I made a few (hopefully final) track title changes to Scream 3, after I realized I used two from Scream 2. This way I can make use of the title "Boom Boom Out Go Lights", and it makes more sense. One of my mistakes was confusing the Dempsey character with his name in Grey's Anatomy. He's not Derek here, he's Kincaid!

Scream 2
The FLAC bootleg is in wrong order (other bootlegs may be in the correct order). It is also clipped in a couple of tracks (not always noted below), and often the track endings need a fade out. Thanks to the Deluxe Edition, it has become almost superfluous though.
All titles are from the ASCAP list I found, from Beltrami’s site, or from the Varèse CDs.
 
Two questions remain: what cue should bear the title "Sid Kills Killer", and (confirmation of) the original placement of "Your Lucky Day" ("It's Over, Sid"). See below.
 
Opening
DE 01 = BL 1.01
(also first part of OST 7. Title from the DE.)
 
Phil Scares Maureen
DE 02 = BL 1.04
 
1m6 Phil Gets the Point
BL 1.05
Part of this cue can be found in the last section of OST 12; it's also available on Beltrami's website.
 
1m8 Maureen Steals the Show
(in ASCAP list as “Maureen Stops the Show”)
DE 03 = BL 1.02
The Deluxe Edition is actually micro-edited (or has an alternate take/insert) at the ending (1:38-1:43), replicating the film version.
(The FLAC boot seems clipped during the climax, the MP3 boot isn’t, but the clipping is a millisecond and hence negligible. Is also available on Beltrami's site.)
(An edited version of this cue can be found on OST 7.)
 
Your Lucky Day
DE 04
(= “It's Over, Sid” - OST 15. Not sure where this was originally written for: in place of “Your Lucky Day in Hell” or for the ending (following “Scream 2 Theme”)?)
 
Sidney Gets a Crank Call
unreleased
 
2m3 Cotton on TV News
BL 1.08
I’m pretty sure this is 2m3 – see the Scream 3 ASCAP cues: “ROMAN CALLS/SCREAM 2/2M3/CO”
 
Check Out the News
DE 05 = BL 1.14
 
Sid and Randy Talk
DE 06 = BL 1.16
 
2m6 Introducing Gale Again
DE 07 = BL 1.15
(Cue list spells Gale as Gail)
 
News Conference
BL 1.07
(Cue list misspells as “New Conference”)
 
Sid and Dewey
DE 08 = OST 10 (= BL 2.18)
Title on the Varese DE is “Sid and Dewey Talk”.
(The first part of the cue, where Sidney goes to meet Dewey on the lawn, is different in the film. The film uses music from Broken Arrow.)
 
Introducing Cotton / Sid Slugs Gail
unreleased
 
3m4 Dewey’s Theme
DE 09 = BL 2.01
(Replaced in the film by music from Broken Arrow)
 
Cici’s Home
DE 10 = BL 1.17
 
TV Vampire Music
Unreleased
Possibly composed for the Nosferatu fragment while Cici is switching channels, but I can’t hear it in the film. If this is the cue, it should be overlaid onto a part of the next cue.
 
Cici Gets Call
DE 11 = BL 2.07
(Follows previous cue “Cici’s Home” immediately.)
First part of the cue is also on the OST, track 9.
(This is likely 4m2, unless it’s one of the other ‘Cici’ cues, see: “ROMAN CALLS/SCREAM2/4M2/CICI”)
 
Cici’s Killed
DE 12 = BL 2.10 + 2.11
 
5m1 Crime Scene / 5m2 Sidney’s Attacked
DE 13 + DE 14 (= BL 1.18 + BL 1.03)
 
Derek at Hospital
DE 15 = BL 2.05
 
Killing Theories
DE 16 = BL 1.09
 
Sid and Derek under Tree
BL 1.13
 
Gale’s a Target
a very short unreleased (or tracked) cue
 
Cassandra Aria
DE 17 (= BL 2.20, cut the opening sting.)
 
Sid Runs into Derek
DE 18 = BL 1.10 + 1.11
 
7m3 Murder in Van / Sid in Library / Cotton Confronts Sidney
DE 19 + 20 + 21 (= BL 2.04 + BL 2.06 + BL 1.12)
 
Cops Question Cotton / Joel Quits
DE 22 + 23 (= BL 2.08 + BL 1.21)
(Second part of “Joel Quits” is on the OST as “Sundown Search”, but in the film it's again tracked music.)
 
