Debneys music for Seaquest deserved the Ron Jones box set treatment.I know that was never likely given that Seaquest wasnt nearly as popular Trek.

Davis's contributions to the series ( Especially season 2 when he became the main composer ) is also dererving of the box set treatment.

Heck, both of them deserved properly written liner notes with season approriate pictures and everything!

I think the whole debate/inquiry over the Season 2 photos has run its course. Doesn't sound like there was much they could've done about it.

They'd probably be better off not including ANY performer photos in Volume 2's booklet. Just use photos of seaQuest itself!

It's all about the music for me - if there's no photos left I'd settle for photos of Bryon Davis and Ford Thaxton chilling with drinks in or by a pool.

That'll probably be for the very limited edition SeaQuest Summertime "Sea-D" EP razz

My copy of this arrived last night - The shipping packaging has been upgraded to a higher quality coardboard encasing material. It was perfect.

The liner notes, and whole package is awesome. The music is stunning, and really enjoyed reading Debney's memories about getting the job, and the notes of praise from the show's Exec Producer on the music throughout. I really hope this is selling well. big grin


Thanks to everyone who worked on this one. It's a prized treasure in my soundtrack collection along with the original release.

And it's terrific! I was alarmed that the low key music under the opening credits was not included. I was relieved to see it is included later in the program as "Fireball / Amber". I guess they tracked the piece into the opening? I look forward to reprogramming this one - with less Workout and Hawaiian source music.

So cool to here the previously unreleased Intro music segue into the unused Bakersfield music that keeps the Intro sequence mixed underneath it.

I too noticed that the packaging was superior this time--they actually put some crumpled paper in there to keep things from shifting around (too much) and this was the first time I've not received a cracked case from them!

Here's to the small things!

You're lucky. My last two orders from them were thin, flat corrugated cardboard mailers without any protection inside. Thankfully, seaQuest arrived undamaged. However, I placed a newer order for titles in the clearance sale, and Family Plot arrived with multiple cracks and the hinges totally broken on the jewel case. Fortunately, the disc was fine, and there was nothing wrong with Cocoon: The Return.

Still, I e-mailed them, requesting a full refund on the shipping considering how badly it was packaged--and considering this is a regular occurrence for them ever since Naxos. I specifically called out how many similar complaints were reported on this board. Also, I happened to receive Minority Report from LLL the same day, so one of the photos I attached was LLL's padded mailer as an example of appropriate USPS First Class shipping.

That e-mail was a week ago today. Still haven't received a reply or saw any refund on my card.

I guess a follow-up e-mail will be getting sent tomorrow morning.

I have a question:

I used to have the OST of RUNNING MAN once, but I must have traded it away at some point for a score I liked better. I'd like to reacquire it now, but only if I can program the tracks into the original soundtrack programme. Is this possible, for those of you who own this? Or are the tracks so different that this is impossible?

Too many "film versions" / alt mixes. You should get the original if that's your bag. I'm sure prices will be coming down as people sell the old ones off.

I see, thanks. I was hoping to use this new release to program the OST because the sound quality is presumably better.

You can get close, but some tracks only exist in film versions which deviate a bit. New mix does sound pretty damned good.

If I can, like this time, I ordered from Intrada, they always package very nicely.
Never had an issue with Intrada, not once.
Yes, my Seaquest took a bit longer, but that is okay with me.

I’m always amazed that my varese discs make it from the states to here in Canada without even a crack despite the cheapest possible packaging.

Loving this Running Man disc. This score has never sounded better.

“Here is your Sub-Zero. Now, plain-zero!”

Oh weird. I didn’t notice that. The main titles as they are on the CD sound right to me. I need to watch it again...

So we have the opening Running Man LOGO music and narrative crawl :

The film dials out the second half where the main Running Man theme kicks in. I assume this was supposed to support the Bakersfield Massacre footage. I'll have to sync it up sometime see which I like better (music vs no music).

And then there is the prisonyard cast and crew credits which has the low key , tracked music I was talking about.

This release was a four year journey. We are hoping to do a volume 2.

I do have one last question though, Bryon. Maybe you can answer it. Maybe you can't (for one reason or another)...

The TV version of the main theme (with the chorus).

If this was a four year project, then I can't imagine that leaving it off the set was an oversight. Was there a legal/royalties/etc. issue that kept it from being remastered and included?

Honestly, the old one from Google, iTunes, etc. just doesn't cut it quality-wise next to this set. Hopefully it can get included on Volume 2 *fingers crossed*

Again, thank you for the insight into the process.


We used all the music from John Debney's archive.

Maybe there is a way to revisit this on a potential volume 2. We all felt our version was a solid presentation of the pilot episode.

Email me. I gave you my email in the Dracula 2000 thread.

UGH! I wish I'd noticed the update in this thread before I e-mailed! Now, you're getting the same question twice! frown

I agree that Disc 1 was solid. Having the theme just flow right into the next cue was great. Overall, that disc was a fantastic expansion! It was just odd to not have the weekly theme as the opening for Disc 2. I was looking forward to hearing it in better quality because the old Varese album...let's just say you guys knocked it out of the park with the remastering!

The choir is one of those elements that I never really appreciated until it was gone. The theme just doesn't sound the same without it IMO. Evidently, I'm not the only one who misses it.

I really hope it's something you guys are able to do for the second volume.

Also...I really hope there IS a second volume.

Never a problem. I appreciate your email. I sent you a response. I hope all of this goes to show you I want you to understand that we weren't being lazy nor did we overlook anything. It all comes down to multiple issues. Feel free to email anytime.
