Missouri Breaks 2CD Complete Score (SOLD OUT in 72 hours!)


Jay

Recommended Posts

I've not studied the case track by track, but it's rare that I found a score superior to it's "re-recorded" album version.

 

Take by example E.T. or Jaws, the albums are classics. It's the same for all the 60's re-recorded albums, they really add "more" to the score.  The albums are more concise, the tracks are well shaped, they have a beginning and an end, so the albums offers in general a great listening experience.

 

But not in the case of Missouri Breaks, I found the album.... arid?

 

It's maybe the era... 1976... I don't know, but I like more the "sound" and the "mood" of the score!

 

All this for saying this Kritzerland release is ESSENTIAL.

One of the aspects I really like on the original score programme is how it fleshes out the creepy bounty hunter music of Brando's character. The strange harpsichord and all the weird percussion. On the OST it was present on two tracks while here it is actually a major element of the score.

Now, just a damn minute!

This thread was started on May 8th, 2013, and it's now February 23rd 2018, and you can still buy it. That's not 72 hours!

well, it was sold out, and he probably bought it more expensive from third party.

Actually, it is $19.99 + $3.99 shipping on Amazon new.  I've also got Accidental Tourist in my Amazon cart for $18.25 new from SAE, is it complete / near complete?  Worth getting or would I need to worry about a possible double-dip in the near future?

Accidental Tourist is a wonderful purchase, a very pleasant album to listen to!

You don't need to worry about a future expansion; The FSM edition is still in print and will be for a while.  IIRC, when they looked for elements to expand it, they couldn't find any.

Holy crap!  So funny this came up today, because I JUST finished listening to this interview with Mike Matessino:

In which The Accidental Tourist, and the FSM CD, actually comes up!  He mentions the reason it wasn't expanded was because it was during a time when it was hard to license material from Warner Brothers, which I had completely forgotten about!  So FSM only worked with Warner Records to reissue the OST.  So the elements are probably fine, and the score could probably be expanded one day if FSM were to either let their license lapse or gift it to another label that's still in business.

 

All that being said, I don't think there's enough interest in this score that the labels will get to it ANY time soon; There's so many bigger scores on their radars right now I am sure.

Several small cues and the source music for the movie they see in the theater, which as they point out in the podcast, would make a nice companion piece to 11th Commandment from CE3K - plus, who knows if there are any alternates we don't even know about

Oh because there was a huuuuge interest for Stanley & Iris maybe? :sarcasm:

So it was intended to be expanded a few years back, as one of the first Williams expansions ever?

Nothing is perfect nor definitive... especially in the musical domain. Repeat after me.

Wait, what?  The first Williams expansion was the Star Wars trilogy in 1993, and the FSM Accidental Tourist came out in 2008.....

In 2008 it still counts as one of the first, cause not much was going on back then.

2008 isn't anywhere close to the early days of expanded score releases.

 

In fact it was actually the end of the heyday of the specialty label era, when all the labels we're having 3,000 copy titles sell out in 24-72 hours regularly.

It is. Before that, there were just a few expansions here and there, almost none of them complete. But now it really started with definitive releases every year... okay, maybe it already started in 2010.

An expanded Accidental Tourist would be even more skippable than an expanded Missouri Breaks.

They should have expanded this instead of The Lost World. Nobody needs the crappy Jurassic Park Collection.

If I said I prefer an expanded Accidental Tourist than a Lost World would you believe me? ;)

No, it's not. There's a little bit more "dissonant" music, as Leary goes to view his son.

Also, the film version of THE TRIP TO LONDON is different.

ok, i checked both cues.

The trip to london has indeed a different ending.

 

But the other cue.. maybe you mean another scene?

The film cue is like the ost (missing some music from the beginning), and there's no scene of Leary going to view Muriel's (i'd guess you meant) son.

Muriel goes to check on her son.

Sorry about that, I was thinking of MACON ALONE. I meant the scene where Leary goes to view his dead son.

 

still, that flm cue is exactly the same as the ost cue. There isn't anything missing in the ost.
