To be fair, those who actually watched the video interview being referenced would recall what Horner said, which was NOT that he "wrote 100 minutes of music", but that there was around 100 minutes of music in the film, because it's just the kind of film it is. That easily could mean all music, score and songs combined. The total of what the film required not just of his own score.
To be fairer, this was a promotional interview, not a deposition. He was telling a story and trying to make it interesting.
I've watched DVD interviews/commentaries about television shows I wrote and produced where the stories being told are near-complete fictions. It's not always that the person interviewed is lying for his own aggrandizement – it's that they're trying to make their mundane day-to-day jobs seem dramatic or funny or more interesting than they actually are. Also, they often don't remember that well.
(When I've done these interviews/commentaries myself, they've all been accurate, I swear!)
An actor I once worked with did a one-man off-Broadway show where he devoted twenty minutes to a story about a project I did with him. The story was completely invented, and was mostly about a person who never existed! Why? Because the real story was about me at a keyboard, and who in the world would care about that?
My point is, Horner could say whatever felt interesting at that moment. Clearly, he wasn't speaking 100% accurately, either purposely or by simple misremembering. The premise was "I wrote a lot of music!" 100 minutes just sounds more interesting than "nearly eighty"!

The original soundtrack release of this great score is just fine.Not worth 30 bucks for another twenty minutes and a copy of the original album on disc 2 which i already own.
Pass.

I'm so upset by the presentation of this two CD set that I'm now in my car from Los Angeles and I'm driving up to Intrada's office with pitch forks and bags of poopoo and toilet paper. I shall find Doug and Rogers home and let me just tell you, they are going to get a great big surprise for their inferior presentation of THE ROCKETEER. I'm so upset I may actually not even sleep tonight because of how angry I am. How DARE they give us everything we want and put it in a way that they feel is the best listening way or the way they were told to present the score with by Disney or Horner or his estate. HOW DARE THEY not ask us so we can all agree in unison how the soundtrack should be presented as we would have all agreed on one way, correct. Because we all agree in unison on most things. If tar and feathering was still allowed, you can bet I'd be getting the hot tar ready and plucking as many of those chickens as I can for feathers.
I may have to just stop buying their products and even if they release THE HEARSE or BABY BOOM, I may still have to say no no no.
HOW DARE THEY release this score this way, don't they know we all know better, then them some little label that's only been around for 31 years?

Schiff, I've said it once and I'll say it again, you have an uncanny ability to cut through the BS. Let me guess, former editor (print or film) or prosecutor? Either way, you've got it.

Heh. Have I seen you be sarcastic before?
This is the first physical CD I've bought since Star Trek. So I'm super excited. The presentation looks FINE.
BTW, is the alternate cover Dave Stevens?
