Mostly the vocal comments on this forum are outliers. Hahahahahahaha YESSSSS.    Posted:   Nov 21, 2016 - 2:08 PM     By:   leagolfer   (Member) I know that already if you've seen the film enough that should be good enough did you listen to it before you bought it or watched the film to compare it people buy things then give negatives.    Posted:   Nov 21, 2016 - 10:16 PM     By:   SchiffyM   (Member) I simply don't want to hear them in the middle of the complete score presentation. Really breaks up the drive and flow of his brilliant score I get it. Just doesn't happen to be how I feel in this specific case. For whatever reason, the two songs provide a nice respite from all the action. Just personal preference. Maybe I'm the only one.    Posted:   Nov 21, 2016 - 11:55 PM     By:   razorback64   (Member) Is the Wagner parody "Die Schlumpf" on the soundtrack as a source cue? I can't see it listed. Hi Score Whore , It looks like it was a source cue, as it's not on this release.

I'm not worried about its non-inclusion since....it's a bit of a joke, yeah? The film is aging fairly well in this cg era, and I cannot wait to get the Intrada set soon. Elfman's score is freaking gangbusters.    Posted:   Nov 22, 2016 - 2:23 AM     By:   Martin B.   (Member) I simply don't want to hear them in the middle of the complete score presentation.

For whatever reason, the two songs provide a nice respite from all the action. Just personal preference. Maybe I'm the only one. Actually you're not. I normally dislike songs in the middle of scores and will move them to the end of the album in iTunes. However, in the case of Rocketeer I actually agree with Intrada's decision on this one. I find the songs work well where they are and for whatever reason I don't mind when they turn up. At the end of the day decisions like this are Intrada's to make. There's no hard and fast rule, just what they think works best on each occasion. On this one I agree with them. Anyway, back to Dick Tracey.... Doesn't bother me on iota the way the tracks are split over discs. If the missing tracks could have been found no one would be complaining (well.... this is FSM so....). These things happen.    Posted:   Nov 22, 2016 - 7:42 AM     By:   digitalfreaknyc   (Member) Anyway, back to Dick Tracey.... Doesn't bother me on iota the way the tracks are split over discs. If the missing tracks could have been found no one would be complaining (well.... this is FSM so....). These things happen. Couldn't care less about the split. Not gonna change anything because I rarely listen to the CD's themselves. I do care, however, about the missing tracks. I'm thrilled about the music we do have but would love to have had it complete. Hell, I would have paid more just to have the missing film versions of the Madonna tracks.    Posted:   Nov 22, 2016 - 8:47 AM     By:   .   (Member) We're a Basket of Outliers.    Posted:   Nov 23, 2016 - 8:51 AM     By:   John Mullin   (Member) I've had this on since Saturday. I love it, but my main issue is actually with the marketing. There is absolutely no excuse for the sales headline not being something along the lines of: "Intrada Grabs Vintage Elfman By The 'Dick'; Expanding It Greatly" That unforgivable oversight aside, I think the sound quality is great, and I love having the extra material. I don't have an issue with the number of tracks, but I do sort of wish that Intrada had put together a program that sort of matches the narrative of the film and then put the alts at the end, instead of putting the alts for each cue immediately after the cue. I realize that that's a tough proposition... since many of these cues were revised several times and still may not resemble what wound up in the finished film... which version of each cue is "correct?" The first version that Elfman recorded? The version that got the furthest along, even if it didn't ultimately get used? It sounds like the music was such a train wreck on this picture that even Elfman himself might not even know or have preferences (other than his directive to Intrada that the original album he assembled be preserved). In light of how messy the recording of the score was, I think Intrada probably did this the best way that anyone could. Those of us who rip CDs to audio files can make a playlist and listen that way. I'm just glad that Intrada put as much of Elfman's Dick out as they could get their hands on.    Posted:   Nov 23, 2016 - 9:16 AM     By:   Solium   (Member) I've had this on since Saturday.

Do you read the liner notes first or play the music first? Or does one listen and read at the same time. Just curious.    Posted:   Nov 23, 2016 - 2:25 PM     By:   GoblinScore   (Member) Keep it up fellas, keep it up..... Not since LLL'S Shaft release have you guys...... (Go ahead, insert tasteless joke here). ;-)    Posted:   Dec 13, 2016 - 9:21 AM     By:   Accidental Genius   (Member) Want to ask this before I contact Intrada, but did anyone else get an oddly munched-up booklet? Mine has all sorts of folds and creases on the pages. Not just the covers. Intrada is always excellent at replacing these, but was first curious to see if it was just my bad luck.    Posted:   Dec 13, 2016 - 10:36 AM     By:   Hutch   (Member) My review (in french) here: http://scoreparade.canalblog.com/archives/2016/12/09/34666396.html In its expanded form, the score takes a more coherent turn. The numerous short tracks aren't a distraction. The only quibble is some repetitive moments caused by the succession of several tracks for a same sequence (original version, alternate or revised one, etc). It doesn't occur many often (other sequences have different tracks so, we don't have this impression) but I think the alternates could and should have been added as extras at the end of cd 2. Nevertheless, since Mr Elfman followed very closely the conception of this 2 cd set, maybe Intrada didn't have other choice to sequence the expanded program the way they did.    Posted:   Dec 13, 2016 - 8:40 PM     By:   TerraEpon   (Member) Want to ask this before I contact Intrada, but did anyone else get an oddly munched-up booklet?
