INTRADA Announces: SLEEPY HOLLOW Music Composed by DANNY ELFMAN ISC 464 Intrada brings a taste of Halloween to the world a few months early with this new, 4-CD set of Danny Elfman's dark, serious work for Tim Burton's 1999 adaptation of Washington Irving's Sleepy Hollow. Sleepy Hollow was familiar territory for Elfman: gothic, mythical, creepy, action-packed and romantic. The score features a prominent main theme for the horseman himself. Or is it for Ichabod Crane? Perhaps it's a theme that unifies Crane's childhood and the headless horesman. While the melody is as lyrical as anything Eflman has ever written, it resonates very differently in its various guises throughout the score, whether sung by a boy's choir or by the orchestra playing powerfully over a blasting pipe organ. It's a score that churns and moves in dark powerful currents, a storm of danger and dread. The score in the film runs 95 minutes, from which Hollywood Records culled 68 minutes for its original album presentation. With the support of both Hollywood Records and Paramount Pictures, Intrada presents a 4-CD set of the score, including some rare finds. The first disc presents the original Hollywood Records program. Discs 2–3 cover the complete score as heard in the film, with the fourth disc featuring over 66 minutes of original and alternate versions, often markedly different from the versions ultimately used in the film. In Burton’s version of the story, Johnny Depp stars as Ichabod Crane, a New York City homicide detective in 1799, working at the threshold of scientific advances and advocating the use of new forensics technology in a world full of skeptics. Crane is sent to Sleepy Hollow, just up the Hudson River, to solve a string of mysterious beheadings. There he finds a town full of silence and secrets, the heart of which is the Van Tassel family. Crane untangles a complex web of family history and conspiracy involving a dead pregnant widow, a rewritten will, and a possessed Tree of the Dead. Around every turn is the ghost of a Hessian soldier, riding through town and lopping off heads. In digging up the town’s violent past, Crane ends up exhuming his own—a childhood traumatized by the murder of his witchcraft-practicing mother by his hyper-religious father.

This release looks AWESOME! I'm so excited to get my copy! "It's a score that churns and moves in dark powerful currents, a storm of danger and dread" is a perfect (and wonderfully poetic) way to describe this amazing score. Thank you so much, Intrada! |

Listened to the film presentation of this and I can say this is a great discovery! The sound is indeed pretty cool and I'm pretty much happy with what you guys have done on this! However, I noticed a pretty annoying technical issue on this release: every track has a forced 0.02s plain silence section. While this might sound normal and very minor, the listening experience on disc 1 is definitely affected. The 1999 OST was mastered gaplessly, which basically means that you can sometimes hear the ending of the previous track in the beginning of the next one (or the opening of the next track at the end of previous one). For this release, the 1999 album master seems to have been used, making the new CD also a gapless album. Consequently, the added silence makes the transitions of some tracks very jarring, and this is frustrating because the 1999 OST transitions are fine. Here are two little examples of how it sounds like: Transition between The Church Battle (T13) and Love Lost (T14): https://soundcloud.com/user703053973/sl ... R0dYCteddw Transition between The Final Confrontation (T17) and A New Day! (T18): https://soundcloud.com/user703053973/sl ... 6dvOeEBy6q Do you have any ideas what happened here? Is this a major mastering issue? Chewy |

That doesn't sound good. Maybe something to fix for the next pressings/with replacement discs? |

So is this issue just between Tracks 2/3,13/14,15/16,16/17 and 17/18? Just want to make sure those are all of them. |
