Score sounds promising, what do we get 15 minutes? Gotta make room for fart songs.

Yeah... especially since there is some new CD mediums which can only hold 35 minutes of music... (Infinitely Polar bear is another score similiarly butchered while there was more than enough space left to actually include the complete score and songs together on the same disc). If anyone actually gets to see the movie, don't forget to reveal how much score there actually is in the film...


Btw, short suite from the score is available at http://www.theodore-shapiro.com


the suite is terrific. I love how he mixes traditional orchestra with some nice retro keyboards like Wurlitzer and 8 bit synth sounds.

Just came back from the movie and thought the score was awesome. If anybody ever hears about an expansion of this "three track" score, please let me know.

I really like the three tracks and even find the vocals to be nicely done in the context of the rest of it. Really looking forward to the full version getting a release sometime soon.

The clips sound amazing. There's all this talk about WW being the definitive summer superhero score but I'll take CU for its overtly thematic writing and terrific orchestral excitement

ok... separate score album is indeed coming later this week... you can compare tracklists of both versions at http://www.theodore-shapiro.com

Here is the score album release:

https://itunes.apple.com/us/album/captain-underpants-first-epic-movie-original-motion/id1244467193

Does Backlot release to other platforms at higher bitrates as well? Like 7Digitial or HDTracks? I don't mind paying for digital-only, but I'd rather not do it for low quality M4As.

Sorry to bump this thread with a similar question, but has anyone been able to find the score release anywhere other than iTunes? HDTracks and 7Digital don't seem to be selling it.

This is, bar none, without a doubt, the BEST score I have heard so far this year!

I highly recommend it.

Why does the opening post say Varese Sarabande will be releasing the score? I haven't found evidence of this anywhere.

I really hope there's a CD version in the works. The entire score is too good NOT to be on CD...

I could not agree more. Dynamic, assured, and such development of the key themes. I also love the way Shapiro moves between the full orchestral material and the intimate, 80s synth stuff. It's such an interesting spin on the convention.

I've been a huge fan of Shapiro for some time now and I dearly hope this opens possibilities of him tackling blockbuster action films like the MCU or, heck I will say it, the Star Wars universe because the guy can frickin' write!!!

Well... it was posted back then and it is still listed even now...
http://www.imdb.com/company/co0017459/

I really hope that the CD will be available one day as well... since this might be his best score to date... or a very strong candidate for nr. 1.

I suppose it is unfortunately very unlikely after this Back Lot thing... Or what are the chances for a limited edition from LLL? smile

Not feeling the love for this one. Yeah, it sounds kinda big and orchestral, but it's sorta mickey mousey and there's no progression of ideas. Just short busts of energy. The score as a whole doesn't develop into anything. Some promising tracks are ruined with midi sounding music too.
