One of the reasons for this is that I love the score.Įchoing posts above, it's about moments, as much as whole chunks of music. It's the film I've watched the most times I never get tired of it. When anyone asks me what my all time favourite movie is, I have to reply "Mad Max 2". The album version of Marauders Massacre seems to be an edit excising the build up but I've listened to this track in the film many times and can't really find where or how they've made the edit cleanly. Then there's my personal favourite awesome set piece as Max brings back the truck. Some of the short 40 second or so transitional cues are indeed the best, like the Mars Bringer of War like 'Discovering the Compound' or the grinding ostinato as Max catches up to the gyro captain. Was it recorded for the album? Or just a truncated version of the cue? In the film, the buildup at the beginning is much longer.Īnd yes, I love this score to bits. I've always wondered about "Marauder's Massacre". My fear is someone will release this & botch it by missing all the very short cues that are among the best parts. Hell, I recorded onto cassette from the laserdisc years ago & THAT sounds better - surprisingly crisp, the film mix is really good.
But its all we have & I still play it often.
30mins minus the useless sound efx reprises, sequencing that is.questionable, poor sound. The Varese is one of the worst produced things ever. Yes, David, that 'thing' is a no-no & a real mess anyway. Well Max & Warrior Woman Virginia Hey do exchange a look, so I guess that's one spot. It seems to be the real deal but monosounding. Sorry if Ibring up something hush hush, but what is the 21 track 50 minutes album I have seen? Just walk away, and I'll spare your lives! That movie, besides being a classic entertainment, really is a showcase for music. I'm always amazed this score never gets more love. not really a place for it though is there!īring on the film stems! :-/ Or wait just a few more years until technology can REALLY enhance those elements, if that's truly all that's left. My #1 favorite score, what got me into music in theįirst place. The question is are the Film Stems still out there?Īnd is there any more music on the mono tape? The story about this great score is also known, General Discussion: Brian May:Mad Max II The Road Warrior Track Listing 1.FSM Board: Brian May:Mad Max II The Road Warrior This edition contains the original score plus extended & alternate cues never released.
this expanded score truly shows how much talent the late Brian May had and was very underrated as a composer. Regarded as one of the classic scores from the early 1980’s. George Miller’s apocalyptic vision was enhanced ten fold by May’s dramatic. Description Brian May’s stunning score to the hit sequel Mad Max 2 The Road Warrior.
