But since Brian May has been on a couple of topics recently: We know that the original tapes for Mad Max 2 / Road Warrior are no more, and apparently the sheet music is gone as well, so all we have is the album. But on Silva's "Fantastic Voyage" album of re-recordings, there is a Mad Max 2 track called Journey Over The Mountain that runs 2:10. Is that track a renaming of one of the album cues? And even if it is, where did they get the sheet music from? Was it transcribed by ear?    Posted:   Sep 14, 2024 - 6:05 AM     By:   Stephen Woolston   (Member) I don't know the answer for sure, but a lot of Silva Screen recordings were by-ear transcriptions, so it is likely.    Posted:   Sep 14, 2024 - 7:03 AM     By:   MichaelM   (Member) This track was originally recorded in 1993 by the German Edel label for this 2 CD set: https://www.discogs.com/master/1581157-Czech-Symphony-Orchestra-Best-Of-Science-Fiction Silva later issued a condensed 1-disc version of it. They did the same with Edel's Best of the West, Best of Fantasy and Best of Adventure 2-CD sets. Although the performances are not great (this was when the Prague musicians were new to performing Hollywood film music and they were reportedly given little to no rehearsal time), these recordings were notable at the time for including selections from many scores that were otherwise unavailable (Goldsmith's SECONDS and THE ILLUSTRATED MAN!) Not sure where they got the sheet music from, but the album programs were definitely put together by big time film score enthusiasts. Producer Thomas Karban was a well-known film music journalist in Germany.    Posted:   Sep 14, 2024 - 7:38 AM     By:   Justin Boggan   (Member) I thought we had a user ten or so years ago that posted he had tapes for it.    Posted:   Sep 15, 2024 - 7:24 AM     By:   lars.blondeel   (Member) There's also a nice suite on a Brian May compilation album    Posted:   Sep 15, 2024 - 7:58 AM     By:   Roy Donga   (Member) This track was originally recorded in 1993 by the German Edel label for this 2 CD set: https://www.discogs.com/master/1581157-Czech-Symphony-Orchestra-Best-Of-Science-Fiction Silva later issued a condensed 1-disc version of it. They did the same with Edel's Best of the West, Best of Fantasy and Best of Adventure 2-CD sets.. I’d had the Sci-Fi set for decades and hadn’t realised how good it was until Ford gave a shout out to the extra Mad Max track. I’ve recently caught up with the other 2CD sets for Adventure and Fantasy and there are still a couple of rarities on them from John Scott and Trevor Jones. Again they are very faithful recordings, the sort of thing we’d pay thousands for now on a Kickstarter campaign!    Posted:   Sep 15, 2024 - 12:12 PM     By:   MichaelM   (Member) I’d had the Sci-Fi set for decades and hadn’t realised how good it was until Ford gave a shout out to the extra Mad Max track.

Again they are very faithful recordings, the sort of thing we’d pay thousands for now on a Kickstarter campaign! Indeed, lots of rarities on these. They even dug up two John Scott scores for Camel cigarette cinema commercials (those were like mini Indiana Jones movies starring the "Camel guy"). They may have gotten some of the written scores directly from the composers.     General Discussion: Mad Max 2 question    < 1  >   Go to page:  1   First Post    General Discussion • Trading Post • Non-Film Score Discussion  Profile • Preferences • Community Rules • Help/Contact • Search Board You must log in or register to post.   Go to page:  1
