Anyone know what has happened to GoodMusician's download page? It has disappeared; it's no longer on s31clan.com where it's supposed to be.

The unused "Logo" is a cool short piece.  It was originally intended to score when the film opens up and we see the Back To The Future logo come onto the screen.  However it was decided to be dropped and replaced by the sound of ticking clocks.

Quite right, Trent. However, here's something I realized. I thought I had heard that piece before...and I have. If anyone out there has a copy of Back To The The Future on DVD (the new 2 disc set, not the old one), go and watch the "Back To The Future Night" doc with Leslie Nielsen. That Logo cue is used in the part of the show when Nielsen says something like, "let's begin! Back To The Future. See you in the movies." or something like that. Tell me that isn't the Logo cue! Albeit, not the whole cue, but the tail end of it at least. It's been sitting under our noses for twenty years and we never knew it! Haha!

Not to add in a pun, but it's about time this was released!! And just in time for the 25th anniversary of the movie next year, at that. Yeah, lots of Silvestri and big BTTF fans here, more than a lot realize, I would imagine; I know, I'm one of them. First the complete sessions of Part II and III and now this. This has been an awesome year with all of Silvestri's BTTF music coming out of the woodwork at last, LOL.

Oh, and Trent? You were right on the money when you told me months ago that this had 38 to 39 tracks; that's exactly what it has!! Good job on the guess, pal!!

What's missing from Empire?

Well, there's also an alternate version of the Finale that was actually used in the Empire radio drama that trails off and ends instead of going into any end credits. That would be a nice piece to have in a clean, dialogue-free version . To this day I wonder how in the hell Tom Voegli got his hands on that. Must have been in some film stem can or something that got conveniently "lost" when they came back to do the later extended scores of Empire later on.

"Yoda's Theme" from The Empire Strikes Back
"Luke and Leia" from Return Of The Jedi
"Anakin's Theme" from The Phantom Menace

To me, those are quiet, tender melodies that would work as lullabies, the first one I mentioned especially.
