Popular Post Brundlefly 2,385 Posted July 16, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted July 16, 2018 Quote INTRADA Announces: THE MUMMY Music Composed and Conducted by JERRY GOLDSMITH INTRADA ISC 402 Intrada's latest release is from Universal Studios' thrilling 1999 adventure The Mummy. Composer Jerry Goldsmith wrote and recorded nearly 100 minutes of music with nods to his beloved action-and-suspense vernacular of the late ’70s and early ’80s, an era he seldom looked back upon by 1999. By the '90s, Goldsmith was usually rooting his rhythmic ideas in heavy doses of electronics. Here, however, Goldsmith revisited a musical language he had largely moved away from, using real percussion and low brass and strings to deliver almost all the rhythms. And to emphasize the Egyptian locale, Goldsmith employed the exotic color of a bouzouki, a mandolin-like, Greek instrument to provide regional color. In the end, The Mummy was one of the biggest box-office successes in Jerry Goldsmith’s career. At the time of the film's release, Jerry Goldsmith and engineer Bruce Botnick selected 57 minutes of highlights for the album, electing not to use anything from the middle of the film, eschewing all of reels 8, 9, 10 and most of reel 11. As a result, several sensational cues were not included on that Decca album, including some of the most exciting and dramatic sequences in the score. For Intrada’s complete score presentation plus alternates, Botnick has prepared brand-new digital two-track mixes using the 48-track session masters. For the complete Decca album presentation, Intrada used the digital two-track album master. All source material was housed in the vaults of Universal Pictures in pristine condition and has been used in the preparation of this release with their kind permission. Brendan Fraser, playing French Foreign Legion officer and adventurer Rick O’Connell, headed a large cast that included Rachel Weisz as librarian and budding Egyptologist Evelyn Carnahan; John Hannah as her less-principled brother, who’s into tomb raiding for the money; Arnold Vosloo as Imhotep, an Egyptian high priest doomed to eternal life after Pharaoh Seti I (Aharon Ipalé) discovers the priest’s affair with his wife, Anck Su Namun (Patricia Velasquez); Kevin J. O’Connor as nefarious thief Beni Gabor; and Oded Fehr as Ardeth Bay, leader of a sect sworn to keep the evil of Imhotep from the world. O’Connell, an Indiana Jones-like, adventurer-archaeologist archetype and Carnahan and her ne’er-do-well brother, Jonathan accidentally resurrect the mummified Egyptian high priest Imhotep and unleash all kinds of ancient evil INTRADA ISC 402 Barcode: 7 20258 54020 1 Retail Price: $29.99 SHIPPING JULY 12, 2018 For track listing and sound samples, please visit:http://store.intrada.com/s.nl/it.A/id.11533/.f http://www.intrada.net/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=7876 Quote Jerry Goldsmith’s spectacular score gets an expanded 2-CD premiere! Wildly successful 1999 reboot of Universal Picture’s famed series of 30’s and 40’s horror entries all began with Boris Karloff in 1931. Stephen Sommers directs with Brendan Fraser, Rachel Weisz, John Hannah, Arnold Vosloo, Jonathan Hyde, Kevin J. O’Connor. Kevin Jarre executive produces, Sommers also writes screen story and script. Often getting front and center attention is mammoth 91-minute Jerry Goldsmith score, utilizing huge orchestra and chorus in the largest scale writing of his latter career. Numerous themes appear, dynamic action cues abound! Much to the joy of Goldsmith fans everywhere, celebrated composer made welcome return to his beloved rhythmic vernacular with emphasis on aggressive orchestral ostinatos dominated by real percussion, low brass and strings. Electronics, a staple of Goldsmith’s post-1980’s writing, play a more subordinate role in this score, typically used to just add subtle exotic color in suspense sequences. Powerhouse fortissimo action music, thundering ideas usually take the spotlight. While entire augmented brass section of Goldsmith’s London orchestra gets an incredible workout, the wall of French horns commands special attention! Score also brings about welcome return to the composer’s then-long dormant busy style of string writing, especially exhilarating during action sequences. Decca label released a solid 57-minute album at time of film’s release but interestingly composer and engineer Bruce Botnick dropped every cue from entire mid-section of film, comprising film reels 8, 9, 10 and portions of 11. New 2-CD expanded premiere on Intrada includes every one of those previously unreleased cues which include stunning action material for “The Flies”, the fierce “Sand Storm” music, the riveting final “Escape From The Tomb” and the dramatic “The Prep Room” sequence. Highlighting the generous array of new music are two versions of the 5-minute action cue “The Locusts”, a stand-out piece reminding fans of Goldsmith’s sizzling action voice in a look backwards that the composer rarely chose to do. Film version appears with busier ending while unused version has stream-lined ending but lengthier middle-section. Two different approaches to one great previously-unreleased cue! After full 91-minute score concludes on first portion of CD 2, nearly 10 minutes of additional alternates play, followed by Decca’s original 1999 album of highlights. Bruce Botnick personally remixed entire expanded score from the original Sony 3348 format 48-track digital scoring session masters, courtesy Universal Pictures and Universal Music Enterprises, a division of UMG. Audio sonics are magnificent with instrumental detail not previously audible. On a score this massive, it makes quite a difference. Jeff Bond provides compelling liner notes, Intrada art director Kay Marshall assembles colorful package with flipper-style booklet cover allowing listener to choose original Decca artwork of the sand storm sequence or alternate campaign featuring the principal cast. Goldsmith’s last truly major work given the royal treatment! Mike Ross-Trevor engineers scoring sessions, Bruce Botnick engineers film and album mixes, Jerry Goldsmith composes and conducts augmented 90-piece London orchestra plus Ambrosian Singers.

