Yup, I always knew some of the score's best cues were left off...

I never understood why some of the best bits of a score were left off the album. I can think of many examples of this.
Working within a set album length, I would surmise that the desire to present variety was prioritized. Thus a bit more of the mickey-mousey music was included for contrast with all the dramatic stuff. But now we thankfully have every cue, and the dramatic development is all intact.

I will consider upgrading AFTER
APOLLO THIRTEEN is released.
Priorities.

Isn't it also the case a lot of times an album must be constructed before the score is completed? Not saying that is the case here.
I like this logic, that often OSTs seek to present variety rather than all the highlights necessarily (especially since often the highlights in these kinds of scores are the action set pieces). I'm quite happy and grateful than complete scores are a more accessible option nowadays, but it does often lead me to appreciate how the album was arranged.
Especially considering Goldsmith's response to why certain fun cues were left off Congo's album. "Go listen to Rambo."

Finally gave this a listen all the way through.
It's the least compelling of Horner's animation music for me (along with Once Upon a Forest), but keep in mind, cartoon Horner is my favorite Horner, so this still obviously would rank highly enough for me to grab this release without question!
A few of the one-minute cues can stand to be taken out (Muk and Luk's Arrival doesn't contribute anything to musical narrative beyond the composer trying to figure why Phil Collins as two polar bears is supposed to be funny, and the two short action cues at the end just kind of rudely intrude between "Heritage of the Wolf" and the finale), but this release is still wholly worth it for the sound upgrade. Hot diggety, is it nice to finally able to actually, well, hear the darn music!
I do hope the Fievel scores get this treatment someday, but until then, this'll suffice!

I doubt, and hope not, that there's enough extras/alternates to warrant a third disc for those!

I really had to edit the heck out of this score. Just like the film is peppered with annoying comedy though out, so is the score peppered with Mickey Mousey music. Though it's in the minority, it is all over the place. I managed to cut most of it out.
Tracks like Muk and Luk were removed altogether. I agree The Avalanche and Ice Cave kinda interrupts the flow of the original OST sequencing. But I like both cues and kept them in. Though I did cross-fade them into one track.
I also like some of the album cues over the film score cues and switched them out. So glad both were offered on this release. It took a little effort editing out bits and pieces here and there but all said and done I love the score and have been playing it constantly.

I like the comedy music. Adds emotional variety.

Am I to assume you prefer the film version of Balto Brings the Medicine? I'm surprised Intrada didn't include that version in the main program.
