  1. Down to a negative Clemmensen review that complains about that very thing!
  2. So the "viewer discretion is advised" you'd see at the start of some older television programs has been coddling me the whole time?
  3. The more Oppie loses, the more it's guaranteeing it gets best score as a consolation prize
  4. It's not beyond HZ to have made a new theme that's basically a modification of an existing one, even within the same franchise. I still don't know why he made the Mermaid theme off of Pirates 4 so similar to the Black Pearl one (outside of temp track abuse), so I don't consider it particularly far fetched if it is as simple as him taking a liking to a little idea he had planted and reworking it for something more.
  5. So the composer who made the piece is a liar then? Then again, it's fairly common for a theme to evolve past its initial intent, so I won't rule that out (especially when it could also just be a "lie through omission" sort of thing).
  6. Because 80 years of source material means nothing for further adaptations? It's not the big blue boy scout's fault WB keeps refusing to go past the same few elements that have dominated most Supes films at this point.
  7. I'm near positive that's a track that doesn't exist for this score in the same way it does for the first two, since the logos for 3 just use the regular Universal and DWA themes. The latter definitely seems to be a unique rendition at least, but I can still hear the core HGW Shrek theme in it, and I imagine Powell would've included it if he was the one who arranged it.
  8. So that's actually something I wanted to talk about when you posted the back of the case yesterday, since I wanted to see if there were any changes in the crew of each of these releases based on some of the previous key talking points. While Cary E. Mansfield is consistently credited as the executive producer of the reissues across all 3, @BryonDavis is only on the first one alongside him, so I wonder what that's about. Mark Shoolery did both the artwork for 2 and 3's DEs, making me more curious in the very different approaches for each. However, the biggest surprise for me is that after John Traunwieser did every prior remaster job for 5 Cat Studios, it's Chas Ferry and Melinda Hurley this time. I really have no idea if I've ever seen two people on a mastering job for one project until now, so I'm quite keen to know if that'll make it feel noticeably different from the previous two DEs.
  9. Oooooo I hadn't thought about using that image, since the one the official DE uses parallels the cover of the first one very well. Might do my own version.
  10. The first is the only one that fully reuses the original OST cover, so it manages to look the best as a result. The second just needs a font change to look decent. The third..... well, you already know. That definitely is a difference in manufacturer, given you will occasionally see a few CDs across the past few decades have that on there randomly.
  11. I think they switched their shipping facilities sometime around last year or 2022, since I do remember my initial orders coming out of CA initially before switching to VA. My recent orders elsewhere have come out of that state funnily enough, so I'm guessing it'll get here sooner than the Tuesday estimate I've currently been given.
  12. Ah, now there's a plausible theory right there. Certainly tracks, since it seems only VS have ever had these issues, as they also have had to split cues on some Powell OSTs in a manner that the choir moments are basically isolated (and thus have to pay less as a result). An incredibly strange thing to keep running into, but that's business I guess.
  13. To actually provide some detail, here's what I gathered using the original copy of the leak (since what circulated initially actually omitted two of the source tracks on the DE, and the alts): 3m05v7 Market Door (0:52) 3m08 Bad Decision Stinger (0:22) 6m05a Duel Intro (1:38) 6m05b Challenge Duel (3:24) 3m08alt Bad Decision Stinger (0:22) 5m07alt Recollection (2:15) 6m06alt Finale (1:01) Now these last two are strange in that their intros have been slightly cut, in manners that musically make no sense once you hear the unedited tracks. The kicker? The second track doesn't have this issue on the OST! 5m04 He's Here (1:15) 6m01ab A Choice-Decision Made (4:15) Combine shortening an original album track with the abrupt fade outs (since I can confirm those are also not supposed to be like that), I'm starting to get the impression this originally was supposed to be a single CD release before they were abruptly given the approval to include more material. It's just way too specific for it to merely be the equivalent of a first time job for a newbie.
