ferper 0 Posted November 7, 2007 Share Posted November 7, 2007 Sorry if this has been already posted but I did a search and couldn't find a message that answered my question.Ok, as you all already know, the 4DVD Special Edition of Superman contains music-only audio track on disc 2 and additional music cues on disc 3.My question is, are these cues already available at the 2CD Superman release or in any unofficial release?In other words, should I extract the music from those discs (if some of the cues are unreleased) and in that case, does anyone has title for these cues?Also, the Making Superman: Filming the Legend has some brief excerpts with Williams about the music and he also comments on other aspects of the film, very briefly, as part of the other comments.

King Mark 3,630 Posted November 7, 2007 Share Posted November 7, 2007 I'm pretty sure the Rhino 2 c.d. set is complete.Some have said the DVD iso track sounds better though,but ihaven't checked Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lurker 5 Posted November 7, 2007 Share Posted November 7, 2007 There is an alternate "Can You Read My Mind" on the DVD that is not on the Rhino.The isolated score is edited to match the picture. Even the main title is pitched up on the isolated track. There is stuff missing on that which is on the Rhino.The bonus cues on disc 3 have some curious editing decisions. If I'm not mistaken, it reversed the order of "More Mugger" and "Lex Luthor's Lair" and the main title is a new edit, too.Neil Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim Ware 526 Posted November 7, 2007 Share Posted November 7, 2007 The bonus cues on disc 3 have some curious editing decisions. If I'm not mistaken, it reversed the order of "More Mugger" and "Lex Luthor's Lair" and the main title is a new edit, too.I think someone was confused with the slate numbers here. More Mugger is 7M1, Introducing Otis is 6M2/7M1. Quite why they didn't watch the film to check I don't know...The Main Title assembly is incorrect. It uses 'New 1M1 Part 1' (the Daily Planet prologue), skips 'New 1M1 Part 2' (the short insert between the prologue and the march) and segues to the alternate main title with the lengthy march/fanfare buildup which the prologue was designed to replace.

The Superman Cinema UK presented an extensive review on the Rhino 2CD:http://www.supermancinema.co.uk/superman1/...cle/index.shtmlOn the DVD music-only cues, they say: "The DVD features the isolated score, and includes 8 alternate tracks, some of which are not on the Rhino 2 CD soundtrack. At the time, the soundtrack producers were unable to locate the COMPLETE 6 track masters, but were found by the DVD team."I will check the cues more carefully and probably will extract the disc 3 cues.RegardsFernando Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lurker 5 Posted November 8, 2007 Share Posted November 8, 2007 Yeah, it would have been nice if some more unreleased cues were included in the DVD set expanding on what was released on the initial DVD. It's obvious that they had them.Neil Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jw_researcher 0 Posted November 8, 2007 Share Posted November 8, 2007 The Rhino 2CD set doesn't contain everything that was recorded. It does have everything heard in the film except the opening two bars of the Mugger cue.There are some alternate cues in the earlier part of the film which are not on the CD. Funny enough, you hear shortened versions of them in Superman II (during the attack on the astronauts and the battle in the streets of Manhattan). There are alternate cues for Baby's Trip to Earth, The Dome Rises, and the rising of the Fortress of Solitude.Yeah, it would have been nice if some more unreleased cues were included in the DVD set expanding on what was released on the initial DVD. It's obvious that they had them.Neil Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A lot better. In fact, it sounds like it was recorded yesterday. Unfortunately, it has all the edits, the pitch thing, and a lot of reverb.

It's obvious that they had them.NeilI agree. That astounds me. This is music by Williams never, ever heard before and that it was used for Donner's SUPERMAN II warrants some sort of commercial release.It's different than the pop version found on the Rhino.NeilSorry if this has been discussed elsewhere, but speaking of SUPERMAN, is anyone curious about the John Williams cues which showed up on THE RICHARD DONNER CUT of SUPERMAN II, and which have never been heard elsewhere before (save for Ken Thorne's orchestrations of those cues in Lester's SUPERMAN II)?In the use of williams score on S2 , there is very short unused music, when after the crash of the young sups space ship, he opens it , when the phantom zone explode, and the big question is : Who have composed the track of the moon encounters when Non crash the shuttle , this piece is located also during the fight in Metropolis ...Williams or Thorne ???I think everything we hear on Donner's SUPERMAN II is conducted by Williams.

Trent B 337 Posted November 9, 2007 Share Posted November 9, 2007 Superman II was done by Ken Thorne. Thorne just adapted Williams original themes and some music for the film and I'm sure that's all they used for the Donner cut. I doubt Williams composed any new stuff for the Donner cut.

John Crichton 4 Posted November 9, 2007 Share Posted November 9, 2007 Nothing new was composed for the Donner cut, but parts of an alternate cue or two from Superman- The Movie that weren't on the Rhino release were used. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
