I enjoyed putting together a collection of my favorites from the Hobbit and Lord of the Rings movies awhile back. Here's my first attempt at a highlights compilation:

Hi!

What about Intrada's overlong Dora the Explorer shorten to a 40-45 min. arranged album?

I'm the same.
The 3 scores (6 DISCS!!) are waiting for me to give them a proper 'sit-down/play/select my fave tracks' listen, but I haven't got around to it yet.
The 'boredom memories' of the films hasn't helped.


Or 12 if you consider the expanded versions... but try not to consider those. I only got through the first 2 films, sure the other will get watched, eventually.

I'm thinking about doing an edit of James Horner's JUMANJI, just so I can call it...

The Sarah Whittle Edition

Come on, man.

I like reading these interpretations on how to ‘convert’ a C&C score to A&A or, at least, create a favourite program. Film music seems to be the one musical world where—thanks to our beloved labels—we often get opportunity to go beyond what was on records issued contemporaneously with a film.

It is absolutely unique in that regard! I guess the closest comparison is when you create your own "greatest hits" compilation of your favorite pop band's songs.

Next up on my list is Quincy Jones's score for BANNING, just recently released by LLL. As before, this is my version of what could have been the LP edition when the movie came out in '68, working with the 30-45 minute restriction and sides A/B and mixing up the main theme variations, suspense and groove tracks. For example, the tracks "The Tounament", "Trying Tie" and "Sudden Death" all are variations on the suspense motif and I spread them out among the album running time. Below is my custom album edit

BANNING Custom Album Edit
Total Time 43:53

LP Side A:
1.The Eyes Of Love (Vocal: Gil Bernal)
2.Main Title
3.The Tournament
4.The Eyes Of Love (Instrumental)
5.Poker/Take Tea And Me
6.Sudden Death

LP Side B:
1.Main Title (Alternate)
2.The Set-Up
3.Banning Can't Forget
4.Trying Tie
5.Relay Chase
6.Finale

Here is my 'News Of The World' (JNH) whittled edition.

1. Capt Jefferson
2. There Is No Time For Stories
3. Leaving Wichita
4. Arriving At Red River
7. The Road To Dallas
8. It's Hard Finding Your Way Home
10. What Else Can You Teach Me?
13. Johanna Returns Home
15. A Gift
16. Castroville
17. Kidd Visits Maria
18. Miss Johanna Kidd
19. End Titles

It runs around 40 minutes and eliminates most of the moody/drony atmospheric stuff and the 10 minute chase/shoot out sequence Dime Mountain (but worry not, it's not like the chase action stuff from WYATT EARP, even if it does work fine for the film sequence, modern scoring style).

Hey Adam, the complete score only runs 56 minutes!!!
Here's what 'To Whittle' means...

reduce something in size, amount, or extent by a gradual series of steps.
"the shortlist of fifteen was whittled down to five"

Just kidding with yer, mate wink

Has anyone had a go at either Cold Mountain (Yared) or Come Away (Debney)? Somewhat random choices but two scores I listened to recently and enjoyed parts of but the albums are just too long so drag quite badly at times...

I might attempt a COME AWAY whittle at some point, Tom.

In the meantime, I did a Midnight Whittle.

THE MIDNIGHT SKY (Alexandre Desplat)

1. The Midnight Sky
2. Aether Spaceship
4. Iris In The Stars
5. Evacuation
6. Families & Friends
7. In The Milky Way
8. A Child
14. Survivors
16. Changing Route
19. Mourning
21. A Ride Home
22. A New Life Ahead

Runs about 38 minutes and drops most of the suspense and action tracks, keeping the more tender/emotional cues.
