Purchased this unheard and was initially disappointed in the score. I just couldn't get into it after repeated listens. With some considerable amount of trimming I like the score a lot more. The first three cues are a slow burner then it's balls to the walls.
I will try this out eventually. For some reason, Powell's animated scores all give me the feeling of having eaten way too much candy (but in the bad, adult way).

Has anyone whittled STARSHIP TROOPERS deluxe?
Thanks!
I haven't even torn off the shrink wrap yet!
Yes, I recently crafted a whittled version of the deluxe Starship Troopers. The original album did include many of the major highlights so I wanted to just beef it up a little with some additional tracks. Also, I omitted the end credits for several reasons - first, the crescendo of "They Will Win" is, for me, an exhilarating end to the listening experience, a great big finish, and second, the end credits consists of cues already heard and I'm not a fan of duplicating cues during my album listen.
Starship Troopers (Expanded Album Edit):
1.Fed-Net #1 / Bug Attack On Newsman
2.Transporting
3.Carmen's Shuttle Ride
4.Undocking
5.Punishment / Asteroid Grazing
6.Call To War / Bad News From Home
7.War!!
8.Klendathu Drop
9.The Fleet Limps Home (Partially Unused)
10.Rasczak's Roughnecks
11.Tango Urilla
12.Johnny And Dizzy
13.Hopper Canyon / Mess Hall Mess
14."Bugs!!" (Version 1) (Unused)
15.Radio Shack / Whiskey Outpost Pt. 2 / Death Of Dizzy
16.Dizzy's Funeral
17.Rico's Roughnecks / Destruction Of The Rodger Young / Bug City
18.Brainbug / Cave Nuke
19.They Will Win
Total time: 65 minutes (1:05:48, according to iTunes)

I was never a fan of the film. I felt the satirical/parodistic elements were lame.
SO, I have decontextualized my program to eliminate all the parodic elements (and short cues).
This is TWO separate programs. Not meant to be played consecutively

Interesting. Same running time.but pretty different program!
Didn't like the opening.of the film or the music.
From there it was excellent.
Didn't we also have the same running time / DIFFERENT cues for MR?

Interesting how most of these whittled CDs result in programs between 30-40 minutes!
Maybe those 30.min. Varese CDs weren't so bad after all.
Tom's program puts to rest the crackpot notion that chronological order is cues shows " how the music develops"

Aye, but at least with the complete (or fuller) score, we can edit them to suit our individual needs.
How many times, in the past, was that truncated release missing YOUR favourite pieces from the film.
Unless it's a stupendous work of art, I think most score highlights can be captured in a solid 30-45 minute programme.
I like having final editorial say though 
For sure. They give ME the tools...
Goldsmith always put at least one "warm moment" cue in his action scores, or like a long dialogue track (that one from The Shadow, what the hell was that about??). Swapping out a couple and swapping in a couple makes the scores almost Varese length, but a much more enjoyable listen.

I definitely am aware of the irony every time I whittle a complete score edition down to "album length", even if it's in the 70-minute range. After decades of being a soundtrack collector and just accepting whatever the composer or the label felt was the most listenable & varied program, I've now had 15 or more years of complete scores released by FSM and others that allow me to act as album producer. I think this is probably an aspect unique to our little corner of the music, although pop fans can certainly create their own "hit parade" albums. I have found that after 35+ years of collecting and listening and having such a large collection, the shorter runtimes mean I can listen to more selections during a day.
And honestly, repetition is part of any film score, it's one of the important tenets when you're watching the movie itself to have material repeat, but I don't think the album has to adhere to this same aspect, it can be highlights - but of course "highlights" can be so subjective!

Agreed! I'd like to share more of my whittled-down versions, but some of them are just embarrassing (like the one I did for The Specialist, which is just 8 tracks called "Did You Call Me?").
I keep trying to whittle down Silvestri's last two Avengers scores, but there are cool bursts in a lot of cues and I feel like I'd miss them (even though I NEVER listen to it anyway because it's just too goddamn much music).

Regarding Alan Silvestri's last two Avengers scores, I find that the 70+ minute versions that were released on physical CD for both of them represents the best "whittled down" version of each! I also purchased the complete digital editions, but 2 hours is too much music. The 70 minute CD versions, that I assume was also assembled (ha!) by Silvestri himself, I find represents most of the highlights, so we didn't have to do any work. And in the Endgame CD version, a few tracks are actually several cues edited and combined that are complete and separate on the digital edition, so that helps.
