ENTERBAY 1:4 scale Terminator2 T800

[EndoSickness]

I wish then that they'd share this treasure. A complete T2 sountrack would be a grail acquisition.

I feel the same, much better to have the arrangement exactly as it was in the film even if you end up with tracks with 13 second running times. Other things that annoy me are the likes of alternate cues being inserted where they weren't in the film (such as a piece thats in the Empire strikes back main titles on the cd but is never in the film) or the alternate versions of certain tracks of the Aliens score for some unknown reason being the defaults while the actual movie versions are only included as 'bonus' tracks at the end. I don't get why Horner would do that.

Yep, I remember the last time being hyped on something that isn´t even consider "music" by a few of my friends. The part where the T-800 steps into the light in T:S and the OST didn´t have this part, but the leaked full score has it, epic.
More from that, same with the Full score of Aliens inherited by the Anthology BR. Some many pieces the OST didn´t had or as those alternate cues you mentioned, Dev.

Most of the composers want your focus on their work only, and I can understand their perspective. In the movies, most of the time, the music is part but you don't hear the music purely. They want the CDs to stand as symbols of their abilities and you to hear the music as they feel it flows best rather than in the order of scenes it fits too.

I'm just glad any T2 score was released, and original Fiedel music not some orchestra performing his stuff. I've had to settle for some score music performed by other composers before and while it's something, you can't beat the original.

I know what you mean, Sean. But I guess since we want the score as we remember him...shouldn´t it give the impression that we love the music and take it for what it is and REALLY honor the artists work?!

 

[DARK-SIDE]

For those with this in hand, what is the dimensions of the box that it comes in?

box 59.5 X 19.5 X 33.5 CM

 

[Lawrence]

box 59.5 X 19.5 X 33.5 CM

Is there an edition size on the box?

For example, 1205/2000, or something like that?

I think in a lot of their minds, the closer the album is connected to the film, the fandom isn't just for the music, but abstract from the film, it is more about just music, and that's rational I think. Don't we all see the various moments of the films in our minds when we listen to the music, that's part of what I enjoy, the music takes me into the movie, and while I am appreciating the music, it is not capturing my full attention like tracks with no film context will.

Often what the composers feel is their best stuff is not what the fans think, I know fans feel some of the music left off the 3rd Star Wars movie's score was better than most of what's on the CD. I think there are bits from T2 that are missing which are better than what's on the album, the chase scene music is much better than some of the album tracks.

I was given a 12" copy of Brad Fiedel's T2 soundtrack back in February. The LP was completely remastered under Brad's supervision and was released late 2010. Some of the tracks are slightly longer than the 91 LP and CD versions, so they still have the original master tapes to work with. You'll love the warmth and a depth to it that CD's just can't produce. It was released on the Silva Screen label if anyone wants to track a copy down.

 

[csutkakoma]

Longer? I think they are the same like in the older albums. He only remastered it and this is the only change.

 

[Reaktwon]

Do you have it? Some tracks are a few seconds longer, some are a few seconds shorter, but trust me, this pressing has a lot more depth and clarity that the 91 pressings. This IS the LP you want to own if you're an audiophile.

 

[csutkakoma]

I have the remastered edition yes.

I didn't noticed any difference in the length of the tracks but I will check it out later.

 

[Reaktwon]

I don't have the CD version. I don't think the LP version is commercially available yet, but I've got a promo 180g virgin vinyl pressing signed by Fiedel/Levinson/Clark. 67/100.

The question more to the point then is does it have those first few notes of music from T2 (even before the main titles kick in) or any of these 'unreleased' bits-

Here it is! You can download it!

Man, I can´t tell you how I often I got myself during wirk, humming music, getting home and being all pumped for a certain movie.
I always can enjoy a good score, be it a videogame, or movie, aside form the belonging media too. That´s no problem for me, but I get your point.

The chase is amazing, is arrival too, Galeria, Tanker Chase at the end. There are so many cues I wanna call my own finally and never miss them again. Hope that happens one day.

Of course not, buddy.
As far as I can tell, its the exaxt same piece only released with a different cover fitting to a german steelbook release approx. 2 years ago.

Major Meh...

 

[MaulFan]

That brings up another bit of music that's sorely absent, the Terminator's theme, I'd even settle for it mixed with other stuff but they don't have it at all.

If I'm thinking of the same bit you are isn't there a brief part of it in the Terminator Revives track?

 

[quiggle]

my regret was never picking up the Definitive Edition because its now OOP and impossible to find new and sealed. I one time wrote to Fiedels agency to asked for an autographed photo of him and they brushed me off. the Terminator 2 theme they play in the film sounds different from the cd imo, the one in the movie sounds like its stretched out a bit if you know what I mean, like its slower

 

[MaulFan]

There's a bit of it, but unfortunately, it's mixed over with the other music going on. What I'd love is a clear version from his arrival, or when he shoots the guard at Pescadero, or the couple times you hear it at Dyson's house where it's nothing but that sound. It's a lot like the beat they had for T-800 in T1, and I like that metallic sound to it. It's kind of in the track when Sarah attacks Dyson but I'd still love to have the purer cut from the moments I mentioned.

 

[a-dev]

In that case yeah we're thinking of the same thing. I love that too and exactly its T2s version of that dumdumdumdum dumdumdumdum theme for the T-800 in T1. As with the first few bits of music from the film I guess it wasn't put on the CD because it'd be a very short track. It also plays any time you see T-800 on the Harley before he finds John, when Sarah first sees the T-800 at pescadero etc etc. A few slightly different playings of the T-1000s theme aren't on the cd either, only in the Escape from Pescadero track. And I really wish that track covered all of the canal chase too but it doesn't. Thats one I definitely don't understand, the canal chase music would easily have fit surely, certainly no more awkwardly than any of the other action tracks.

 

[Jackhepburn]

Is nobody else thinking this thread is going a tad music orientated? Any updates on the figure?

Well the T1 score seems to combine tracks so they could always make it like 20-30 seconds in front of another piece like that. I get the opening stuff being absent because that was solely for those shots and never used again in the movie, but the Terminator's theme repeats throughout, I feel it's as crucial to be on the score as the T1 theme was for that one.

Is nobody else thinking this thread is going a tad music orientated? Any updates on the figure?

No, thus the music chat, but it's still T2 related. We Terminator fans get really into stuff, it's not just about the figure, the figure draws out our love for the movie

 

[sifu74]

There is a T2 movie thread you guys can revive or start and chat about the soundtrack there.

Pics of this thing did slow down a bit didn't they. Whens Agen getting his?
