Disco Stu 15,495 Posted July 17, 2018 Share Posted July 17, 2018 3 minutes ago, Jay said: The debate isn't about if end credits should be included or not. The debate is about when a composer writes the end credits one way, but then in the final film the music editors change stuff around from how he intended it... and then a specialty label CD replicates the music editor's hackjob instead of the composer's intentions. Since the original album version is here I don't mind it much. I might prefer the film version credits anyway. But I'm also someone who pretty much never plays the CDs once they're ripped. So having my preferred assembly order on the CDs isn't a huge deal to me. Also, is there some Giacchino intended end credit that was replaced on the deluxe edition of Into Darkness? I thought he recorded through the TOS arrangement and then it was always an edited assembly from there. I see no issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes. He wrote a proper end credit suite, which was recorded in 3 parts. However, in the final film, the music editors replaced one entire part and a portion of another with material tracked in from London Calling and Ode To Harrison. The Varese DE for whatever reason dropped all 3 end credits pieces (and the cue "Spock To Spock") and instead included the end credits straight from the film's music stem, so it has different sound quality than the rest of the CD on top of including tracked music instead of what Giacchino intended.

publicist 4,643 Posted July 17, 2018 Share Posted July 17, 2018 It's not even 'the original version', it's just that one long arrangement of the love theme Goldsmith wrote that he - rather brilliantly - rearranged for 'Sand Volcano', one of his best summation cues (the short insert of the bumbling hero theme follows the tutti of the movie's end instead of the love theme, which is how it plays in the movie). The remaining 5 minutes were always intended as a 'hack job'. Which wasn't much good so that it best should be placed in the bonus bonus section.

Brundlefly 2,385 Posted July 18, 2018 Author Share Posted July 18, 2018 Do I get this right? "The Sand Volcano" from the OST consists of the sand volcano cue, the hero's theme and the love theme. The complete score seperates the sand volcano cue from the rest. So, "End Credits" from the C&C consists of the love theme, the hero's theme and 5 mysterious unreleased minutes?

It's simply superfluous to break the 79-minutes-rule, just to recreate a 'haphazard' editing job, because it was in the movie. Intrada didn't include the Deep Rising end credits edit, did they? It's one of these moments when a C&C release departs too much from the notion of keeping the complete presentation a good listening experience, rather than do it all painstakingly meticulously as it appeared in the movie. The last couple of JW releases by LLL are great examples of paying as much attention to the listening experience as to completeness. In that regard, Varese is doing a good job as well. Only Intrada could sometimes pay more attention to that aspect. Taikomochi 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard Penna 3,687 Posted July 18, 2018 Share Posted July 18, 2018 At least we get a clean ending to The Sand Volcano and opening the love theme. I wouldn't call the overall edit 'haphazard', although the edit before the final cue (heard in the sample) hasn't quite been done right. I'm probably going to extract the love theme piece as a standalone ending track. Also noticed it's marked as containing unreleased music... how? Is there something not tracked in there? Talking of which, there are several 'alternate' cues in the main program so it looks like the main program contains the film versions.As we debated in the Titanic thread, I prefer that presentation.

Also, source cues seem to be missing. Did a tiny bit of Shazaming and some YouTube tagging, and none of the source cues are Goldsmith. Not surprising - if he couldn't do the entire score, he was hardly going to waste time writing source material.
