emailed dogplant and asked him if he had the original score. He wrote back that he likes to listen to Presumed Innocent drinking whiskey late at night.
I really dig the structure of this release, with only unique album versions presented on the back half rather than the whole OST with repeats.
Yes, it's very effective at presenting the film score without creating any redundancies elsewhere. X-MEN was a bit disorganized but had a similar approach mixing the cues together.
I didn't think there was this much unreleased music. Regardless, it's such a repetitive score that the original presentation is more than enough for me.
Sometimes, counter-intuitively, the complete score can be less repetitive (and feel "shorter" as a listen) compared with the original album. Goldsmith's The Russia House is a great example of this. People said, "the original album was *already* too long; why add ANOTHER dozen minutes of music?"
And guess what? The complete score plays MUCH better as a listen because the missing cues added more variety and fleshed out the repetitive-feeling original program.
Also have waited for this one! The original cd I bought was recorded very low and required volume to be turned up really high to hear the quieter moments.
I wanted the OST presentation on a second disc. Boo! Hiss!!!!
See, given your smily I assume you were joking.....and personally they was they did this is absolutely the best way to do it IMO -- you've got the full score, and only the actual changed tracks from the album are included. Suffice it to say I had no hesitation pulling the trigger on this one.
Another Great Score By John Williams…Thanks Mike Matessino..(The Reiver’s Please)
And Presumed Innocent was a Very Good Film…with a glaring mistake at the end, as a Reporter Who was recording a comment, without a taping device in the recorder! Lol.
Never seen the film, but the samples sound like something I would love.
Was wishing there was something else compelling in the VS catalog I could bundle with it to leverage shipping, as I'm feeling the Bourne soundtrack atm.
Was wishing they'd have another sale that I could root around in- and lo and behold...
I know the wife framed her husband the DA, but what I don't understand is her motive---did she do it to get him back from the female DA or did she want him to be found guilty--or what?
