I'm looking to downsize my "stuff" and have some framed pix (formerly from the FSM office) to get rid of, anybody interested?

I'm interested.

I like Lambro's Chinatown score as music. The difference is that Lambro's noirish theme, while very good, doesn't seem as emotionally attached to the film it was written for as Goldsmith's, which carries an essential tragic quality to it.

I agree completely, The Split is an absolute winner, one of my favorite funky scores! Great title song too.

Thanks for sharing the great story! I remember when this was announced in your magazine - cool to read what went on behind the scenes.

Maybe somebody can correlate the above slate numbers in the photo to see what track titles this album would have actually released, as far as the Predator portion.

Sure, no problem


If you have the 2003 Varese CD Club VCL 0803 1022:

5 2M3 (2:06) = 2M3 Payback Time = track 5
6 3M1 (4:20) = 3M1 What's He Doin' = track 6 "The Truck"
7 6M1 (1:45) = 6M1 Jungle Trek = track 7
8 6M2A/6M3 (2:45) = 6M2AR1 First Arrow = track 9 "Blaine's Death" [0:00-0:45] / 6M3R1 What Happened? = track 9 "Blaine's Death" [0:45-end]
9 6M4 (1:15) = 6M4R1 He Was My Friend = track 10 "He's My Friend"
10 7M1 (3:04) = 7M1 Building The Trap = track 12 "Building A Trap"
11 7M5 (1:58) = 7M5 Can You See Him? = track 14 "The Hunt Is On" [2:52-end]
12 8M1 (1:06) = 8M1 Weather's Death = track 15 "Dillon Is Disarmed" [1:05-end]
13 8M2A (1:16) = 8M2A Arnold Runs = track 16 "Billy Stands Alone" [1:17-end]
14 9M2 (5:08) = 9M2 A Builds Trap = track 17 "Battle Plans" [2:10-7:02]

16 11M2 (2:00) = 11M2 Predator Rises = track 20 "Predator's Big Finish" [1:42-end]
17 6M4/1M1 (3:39) = 6M4R1 He Was My Friend / 1M1 Main Title {tracked, which is what the film does}

You are absolutely right but to be fair, you could give everyone here $1,000 and they would complain it wasn't $1,001.

A very interesting and well-written read, Lukas. I like these little bite-sized stories about life on the inside of this industry from those directly involved.

It just goes to show how differently labels were approaching things before the modern ways of releasing every note took over.

I've always wondered what was planned to be included on that combo CD, after reading the news in FSM all those years ago. When I crafted my own "highlights" compilation of music from all the Predator films, with 25 minutes from the original, I tried to imagine what would be the main highlights and even created a suite myself of the "stalking" cues. In looking at the track/cue list, those look to be pretty much all my favorites anyway, so I might have been the one person happy with this old combo CD! smile

I'd read about the Predator/Die Hard CD in one of the old issues, but I almost thought it was a myth.

Truly fascinating to hear about this arrangement that led to so many specialty CDs. Sue (wherever you may be) and Nick...thank you very much.

Welp, time to create a mockup of that presentation of Predator. It's missing "The Girl's Escape", but that happened all the time back in the day. We're spoiled now.

I remember getting online when I first got my hands on an internet connection outside school and began looking up soundtracks. I was beside myself when I realized there was no album for Predator. Had this album existed, I'd have loved it.

Oh, and Goldenthal's Fox fanfare is indeed the high point of Alien 3. Until the film proper starts. wink

Some memories of my time with Leonard Rosenman, who was a delightful man even as he was suffering from frontotemporal dementia:
