Until then let's just celebrate the music!

Don’t tell us what to do.
Oooookay...don't think that was really my tone with that comment, but how's this as an alternative?
"Until then why don't we just celebrate the music?"

...but it also displays Elfman’s maturity as a filmmaker and storyteller using music to define, paint, and coax a psychological narrative...
Interesting release (never heard of the film) but I'm at a loss for this statement in the press blurb. I buy "storyteller" but how exactly is Elfman a filmmaker?
Happy for those purchasing it.

Maybe he didn't record the 100 minutes he wrote, or they were just extra variations on the alternates already included?
Just surmising.
That seems very likely. I'm sure since this went to a 2nd disc, Varese included everything that was available. (Whereas to keep Executive Decision: The Deluxe Edition to a single disc, I believe they left off a significant alternate.)

Probably unused cues or alternates he wrote but which did not get recorded. Pretty common in Hollywood for a long time... heck Tadlow recorded a few great cues Miklos Rozsa wrote for Ben-Hur, which weren't on the FSM set because they never reached the recording stage back in the late 50s.

Fuck yeah! I've had the promo release for ages (sent to me by Elfman through Lukas when I reviewed the initial Varese CD for FSM almost 25 years ago  ), but will gladly upgrade for one of his best dramatic mid-90's efforts.
In my top one Elfman score. FAN-FREAKING-TASTIC!

First of all, DOLORES CLAIBORNE is a great score and film. It's right there in intersection between the more consonant Elfman and when he was trying to be more contrapuntal.
Second, the original Varese is actually fine. Presents the perfect, balanced "bleak and harsh, but also beautiful" journey before overstaying its welcome. I also owned the old promo programme back in the day , which expanded the material of the OST with some 30 minutes or so. It's not bad, but it's a TAD on the long side, given the nature of the music. I might -- just MIGHT -- have considered getting this if it was a straight commercial reissue of the 60-minute promo programme, but obviously this goes even beyond that, as is the custom these days.
