Announces:
THE CORE
Composed by CHRISTOPHER YOUNG
INTRADA Special Collection Vol. 187
For Chrisopher Young's score to the 2003 Paramount film The Core, Young employed approximately 120 orchestral musicians and over 40 choir members to perform and record this massive work. It is a score of epic proportions, constructed of brazenly sumptuous orchestrations utilizing triplicate woodwinds doubling on piccolos, alto flutes, English horn, contrabass clarinet, and contrabassoon; eight horns, four trumpets, five trombones, a tuba, two harps, two pianos, a massive percussion battery; and strings. As Young recalls, “We recorded the score at Paramount. When I stepped out onto the stage I could see the orchestra was electrified by the music. There were at least a handful of cues where I could sense a few, ‘wows!’ amongst the group. They’re not easy to please, so seeing these musicians react so favorably was a major thrill for me.”
The Intrada Special Collection release, produced with special cooperation from the American Federation of Musicians, marks the premiere commercial release of the score in thundering stereo sound.
The film details a nightmare scenario resulting from the cataclysmic disruption of the earth’s core, and event that disrupts the uniform spinning of the earth’s core which generates the magnetic field encompassing the planet. When the equilibrium of the revolving mass is thrown into disarray, the magnetic field is compromised—thus exposing the earth to the ultra-violent forces of the universe. In order to remedy the situation, two maverick scientists propose drilling into the earth’s core utilizing a superhard crystalline substance on board a subterranean vehicle to reach the earth's core and restart it with nuclear explosions.
INTRADA Special Collection Vol. 187

Excellent, most definitely ordered.
Oh, and if Basil Wrathbone looks in, I told my doctor this way coming out and I was "diverting funds" to it. He examined my head, as you recommended, told me I was just fine and should carry on ordering whatever music it makes me happiest to listen to, regardless of the age in which it was released.

What are the differences, if any, between this release and the previous, 2-CD "limited" release it had earlier?

I'm curious about this as well.
Roger mentioned that it was expanded by another 20 minutes or so. The previous release was also a composer promo not made commercially available.
I'm surprised it's not mentioned in the publicity release. I'd be more eager to get it, if I didn't already have the composer promo...