9m2 Dewey and Gale Attacked
DE 24 = BL 2.12
(I don’t think BL 1.20 is an alternate, I think it’s just an alternate mix of the first section of the cue.)
(OST contains an edited version of this cue.)
(Opening is tracked from Broken Arrow in the film.)
Would have followed the previous cue immediately.
The ending of the cue has an unreleased (or tracked) overlay in the film.
 
10m1 Sid Says Goodbye
DE 25 = OST 11 (= BL 2.09)
In cue list as “Sid Says Goodbye Derek”
Follows the previous cue immediately.
 
Sid Needs New Roommate
DE 26 = BL 2.03
 
11m1 Gale Bumps into Cotton
BL 2.16
Cue list title is “Gail Bumps into Control”.
 
Cassandra Aria – Reprise
DE 27 = BL 2.21
 
Showdown / 12m1 The Big Showdown
DE 28 + DE 29 (= BL 2.17 + BL 1.19)
(ASCAP cue list has “Showdown Pt 1”)
 
13m1a / 13m1b Cotton Kills Killer
DE 30 = BL 2.13 + BL 2.14
I don't know if 13m1a has a separate cue title; the Deluxe Edition suggests that it is “Sid Kills Killer”, but Sid doesn't kill the killer here, she's attacked again during 13m1a. 13m1b is “Cotton Kills Killer”, per Beltrami's site.
 
13m2 More Lives than a Cat
DE 31 = BL 2.15
The cue title “Sid Kills Killer” was what I originally had for this track (instead of the previous like the DE), it also corresponds with the film. “More Lives than a Cat” could be made up.
 

Scream 2 (Theme)
DE 32 = BL 2.02
 
Disorderly
BL 2.22
(I think this is a song that Marco Beltrami wrote?)
 
Stab Suite
Beltrami website
The ASCAP list has the titles “Stab Shower”, “Stab - Window Crash”, “Stab Kill” and “Stab Film Clip”. (The latter follows Sid and Derek under Tree.)
 
Wild Cues
BL 2.19 + BL 2.20 0:00-0:04
The two opening stings from OST track 13 (Hairtrigger Lunatic) appear (separately) on this track.
What’s also left from the bootleg is the opening sting on “Cassandra Aria”; like the short stings on this track, I have no idea if or where that turns up in the film. However, “Cassandra Aria” is preceded by this track on the bootleg, so presumably it’s wrongly cut and this sting belongs to that track originally.
 
 

You have got to be kidding me right? It's an indredible good action score.

I couldn't disagree more. Kamen's score is excellent, and I love the way the Bond theme is incorporated. It's my second-favourite non-Barry Bond score (after Live and Let Die). I also like the Spanish influences, very appropriate for the film.

Which provokes me to ask, "Is Williams 'open to new ideas' and 'always inventing'?" If not, who is?
Did Goldsmith give this advice to Bernstein?

Yes, wanner's whole post is pretty much conspiracy BS.

The thing I never understand is why composers don't put music in the correct order on CD's kinda drives me crazy!! lol!

I rather liked Angels and Demons more than The Da Vinci Code. It felt bolder, denser and even maybe less typically Zimmer-like.

I'm not going to argue that Zimmer's major scores in the last few years have all been very similar, and on occasion quite disappointingly similar (ie. TDK:R); however that doesn't mean that they can't be appreciated on their own merit whatsoever. Inception, to me, was a fantastic score, and was a fine development of the synth work built up in Da Vinci Code, Angels and Demons and The Dark Knight. I also cannot think of a more suitable soundtrack for the film itself - something the Filmtracks reviewer completely fails to take into account. These are film scores, written specifically for the film - and they should be reviewed as such rather than solely on their standalone worth.

I'm just awaiting the inevitable savaging it'll get on Filmtracks. I can't work out why all the Zimmer reviews for the past decade on there have been written by people who clearly despise him and his style of music.

His duty as a reviewer is also to try and understand the timbre and style that the composer has gone for, rather than to dismiss it because it might sound texturally similar to some of his previous scores. John Williams scores are always orchestral, in the same way that MoS, TDK, TDK:R, Inception etc have all been heavily synth based and influenced. I don't feel that the reviewers ever empathise with that, nor even attempt to appreciate the emotion and mood conveyed by that particular style.
