    Which cues did you wish they included in the OST?

    in General Discussion

    There are quite a lot interesting unreleased cues from that film, indeed... I've always liked the short cue that plays when Gibbs ask Jack where he's going to find 100 souls in 3 days, and Jack replies "Tortuga"... Love the cello here, or whatever instrument that is...

    There certainly is! And yes you're right, that little playful cue is wonderful. :)

    Also the whole Escape From Pelegosto Island, The Three-Way Duel / Fight For The Key etc.

    The score gets a total bashing in most places, and if you've only heard what's on the OST then I agree that it's poor. However, like we've just seen with Harry Potter & The Philosopher's Stone, when you get to hear the complete score in film order, it actually sounds like a different score. The OST is just a mis-match of themes going everywhere without any structure, but with the unreleased bits you can really hear (and in my case, appreciate) how the score fully develops throughout the film.

    I wholeheartedly agree. Dead Man's Chest OST is awful, plain and simple. But if you compare the album version to the film version of cues, wow ! Like you said, Escape From Pelegostos Island is way better than Jack Sparrow (its album counterpart), and so is Davy Jones organ version. Same goes for The Thee-Way Duel and The Wheel Of Fortune. But as always with Zimmer, a lot of his cues are way better in their film version than in their album counterpart...

    100% agree! :) Wonder if we'll ever see expanded/complete editions of the Pirates saga, especially 2 & 3? :huh:

    I've noticed a lot of Zimmer's Pirate film versions of cues often have more drum overlays and a more powerful feel to what's presented on the OST. :)

    I almost always miss memorable cues from the movie when I buy a OST, but the most egregious omission for me was the wrong choice/right choice cue from The Last Crusade; I mean, it's the finale, the moment Indy finds the holy grail, and one of the best pieces of music ever! Other cues I would have liked to see on CD (and in some cases I'm still waiting) are the 'mosquito in amber' moment in Jurassic Park (though it was sort of understandable that it wasn't included), 'Approaching the stones' in Temple of Doom, every other cue on any Star Wars OST (there must be like ten for ROTS that I'd like to have), the helicopter flight in Dante's Peak, etc. etc. Interestingly, Williams seems to be most likely to exclude my favorite cues from his CDs; many other composers are better when it comes to including the highlights on the OST.

    Williams is a menace when it comes to arranging OSTs! :blink: Some of his editing choices to create a 'listening experience' leave a lot to be desired...

    End Credits and Davy Jones (Organ, Film Version) from Pirates Of The Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest. Or in fact, any of the unreleased cues from that film. Any.

    NO! PIRATES OF THE CARIBBEAN IS ALL TRASH! D=< HANS ZIMMER SUCKS AT EVERYTHING!!!!!!!!!111111111

    That being said, I agree. I also wish they had released the bit where the Flying Dutchman fires upon the Black Pearl. That was one of favorites in the movie.

    You mean the attack/chase sequence after the "Jar Of Dirt" part? If so, I've got that cue..... ;)

    I've not got the ost. Is that cue unreleased then? From my vague memories of the movie, I remember thinking the end credits music with the organ being cool as hell.

    The OST is a disgrace, it really is. :blink:

    The first part of the End Credits are completely unreleased, but can be ripped cleanly (minus a couple of opening notes, thanks to that bloody monkey...) from the DVD. The second and third parts are just edits of the Jack Sparrow and The Kraken suites from the OST. The final part is Davy Jones on the organ (different version than the better one used in the film), mixed with the end of the Davy Jones OST track and finally spliced with Jones's music box section of the cue for good measure. ;)
