The Batman theme from this score is one of my son's favorite pieces of music.

Follow your own direction.

I did the entire film's audio mix, AND I did separate sequences. I've been doing them for years. I sent you an email with a link to the film with the restored score.

I did the entire film like that. Restored everything.

Not at all, no. I wish Horner scores got that type of info in their booklets like Goldsmith scores did.

Correct. It's a joke title, a riff on "Shrimp on the Barbie" from Paul Hogan in the 90s.

Three of us spent all weekend pouring over it to get it right, and one of our designers made the splash art specifically for the article.

Mike Matessino and Neil Bulk.

You win this thread.

Take out that completely utterly fucking stupid joystick on the bridge and that film isn't that bad.

Yeah they're off the FYC, though if you play them at a loud volume you can still hear the birds. More dialed down very low than completely removed. Westenra's vocals are entirely removed on that FYC though. So basically it's like this: disc 1 1. The New World (OST version) 2. First Landing 3. Nature (Forest Textures on FYC) 4. A Flame Within 5. An Apparition in the Fields... 6. Journey Upriver 7. Of The Forest (Bird Demo on FYC) 8. Pocahontas and Smith (FYC has slightly longer oboe intro) 9. Forbidden Corn 10. A New Life (Rolfe Proposes 1 on FYC) 11. Rolfe Proposes (Rolfe Proposes 2 on FYC) disc 2 1. Winter (edit of the OST track to give it an ending) 2. The Battle (edit of both OST and FYC tracks, combining them together for an extended version) 3. All is Lost 4. A Dark Cloud is Forever Lifted 5. Listen To The Wind 6. The New World (FYC version) 7. Forbidden Corn (FYC version) 8. Rolfe Proposes (OST track) 9. All is Lost (ending taken from FYC) 10. A Dark Cloud is Forever Lifted (FYC version which cuts the opening piano intro)

I am the guy who made the combined FYC / OST album. I can't believe that was 8 years ago I did that. I titled that cue "Nature" because I didn't really care for the name "Forest Textures". Same with the cue "A New Life". I don't like the names "Rolfe Proposes 1" and "Rolfe Proposes 2" so I gave the former a new title. Just made sense at the time. Adding in the bird / vocal-less versions of cues as bonus tracks off the FYC seemed like the natural thing to do. Below is the custom back cover I'd done for the back of a theoretical CD years ago.

I think he's pretty spot-on. One cannot compare this to any other film series musically, especially its endurance in the public consciousness. Lord of the Rings / Hobbit for example, six films with one composer but that has not and will never resonate as much as Star Wars. Nothing really ever will, nothing has ever come close.

It was never going to be anyone BUT Franglen and he’s worked with James for years. Titanic first, then from Avatar right up to the end of James’ life.
