Free Music Review: NEW 80-MINUTE EXPANDED ANNIVERSARY IMPORT AVAILABLE
Hit: 5 Stars
A limited edition, "20th Anniversary Edition" of the Tangerine Dream soundtrack has been issued by a German company that seems to specialize in resurrecting and augmenting out-of-print soundtracks. I have loaded the artwork above.
This new CD obsoletes the older Sarabande disc completely. The audio mastering is exactly the same as the original Varese Sarabande CD, but it is greatly expanded in content, and at 79:09, double in length. The original 11 Sarabande tracks are present in their entirety, but the anniversary CD has nine, new, glorious additions.
The tracklist titles have also been changed for many of the identical Sarabande pieces. Here are the titles as they appear on the new CD, with a brief description of each:
1.) Prologue (1:22) This track, with its pan-flute-like music, is the piece that played over the introductory, rolling text. I could never believe it was left off the original soundtrack.
2.) Main Title (same as "Opening" on the Sarabande, same running time)
3.) Nell's Cottage (same)
4.) The Unicorns (same as "Unicorn's Theme")
5.) Goblin's Theme (same as "Goblins")
6.) The Gump Appears / A Toast To Love (same as "Fairies").
7.) Entrance To The Underworld / Lilly Charmed (same as "Blue Room")
8.) The Dance (same)
9.) The Lord Of Darkness (same)
10.) Kitchen Fight (3:20) On the Sarabande disc, this piece was shortened and mixed into a reprise of the Unicorn Theme. On this disc, the kitchen fight scene music is restored and isolated. The Unicorn Theme is separated and greatly expanded (see below).
11.) Jack The Champion (1:20) new & lovely.
12.) Jack Versus Darkness (3:45) new, but personally, I could give or take this one.
13.) Unicorn Theme (7:03) THIS IS NEW, & IMHO, worth the price of the disc by itself. A whopping seven minutes, utterly fantastic piece. It also has a reprise of the Prologue theme incorporated. It's hard to pick a fav on this new disc, but this is probably it for me. WOW.
14.) Unicorn Saga (3:56) Another new and gorgeous addition.
15.) United Goblins Parade (8:23) I think only snippets of this piece were used in the film, but it is a soaring ballad-like piece with an extended guitar solo. It's actually two compositions; as the first performance fades out, at -3:00, a haunting piano/synth piece commences.
16.) JON ANDERSON Loved By The Sun (same)
17.) The Unicorn Song (3:13) This is a female vocal track, but I don't know where it belongs in the film. May have been something recorded but not used?
18.) BRYAN FERRY Is Your Love Strong Enough? (same)
19.) Princess Lily's Chant (9:22) Snippets of this track, with vocals by Mia Sara, appeared in the film, but this is the entire near 10-minute suite. Absolutely stunning to finally have.
20.) Autumn (1:30) Nice. It is listed on the CD as a "bonus track", composed by a "Eric Allaman". Not sure what it's doing here, but he does a succinct Tangerine Dream imitation.
I've read the complaints regarding the high prices of out-of-print titles. However, like a retailer friend of mine observes: "Nobody wants to buy anything until it's deleted." Obviously, these are folks who don't inhabit the world of CD soundtracks: You have to buy them when they're released, because they're usually only pressed in small numbers and never reissued, unless it's the OST to some multi-plex dreck.
There are several hundred OOP soundtracks I can think of that are FAR more expensive than this one; good luck finding a CD of Jerry Goldsmith's Chinatown for less than $100.
Besides, if you own the older Sarabande Legend soundtrack, just sell it, then use the money to upgrade to this one.
