What is known about this? Anyone heard any of the score? Anyone know why Stone rejected it?

I'm of course happy it didn't work out, as Williams was his composer 2 pictures later, but never the less.

as far as I know, Jerry Goldmisth didn't compose any music.

He's credited with having an unused score, implying that he did write sometinhg.

I don't feel the need for the BOTFoJ bootleg- I don't listen to regular one that much. Just the suite is enough for me.

Hmmmmm yeah the main theme is the real draw. I hate the regular album though since it has all that pop music on it.

After awhile I find Williams repeats the same cue over and over in both the film and on album. I gets a little boring after a time.

Justin -Who doesn't really blame Williams. The film is like a horse tranqulizer. :mrgreen:

It works great in the film- he always goes back to that sense of isolation.

I agree BotFJ is pretty much the same from track to track.Having the boot can permit you to select the few versions of the main theme you like the best...actually mine is only on the Boot.

The story goes that Stone and Goldmith had creative differences on scoring the movie. They parted ways before any music was recorded. The theme he wrote for Wall Street was later used in The Russia House.

Hmmm...wasn't the theme for his rejected score for Alien Nation used as the theme for A Russia House?

Yup

That's true but his score for Alien Nation was unused. It was such a nice theme that he decided that The Russia House was another good opportunity to let it be heard. Since I consider the Russia House one of the very best scores of the 90's I won't argue with his judgment.

This is not unusual for composers who have scores they've worked hard on go unheard. Elements of Alex North's unused score for 2001 turned up in his score to Dragonslayer.

John Barry's rejected Prince of The Tides became his beautiful Across the Sea of Time score.
