I'm not convinced the naming means anything specific, but I agree that especially given they did the first one, it's a very good indication that the secone one's coming. I gave the sessions a very quick skim on YouTube and actually there's a lot more here than I remember, particularly in the alternates.

The movie's 2 hours (excluding credits) and the album has only got 44 minutes (!!) of score... either fees got in the way or Elfman was in a really conceptual mindset when he made it. It means that catering for alternate versions (and hopefully other composers' work) there's absolutely tons of missing music. I am so up for an expansion.

One possibility I've seen before (Tomorrow Never Dies I think) is that not all the score was completed when the album master needed to be handed in for manufacturing etc.

The fact that it says "Album Version" is a pretty big reveal. It tells me that there is at least something other than the album edit of that cue exists.

I think this was a (not very) subtle easter egg to confirm that they are at least working on Spider-Man 2.

Of course, I'm just stating the obvious that others have likely said in different ways already, but I'm anticipating good things, so I don't care.

At any rate, if this and Spider-Man 3 are given the LLLR treatment, we are in for an amazing time.

If Aliens is in stock, I doubt we'll get it further expanded.

It's basically complete, but perhaps needs a little polish if it is to be revisited from the DE.

T3 would be fantastic. I really love that score. The film: eh.

Tallguy · April 15

Would they be re-releasing Brainstorm with the original score recordings?

I can dream ...

Andy · April 1

Interesting to see such releases.

April 1

I simply have Tomorrow Never Dies for the score.

I I kept the other releases, the album names would be:

James Bond 18 - Tomorrow Never Dies

James Bond 18 - Tomorrow Never Dies - Original Soundtrack

James Bond 18 - Tomorrow Never Dies - Chapter III

James Bond 18 - Tomorrow Never Dies - Alternates

.. and so on.

(I know, for some series, such as Star Trek, Star Wars etc., I keep things in an ordered series naming.

Star Trek TOS - S1 - 01 - The Cage

Star Trek TOS - S1 - 02 - Where No Man Has Gone Before

or

Star Wars - 1 - The Phantom Menace

Star Wars - 2 - Attack of the Clones

Star Wars - 3.1 - Solo A Star Wars Story

I haven't applied it to all series, but when there are many movies with significant ordering being appropriate, I do so.

Always with the release year of the film or TV show season.

I like that approach. In those cases, I have separate albums for each disk (Album - Disk 1, Album - Disk 2).

Unfortunately some systems seem to choke on the disk number issue.

For scores, I tend to join the score into a single continuous album and create separate albums for bonus and alternate cues.

Since I'm not restricted to album length, I see little reason to maintain disks when the score is spread over multiple disks.

So how do people handle Year on a soundtrack? I think the answer is obvious (year of the film with some exceptions) but I often get imported metadata that uses the year that the expansion is published. So Top Gun, rather than 1986 will say 2024.

If it's a film original score I use the film's year no matter when the release. All four of my Star Trek: The Motion Picture releases say 1979.

But if it's a re-recording I go with the year it is released rather than the film.

This is pretty much my approach. Always the year of the film.

If it is a separate re-recording, I sometimes put the year, or some meaningful description in the title.

Since I have a curation practice of having one, definitive release of a given score, I don't have to differentiate which release of a score I have, so the year of release or the catalog number is not needed or maintained.

To track my actual CDs, I use SoundtrackCollector.com.

bollemanneke · April 1

I set the Composer as the Album Artist, then Composer(s) and Conductor(s) for each track, as well as the usual Year and Genre (soundtracks). For song-scores, or compilations, I use Various.

So my file structure is: Album Artist \ Score \ track - track name.mp3

For pop songs I separately tag Artist (band), Composer / writer etc.

March 9

This is an immediate order for me.

No familiarity with this score but James Horner’s very first score.

i never thought this one would ever see the light.

Yavar Moradi · February 25

Sam Smith was fine aside from that annoying falsetto in my view.

Radiohead had an interesting take but was rejected for good reason.

Yavar Moradi · February 24

The San Smith song has grown on me over time.

Given the importance of the song, good or not good. I’d always want it included with the score.

You Know My Name was sorely missed from Casino Royale for example.

For Bond the opening is always a key musical component to the film.

I wish it was there. It would have saved me some hassle creating a playlist and I consider the title song a vital part of the musical Bond experience. Even if it's not written by the score composer.

That said, I have a hard time getting through this one. It's so overbearing and busy. I feel it somewhat lacks the clarity of ideas the other Arnold Bond scores have.

I'm in the same boat with this one. It sort of works in the film I suspect, but the song really does nothing for me.

February 23

I have a compilation of bond songs (50 years 50 tracks set) that includes it, so I used that in my "virtual" playlist.

Edmilson · February 23

If you don't have it, get it. It is an EXCELLENT score. Song is not great, but score is.

Yavar Moradi · January 22

I don't always read them, but if I have the time I do.

Sometimes there is a lot of great insight in a well-written set of liner notes.

Yavar Moradi · January 20

Listening to CD 1. Really enjoying this one. It has a kind of swagger to it I really like.

Lots of fun.

LLLR send my copy ....

I find tagging things up in my archive as very zen, and allows me to quickly find the music I want to hear at any point.

I'm something of a collector, but I'm not a hoarder, I curate the collection.

Broadly, I have a set of rules (guidelines really) when it comes to titles:

Only one release of any given score.
When possible/practical, ensure I get the definitive / complete version of the score.
If there is a previous release, pass it on via a donation or a sale / trade at a used CD store so that another individual can discover the music.
If a previous version is signed, treat as an exception.
If a previous version contains significant material absent from the new definitive release, treat as an exception.

Tom Guernsey · January 18

I think you should just stick to the cue names or track names for the main score.

The fact that the album versions or different mixes are in separate albums usually provides differentiating context.

Tom Guernsey · January 18

For film scores, I have a general Style I apply to my metadada.

Just for a little context, I use Windows Media Player and have it apply folder structuring and naming based on the tags, and use MP3Tag to fine tune the tagging and apply the artwork. I also use it to play back music from my laptop over headphones.

For complete score releases, I always name an albul for the film it applies to, and ensure the "Album" contains the complete score from beginning to end, combining multiple disks into the album.

I then keep separate albums for different groups of Alternates, named for the film with " - Alternates" and " - Album Versions" depending on what is on the disks.

The OST or Original Albums are named "<Film Name> - Original Soundtrack" if present, and I ensure I have the LP or CD album cover (often from SoundtrackCollector.com).

When the full score includes "Film Version" etc. I simply have the track title.

Well, order is now "Awaiting Shipment" so they are likely working through them.

It's also "Temporarily Out Of Stock" on the website.

Andy · January 17

James Bond will return in ... the Second Pressing

January 16

This should be shipping soon. Hope my standalone order gets sent out today as scheduled.

January 16

That was an easy order for me. Samples sound fantastic to me.
