Jay 37,271 Posted November 27, 2012 Share Posted November 27, 2012 Die Hard 2: Die Harder - The Deluxe EditionSKU: VCL-1138UPC: VCL10121138Artist: Original Motion Picture SoundtrackTitle: Die Hard 2: Die Harder - The Deluxe EditionComposer: Michael KamenRelease Date: 11/05/12Price: $24.98DIE HARD 2: DIE HARDER – The Deluxe EditionOriginal Motion Picture SoundtrackMusic Composed and Conducted by Michael Kamen2 CD SetWe are thrilled to offer this 2-CD Deluxe Edition of one of Michael Kamen’s action masterpieces – Die Hard 2: Die Harder. We are on the cusp of beginning our 35th anniversary celebrations for 2013 but thought we’d get the party started early with this special release of a Kamen classic. A more-varied and free-handed score than the first Die Hard, Michael Kamen pulled out all the stops and went for it. He even threw in a fabulous ode to Sibelius by incorporating the thrilling Finlandia.Bruce Willis returns as the heroic cop who battles not only terrorists, but also an incompetent airport police chief (Dennis Franz), the hard-headed commander (John Amos) of the Army's anti-terrorist squad and a deadly winter snowstorm. The runways are littered with death and destruction, and McClane is in a race against time. His wife (Bonnie Bedelia) is trapped on one of the planes circling overhead, which is desperately low on fuel. It's all-out war, a heart-stopping, jet-propelled journey filled with excitement and terror.Snow will soon be falling over much of the world, which makes it the perfect time of year for Die Hard 2!Fasten your seat belts!Limited Edition of 3000 copiesPrice: $24.98Catalog #: VCL 1012 1138Disc One (60:29)1.

Jay 37,271 Posted August 3, 2021 Author Share Posted August 3, 2021 Wow, looked for this thread to ask a question and am surprised to see it has no replies! Wasn't this a notable release around here? Strange. Anyways, here's my question: I just started listening to this but don't have access to my booklet at home. Why do so many of the bonus tracks have different titles than main program tracks?

crocodile 7,979 Posted August 3, 2021 Share Posted August 3, 2021 It's my favourite of the three. I love the whole thing and how it builds up towards the extended action-packed third act. Karol bruce marshall 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jay 37,271 Posted August 3, 2021 Author Share Posted August 3, 2021 Wow, "Fight on the Wing" is one corker of an action cue! Kamen really didn't put that on the score album? Parts of "Fight On The Wing Continues" reminds me of "One Winged Angel" from Final Fantasy VII StarFox 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Corellian2019 383 Posted December 1, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted December 1, 2023 Similar to my post about DH:WAV, the Michael Kamen Estate has published complete cue lists for almost all of his scores. In the case of Die Hard 2, they have even uploaded audio clips of both "Fight On The Wing" cues with piano overdubs, among other goodies. Hopefully they get released on a reissue, similar to what LLL did for Road House enderdrag64, pete, Jay and 1 other 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thestat 342 Posted December 4, 2023 Share Posted December 4, 2023 Love this stuff from the Kamen estate - bring out more of this. What are the piano cues by the way if I may ask? Surely not Kamen's original compositions? Harlin would have bristled with this type of solo piano in his film so what was the idea? I love it, whatever.
