Once Upon A Forest?

I can never remember how complete the expanded Aliens is, but I don't think there is anything major missing, is there?

Now that we've gotten An American Tail, Balto and The Land Before Time in complete form, I hope Fievel Goes West is next. smile

I updated my initial post with everyone's contributions and added The Karate Kid.
My top three expansions at this time are Fievel Goes West, Glory and Mighty Joe Young.

I think the only thing missing was the source cue that replaced Horner's original cue for the drop sequence. And that wasn't written by him. The rest of the score was complete. Someone please correct me if I am wrong. Though that score was so heavily edited, the score sometimes feels like a totally different beast. But I vastly prefer the Varese expansion with Horner's original version over the Cameron bluray rip I have of the Cameron butchered film edit.

I think Aliens could benefit from a redo though. More fans should be able to grab it and the sound on that release is not that great when comparing it to the releases we have gotten now in the last decade.

As I said before on a previous incarnation of this subject, there are still some Horner scores unreleased. So, while I am always grateful for expansions and significantly improved masterings, I personally would prefer to see more of the unreleased stuff done.

You forgot to add The Pelican Brief to that list.

I hope someone at Varese reads this thread, if only so the penny might finally drop regards an eventual Brainstorm expansion.

As far as Brainstorm, other than one brief choral cue, and some electronic source music, I am pretty sure the Varese LSO recording contains the whole score.

That said, I'd love to see a release of the actual LA-recorded soundtrack, as this is a score that is worthy of more than one performance.

Brainstorm is a re-recording of the score, not the original cues.

The film mix on some cues is very different than the album presentation. Queen to Bishop has the horns dialed way down on the CD and Going After Newt takes the emphasis off the drums. The main titles are also different on album.

Some of his early TV scores remain unreleased

Glory is worthy of an expansion as well as The Grinch.

Field of dreams is a perfect album

Young Guns.
Romeo and Juliet.

Any other rejected scores that were recorded and not released?

Horner himself blocked a release of Young Guns as I recall. I've heard the one cue rerecorded by Tony Hinnigan and the most prominent theme would be used in The Mask of Zorro while the rest made me think it would be in the Thunderheart vein. Still would love to hear it. You can find it on Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/track/6WxtSJ5V6on2WhCqKCRGvi?si=EeMPcK4wRHuIwwDhbuwxLA

Streets of Fire supposedly was fully recorded before it was thrown out. I say supposedly because I've heard what is purported to be a clip from that score but it sounded like a verbatim mishmash of Commando and Another 48 Hours so its legitimacy is in question to me.

Regarding Brainstorm, my memory is a bit hazy--has Varese ever released a score that had both a film recording and a rerecording (a la The Fury)?

Not only have they done that, but they were the first label to do it for The Fury. wink

Other examples include Goldsmith’s Justine and Damien: Omen II.

Streets of Fire, is one I'd like to see.

I had a ten minute mp3 at one time, which was definitely its own thing. It was in the style of his Gorky Park / 48hrs percussion tracks, but it developed into a steady 4/4 rock beat which carried on for most of it. I liked it a lot.

I stand corrected. This also explains why the isolated blu-ray tracks always sounded more than just tracked and hacked up edits to me! Guess that rip is still worth holding onto then.

Swing Kids

A Beautiful Mind


I've been listening to A Beautiful Mind quite a lot recently. Really like that score, though the current album is a lengthy offering as is. Good film too.
