Jurassic Shark 12,055 Posted February 21, 2021 Share Posted February 21, 2021 So he died just after being released? Bummer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We fought to include that because of the chorus.

I'm sure Thor has absolutely no opinion on that omission Correction for the record. Townson didn't own Varese... ever (even though he tells the world he did). Chris Kuchler did until he sold the company to Cutting Edge and yes, the fees for choral pieces are super expensive. Townson also didn't write the checks. Chris did. One little tidbit....ever go to his website or read a presser about him? He writes a lot of that stuff about himself. Up until Cutting Edge bought the company, Varese did not have a publicist. So anytime you see something written about him, bet that he wrote it. Richard Penna and Jurassic Shark 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jurassic Shark 12,055 Posted June 1, 2021 Share Posted June 1, 2021 I appreciate the new release, but do anybody else think the OST is a good, succinct listening experience? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brundlefly 2,385 Posted June 1, 2021 Share Posted June 1, 2021 It could have been, if it had just 15 min more music. A bunch of substantial cues, let's say... Terms Mother Russia The First Hostage Get Off My Plane Radek's Release ...and it would have been a well rounded listening experience that even Thor would still have liked.

Jurassic Shark 12,055 Posted June 1, 2021 Share Posted June 1, 2021 Which 15 minutes would you add? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brundlefly 2,385 Posted June 1, 2021 Share Posted June 1, 2021 A few of the subdued, threatening cues - such as "Terms" and "The First Hostage", more of the russian theme - which means "Mother Russia" and "Radek's Release", and the one remaining great action cue "Get Off My Plane". Just as an example, given the premise that the OST probably wouldn't feature any of the McNeely material. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jurassic Shark 12,055 Posted June 1, 2021 Share Posted June 1, 2021 I don't mind including McNeely material. Yavar Moradi 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brundlefly 2,385 Posted June 1, 2021 Share Posted June 1, 2021 That'd be 13 tracks and 49 minutes on the OST, which is - I dare say - enough. 4 minutes ago, Jurassic Shark said: I don't mind including McNeely material. Of course, this was just hypothetically the 1997 program that could have been. Aside from the huge re-use fees, at the time there never seemed to be any interest to include any material composed by "Goldsmith's little helpers" on the commercial releases.

Jay 37,346 Posted June 1, 2021 Author Share Posted June 1, 2021 @Brundlefly is exactly right - take the 30 minutes Jerry was able to include, add those 5 cues he listed, and you have a pretty damn great original OST album Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IMO they’re some of the best stuff in the score! Yavar Tom Guernsey and ChrisAfonso 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jay 37,346 Posted June 1, 2021 Author Share Posted June 1, 2021 Which tracks specifically do you mean? Oh wait, I either read brundlefly's post too fast, or he changed which cues he listed, or I just got track titles mixed up. The next 3 cues I would add to the OST program are Radek's Release, The Dogfight, and Air Force One In Trouble, for sure. If Jerry had been told he could craft a 45 minute album instead of 35 I betcha he would have picked those as well. Yavar Moradi 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
