For me, the best cue by far is the music as Sandman reforms himself in the sandpit. That was a triumph of filmmusic of the like we only got from Goldsmith usually. Absolutely *perfect*.
Ooh, yeah. That scene was like an abstract modern art masterpiece, beautifully conceived and animated, and then Chris Young's score really took it to another level, adding empathy, sadness and resolve. I loved it when Sandman reaches for the locket containing the picture of his daughter, stretching out his big crumbling, sandy paw, which just dissolves on impact, and then he musters up his will and solidifies, and the music rises with him. Wonderful stuff.

In terms of soundtrack releases, this one is easily deserving of it.
I think the main issue people may have to the score is that there is something slightly jarring when it transitions between Young and Elfman, but I love this one.
There is some great material for both the Sandman and that black goo that I heard in the movie.
BTW, speaking of Christopher young, I was fortunate to meet him twice, once at a Dark Delicacies CD Signing, and once in passing at the FSM/SAE booth at Comic-Con, and he is one of the nicest, most humble people you could ever meet.
When he signed my Species CD, he added "you're the best", and on the Urban Legend promo, he signed it with "thanks for listening".
He was short changed with getting this score out there, and this score definately deserves to be released.
Intrada? FSM? Varese?

My favourite piece is still the jazzy mansion fight between Harry and Peter. Outstanding!
Words can't express how stoked I was to finally hear this cue away from the movie.

Young's score for The Gift is gorgeous, too. Very underrated, much like the film.

From what I was told, supposedly the reason why we never saw a score release for Spider-Man 3 was because of Elfman. They used Elfman's themes with out his permission.
Without being privy to contracts or the like - I get the feeling that Sony has the rights to use or distribute the music as they see fit. Yes, they'd pay Elfman a royalty fee but I don't think its his to "own".
This is correct. I think it's a different case with electronic scores (I know John Murphy owns a lot of his own recordings) but with something with a huge orchestra for a tentpole franchise, Sony will definitely be calling the shots.
