This has got to be one of my favourite scores of all time. I shelled out £50 a year or two ago to pick up a copy of the sold out CD but it was worth every penny. Now that this new release is available I can't wait to get my hands on it, and my order is in! I thought the sound quality on the original Percepto release was great, so to hear this version should be a treat. Does anyone know the main differences between the two releases? i.e. how much extra music is on the deluxe edition? Also, is it just me or are the clips up on Screen Archives named wrongly. e.g. "Piano Source" sounds just like "The First Look" from the original CD.    Posted:   Apr 14, 2007 - 2:27 AM     By:   peterproud   (Member) I was about to splurge on a copy of the old release on eBay - *phew* When Percepto posted clues last week I quietly hoped this would be their deluxe release, but had my doubts as I thought the original release was the entire score...guess not. This is an amazing score, get it before they're all gone...    Posted:   Apr 14, 2007 - 2:34 AM     By:   peterproud   (Member) I was about to splurge on a copy of the old release on eBay - *phew* When Percepto posted clues last week I quietly hoped this would be their deluxe release, but had my doubts as I thought the original release was the entire score...guess not.

ORDERED.    Posted:   Apr 14, 2007 - 11:29 AM     By:   DavidCoscina   (Member) thanks for posting this. I would have never known that this was available. Just ordered a copy myself. The Changeling is one of my all-time favorite horror films.    Posted:   Mar 24, 2008 - 3:15 PM     By:   Francis   (Member) I've been listening to The Changeling quite a lot the past couple of week and in doing so I wanted to revisit the movie. I had bought the movie long before hearing about it on the net. After all it was A. a horror movie (my favorite genre) B. featured George C. Scott (one of the greats) C. an early 80's movie (my favorite age of horror) When I first watched it didn't make it through the movie because I found it very boring and uneven. The pace was tiresome, the "ghost" not frightening and the story at first glance very stereotypical. However, last weekend I was bored and had a look through my collection in the hopes of finding something worthwile to watch. I came across the Changeling and decided I would give it a second chance. Again, it wasn't very scary but I have to admit the mystery and backstory aspect to the film was very intriguing and allthough it was obvious where it was leading up to, I enjoyed it (especially the seance scene). Also, anyone else felt the whole well bit was too reminiscent of "Ringu" (or The Ring?) Seems like "The Ring" is a bit a remake of a remake in itself I'm not sure if my appreciation was sparked on by me listening to the score or simply because I hadn't allowed this movie to persuade me the first time. One of the things that I did appreciate was the music aspect as being both score as well as realtime play by George C. Scott himself! Good stuff.    Posted:   Mar 24, 2008 - 3:41 PM     By:   pooter   (Member) This score remains one of my favourites and still manages to give the chills, as well as some brilliantly melodic cues. Never found the film boring though.    Posted:   Mar 24, 2008 - 4:04 PM     By:   Francis   (Member) Well as I said my second viewing of the movie was a better experience. However, I found the buildup to be too slow and a lot of dead moments in the movie. I have read rumours about Peter Medak wanting to do a remake of The Changeling. Although it would benefit from an update, it's source material has become such cliché in the genre I fear it wouldn't have the same impact it did. But I agree the score is amazing and does contribute a lot too this movie.    Posted:   Mar 24, 2008 - 5:38 PM     By:   The Mutant   (Member) I don't think it could be improved upon at all. It's fine just as it is. Why must everything be remade? And boring? are you serious?    Posted:   Mar 24, 2008 - 5:47 PM     By:   Lokutus   (Member) Never heard about the film. Just listened to the samples, bought a copy and I'm very happy with it ;-)    Posted:   Mar 24, 2008 - 5:49 PM     By:   MikeJ   (Member) This movie does not need to be remade... You know what really helps make the original work? The casting. If you can't get someone with the gravitas of George C. Scott to play the lead, the movie doesn't work.    Posted:   Mar 24, 2008 - 8:47 PM     By:   ryankeaveney   (Member) There is an ever-expanding list of films inspired by THE CHANGELING: THE SIXTH SENSE THE RING DARK WATER SHUTTER A remake would be a terrible idea. Few would realize THE CHANGELING was the original, not a pale knock-off!    Posted:   Mar 25, 2008 - 2:10 AM     By:   pooter   (Member) I dont think a remake is needed however, one good thing about having one would be that perhaps the original might get a decent DVD release in a special edition (or better still on Blu Ray)    Posted:   Mar 25, 2008 - 10:09 AM     By:   MikeJ   (Member) I think the Region 2 DVD release is still available with the director's commentary.    Posted:   Mar 25, 2008 - 10:24 AM     By:   Michael_McMahan   (Member) I agree Mike, the casting is great. This movie would not likely be served well as remake. It's steeped in a level of convincing atmosphere and dread that I've rarely seen in another movie. This one's really special, I'm dumbfounded that anyone could think it's a boring film in need of a remake. Easily one of my favorite horror cd's, too. NP: The Unseen (Michael J. Lewis)    Posted:   Mar 25, 2008 - 11:29 AM     By:   pooter   (Member) On the subject of remakes I dont have a problem with them being made. In fact I'd rather a remake happen of "The Changeling" than not just because I would be curious to see what they did. And a remake wouldnt necassarily ruin the original for me. I personally doubt that any attempt could 'hit the note' so to speak of the original. And how would they top that score? I can just imagine a boring synth backed atmosphere pad approach with occaisonal orchestra stabs when a CGI spook races up to the screen in super fast motion. Yawn!    Posted:   Aug 8, 2018 - 7:47 PM     By:   rcashill   (Member) Severin's excellent new Blu-ray of the film (limited edition) includes a CD of the score. Fantastic music: https://www.amazon.com/Changeling-George-Devere-Melvyn-Douglas/dp/B07DLJ39XB/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1533779146&sr=8-1&keywords=changeling+bluray&dpID=51mPdUxrU6L&preST=_SY300_QL70_&dpSrc=srch    Posted:   Aug 8, 2018 - 8:44 PM     By:   Last Child   (Member) You probably only need the one cd in the blu-ray release, but for the completest, the Deluxe Edition was reissued and UPGRADED by Creaturefeatures aka Percepto. I guess that makes it a Supreme release, with extra cheese in the crust. https://creaturefeatures.com/shop/cds/the-changeling-soundtrack/    Posted:   Aug 8, 2018 - 9:21 PM     By:   Jim Cleveland   (Member) Who da hell is Rick Wilkins??? I've never heard of him until I cliicked on this thread!    Posted:   Aug 8, 2018 - 9:32 PM     By:   Advise & Consent   (Member) Who da hell is Rick Wilkins??? I've never heard of him until I cliicked on this thread! A Canadian composer, shoehorned into the production for fiscal purposes, whose contributions still managed to be relevant. At the time, the socialistic Canadian government was giving very generous tax credits to movie productions, but with a few strings attached, namely the obligation to hire a number of local talent.     General Discussion: THE CHANGELING 2CD Deluxe Edition    < 1 2  > >>  Go to page:  1 2   First Post    General Discussion • Trading Post • Non-Film Score Discussion  Profile • Preferences • Community Rules • Help/Contact • Search Board You must log in or register to post.   Go to page:  1 2
