There are no Alternates on CD1,

look again

I dont like the flow of the music when Intrada puts the alternate before/after the real cue and both are quite similar... it sounds repetitive... and they do this a lot

in this case it's even more jarring considering the second CD is for ALTERNATE BARRY (and not barry) CUES

Yes, alternates should just be at the end of the disc or on a whole other disc if possible. Just sequence the CD in film version order. Why is this hard?

look again

Ah, now I see your point... sorry, I was looking at the back cover pic and not the tracklist details.

Anyway, I care more about the music fluidity than a c&c order, so to me this looks perfect.

Thank you very much again, Intrada!

Sound samples are awesome! Sounds like the best of Barry. The Black Duck, Dancing with Ducks, James Duck. Instant buy!

The press release refers to "strikingly different" alternates and I'm guessing its these which are on disc 1 and they probably work fine if you consider the alternate scenes they were written for. The alternates on disc 2 are possibly of the more traditional variety. There will be a reason why Intrada has done it this way.

    I'm also hearing a bit of The Duck Valley.

    My sentiment as well. It's not like owners won't fashion their own tracklists when they receive this gem (well, almost all owners).

  • As a preteen watching this movie growing up, I developed a greater appreciation for the female version of the human anatomy.



  • And the female version of the duck anatomy.

    See above gif.

    You and me both.



    The closest you ever got?

    Some folks pointed out that the John Barry music heard on the Year of the Comet trailer is evidently the same as the track on this CD set call Ultralight #1 (Alternate).

    Whether it was tracked in to the trailer...

    Or Barry re-recorded it just for the trailer...

    Or Barry recycled it into his Year of the Comet score...

    We don't really know. But there's a positive ID there. Kudos to my mates who spotted it before I did.

    Cheers

    Personally, I've never found it distracting when Intrada includes alternate in the main program. They are different enough that I find the flow fine, and I'm usually quite uninterested in separate alternates.

    But then I enjoy Doug and company's taste in sequencing and mastering anyway.

    Really just 19 minutes of Levay here...or 38 if you count the alternate versions.

    Hmmmm……….

    How much is shipping to Europe?

    It's amazing to my mind that we have gotten in recent years releases of scores to 2 dud films scored by JB in 1986, Howard the Duck and The Golden Child. And that the labels involved have went to such measures to ensure the releases are as comprehensive as they are and presented in 3 CD sets with all that extra Barry music!

    With SAE it's 18USD which I calculate as roughly 162kr.

    Which is about 15GBP. And that's before we have to worry about other taxes and charges.

    i.e. expensive

    The specific question is already answered, but it's cost me $60 to buy this, and that'll go up to $80 if the customs folks nab it and send me a ransom note.

    It's an expensive business, ordering from abroad, but it is what it is.

    Cheers

    That's my kind of overcompensation!

    Ordered, along with the Kritzerland Fox box. Shipping to UK is same up to 8 discs so this minimizes the overall shipping cost per disc.

    King Rat could well follow later in the week once I see what Varese unveil.

    Listening to the clips now. All I can say is how lucky, how unbelievably lucky they were to secure a composer like John Barry, who gave them far in excess of what such a movie even deserved!

    I enjoyed the third sample by Levay. It would be interesting to hear him drop the drumkit and any synths and try an orchestral score (he probably has, but I just don't know one).

    The songs do zero for me.

    Hell no!

    But he did at least one, COURAGE MOUNTAIN.

    I keep trying to play the clips but I can't get past the second one...

    BODY DANCES WITH DUCK, indeed!

    A crazy lark of a movie with a Bond score.

    Mmm...delicious.

    in the mini-podcast the intrada guys say something about hearing Barry going all-out with busy orchestral action cues like never before...

    where in those sample clips is that?
