Please make it happen RoboCop 2 The Deluxe Edition for Varese Sarabande Club for future release I know some you are not big fans RoboCop 2 and Leonard Rosenman who did score of RoboCop 2. This what I say about RoboCop 2 well its good films it not best sequel ever made and also score was not best music then first RoboCop and I know Basil Poledouris did RoboCop 1 & 3 Expanded Edition been release now we been wait for second RoboCop 2 Expanded Edition please make it happen it on my wish list
I actually tend to like Rosenman's score. It's just the choral burst of "Robocop!" that makes me cringe!
Oh, is that what they're saying? I thought it was just "la-la-la" filler. It would have to be more striking like Robert Goulet singing "Robocop!" (like "Camelot!") for me to notice it. Rosenman added choral music to a few other scores which I've played alot so I guess I'm accustomed to it. The recordings survived (there's a longer copy floating around) so unavailability isnt the reason why an expanded or complete version wasnt released.
That's it? I remember there being quite a lot of music for a two hour movie, but I could be wrong! I'd love an expanded release, especially for a rather lengthy cue, if I recall correctly. Hopefully there are a few good alternates available as well!
Well, the time is based upon somebody else's timing who ripped the full score from DVD. But I suspect there will be a little un-used score and some alternates.
two cues are combined here the last cue before the end credits and the end credits
What you hear is what was written in the full score the choir has not been included - even though they were in the score and even had the lyrics written for it
I thought the End Credits was the 6 minute overture? Oops, I guess that's why the reconstruction youtube video says "not finished."
Now that both of the Basil Poledouris-scored "RoboCop" movies have expanded editions, is an expanded "RoboCop 2" possible? Was all the music in the movie (which is way too violent for me to re-watch) on the Varese Sarabande CD?
I know a lot of people hate this score, but I really like it a lot.
Very good idea! I have difficulties listening to the music of Rosenman, but I liked his contribution to the Verhoeven Sequel. The 06:02 min Overture is a proof. In the beginning the strings are a bit enervating but then the mood suddenly changes with the piano. You need time to come into this score but it is worth giving it a second chance. His most enjoyable music may be the music for Star Trek IV. Maybe some label will release it expanded in the near future.
1. You don't know if that was the original intent of the composer..
It was his choice and was made based on the fact it was in the form of a overture.

And see point number two, Ford. Re-read if necessary. Furthermore it was a reply to somebody else. I don't really give two flips about everybody knowing or not knowing something, or the choice of a composer once an an old release decades ago.

I should have checked the website of Soundtrack! magazine first. They have the information:

If the runtime is based on a PAL version of the film (25 fps), then it should be 4% longer in reality. Runtime should be 64:32 minutes.
