Was expecting Star Trek Into Darkness, which doesn't make it any less stellar a release, but was surprised with Reinhold Heil's "Haunt", excellent batch Peter!
Reinhold doesn't get enough credit as a good composer. Nuno Malo was composer of a great score for The Celestine Prophecy on Moviescoremedia.
Agreed! Will need to check out Celestine Prophecy.
The winner of the 2010 ‘Breakout Composer of the Year’ Award handed out by the International Film Music Critics Association, Portugues composer Nuno Malo’s first major feature film score here gets its world premiere on CD. Written for the film version of James Redfield’s best-selling novel, The Celestine Prophecy, the awe-inspiring score is written for orchestra and choir, and features an abundance of beautiful themes and set-pieces. Ethnical instrumentation gives the score interesting colors. It’s a score that will remind listeners of the most beautiful of James Horner’s scores (among the 22 tracks on the album, “Heaven” is an emotional knock-out!).
In the words of producer and screenplay author Barnet Bain, “through the gift of Nuno’s talent, we can close eyes and relive the spiritual adventure, discovering – and being discovered by – more of who we really are.” This is the 12th entry in MovieScore Media’s acclaimed ‘Discovery Collection’ which has included scores by such esteemed film composers as Basil Poledouris, Michael Kamen and Dario Marianelli.

The important release was "Star Trek Into Darkness" and all of us already knew it was coming. Well, nice job Varese, you released a single edition last year only to become old a year later.
Which is why I waited till this deluxe edition happened before buying it. I saw a pattern with the last Giacchino Star Trek score.
What's the point of doing that? To make people buy twice the same score? Everyone of us knew it was coming after being tricked with "Star Trek" (2009)
The reason there are single disc versions of the new movie scores is because the average movie goer who will buy a film score won't shell out $25-30 for one. These limited editions are for us fans. So I seriously doubt labels who do this are tricking anybody.
They really tricked us with "Star Trek" (2009). It was a phenomenal movie (and score) and I guess the majority of users from this forum bought the regular release for one of these reasons:
1. Love to "Star Trek". Even no film music fans, usually like Star Trek music.
2. Giacchino's most impressive work to date. Fans of the composers who would buy everything from his.
3. They watched the movie and really liked what they heard.
It was also an award worthy score, got nominated for a Grammy (which always helps to get noticed).
In less that a year, Varese released the Deluxe Edition, making the old release unnecessary for everyone. The new edition was limited to 5000 copies so you better pay and buy or you'll miss it.
Now, the important thing. It was not completed. It lacked chorus. They tricked us.
This one may not have chorus either. And if so, it isn't the end of the world as I didn't notice it was missing the last time around until people brought it up

Varèse as far as I know doesn't use the word COMPLETE in their labeling of CD's. I believe the Star Trek expanded was a deluxe. Keep in mind that the AFM tweaked their rules so if you release soundtracks under 15,000 it's a lot better then it used to be. I do not think the SAG-AFTRA, which is the chorus folks, have done a 15,000 agreement. They are a completely different union with completely different rules so maybe that is why some of the chorus is left off the Star Trek expanded from 2009. This is of course just a hunch. OR it could have been a decision that Michael Giacchino wanted in the expanded. Remember all those great 30 minute OLD Varèse albums from 15 plus years ago. It's because it was WAY too expensive to release much more than 30 or so minutes of music if the music was recorded in LA. Hope this makes sense

SAG AFTRA does not have the same deals for labels as AFM does.

Ok guys, if you want to pay once again for the deluxe edition of a score (you already paid for the first edition) and the announcement claims that it's complete and when you play it, discover that it is not what you expected to hear (different from what you heard in the movie), it's ok.
By the way, the most embarrassing thing Varese did was "Chinatown" as a Club release with the same contents as a regular release.
I must be missing something, where in the description above that I posted does it state it's complete? Maybe my eyesight is failing me which I may need glasses. Thanks
