Popular Post Archive Collection 214 Posted June 25, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted June 25, 2019 I thought I'd share my own custom album programming of the Superman: The Movie score. Essentially, this is what I would have put out, if I was in charge of putting out an album of the score in 2019. This is mostly a compilation of everything from the 2018-19 La La Land Releases. If anyone else has made their own playlist or edit, I'd love to see it! Any thoughts, comments or suggestions are welcomed! SUPERMAN: THE MOVIE (CUSTOM 3-CD EDITION) Disc One: THE FILM SCORE Theme From Superman (Extended Version) 1 Prelude and Main Title The Planet Krypton Destruction of Krypton 2 The Trip To Earth Growing Up 3 Jonathan's Death Leaving Home The Fortress Of Solitude The Mugger Lex Luthor's Lair The Helicopter Sequence The Burglar Sequence and Chasing Crooks The Cat Rescue and Air Force One 1 - This is a custom edit, combining the first section of the Alternate Main Title with the End Title March. It extends the piece to just under six minutes. The original arrangement closes Disc 2. 2 - This is a custom edit, maintaining the originally intended cross-over into 'The Krypton Quake'. 3 - This is a custom edit, replicating the 2008 Blue Box presentation of this track. Disc Two: THE FILM SCORE The March Of The Villains The Penthouse The Flying Sequence 4 Clark Loses His Nerve The Truck Convoy and Miss Teschmacher Helps To The Lair Trajectory Malfunction Luthor's Lethal Weapon Chasing Rockets The Golden Gate Bridge and The Rescue Of Jimmy Pushing Boulders and Flying To Lois Turning Back The World The Prison Yard and End Title Love Theme From Superman 4 - This is the instrumental version, but is not labeled as such. Disc Three: ALTERNATES AND ADDITIONAL MUSIC Prelude and Main Title (Original Version) The Planet Krypton (Original Version) The Dome Opens (Original Version) The Fortress Of Solitude (Alternate Segment) Trajectory Malfunction (Alternate Version) Turning Back The World (Alternate Version) Can You Read My Mind (Original Version) Sunday Meeting (Source Music) Kansas High School (Source Music) Kansas Kids (Source Music) Late Night Country Music (Source Music) Luthor's Luau (Source Music) Lois' Pad (Source Music) Desert Riff (Source Music) Lois' Car Radio (Source Music) Kids On The Bus (Source Music) Can You Read My Mind (Instrumental Version) Theme From Superman (Concert Version) As far as I know, this is the complete score. I have left off any "Film Mixes" of the Main/End Titles, because I don't think they add too much to the set list. There are already many appearances of the Main Theme, and they wouldn't add enough of a substantial change. I also considered adding the 'Original Sound Track' Album as a Disc Four, but decided not to. Instead, I keep it as a seperate Release in my iTunes Library. Its strength lies in being a succinct and selective presentation of Williams' score, and tacking it onto the end of a 3-CD presentation wouldn't do it justice. It should be enjoyed as its own collection. Ricard, _deleted_ and The Illustrious Jerry 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bollemanneke 3,334 Posted June 25, 2019 Share Posted June 25, 2019 I stopped customising my albums a few months ago. It took some time to re-adjust to certain track corders, but it meant less work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thor 7,459 Posted June 25, 2019 Share Posted June 25, 2019 I only do this when I have no other choice, i.e. when there is no OST assembled by the composer or producer. In this case, a perfectly fine one exists (the original Warner CD), so I really have no need to make a playlist out of SUPERMAN. But I have looooong list of other C&C-only soundtracks that I need to 'whittle down' to a decent playlist, once time and energy allows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
