I love this score and am very happy it now has a complete edition!
Maybe "Astride The Ant" is a different take than the version of the cue that makes up the second half of the track "Flying Szalinki". We'll see!

These credits are often not required to be included in the liner notes for a CD.
Credited or not, the lift is self-evident, egregiously obvious.

Such a mixed bag of a score. I can be a big time Horner apologist, but this score is really frustrating at times. Take the "Ant Rodeo" cue...it's shocking how much of a copy/paste it is of "Rustling" from Natty Gann. If Horner actually physically wrote all that out again for this movie, I'm impressed! As a bonus you get to near Neville's theme from The Rocketeer for the first time at the start!
Then there's the reuse of the "Chimp Rumble" music from Project X...it works wonderfully, but it's hard to look past it. On top of the borrowed "homages" to Rota, Scott, and even Grusin...it can be a bit embarrassing as a fan to say he kind of sold out on this one.
But yes...I'm interested!
Hate to break it to you but Rustling/Ant Rodeo is actually a lift from Copeland's Appalachian Spring (that appears again in Fievel Goes West). Nevelle's theme from "The Rocketeer" also first appeared in Captain EO.
Not that I'm meaning to pour gasoline on a fire but facts are facts here. Honey is one of the few scores where the lifts sort of get under my skin but its like I said above: temp track bleed, more than anything else, is the name of the game in this score.
What's funny is I've always heard the story it was the Rota estate, not the Scott estate, that sued. Some wild rumors have gotten out of the control over the years. Like numation said there's not one shred of evidence anyone sued over Honey.
I've also read the same as neumation about the cue sheets. No doubt Horner was given marching orders to use what he used and it was okayed legally.

It was intended to be self-evident and egregiously obvious, which is the joke. It’s clearly a deliberate reference to Golden Age cartoon. Horner was instructed to interpolate it into his score.
My apologies. I was referring to Master Composer Nino Rota.

Has anyone compared the sound quality to the previous release?

Funny thing happened, my copy shipped from Intrada in California, passed Minnesota where I live, to New York and back to Minnesota today.
I had one go via Burkina Faso. So the tracking said.

The JAMES HORNER flood doesnt end....
I certainly hope not. I'm still waiting for reissues of 'House of Cards' and 'A Far Off Place'!
