Richard Penna 3,676 Posted September 3, 2021 Share Posted September 3, 2021 With Varese's recent tidal wave of deluxifications, I went and found all of their DEs that I've picked up over the years, to remind myself. At one end, I bought Nightwing based entirely on my rather liking the samples on their website - I've never seen the film, nor heard anything else by Mancini. And I got lucky - I love it. The other end of the scale being Dante's Peak, which I still can't quite believe is in that pile. And whether that copy of Starship Troopers is defective.... no idea I have two identical copies. The only other potential DEs I can immediately think of that I'd also buy would be I, Robot and Ice Age. OneBuckFilms and Naïve Old Fart 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I see you mention it rather a lot. I think the only ones left for me are I, Robot, Ice Age, and I'll pick up 13th Warrior when they get round to it. It's a glowing indication of how much Bryon & co have been on fire the last few years. Edit - oh, forgot Sphere too, but I guess that it being Goldenthal and WB, that's not happening any time soon...

Richard Penna 3,676 Posted November 17, 2021 Share Posted November 17, 2021 Well if it's not Elf, I have no clue. The other one sounds like either Hollow Man or Blue Velvet.

Richard Penna 3,676 Posted November 17, 2021 Share Posted November 17, 2021 Some of the suggestions particularly on FB have been rather amusing (for lots of batches, not just this one), partly as they're not controlled by Varese, but also as some of them are extremely recent scores which wouldn't be on anyone's radar for expansion. Zimmer's Inferno was mentioned a lot for the last batch. I think some people are taking the guessing a bit too literally, and not connecting the dots with Varese's back catalogue.

bruce marshall 1,315 Posted November 17, 2021 Share Posted November 17, 2021 The shelf picture is obviously AN UNFINISHED LIFE by Deborah Lurie I might get BV if it has lots of cool , atmospheric Badalamenti. Like TWIN PEAKS . I have not seen the film but I only watched a few eps of TP and still bought the ost. I already have the title instrumental and the fantastic " Mysteries of Love" song. Never felt the need for the complete ost Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mstrox 6,647 Posted November 17, 2021 Share Posted November 17, 2021 Blue Velvet is probably the closest thing to original series Twin Peaks that Badalamenti has written for Lynch. Maybe even closer than what he wrote for Fire Walk With Me. The Straight Story is probably their best collaboration though. Hard to believe that there aren’t full score albums for Wild at Heart and Lost Highway yet…maybe there isn’t that much.

And how do we know this? Yeah I knew about Brainstorm (though I'm still clueless as to why) but this is the first I've heard of him actively nixing either of those. My guess is Dante's Peak, because when I interviewed him years ago he clearly had affection for Love Field and really regretted having to leave the lengthy Lost Luggage sequence off the album due to re-use fee time constraints. Since that was one of the shortest (if not THE shortest) original Goldsmith Varese albums (only 28.5 minutes), I'd be shocked if he was opposed to expanding it.
