Had the day off due to the snow storm and the university being closed, so my father and I were in "THE ABYSS". We started the day playing his original Varese Sarabande release, then we played my deluxe edition and then we watched the movie. After watching the movie, we went back to the original and deluxe edition CDs to see if we could find our favorite parts. All of our favorites cues are covered on the original release. Glad to have my own copy of THE ABYSS, but I will be making a shorter version, it is just to long. Sometimes I have to agree with Thor.

Too long, but there are some excellent parts to add to the original release, at least.

Enjoying this score! I put together my own 54-min edit using the deluxe edition, taking out most of the synth/atmospheric parts and creating an almost entirely orchestral powerhouse of a score 
I have an all-new appreciation for this Silvestri classic
well i've ended up doing the opposite, i'm used to Silvestri's action sound, but i'm not aware of another score where he employs eerie sonics and textures like he does here, and as someone who's got a soft spot for listless dreamy music to begin with, i think he's very good at it. what I've got atm...
let me drown your rat / search the montana
jammer freaks
lindsey's close encounter
the pseudopod
the only way
bud's big dive
defusing the bomb
bud on the ledge
the only way (alternate)
all in all I'm blown away by this cd, i've had the vinyl since day one and was never that fond of it, but having all of this extra music, and sounding so superb, has made a huge difference, favorite track though - has got to be the alternate version of the only way - a collection of strong melodies that somehow brings to mind the whole experience of getting all the way drawn into a film.

Mike Matessino refers to the "digital scoring masters" with their three-channel mix as the source for this remaster. Neil Bulk in his Tracksounds interview mentions the stuffed hard drive on which this material was conveyed. I assume this hard drive contained all the slates and partial takes.
Do any album production personnel know whether the multitracks on the Twentieth-Century Fox scoring stage were recorded digital or analog? Digital was becoming less fuzzy by '89, yet this stuff sounds as clean as analogue to me. Or is the noise-reduction becoming that good on archive digital audio? If noise reduction was applied to digital, did the audio crew at Fox apply it or did the Varese team apply it to the three channel-to-stereo mix?

LOW QUANTITY ALERT!
Our Deluxe Edition of Alan Silvestri's masterful score to THE ABYSS is now down to less than 30 copies!
If you don't already own this classic Silvestri score you may want to pick it up - http://tinyurl.com/zbg6bta

Crap, looks like I'm late.
Question about Disc 2 track 9 (Finale & End Credits). Is the track as it appears in the film or is it truncated?
