I don't understand the need for this at all; the film was pretty lousy and the score sub-par Vangelis at best. There's surely more deserving scores that deserve the La La Land 2-disc treatment.
Oh well, I guess some will get very excited about this.
I thought the film was good, and would take a film like this any day over a film like THE AVENGERS.

Given the past releases that were sublicensed deals with other labels (i.e. BATMAN from WME and Warner Bros., STAR TREK: TMP from Sony Music and Paramount Pictures), you gotta realize that part of the deal is that the original album needs to be licensed from the original record label to get the score pieces that had been released, and then the rest of the score tracks are licensed from the studio. Given the cost of licensing (not the part I'm familiar with, admittedly) I believe that it just makes sense to license the full original album, and release that along with the new stuff.
Just curious Dan but do you know why this wasn't the case with Batman Returns? That one didn't have a third disc with the original album program...
Yavar
We didn't have a third disc with BATMAN and BATMAN FOREVER either. As long as one is able to sequence the original album from the newly expanded release, then you should be good. And in the case of BATMAN RETURNS, that's why we have the "Album versions" on Disc 2, tracks 10-15....

*sigh*
Why does everything praised on this board have to be at the expense of saying what you don't like at the same time?
Black Rain's a good movie. The Avengers is a good movie. Both have good scores, and soon, both scores will have had the release they deserve.
It is possible to defend something without going on the attack at something else.

Why is it no one has ever mentioned the contractual obligations with including the original album before?
It has indeed been mentioned before, I have read about here on the board. Also in talking with the LLL guys at different events here in town I learned about this...
A lot of times the way these deals are structured is that the original album is considered a reissue and the extra stuff (like the complete score) is a "bonus disc". It's just not marketed that way to the masses. It's all internal so don't worry your pretty lil' heads about it..

I always it thought it was some kind of egoistic vanity project for Michael Douglas to be honest,
but it never claimed to be anything else, that's what it was marketed as, that was the brief going in, and as such, it's corny sure, but "a mess"? hardly.
and it's not purely "director-for-hire" material, if you look closely it's a clear extension of scott's blade runner style, he jumped at the chance to shoot in an urban japanese environment, and he made the most of it, the atmosphere in the movie is particularly sharp.

Agreed. As with all Scott films, much of the film's meaning and subtext are communicated exclusively through audiovisuals. I think it's a great 'epic' film clothed in a traditional cop drama.

Keep bringing in the Zimmer, MV!
I have no doubt we'll see Bird On A Wire and Where Sleeping Dogs Lie in time.

About the songs, I guess I'm somewhere in between Thor calling them brilliant and Platini calling them garbage. I'll Be Holding On and Living On The Edge Of The Night are both good, while Laser Man, Singin' In The Shower and The Way You Do The Things You Do are quite awful. Back To Life is so-so.

Yes, I have always wanted the opening theme from BOAW, with Zimmer's great arrangement of Aquarius from Hair.
I saw WSDL years ago, I especially remember Mancina's name being spelt "Marc" on the VHS cover. I have a feeling most of that score was written by Mancina. Quite nice score, I taped some of it on to a cassette...

Hope it will include the movie version of I'll Be Holding On.
Black Rain has a great score and a couple wonderful songs looking forward to this release.
Yes, the movie version is great.
