Randy Newman and AFO / Ottman and H20

[sound...@my-dejanews.com]

Some folks have been asking about Newman's score for Air Force One which was
rejected. Rhino will not be able to release that much in the same fashion
that John Ottman wasn't going to be able to release his Halloween score. From
what I heard about the Halloween score, is that Miramax, the distributors
where playing "legal eagles" with John and his request to release the score
in some form. As we know know, he got most of his wishes and Varese will be
releasing it under a different title (Go John!). As for Newman's score, I'm
sure it's wrapped up just like Ottman's was and enough call for it and
interest in it, expressed to the right people, it may be released, in it's
orignal form. However, I'm sure there are other ways, such as re-recording of
the score for a compilation album much like Varese's series of "Best Of
<insert year here>" CDs. They took a chance on Bernstein's "Last Man
Standing" and may have gotten burned on low sales... so releasing the whole
AFO score may be out of the question for them... but maybe they could shoot
for one of those "30 minute" specials. (In all truth, I'm glad to see anyone
releasing rejected scores...no matter how short.) And, kids... don't forget
to pick up Practical Magic before they repress it without Nyman's music...
that is, if you're a Nyman fan...

But John Ottman's H20 score IS being released by Varese Sarabande,
under the name "John Ottman: A Portrait of Terror" - it just contains
no references to the film. :)

With all the rejected filmscores we've heard of lately, maybe Varése (or
someone else) can start an "Unreleased Film Scores" series...

Nope - not even in the track listing (which is as follows):

1. Main Title (includes HALLOWEEN theme by Carpenter)
2. Laurie
3. Narrow Escape
4. Advice
5. Rest Stop
6. Disposal
7. The Evening Begins
8. Seventeen
9. Face to Face
10. Letting Go
11. Here's Company
12. Sonata for Mollie
13. Death of a Nurse
14. Final Confrontation
15. He's Dead
16. Road Trip
17. Farewell, Michael

Track 2 used to be called "Laurie Strode", which would be
the only direct reference to the film.

Please keep in mind that this is not guaranteed to be the finalized
track listing - it is just based on what I was told (which is, of
course, subject to change).

Also, little "Carpenter-isms" are spattered throughout the score,
which is really nice. And don't forget the nice "Psycho" reference
in Track 4!

Looking forward to seeing how it comes out....
