...Most of the cues included on the FSM disc were monaural...

From the FSM site
http://www.filmscoremonthly.com/cds/detail.cfm/CDID/186/French-Connection-French-Connection-II-The/

"...The sequel score is entirely in stereo; the original is mostly stereo with some mono cues. Sound quality is clear throughout and the booklet notes explain exactly where the deleted cues were meant to go."


Well that takes care of the pedantry; now open the conveniently-stored master tapes box and re-release the damn thing (as described in my previous post)!

By the way, the music that really stuck with me ever since I saw the film for the first time was, as is the case with many, the "Subway" track. What great music! Nearly a normal groove track, but it's almost like it's played badly, with some of the instruments lagging behind, just like Popeye Doyle puffing heavily as he runs through the streets, and just veering off-key. That's interesting to listen to! The liner notes state that the only master that could be found had the trumpet solo coming in towards the end. I've always wondered if that means that the same cue was used in the film but with the trumpet solo "removed", or "before it was overdubbed" or something. I know that the cues were chopped and changed a lot for the final version of the film, but do the liner notes mean that the music for that cue is actually heard in the film but without the trumpet? I was really familiar with the groove and the piano, which are prominent on their own before the trumpet, so I don't know if maybe it's only the pre-trumpet bit that's used in the film. Or is it actually the full piece in the film with the trumpet gone?



Quoting m'self here - I just LURV the sound of my own droning. So, does anyone know if the new release has that cue as heard in the film (without the trumpet "overdub" - if that's what it was)? I notice that some of the timings and titles differ from the FSM, plus there are bonus tracks on the newby. I tried to find the info on the appropriate page, but drew a blank due to my incompetence, probably.

maybe it's just me, as usual...



That is brilliant.

I didnt touch the tool sound effect, but did add the music afterwards to demonstrate the similarity (if it was in the movie at that spot, then the connection would have been obvious). Anyway, seems like more than odd coincidence.
