy in the Striped Pajamas + Avatar + Titanic + Southpaw * Apocalypto + Favorite element of the score, especially my favorite cue Leaving Port (Revised).
  2. (320k mp3, 320k m4a and FLAC) https://ca.7digital.com/artist/james-horner/release/the-name-of-the-rose-original-soundtrack-16424988?f=16173353 https://us.7digital.com/artist/james-horner/release/the-name-of-the-rose-original-soundtrack-16424988 Also on iTunes (m4a) https://music.apple.com/ca/album/the-name-of-the-rose-original-soundtrack/1571123353 from the label Königskinder, though it is not listed on their site. Seems to be the most recent Horner album available digitally since the remastered / expanded The Rocketeer.
  3. The deleted scenes were first released on the 2005 DVD (the one with that dumbass / egocentric image of Cameron reaching for an Oscar statuette) and then again on the 2012 Blu-ray. They are in 2.35:1, not open matte. The film itself was released in both on the 2012 Blu-ray, as the 3D version was open matte (and spread to two discs), while the 2.35:1 version was on one disc.
  4. I did it in mine. I don’t think it ruins anything. It’s a bit too light but the life lesson is nice enough. It could have done without the overhead Brock laughing part. @bollemanneke you have a message waiting.
  5. I can answer that. I did my own 'extended' cut of the film....then I did it again using the open-matte version to make a Chris Nolan-styled "IMAX" shifting AR presentation....then I did a 'restored score' version I just completed. With the sole exception of the extended scene of Rose getting rescued / hiding from Cal after the sinking (as they were aboard the Carpathia) which used the full unedited "A Life So Changed", the score in all the deleted scenes is just as butchered as the rest of the film. "Trapped on 'D' Deck" was indeed meant to score the Lovejoy / stunt double Jack fight (the piano rumbling) and it's funny...The ending of that sequence (where they're trapped behind the locked gate fumbling for the keys) was scored twice. "compliments of the Chippewa Falls Dawsons" is a mouthful to make a good action line. Meh. The first ending of the cue (heard in the 'Back to Titanic' edited version of "A Building Panic" was the original ending to that scene. The thriller / col legno-filled ending used in the film (called "Trapped on 'D' Deck - End') was basically the revised version (where it was made up of the same ideas in 'Death of Titanic' later on in the score). The majority of deleted scenes flesh out the factual events of the Titanic history, as well as add some nice character moments with Jack and Rose spending more time bonding (so it isn't as rushed in what was already a long film) and yes, that completely dropped Fabrizio / Helga storyline (Helga is the girl Rose looks at just before the ship's stern sinks under. She and Rose look at each other before Helga drops to her death)
  6. An Ocean of Memories fits - to an extent - the alternate ending of the film. I did some experimenting with it. Some of it works very well, and some of it is ridiculous, such as Sissel singing over the rising shot of Brock laughing. The timing doesn't always work but as an overall thing, it's clear the cue was written for at least a version of this sequence.
  7. Courage Under Fire is my favorite Horner score, and favorite of the Horner / Zwick films.
  8. I half-expected there to be a "To Be Continued....in 202-whenever Doctor Strange 2 comes out" But that would've been better than what we got. Ugh.
  9. Man Sisko should bitch-slap that song outta existence. There was one, I think Digital Bits, that had some good examples using Terminator 2, Titanic, Independence Day (that one full of hard-matted effects that didn't benefit from Super 35 the way the rest of the film did) if I recall. But any type of mass-marketing campaign was rare. Fox had their "Widescreen Series" VHS releases with promos showing side-by-side comparisons. Minor stuff.
  10. taking a dump on a pile of shit? Josstice League is a fun, somewhat harmless dumpster fire, and Whedon took plenty of time (allegedly) to dump all over Snyder's work so meh. Complaints about the AR make no sense to me, given people have been watching CinemaScope movies with horizontal black bars on TVs for years now. Letterboxed content. Also, I've been watching a shit-ton of Star Trek so I'm just seeing pillarboxed material all the time now. If anyone wants to fill their TVs with 16:9 content using Snyder Cut, just zoom in to approximate a center crop of the image you'd likely have seen in theaters. Nothing is missing from the AR Snyder chose. That's the point of him choosing it.
  11. Alexander's Ragtime Band is different, yes. Crossfade "Post" with "My Heart Will Go On" and you have the intended end credits. It's a direct continuation.
  12. Don't forget to shrink the embedded cover art, it'll cut the massive file size down quite a bit.
  13. I'm the opposite, in that I love when he uses the electronics and occasionally makes it a kind of "Star Wars goes Gangsta" sound. Love it.
  14. BALTO is my ultimate Christmas-sounding but not actually a Christmas score. The vast majority of the score is full of that holiday season sound.
  15. Had a miniscule, teeny-tiny bit of involvement in this one behind the scenes a while back. Glad to see it come to fruition.
  16. Congratulations to Chris for a job very well done, and it was indeed very challenging.
  17. The Batman theme from this score is one of my son's favorite pieces of music.
  18. I did the entire film's audio mix, AND I did separate sequences. I've been doing them for years. I sent you an email with a link to the film with the restored score.
  19. Not at all, no. I wish Horner scores got that type of info in their booklets like Goldsmith scores did.
  20. Correct. It's a joke title, a riff on "Shrimp on the Barbie" from Paul Hogan in the 90s.
  21. Three of us spent all weekend pouring over it to get it right, and one of our designers made the splash art specifically for the article.
