<\/p>\n

01\u00a01m2<\/strong>\u00a0Prologue – 2:58 – OST 01 Prologue (2:52)
\nOST version is complete, but has Morgan Freeman narration over it.<\/p>\n

02\u00a0MK SC 23<\/strong>\u00a0“Is It Over” – 3:05 – OST 13 Escape From The Basket [0:00-2:55] (2:55)
\nNo clean ending is available; At 2:55 on the OST track, the start of\u00a0M.A.\u00a0<\/strong>“What Happened” overlaps the ending of this cue. The ending of the cue is extended with a loop as well.<\/p>\n

03\u00a0MF\u00a0<\/strong>The Intersection Scene – 4:33 – OST 04 The Intersection Scene (4:13)
\nThe OST version fades out early.<\/p>\n

05\u00a02m4 CD Intro<\/strong>\u00a0– 0:36 – OST 06 Escape From The City [0:00-0:29] (0:29)
\nSomething recorded just for the CD, separately from the rest of the cue.<\/p>\n

06\u00a02m4\u00a0<\/strong>Driving Away – 3:38 –\u00a0Unreleased<\/em>\u00a0(0:30) \/ OST 06 Escape From The City [0:59-1:34] \/\u00a0Unreleased<\/em>\u00a0\/ [1:34-1:41] \/\u00a0Unreleased<\/em>\u00a0\/ [1:41-end]
\nAfter CD Intro finishes on the OST track, it does NOT segue to the correct beginning of this cue, as the beginning of the cue remains unreleased. Instead, the first 30 seconds of the cue are replaced by a chunk from later in the cue (OST time 2:38-3:08). In addition, there are microedits at 1:34 and 1:41<\/p>\n

07\u00a03m1\u00a0<\/strong>Surveying Wreckage – 1:20 –\u00a0Unreleased<\/em><\/p>\n

These two short cues were not included on the OST at all.<\/p>\n

\nNo clean ending available.<\/p>\n

10\u00a03m4x\u00a0<\/strong>Who Will Take Care Of Me – 2:44 – OST 05 Ray and Rachel (2:41)
\nNot sure why the slate number has an x at the end. Is there source music playing when this cue starts in the film?<\/p>\n

11\u00a0ME\u00a0<\/strong>Attacking The Car – 2:51 – OST 09 The Attack On The Car [0:00-2:23] \/\u00a0Unreleased\u00a0<\/em>\/ [2:23-end] (2:44)
\nThere’s a microedit at 2:23.<\/p>\n

12\u00a0MJ SC77\u00a0<\/strong>The Cafe Scene – 1:13 –\u00a0Unreleased<\/em><\/p>\n

13\u00a0MP\u00a0<\/strong>The Ferry Scene – 5:57 – OST 02 The Ferry Scene (5:49)<\/p>\n

\nThe original cue is 24 bars and sketched to run 1:53.50; The CD Extension begins with new bars 21x-24x and continues to bar 57<\/p>\n

17\u00a04m5\u00a0<\/strong>Robbie Joins The Fight –\u00a0Unreleased, Probably never recorded<\/em><\/p>\n

18\u00a04m5 New<\/strong>\u00a0Robbie Joins The Fight – 3:27 – OST 03 Reaching The Country (3:24)
\nThe revision is a new ending starting roughly at 2:12 of the cue (bar 39). I’m assuming the original ending was never recorded.<\/p>\n

19\u00a0MH SC117<\/strong>\u00a0“The Basement Scene” – 2:41 –\u00a0Unreleased<\/em><\/p>\n

20\u00a0MC SC118<\/strong>\u00a0“Harlin Ogilvy” – 2:38 –\u00a0Unreleased<\/em><\/p>\n

24\u00a05m6<\/strong>\u00a0– 3:59 – OST 11 The Confrontation With Ogilvy [0:39-end] (3:55)
\nWilliams apparently never titled this cue.<\/p>\n

25\u00a06m1\u00a0<\/strong>The Basket Scene – 3:17 – OST 13 Escape from the Basket [6:24-8:04] \/\u00a0Unreleased<\/em>\u00a0\/ [8:04-8:31] \/\u00a0Unreleased<\/em>\u00a0\/ [8:34-end]<\/p>\n

