Also, is there certainty on what material from the 80-voice choir is or is not on the album?
Desplat recorded two hours of music. I assume there's 40 minutes of missing music from the film and the rest alternates (the BTS photos from scoringsessions shows an alternate version of The Wave being recorded).

Hope the released CD album is a good source of highlights.
Loved the film, wonderful to see it stick to the roots of true Godzilla flicks. I have two questions for those familiar with the film and the cd (I haven't gotten to listen just yet). 1. Does anyone know the exact recording of the Ligeti piece used in the film, and if it's available for purchase? And 2. My favorite scored moment in the film was the sobering piano chords accompanying G's arrival to the nest area. Is that moment on the cd anywhere? It just was this great quiet moment for this crazy visual..

Unfortunely is not. That would be the cue Chinatown/Egg Laying/Faceoff as it's labeled in one of the sheets from the BTS footage of the score. Which it comes before Entering The Nest, that it's included in the CD.
I haven't seen the movie yet (avoided the trailers, too) but I picked up the CD today and hot damn, the score is phenomenal. I wasn't sure if Desplat had it in him to do the big guy justice, but wow, color me impressed. Definitely a contender for score-of-the-year so far. Can't wait to check out the movie next weekend to hear it in context.

After seeing the movie today (finally!), I'm even more impressed with Desplat's score. It fit the film like a glove, and I love his spotting technique in the battle sequences. It wasn't wall-to-wall as one might expect with this type of movie. Desplat obviously gets that silence is as important as sound and hit this one out of the park in both departments.
