Intrada Soundtrack Forum

Anyone know where I can find her?

Stylotone released the original recording in a deluxe package, which seems long out-of-print. I had it ready for order, then canceled thinking I could buy it later when it made sense financially.

Stylotone has its defenders, but I wonder if another label can now acquire the rights and bring it out for the rest of us.

It vanished from my wishlist too. Being content with what's out there - someone is bound to try again.
The "board fade-out" mastering sounded horrible.
30 second cues with a third of it fading away?
A joke.

I'd love to hear from anyone to defend? I think the epic thread at FSM is another "shipping/ordered....crickets" spectacular. There may have been a couple pages on the mastering...I cant stomach searching it out....

Yeah, the fades are especially problematic.

If I am to believe what one soundtrack producer of an unrelated label said, Intrada had this score planned before it was swiped by Stylotone/Herrmann estate. It seems that the latter received deference from Universal, hence my concern that another label may not be able to work on this one.

In tossing my opinion out, yep, the inexplicable fade-outs absolutely destroyed my interest in ever playing this masterful Herrmann/Hitchcock release again. Presenting this music as if every cue needed slow 'pop music' fades is probably the most disrespectful decision I've ever encountered on a release like this. In my opinion, a legitimate release of the soundtrack to Marnie still awaits.

Good lord, they did that? They did fade-outs of orchestral film music cues of MARNIE? Really? Who in their right mind ever thought that was a good idea? I would be surprised if even a single person who is actually in the target group of those who might consider buying Bernard Herrmann's original recording of MARNIE thinks fading out cues is a good idea. I'm stunned and ask again: who in their right mind ever thought that this is a good idea?

I don't like cross fades either.

This score is cursed. Universal finally brought it to download, though I had to use Audacity to snip 4 seconds of extra silence off of each track, except for the final "Cast" cue. That's about 4 minutes of superfluous silence eliminated.

I suppose this is the best we'll get for Marnie. She always deserved better.
