“CLEAR AND PRESENT DANGER: LIMITED EDITION (2-CD SET)”
Music by James Horner
Limited Edition of 2000 Units
RETAIL PRICE: $26.98
STARTS SHIPPING JULY 5

La-La Land Records and Paramount Pictures proudly present a remastered and expanded 2-CD soundtrack reissue of acclaimed composer James Horner’s (STAR TREK II: THE WRATH OF KHAN, ALIENS, GLORY, TITANIC) original motion picture score to the 1994 feature film dramatic thriller CLEAR AND PRESENT DANGER, starring Harrison Ford, James Earl Jones and Anne Archer, and directed by Phillip Noyce. Previously out of print, Horner’s propulsive orchestral score to the hit Jack Ryan dramatic thriller returns with this deluxe, stellar-sounding remastered presentation, expanded with previously unreleased music. Teeming with smoldering drama and explosive action, Horner’s dynamic and intricate score is a sensational work that takes its place among the composer’s finest 90s thriller/action titles. Produced by Dan Goldwasser and mastered by Doug Schwartz from the studio’s original high-resolution Sony MSD-1200 Digital Audio Master Discs, this 2-CD presentation also features the film version of the main titles for the first time on a soundtrack release and includes exclusive, in-depth liner notes by writer Jeff Bond and classic art design by Goldwasser. This is a Limited Edition of 2000 Units.

I already have the previous, expanded PATRIOT GAMES release and there's no reason for me to upgrade to the new(er) edition of JURASSIC PARK (I'm more than happy with their previous 4-disc JP1 & JP2 version), so THIS is the jewel in the crown for me, this time around.
I missed the previous Intrada expansion, so I will rectify that mistake with this shiny new version.
So, that's two in the pot so far for my next Intrada order (WILLOW and this...double Horner).
Just need some new Holdridge from BSX and something cool from Quartet and I'll be good to go smile

I think it’s the piano overlays

I kept thinking "why on earth is LaLaLand releasing this...the Intrada album didn't come out but a few years ago."

I nearly fell out of my chair opening my Intrada copy and realizing it was released nine years ago. Excuse me while I check into a nursing home.

For purists, it looks like Escobedo's New Friend is now out of film order. The Intrada notes state it should be in the order of 2, 1, 3. However, LaLaLand has them in 1, 2, 3 order (and I presume 'Jack Argues With President' is a renamed Escobedo's New Friend Part 3).

I'm going to wait and see y'alls feedback before I decide to order. Patriot Games is the one I come back to the most (love Horner in small ensamble mode + significant portions serve to lay the groundwork for the vocals and exotic instrumentation in Legends of the Fall and are every bit as effective in PG). But Clear and Present Danger is like a good meatloaf; above-mediocre but strangely fulfilling. I don't care about the extra music but I'll be curious if this is a sonic upgrade. The original album and the Intrada release seem to have everything forward and as such are both very loud. I don't have amazingly high hopes this will be a huge upgrade but if it is I definitely would be pushed over the fence to buy. I'll be watching this thread for more info.

I'd really like to know what the differences are between this and the previous release, in detail.

These minor expansions of previous expansions are quite annoying. I accept that sometimes a missing track or alternate is found, but, even when it comes to my favourite composer, I have limits. Also, triple and quad dips take money away from other soundtracks that I don't have, and money is getting tighter by the day right now.

So detailed information on the differences is vital as to whether I can justify the expenditure.

Ah the "Clear and present danger" soundtrack, also known as "Commando II".

This. There is no way that there is 28 minutes and (just over) a half of music of new music. 'TOTAL BONUS TIME' is just existing music with a few edits, and what the Intrada release did not include from the soundtrack album.

Ummm…no. Have you ever listened to this score? Commando was more like 48Hrs 3. Those kettle drums throughout are no where to be found in this score. I think you need to listen again.

I missed out on the Intrada and will definitely get this one. Great action score from Horner with a very military sound to it. The opening Coast Guard scene, the ambush and the rescue stuff at the end are gold.

The bigger action cues are nothing like Command or 48 Hours. If anything, there's Sneakers and Aliens in there (along with the usual classical references).

I respect the renewal of these releases and will likely buy 1-2 of them - that aside, are these "film versions" from material that was NOT available before or are they merely edits of previously-released material, simply trimmed and rearranged to match what the music editor did for the film?

Because if it's the latter, I wouldn't say that warrants a new release. As an example, I could make "film versions" of music from STAR WARS simply by trimming a few things here and there because the material has already been released, so I would just need to do the editing.

I would hope there is actually something new about the sources of the film versions that was not available before, beyond just editing.

This isn't meant as a criticism but trying to get a clear understanding of what "film version" means in this case.

Seriously? You don't know the difference between film version and album version after all these years?

The artwork preview linked above my post answers that.

Escobedo's New Friend - Part 2 is changed to Part 1.

Escobedo's New Friend - Part 1 is changed to Part 2.

Escobedo's New Friend - Part 3 is changed to 'Jack Argues With President'.

"Ambush" (originally titled 'The Kill Zone') has a series of piano / metallic strikes which cut through some of the chaos in the sound mix of that sequence. Those should be interesting to hear.

Thanks to you and to Mutant for the helpful info on that track.
