But he's also smart enough to know that the "customer base" is, in fact, a few thousand people with a wide variety of preferences. And only a small percentage of them post here. And I see no reason to believe we're any sort of cross-section of the people who actually buy the CDs. So when a half-dozen people here express outrage that this wasn't produced in the exact way they wanted, Lukas should indeed take note, but he'd be very, very foolish to put too much stock in it. Well as Lukas said, if he did it the other way, a different set would be bitching. He DID seem to be open to the possibility of it, or whatnot. Personally, I'd have prefered a 2CD with JUST the alternate versions (and silly remix), as that would be optimal, yes even if it means only 93 minutes vs. 117. Maybe I'm alone there, I dunno. It'd be interesting to see how this sells vs STII though (though, I'm pretty sure STII is a much more liked film too, so there's also THAT to consider in such a comparison)

OMG! I was so hoping for this with the earlier release of Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan, it is truly one of James Horner`s greatest scores, and in an era where I personally feel he is not at the top of his game anymore (and I say that with a heavy heart), it assumes a new relevance. The greatest things about it - The inclusion of the Genesis sunset music, and particularly The music for the death of The Enterprise, with that opening roll on the Timpani, as the ship seemingly fights to stay in the sky, before burning up in the Genesis planet`s atmosphere as the theme for the ship (heard prominently earlier in the film as the Enterprise returns to spacedock for the last time) plays in a slow variation on the strings. I will be in hog heaven come June 1st - a crying shame it was missed off the original album, I always thought.

not anylonger - IF this happens to me every contract i sign will have a notice that says that i will own the music - the studio borrows the music from me to teir film - i alone decides what happens with the music It's about time somebody stand up and claims the ownership to their own music Many countries now have a law which automatically grants the author of a piece of work, be it music, writing, painting, photograph, etc, moral rights as the creator of that work. These rights include the right to attribution (to be identified as the author) and anonymity (the right not to be identified or identified under a "pen" name, e.g. films directed by "Alan Smithee"), and the right to integrity. This means that the work cannot be altered or edited without your permission, and this is probably what you are referring to. However, this does not mean that the copyright or ownership of the work cannot be transferred, sold or licensed to another party. For example, a production company hires a composer to write a score for a film. The completed score becomes the property of and its copyright now vests in the production company; the composer does not "own" the music anymore. If the production company then decides to license the music to a soundtrack label or sell it as downloads-only, that may be a decision which is completely out of the composer's hands.

What if i were a film composer and i decided that there should be dialogue in my music - as part of the music ? what will you do ? it's my work and i decides whereas this go dialogue free or not You are right, but the thing is very often some Producers decide to have dialogue in the score like it happened with The Grinch ... I am sure James Horner didn't want to have any dialogue in his score, otherwise he would have put some on his promo release as well. And I am not sure, if it was really Hans Zimmer's idea to have dialogue on Hannibal. Thank God the European Version of John Williams' Angela's Ashes had no dialogue at all But in the case of Star Trek II I did not mind the dialogue in the End Credits ... somehow it had a kind of charm for me.

including the second disc is a waste, and inconsistent with the ST 2 release. It's also inconsistent with the "Mutiny on the Bounty" release, which had three discs. What are they doing to us?! Schiffy, that's my laugh for the day. And as I type "LOL" I actually did laugh out loud. I am so looking forward to this CD. Entirely appropriate and I'm so happy we don't have to wait until ComicCon, which is when I think we all thought we were getting it. Thanks, FSM! (And thanks SchiffyM for the laugh of the day!)