26\u00a06m2\u00a0<\/strong>The Entrance To Boston – 4:35 – OST 12 The Return To Boston (4:29)<\/p>\n

27\u00a06m2 Insert<\/strong><\/p>\n

28\u00a06m2 New Insert<\/strong>\u00a0–\u00a0Unreleased<\/em><\/p>\n

6m2 Insert<\/strong>\u00a0is a replacement for bars 28-34 (begins at roughly 1:46) and was included in the original version of the cue before recording.
\n6m2 New Insert<\/strong>\u00a0is a replacement for bars 17-22 and was recorded separately. It was used in the film but is not on the OST.<\/p>\n

29\u00a06m3\u00a0<\/strong>Reunion In Boston – 2:39 – OST 10 The Separation Of The Family (2:36)<\/p>\n

30\u00a06m3cmaj\u00a0<\/strong>Reunion In Boston – 1:58 – OST 14 The Reunion [1:30-2:01] (0:31)<\/p>\n

31\u00a06m3 Alt<\/strong>\u00a0“Boston Street” – 2:00 –\u00a0Unreleased<\/em><\/p>\n

32\u00a06m3 New<\/strong>\u00a0– 2:01 –\u00a0Unreleased<\/em><\/p>\n

33\u00a06m3 Horn & Piano Version<\/strong>\u00a0– 2:01 – OST 14 The Reunion [0:00-1:30] (1:30)
\nOK this could possibly be the most revised cue of Williams’ career so buckle in. The original pass at the cue was simply called 6m3 Reunion In Boston and appears in complete form on the OST in track 10 (Strangely titled “The Separation Of The Family). The first 40 seconds correspond to the scene where the army surrounds a tripod and a dying alien falls out; The rest of the cue is William’ original version of Tom Cruise’s reunion with his family on the streets of Boston. The army\/alien music was only written and recorded once, while the street reunion scene was rewritten and recorded many times!<\/p>\n

First came\u00a06m3cmaj<\/strong>, which was the same music for the street reunion, only transposed to C Major. Another slight difference is that extra piano twinkling was added towards the end. A small piece of this cue, including the extra piano, can be heard on the OST, in track 14 from 1:30-2:01.<\/p>\n

Next came a total rewrite of the reunion music that Williams titled “Boston Street” numbered\u00a06m3 Alt<\/strong>, but this was ultimately not used at all.<\/p>\n

Next came another revision, this time simply called\u00a06m3 New<\/strong>. This version is string-heavy, and is unreleased and wasn’t used. Instead, he slightly revised it as\u00a06m3 Horn and Piano Version<\/strong>, which is the same basic music as\u00a06m3 New<\/strong>, only played by horn and piano instead of strings. This cue is mostly heard on the OST opening up track 14, however towards the end it segues to\u00a06m3cmaj\u00a0<\/strong>as mentioned above.<\/p>\n

Phew!<\/p>\n

34 Pull Back Shot (Ver 1) – 0:56 – OST 14 The Reunion [2:01-2:17] (0:16) \/\u00a0Unreleased<\/em><\/p>\n

35 Pull Back Shot (Ver II) – 0:44 – OST 14 The Reunion [2:36-end] (0:40)<\/p>\n

Pull Back Shot (Ver 1) continues on directly from the ending of 6m3 (any of the versions). However, in the film as well as on the OST, music from 1m2 Prologue is tracked in after only using 16 seconds of the original cue (this tracked music is heard from 2:17-2:36 of track 14 from the OST). Pull Back Shot (Ver II) is then heard in its entirety in the OST and film.<\/p>\n

36\u00a06m4\u00a0<\/strong>Epilogue – 3:14 – OST 15 Epilogue (3:11)<\/p>\n

BTW, I have no idea what is up with the MA -> MQ naming. My only guess is that Williams had to start writing music earlier than usual and the film wasn’t split up into reels yet, so he just started writing music for scenes as they came in, and the first one he wrote he labeled MA, then MB, etc, until eventually the whole film was assembled and they switched to standard 1m1 notation then. Just a guess, though.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
