Ordered. Hopefully this will sound better than Air Force One.
Mike Mattesino did this, so I imagine it will.

Just listened to it. It's worth to get this expansion if you really like the score. The expanded re-release makes the score grittier, darker, with a bit more bite. It's not a substantially new revelation, but it puts a new shine on the score.

I wonder if I order it, will I actually get it?
Still waiting on my Rudy CD that I ordered on September 17th, and have received nothing. They have my money though.
Too bad their customer service sucks.

As I observed to Tim Greiving when we recorded a Soundtrack Spotlight podcast earlier today, that's not only because of the new cues -- it's because some of the cues familiar from the old album are actually more stripped down and gritty than their album counterparts (which were probably Goldsmith's originals before he was requested to simplify them).
Listen to the opening 40 seconds or so of Bloody Christmas for a great example. On the album there's interesting stuff Goldsmith is doing on brass and strings. But I guess it was too "busy" sounding for Curtis Hanson, because in the film itself (and in the 45.5 minute film version program on this release), the dominant element in the score for those 40 seconds is the sinister synth pulse. It leaves a very different impression, IMO, even if it's subtle.
I'm really glad Neil Bulk and Mike Mattesino opted to include the full original album program here, because of these differences. I'll probably edit my own preferred listening experience of the score combining my favorite versions of cues from each source.... for example I'll take "Questions" from the album because it has a cool opening 20 seconds which isn't present in the film, but I'll likely use the film version of the climactic "Shootout" cue because it's almost half a minute longer in the film.
I hope if Fierce Creatures ever gets a Deluxe Edition some day it gets similar treatment: complete score as recorded for the film first, followed by the unique original album (for which Goldsmith newly recorded extended versions of several cues) second.

The opening of "Questions" is the cue "The Gift" which is second in one of the combo cues from this release, for some reason.

Does the physical version have notes like what you just wrote? I was wondering what those two unused cues in track 2 were all about.

Nothing like that in the booklet.
According to my notes only "The Deal" portion is unused. It's cue 3m1.
I'll have to go back and listen again. I thought it was three separate cues in one, starting with the Stens turning in his badge and then two cues that have been a mystery to us all for years put together.

What's in the "Susan Lefferts" album track after the "Susan Lefferts" film cue?
