I'm all up for HOME ALONE, as I do not own any previous release of this soundtrack.

The original HOME ALONE album is just perfect the way it is (even the mix of score and songs), but here is actually a case where a few extra score cues wouldn't hurt the overall listening experience. I wish there was a way to just download individual cues.

Well, the original HOME ALONE album is included in the set, so I'll have both an expanded version and the original album cut. Perfect. :-)

Forgive me if this has been mentioned, but I can remember a time -- not 20 years ago -- when people were complaining about the 30-minute albums from Varese. Too short, people said. Now, we're complaining about longer releases? Really?

Do fans of other genres of music ever express confusion over fellow fans' desire to hear more music by their favorite artists, or is it just a weird soundtrack thing??

I believe there's an expansion coming out from Varese next week, complete with 12 psychiatrists in a round table on the nature of hate and 23 variations of the phrase 'I hate you all' spoken by Stephen Fry. It's all in mono though, so that could be a turn-off for some of us.

Precisely my point! More music from our favourite artists! Why is that not a good thing?

To be fair, it's only a microscopic number who are complaining. Those who have small attention fans. Those who prefer "fast food" film music to full gourmet meals.

I think it's likely there are more people who value listenability over completeness than it appears, although they are probably a minority. I count myself among them. What's undeniable, though, is that only a microscopic number think the topic deserves pages of repetitious discussion.

Erm...is it not logical that if you have a 30min 10 track Cd there is no choice. Is it not better then to have the full expansion and then those that want their own personally chosen 10 track album can make their own up???

Whats to discuss?

I guess it depends on the score. Some work best complete and chronological, others, especially those with constant versions of one theme which hardly vary, or lots of tiny cues, don't. Me personally, I tend to prefer complete and chronological, because I can still re-arrange the album for a better listening experience if I want. I don't really understand the complants about too much music when it's so easy to re-arrange and shorten albums.

38 pages worth of indulging these doofuses? Sad.

While there are a number of reasons why (more) complete and chronological presentations of film scores may be for purely musical reasons the best listening arrangement, it is by no means a given and I perfectly agree that there are excellent presentations of soundtracks that are neither complete nor chronological (though they tend to be at least comprehensive).

Be that as it may, I think on a discussion forum such as this it is perfectly acceptable to discuss this topic for not just 38, but hundreds of pages if one desires to do so. I mean, the topic of this particular thread is pretty evident, and everybody is free to join or leave at any time. So no problem there as far as I can see.

Totally agree. Despite the tedium of trawling through long posts with inevitable repetition, I see this thread as more in line with what this forum is about, or should be, than the many threads on such trivia as why 23 seconds was left off Track 3 of the latest Bond epic. A lot of careful thought and intelligent verbiage has gone on here, and if the subject is of no interest, well, don't click on it. But if threads like this are to be resisted and complained of until no one dares start one, I'll be following my esteemed friend estgrey and disappearing into the ether.

Not that anyone will miss me, of course.
