Okay, first off, this is something that I almost never do, but I decided to upload a couple of homemade "edited" tracks from the new Star Trek III expanded soundtrack. Let me explain...

I have not yet had the chance to order the new Star Trek III soundtrack from FSM (it's on the list behind about 5 others), and thus I have not yet seen the liner notes. I'm sure they pretty much describe most of this in detail, so I apologize in advance. I absolutely love the new score release, but a couple of things were nagging at me.

First, I noticed one small cue was missing. It's the music that starts when Kirk vows to Sarek that he'll rescue Spock, and ends with David and Saavik beaming down to Genesis. After listening to the cues, (and once again, I apologize if this has already been explained in the liner notes) I figured out that that cue is actually pieced together from little bits of a couple of other cues (namely "Spock Endures Pon Farr" and "The Klingon's Plan"). So, the first cue that I put together is the film-version edit for "Kirk's Vow/Beaming Down To Genesis" (that's the title I came up with, feel free to come up with whatever you like).

The second thing I noticed was regarding the cue "Stealing the Enterprise" - I absolutely love that this track is the proper film version - ALMOST. The one part that really bugged me was that they kept in the short little part that appears at 2:55 (basically right between the moment that Kirk & Co. beam away to the Enterprise and the moment when the Enterprise bridge lights up). Once again, I'm sure this was probably explained in detail in the liner notes, but I have no clue what this was supposed to accompany. So, the second track is the true "film-version" cue of "Stealing the Enterprise". I also extended the very last note of the cue (where the Excelsior breaks down in space) to match the longer length of the note in the film. (Sorry if I seem obsessive, but I kind of am when it comes to film scores. Go figure) :)

As for quality, I used the FLAC versions of the cues to do the editing, then saved both cues as both WAV and 320 mp3 files. And in case anyone is wondering, both cues are completely FREE OF SFX AND DIALOGUE.

One last thing - I kind of hesitated before sharing this. The reason being, I did this little project as a hobby, and thus I'm not a professional editor. My point being, I normally don't share this kind of stuff that I do on my own computer, so if you like the cues, great, enjoy! If not, I apologize and let's just call it a day. :)

Enjoy!

Yes, these things were explained in the liner notes, such as edited music from other scenes and the like, and the dissonant passage of "Stealing The Enterprise" was meant to accompany a deleted scene showing Saavik and David witnessing the Genesis Planet's unstable weather.

Ah. Good to know. Figured it was something deleted. And yes, for the record, I will be buying the CD soon. :)

Awesome! Thanks! Can't wait to get the physical CD!

Nice to meet another crazy person, so i do something else. When i like a cue thats to short for me i extend it :P The is a very catchy tune in Carter Burwells Conspiracy Theory (track has the same name) at the end. I trippled and you can't hear it. It also extended the Captain Archers Enterprise Series maintheme (instrumental version) and took the liberty of adding some guitar sound from other parts of the track over my extensions To my ear its VERY beautiful :)
You can have that, if you like and me, i could use some feedback on it.

FSM support.

Hey, I always LOVE to get any extra stuff, even if it is just small bits and pieces, but it sounds like you have done a really bangup job on this. I'll let you know after I've d/l'd it and listened to it. Thanks for the artwork as well!

@dsguardian: Well done my friend, and thank you SO much for your efforts. The high-quality edit from the remastered, 2 CD set is now the finest version of 'Stealing the Enterprise' that I've ever come across in some 27 years of looking.

My deepest thanks and appreciation for tweaking the one sore point in what has always been one of my favorite score tracks of all time. I saw it on the big screen back in the day, and still get goosebumps to this day when I hear it or see it. :-D

Thank You.

Thank you for the high-quality work on "Kirk's Vow/Beaming Down To Genesis." It wasn't a great loss that it wasn't on the CD when I bought it but I feel much better having it now!

Could you re-up this? I would like to hear your edits, even if they are just tracked cues!

And here are the alternates edited into the film cues:

Tracklist:

Prologue and Main Title (Alternate and Film Version Opening Notes layered together)
Klingons (Alternate Section Added)
Stealing the Enterprise (Original and Film Version Combined)
Return to Vulcan (Album Version Placed at the end, section that is also in the Film Version is abbreviated)

Here's the re-up of my edited film-version tracks:

Thanks for re-uploading these for everyone that may have missed them a couple years ago. I always enjoy having the film version of cues, so this was a very nice addition to the score for me! You did an excellent job!

Yeah now we have the true complete score. Massive thanks.

Just noticed I've somehow never thanked dsguardian for these great edits!! Thank you! I listen to them quite a lot actually. :)

Out of curiosity, where does the "Kirk's Vow (Tracked) / Beaming Down to Genesis" fit chronologically? I haven't seen the film in a long time.

Can anyone re-up these?

Here's the re-up (same formats as before):

Free File Hosting - Online Storage; Upload Mp3, Videos, Music. Backup Files (http://www.peejeshare.com/files/363288291/ST3FVTJH.rar.html)

As for chronological order, "Kirk's Vow/Beaming Down to Genesis" goes right after "Mind Meld," and before "Stealing the Enterprise."

Thanks a lot.

Yes, thanks :) interesting

Dose anyone still have any of these edits? If so I would love to hear.


Thanks,


Rob
