So glad you guys are excited by this release. To be honest with you, we didn't even think it was going to happen until we did Braveheart a few years back. We are deeply honored to have been able to bring this dream project to life with the full cooperation of Mr Horner's estate, agency, Fox, Paramount, Sony Music and Lightstorm (and we got it signed off on just as they started shooting the new Avatar films!). While it would have been nice to include the song, we were frankly told that IF we wanted to include it we may want to schedule the release for the 25th anniversary! lol
You can bemoan all you want about the song, but the fact is that our goal was to present the original score as Mr Horner recorded for the film. The song would have been nice, but beyond complicated.
We are film score fans. In the end, that's what matters the most.

You guys absolutely made the right decision then! 
I honestly can't thank you guys enough for what you do. Both Horner's Braveheart and Titanic were absolute cornerstones of my youth and were, without a doubt, why I became such a lover of film scores. To have these expanded editions is a dream come true. Right now, my thirteen year old self (in addition to the future 33 year old adult he would become) is giving you guys the biggest hugs you can imagine.

Well stated, John W, these two scores were a cornerstone for me in my youth, too. I also performed arrangements of Horner’s Titanic and Apollo 13 in high school band/orchestra, which made it all the more enjoyable. I hope these expanded editions continue.

Wow, I never knew about this additional piece of music in the film. I Googled Michael Stearns, and found the album "Encounter", which appears to be 52 minutes long. Does anyone know exactly which track was used in TITANIC, it's not credited on IMDB's page for the music in the film.
Yes. On the "Encounter" album, it is the start of track 3: "The Beacon (Those Who Have Gone Before)"
Thanks!!!

If you're a big enough TITANIC fan to buy this new set, then you already have the OST and BACK TO TITANIC. So you have to hold on to them, big deal. I would do that anyway, just for the booklets. And of course the song will go into my expanded-set playlist.
The funny thing is: if the new LLL were a 6-CD set for the same 50 bucks, with the OST and BTT included as bonus discs, we would complain about having to "buy them again."
I'm going to look at this, the six TITANIC discs taken altogether, as a box set without the box. That's how I view Intrada's four BATTLESTAR GALACTICA volumes plus the Varese/RSNO re-recording. A personal box set.

The original soundtrack has way too much sentimental value for me to ever consider getting rid of anyway. It’s not going anywhere.
