TWOK: 10,000 units. To warrant that kind of run, there better be a lot more than remastering and a Nimoy-less track. A lot more. Multiple dips: Cassette LP GNP CD FSM CD

A couple of Horner tracks made it on the LP, so not completely unreleased. The Pursuit of D.B. Cooper and I Love You To Death might make for an interesting double bill on a single CD.

Over on the FSM board, MV announced that JFK was in the works and when queried about it, MV indicated on May 18, 2016 that it would be out in 2017, or later. 2021 is later than 2017. Just writing…

Neumation Music’s Facebook page for those who want the original source of the news. FSM message board thread It appears that The Day the Earth Stood Still is their first publication.

I heard that North reused some material from 2001 for it. Nice flyer, but there aren't any catalogue numbers listed. Something to look forward to.

My money’s on 1550. I think Jay’s got some inside scoop. Not the title, just the number.

Per title: https://omnimusicpublishing.com/product/james-horner-sneakers-full-orchestral-score/ No e-mail announcement, just checked the website and there it was. Ordered. Didn't care for the default shipping to super-duper express for $40+.

Alien3 will always have a special spot in my heart. I remember reading Opera News and it had a blurb about this guy who was going to score the next Alien film. That kind of blurb in Film Score Monthly? Sure, but Opera News? I was intrigued. A few months later I’m talking to a musician and he tells me about this fabulous score he was a part of recording. A score that was unlike any score he’d been in the orchestra to record. When I asked him to name the movie, he supplied, “The new Alien.” That changed me from a hard pass on seeing it to checking it out.

Okay, so the speculated list is Hook, HP4, and The Patriot. I’ll put in Brain-, no, Will-, oh wait, ah: a rerecording of David Raksin’s The Redeemer. Sure fire miss.

That’s what I was thinking: I like the score and would like to hear more of it. It’s what I figure whenever anybody expresses an interest in an expanded score. Even Zimmer scores . Some people are averse to bootlegs.

But only if Jay wants it kissed. We’ll still be able to unabashedly bash Zimmer, right?

Sneakers? Orchestral with plenty of banging piano for tension. Has nice solos from Branford Marsalis on sax. and don’t forget the Vaughan-Williams quote... Krull, Cocoon, An American Tail, The Land Before Time, The Rocketeer, Legends of the Fall, Braveheart, Apollo 13. Nope. Sneakers. I’ll still pick it up. Probably not the first day available, but eventually.

Wait, this dropped six weeks ago and only this morning I received an e-mail from Omni announcing the release? Damn. (More of a Really?!?) Ordered. Hope its success will lead to TWOK being released. Read the e-mail during a Zoom meeting and my face did not hide my reaction. Somebody got caught not paying attention to the meeting...

Star Trek III on cassette back in 1985. I’m so old, even my nose hairs have gone grey.

Just as long as they’re not as obtuse as the clues Varese Sarabande has been putting out.
