Put all album tracks in the main programme (except "Mumia Attack", "Rebirth" and "My Favourite Plague" - see below). Lower all Intrada complete score tracks by -3db. Retain "Giza Port", because the Intrada disc 1 version has a choir overlay at 1:31. Edit "The Warden's Bag" into the album mix of "Mumia Attack". Use "My Favorite Plague (Original Version)" instead of the OST track, because the latter seems to be included in the former - the volume is on level of the OST tracks for disc 2 track 5. Delete "Airplane Ride". "Rebirth" is very slightly extended at some points in comparison with the OST version - either choose the complete Intrada version or the OST mix. Delete "End Credits" and be sure to use "The Sand Volcano" from the OST. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1977 1,743 Posted February 24, 2020 Share Posted February 24, 2020 I just listen to the OST and the DVD easter egg isolated score. The suite on the Blue Max Tadlow re-recording is pretty sweet too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brundlefly 2,385 Posted March 1, 2020 Author Share Posted March 1, 2020 Well, for the mix I'd always take the OST. But this assembly serves to provide the compromise between an improved and a complete program. Yavar Moradi 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WampaRat 1,105 Posted June 2, 2021 Share Posted June 2, 2021 I’m strongly considering buying this and Mummy Returns since I missed them both last time. Good idea?

Brundlefly 2,385 Posted June 2, 2021 Author Share Posted June 2, 2021 They are by far the worst that Intrada has put out in recent time - which doesn't mean a lot since they're usually doing a great job, but in this case there are some serious issues concerning the presentation, the mix, sonic artifacts, volume dips, the cover and the liner notes. I'd gratefully buy a newly mixed and mastered release on par with the usual Intrada quality. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WampaRat 1,105 Posted June 2, 2021 Share Posted June 2, 2021 I’m hesitant to ask because I’m not much of an audiophile. I tend to not notice some irregularities until they’re pointed out. 😬But what kind of issues does Mummy Returns have? Do the finale tracks at least sound better than this?

Not as bad as that version, but they don't sound as good as the other parts.

But yeah, they're definitely below par. Yes, I did that for part of The Tuaregs Attack and the end credits. For most of it I got used to the new mix, but it does rotate the soundscape somewhat, hiding some instruments more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Holko 9,526 Posted June 2, 2021 Share Posted June 2, 2021 Wow. I couldn't live with the suddenly raised noise level at the end of Camel Race or the insane amateur (demaster-level, those have this issue too) seconds-long phasing for an edit between takes for Night Boarders.

WampaRat 1,105 Posted June 2, 2021 Share Posted June 2, 2021 I wonder if some of these issues have been rectified on both scores since they are both on their second pressing(?) I suppose they would make mention of that though huh... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard Penna 3,688 Posted June 2, 2021 Share Posted June 2, 2021 I don't think there's anything to rectify... the static at the end of Camel Race was apparently always there, and the different mix is just that. The only thing I'd have changed would've been to dump that unnecessary end credits edit and put on a clean version of the love theme opening. And the only issue with Returns is the subpar sound quality on the climax cues, which clearly were just recorded badly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brundlefly 2,385 Posted June 3, 2021 Author Share Posted June 3, 2021 The OST track of Camel Race sounds exactly as clear and crisp as the C&C track and still you hear nothing that shouldn't be there. I replaced a lot of the C&C tracks with OST tracks. Luckily, the tracks with really bad issues all have their OST counterparts. The mix from 1999 is just much more professionally balanced. The 2018 mix ranges from spot-on to weird distortion or brickwalling. The main issue on several occasions, however, is all the instruments fighting for the center of attention.

publicist 4,643 Posted June 3, 2021 Share Posted June 3, 2021 The new mix on The Mummy is a bit more dirty, lively sounding, not smooth/polished like the Decca - which probably was the point, since the Decca was included. Whatever happened to The Mummy Returns doesn't affect the L. A. sessions only, i once did a 1:1 comparison of an OST track, Scorpion Shoes, i believe, and that sounded muffled on the Intrada, but fine on the Decca. The most glaring thing is a narrow stereo field, i. e. in Canyon Deluge, and no one can sell me that they did a QC on that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Jay 37,363 Posted October 28, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted October 28, 2022 We watched this film last weekend, my first time seeing it in 20+ years. Possibly only the second time I saw it after I saw it in theaters 23 1/2 years ago. Wow, Jerry's score fits the film like a glove! The film is OK; a little clunky at times, but very earnest - and Jerry plays everything straight, which is just what it needed to gel everything together. It really helps the film's drive and momentum. This has never been a favorite Jerry score of mine, but I had listened to it a few times, and one problem I always had with it was that the themes never stuck with me at all after any listen; I never had anything from it running through my head, nothing I was left humming. But watching the film last weekend, I feel like I finally started to parse out what the different themes are and what they represent, and look forward to re-listening to the expanded presentation again now!

mstrox 6,651 Posted October 28, 2022 Share Posted October 28, 2022 That’s interesting to hear, only because this is one of Jerry’s only scores in which the themes DO stick with me. Yavar Moradi and Giftheck 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jay 37,363 Posted October 28, 2022 Share Posted October 28, 2022 Huh, it looks like I never posted here when I did, but last month I took the shrinkwrap off my copy of the Intrada release and listened to it and really liked it. I'm not familiar enough with this score to have noticed any issues nor was I blasting it at a loud enough volume where any issues may have been noticeable. I just played the 2 discs as they are and really enjoyed it. I want to listen again now that I've revisited the movie! Yavar Moradi 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
