Jay 37,275 Posted April 12, 2022 Share Posted April 12, 2022 Years ago I got a free CD called "Wings of a Film", which is Hans Zimmer music was recorded live at a film music concert in Ghent in 2000. A lot of Zimmer regulars are listed as performers, like Zimmer himself, Lisa Gerrard, Lebo M, Heitor Pereira, Gavin Greenaway, Rupert Gregson Williams, Bruce Fowler, etc. One credit that caught my eye was John Powell, credited as playing "third percussion from the left" Does anyone know anything about this?

Jay 37,275 Posted May 13, 2022 Share Posted May 13, 2022 Wow, very exciting! I wonder if that means a Varese Club Batch is in store for us next week? The reason I speculate that is because Varese released 25 of JP's OST albums and they've already Deluxe'd two of them 2001 - Evolution, I Am Sam, Just Visiting, Shrek 2002 - Bourne Identity, Two Weeks Notice 2003 - Gigli, The Italian Job, Paycheck 2004 - Bourne Supremacy 2005 - Robots 2006 - Ice Age 2, United 93, X-Men The Last Stand 2007 - PS I Love You 2008 - Hancock, Horton Hears a Who!, Stop-Loss 2009 - Ice Age 3 2010 - Green Zone, HTTYD, Knight and Day 2011 - Kung Fu Panda 2 2012 - The Lorax, Ice Age 4 Yavar Moradi 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anthony 572 Posted May 13, 2022 Share Posted May 13, 2022 Oh, exciting! I do hope it's The Bourne Identity, The Bourne Supremacy, or Mr. & Mrs. Smith. They are the ones most worthy of the next expansion. A. A. Ron and Evanus 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Raiders of the SoundtrArk 2,429 Posted May 13, 2022 Share Posted May 13, 2022 I would really love to get Shrek or Chicken Run even though I suspect the later to be released next year by the time the sequel hits Netflix If I remember correctly don't John Powell usually uses a CD image when the deluxe is released on CD and not only digitally? This would probably disqualify the Varèse titles Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jay 37,275 Posted May 13, 2022 Share Posted May 13, 2022 I dunno. He specifically said "Deluxe Edition" which is very known Varese branding.

Jay 37,275 Posted May 13, 2022 Share Posted May 13, 2022 Yea The frequency of Club releases since Townson left and Cary and Bryon took over is: 2020-Jan - Dolores Claiborne & The Stand 2020-March - US Marshals & The Big Fix 2020-June - The Running Man & Seaquest DSV 2020-August - Wild Wild West 2020-October - HTTYD1 & Village of the Damned 2021-Jan - Looney Tunes Back In Action & Babe 2021-March - Along Came A Spider & The Serpent And The Rainbow 2021-April - Lionheart & Knowing 2021-June - Paycheck & The Matrix 2021-August - Dantes Peak & Love Field 2021-November - Elf & Blue Velvet 2022-March - HTTYD2 & Iron Giant Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anthony 572 Posted May 13, 2022 Share Posted May 13, 2022 When Powell previously asked fans what Deluxe Edition they wanted next, I said "Paycheck" and that's what we got. And the most recent time he asked I said "The Bourne Identity" or "The Bourne Supremacy", so let's hope he was listening again. Edit: It's not one of my favourites, but come to think of it, X-Men would also be a solid choice. Provided it has the film versions of the titles and St. Lupus Day! Evanus and A. A.

Edmilson 7,380 Posted May 14, 2022 Share Posted May 14, 2022 Face/Off would be a good choice as well. I remember watching the movie years ago and liking the score, so it'd be great to listen to it on its own. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anthony 572 Posted May 15, 2022 Share Posted May 15, 2022 Factoring in "other means" of obtaining music that's already been out there for years, The Bourne Identity would be the best outcome. It's never been fully available. But in terms of which scores deserve expanded releases due to their high-quality or limited OSTs, it's Supremacy and X-Men.

Jay 37,275 Posted May 16, 2022 Share Posted May 16, 2022 Some people do not prioritize their wishes for scores the specialty labels should tackle based on the number of minutes that weren't on the OST, but just on how much they like the score Plus, every score in existence could heave untold amounts of music that nobody knows about because it wasn't used in the final version of the film Kasey Kockroach and mstrox 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Richard Penna 3,667 Posted May 17, 2022 Share Posted May 17, 2022 You're talking about the longer sequences cut into short cues, right? It's to exploit a reuse fee rule/loophole where choir fees are paid for the duration of the track they're in, i.e. if a 6 minute track contains 10 seconds of choir they still have to pay for 6 mins of choir. The stupidity and senselessness of AFM rules has no bounds, although I think Powell implies in the video at the link below that they've figured it out now so he doesn't have to do that.
