Jay 37,475 Posted February 18, 2011 Share Posted February 18, 2011 Hahaha... I always thought they were similar!And I was actually into the Cliffhanger movie and score long before I ever saw The Last Of The Mohicans or heard its score, so maybe that's why I never really latched on to the LOTM score...I have a feeling Cliffhanger would warrant 3,000 copies too?Then again, I thought for sure Link would have been issued at 3,000 copies...

TownerFan 4,991 Posted February 18, 2011 Share Posted February 18, 2011 2,000 copies of a popular score = instant sell-out I'm joking, if it's Cliffhanger the quantity most likely has to do with contractual obligations. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jay 37,475 Posted February 18, 2011 Share Posted February 18, 2011 Well, I'd buy Cliffhanger in a heartbeat. I don't remember much about the rest of the score, but the main theme is EPIC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ollie 1,064 Posted February 18, 2011 Share Posted February 18, 2011 I had Cliffhanger back in the 90's but sold it. I swear they temped tracked the hell out of the film with Alan Silvestri. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trent B 337 Posted February 18, 2011 Author Share Posted February 18, 2011 What about possibly The Hunt For Red October? Big sweeping theme there. Came out in 1990 and would require 2-CD's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 2nd disc would be the original MCA album plus any alternate and unused cues. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Richard Penna 3,754 Posted February 19, 2011 Share Posted February 19, 2011 I wonder if the lack of 90s clips is due to the score being too recognisable.Given so, I'm hoping for Last of the Mohicans. Didn't like what I heard from Cliffhanger on spotify.The problem with these clues is that putting a film in a singe genre can be hard, I mean how much action/battles does a movie need before it's classed as an 'action' movie?

Trent B 337 Posted February 21, 2011 Author Share Posted February 21, 2011 Another title I thought about last night when watching the film for. What about Hot Shots (1991) or Hot Shots Part Deux (1993)? Hot Shots was written by Sylvester Levay and Part Deux was written by Basil Poledouris. Both had sweeping themes and quite a bit of action in them despite they were comedy shows. Intrada's released scores for both composers, however, would either score require a 2-CD set?

Ollie 1,064 Posted February 21, 2011 Share Posted February 21, 2011 Nah I don't think it would be either of those two, plus they are actually comedies and Roger would have put that in his clues. Although I wouldn't mind seeing Poledouris' score get a proper treatment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Intrada was able to re-create instrument placement, spread of original mixes while creating crisp, all-new mixes for our final CD masters! New highlights include exciting air-to-air hijack & robbery ("Being Tricked/Matheson Revives"), pulsating "Qualen's Timebomb/Jessie's Close Call", riveting entire final helicopter fight running over 9-minutes!

Wojo 2,453 Posted February 22, 2011 Share Posted February 22, 2011 I ordered Cliffhanger sound unheard because I've become a big fan of Trevor Jones. Dark Crystal, Labyrinth, and Nate and Hayes are all great.I tacked Battlestar Galactica into the order. I had been confused because I thought there was a cinematic movie in addition to the TV show; once I realized the TV pilot was retooled to be the movie, buying this was a no-brainer: I love the main theme, and my brain...
