Danny Elfman's DOLORES CLAIBORNE (1995) - 2020 Varese Deluxe Edition

First of all, DOLORES CLAIBORNE is a great score and film. It's right there in intersection between the more consonant Elfman and when he was trying to be more contrapuntal.

 

Second, the original Varese is actually fine. Presents the perfect, balanced "bleak and harsh, but also beautiful" journey before overstaying its welcome. I also owned the old promo programme back in the day , which expanded the material of the OST with some 30 minutes or so. It's not bad, but it's a TAD on the long side, given the nature of the music. I might -- just MIGHT -- have considered getting this if it was a straight commercial reissue of the 60-minute promo programme, but obviously this goes even beyond that, as is the custom these days.

Not for people who'd like to hear the full score.

 

Fortunate, then, that I do not speak for them. :D

I sat on this CD for five days before I got a chance to rip it, and I still had to type the info and submit it to Gracenote, so wtf you guys!  Am I the only person who bought this CD?

 

At least Darkman was on there.

I bought it, but Varese has yet to actually send it to me.

You STILL haven't received this!?😗

I'm. ' Thor' on this one. Ost is fine ( but I might have purchased a SINGLE disc expansion)

I got it long ago; not long after posting that, if I recall correctly.

I just took the shrinkwrap off and am listening to any form of this outside the Music For A Darkened Theater suite for the first time

 

A couple minutes into the first track, I'm LOVING IT

This is perfect autumn listening!

 

Looking at the back cover now....

 

Why is there a "Mackie Interrogates Pt. 1", but no Part 2 anywhere?

 

Why is there an alternate called "Broken Glass Pt. 2 (Alternate Version)", but there is no track called "Broken Glass" anywhere?

 

The liner notes provide no answers (they don't mention a single track or cue title)

Yea I really enjoyed my listen today.  What a nice, moody score.

 

Anyone have any idea what's up with those track titles?

I've never seen the film.