Richard Penna 3,687 Posted July 17, 2018 Share Posted July 17, 2018 Are the End Credits after the love theme part an edit or an original cue? I can't place the Imhotep quote, but everything else sounds tracked to me, and the transition between The Caravan and the final bit doesn't quite match the film, suggesting to me that Intrada have recreated it. A little confused about what's going on there. And the description mentions Goldsmith dropping every cue from the midsection - I think that lends credence to that being the part Goldsmith didn't agree to score originally, and therefore didn't want on the album.

I don't understand why it seems Intrada decided to recreate the end credits as heard in the film. It's not true to how Goldsmith scored it! Varese did this same shit on the Star Trek: Nemesis 2-CD by recreating that bizarre end credits edit when the album version would have sufficed. If LLL decided to include the film version of ID4's end credits in the main program and left the album version in the bonus tracks section, I would have screamed so loud, the earth's ears would be ringing.

Aw man. I was excited to buy a complete score release that I could just play the actual CDs straight through, without having to make my own edit. They even split the score over 2 discs to keep it C&C (as opposed to the E.T. and Close Encounters approach). BLARG! Is the original album version of "The Sand Volcano" the whole finale as written? Maybe on disc 2 this is salvageable by playing track 1 followed by track 20? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Holko 9,526 Posted July 17, 2018 Share Posted July 17, 2018 If it's true, it could have been an interesting experiment to try and place Goldsmith's original intended 70 minutes on Disc 1, and the rest of the cues he was "forced" to write on Disc 2 - a bit similarly to Close Encounters, except indicating the complete order in the booklet.. Also, source cues seem to be missing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But the music omitted from the album is a good clue, as it's mostly the underscore cues from the middle of the film and together with a few missing short action cues, comes to 30 mins, which is what he's said to have done extra. Problem is, there are a lot of random quotes and 'reports' around the forum, but no solid verifiable information. it's about as difficult as finding the quotes regarding Goldsmith not liking the film or the scoring process.

I too am a little annoyed about the re-created End Credits for some releases IE: The Mummy, Star Trek Nemesis, Star Trek Into Darkness instead of using their original versions. I mean yes for Star Trek Nemesis the revised "A New Ending" was used in the film AND on the OST. The full revised album version of said cue should have been used on the Deluxe Edition in the main program and not the re-created film version. BTW I wonder if "Airplane Ride" will be an unused version. In the film / isolated score it was tracked from "Rebirth". Unlucky Bastard 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Disco Stu 15,495 Posted July 17, 2018 Share Posted July 17, 2018 I liked that they included the end credits edit for Star Trek Into Darkness. It was my gateway into the score, as they often are. If it comes down to "we're out of room, we're not going to 2 (or 3) discs, something's got to go" then yeah of course they should be the first to go. But otherwise, I like them being included.

Jay 37,355 Posted July 17, 2018 Share Posted July 17, 2018 The debate isn't about if end credits should be included or not. The debate is about when a composer writes the end credits one way, but then in the final film the music editors change stuff around from how he intended it... and then a specialty label CD replicates the music editor's hackjob instead of the composer's intentions.
