End Credits 1 has the cues chosen for the film version. Version 2 is the same but opens with a new take of "The Courtship" instead of "The Egg Travels." Version 3 is the same as Version 1 except that the cue at the end is a different take with a horn solo. All three share the same echo for the Raptor Attack portion, so none "sound" any better or worse than the other two.

IMO it's ridiculous to pretend there's nothing wrong with these credits tracks (as some are doing), but that said, it's a relatively minor flaw that can be mostly fixed with a wave editor and the rest of the release is well sequenced and sounds good.

Bottom line: This is still very much a worthy purchase for anyone who may be on the fence about it.

I'm not saying there's nothing wrong. I'm saying I don't hear what's wrong.

Actually, on further inspection/plays, the 3 End Credit pieces are largely the same, apart from the opening flourishes or music style choice.
They all settle into the repeated order of tunes thereafter.
Still great though.
And I LOVE the Alternate 'Trek' cue.


I also LOVE the alternate version of Trek. I'm so glad they included this cue.

I still don't hear anything wrong. I think people are forgetting to listen and enjoy the disc. Too much rip before you listen , I think. Over reliance on quoting wave forms and such like ( which, frankly, mean nothing to me).

I've only done a cursory comparison on laptop speakers, but when I check the mentioned sections (at 1:08 from "Raptors/Aldar Meets The Herd" and the -- only editorially created anyway -- "End Credits", I don't hear anything "wrong" either. I do hear a difference, though, as one section has the percussion more upfront, the other has the percussion with more room around. Perhaps slightly differently mixed in, I don't know, but it doesn't sound "wrong" or "right" for me, just slightly different.

I wonder if the track had always sounded like it does now in the "End Credits" if people would complain now if it it were switched the other way around?

As I said, I only listened to it via built-in laptop speakers, so that hardly qualifies as a reference listening setup, but I can hear slight a difference... it's just not a difference that smacks of anything "wrong".

My Original Soundtrack CD of DINOSAUR has 17 tracks though, instead of Intrada's 16. I guess because some European versions of the movie/soundtrack contained a song by "Orange Blue" which was not on the US release (of either the soundtrack or the movie).

I'm fine with 'different'. smile

I can understand the frustration if its the wrong take, especially when it's a previously unreleased cue but I'm not familiar enough with the end credits music to hear a difference.

I received my copy today and while nothing has stood out to me regarding sound/echo issues on those multiple "End Credits" tracks, overall it's been nice to revisit this score after quite awhile. I forgot how absolutely cloying that love theme is, however, and still am not sure if the African vocal component was really necessary tonally for this score, other than it was all the rage post-LION KING. I think that the original album captured the major highlights but I like that the "end credits" track will be a great addition to either my "Action/Adventure of the 2000's" compilation or my JNH compilations...

I love it.
Certainly not a revelatory expansion like ALIVE was, but grand nonetheless.
