Before I saw Inception on IMAX, the theater was playing the soundtrack, and it started with the track from the 2nd trailer, the song similar to 528491, but with crazy epic drums. It had no dialogue, so Im wondering if theaters were given a promotional soundtrack with extra tracks.....Anyone work for a regal cinema with an IMAX theater?
I love this soundtrack to death-- however, I'm almost positive that "Dream Is Collapsing" was almost twice as long, possibly even 3x as much, in the film itself. The film version seemed much more exciting to me, and I'm pretty disappointed that the longer version didn't make it to the soundtrack. I hope a longer cut is released at some point, but no matter what, a terrific soundtrack!!!
The score is just released with a great representation of the scores (including all the highlights) and some dudes already create a petition for a longer version??? geeezzz... take a breath...
I hope they include the 2nd trailer music in the new release of the score,
Hey Hybrid Soldier, could you please ask Hans if he is the one who did the 2nd trailer music or not???, because i have a feeling its him, but I'm not sure.
bou- I know what you're talking about, I find that the score is truly representative of what's in the movie (especially highlights). But why are we barkling like dogs? It's because we think that Zimmer's work isn't truly representative. He composed several hours of music (2h30 movie->2h20 music during the movie) and all we have is a poor 50 minutes soundtrack ya see it's not representative of what he's done for the movie (I heard about 3 hours of music...). At least, we wanted something like Gladiator (1h13 of music that are in the movie). I think there's 10 or 15 minutes missing in the actual soundtrack to be complete (which 2 or 3 tracks- or 2 tracks and a complete version of dream is collapsing and time) and if we get this 10-15 minutes everyone here will be happy and you first ;).
Everyone here knows the name of the missing tracks (projections and don't think about elephants), and we have the feeling that dream is collapsing and time are short (or remixed) version.
You asked me to contact HZ to get this clear, so I did !
He told me they do exist, and though it wasn't clear for him either (lol), there's a exclusive story with Verizon & iTunes (when it was for pre-order), according to him.
So I did tell him the current Verizon version has no bonus tracks, neither did the pre-order iTunes version, and showed him the WB comment about "only one digital version identical to the physical version"...
So HZ himself did send an email to the record company to clarify the situation and if possible make the tracks available by a way or another... :)
I have recorded my dreams in a journal for many years and what I found outstanding about the soundtrack for this movie was the feeling that so many of the soundscapes reminded me of many dreams from my childhood, teenage years and young adulthood.
Besides that Hans Zimmer keeps on delivering truly epic soundscapes and musical moments; with fascinating versatility and the most diverse reminiscences in his details...
Most cool music is in the last 30 minutes of the movie. Only 6 minutes of these terrific action music is featured on the soundtrack disk.
Such a shame if you know that a disc can hold 80 minutes. Since the score uses mostly synth and guitar it probably didn't cost much more to fill the disk to 75 minutes...
Does anyone have listened to some samples of DAFT PUNK for the upcoming movie TRON LEGACY?? it sounds great and it really reminds me the Inception score , like some unereleased material !! :
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Oo3jKZ8xfMw&feature=related - try this one , it's disturbing lol
"tomPoland" is a fake i am the real "tom poland" i have no idea why he is pretending to be me...... the sheer imaturity of people on the world wide web never ceases to amaze
unfortunately the official press announcement was wrong...and even warnerbros record has no idea about it. I don't think they will make another CD but because it is too short. I mean all the cues are there, except projections and don't think about elphants, they'll not waste time making another CD. We have to pray and hope for a digital download on the web. I will watch the movie again (3 times haha) see if something's missing.
we are begging for two "miserable" but so F***ing EPIC tracks that may increase the overall album and change everything (we are talking about approx 10 minutes of music)
TDK 'special edition' was a mistake. Few more minutes of music (new music). Rest - the same stuff that was on cd 1 and some completely unnecessary remixes (done to promote Hans clone/co-workers).
tompoland- I do not agree. The deluxe edition was far better than the original CD. Even if the original CD is a true masterpiece, the deluxe edition is full of music that we had ignored the existence. For exemple, A watchful guardian...
No it was not a mistake.
WE have to put some pressure on warnerbros record shoulders'
MOMBASA it's an excellent track... its sounds like Synchrotone from BLACK HAWK DOWN... and GLADIATOR and SHERLOCK HOLMES... lol... anyways... it's ZIMMER!!
Stunning performance of the awesome soundtrack! I was so impressed by the whole performance, combining the elements of the movie in a powerful performance. My compliments to the performers for their obvious enthusiasm and virtuosity. This astonishing film no doubt was the inspiration for the wonderful soundtrack, and deserves Oscar recognition. Watch the movie and savour the soundtrack. You will be entertained, challenged and moved.
