The material was donated in an unordered fashion in cardboard boxes. The material bequeathed to the QUT is held in the Music and Sound building of the Faculty of Creative Industries. It's dated 2010 and there is no mention of the music itself but I'm wondering if the restoration on the sheet music actually commenced and if so how successful was it? This is a short excert from a publication I stumbled across online. The original multi-track masters were destroyed by the recording studios to recycle the tapes.Ĭan't this be used to release a complete score version? Where do you think the boo*** unreleased tracks come from, since the original masters were erased forever?įrom what happens to be Mono Music Stems. I thought he was still amongst us, hedgehogs and all. My god, have I missed something on the news ?. He could also write an excellent theme unlike many of today's composers who have serious problems in that area. Brian May was a terrific composer who knew exactly what a movie wanted to make it even better. I’d be happy with a complete MM2 using similar mastering magic on the stems if they exist? I was very impressed with the work that was done with music stems as a source tor both Fall of the House of Usher and Star Trek The Animated Series. I assume the technology must have gotten better - and cheaper - since then.ĭo the music stems from Mad Max 2 exist? Not ideal but better than nothing and with careful mastering I’m sure could be slotted in with the tracks that already exist on the official soundtrack. Whilst opinions are varied as to the surround mix itself, it’s impressive the technology that was used to seperate out the elements. This technique was pioneered for the blu-ray release of Psycho back in 2010 whereby they digitally separated out the music and other elements for the basis of a new 5.1 sound mix. I live in hope that one of these days they’ll be an affordable plug-in available which allows soundtrack labels to extract the music from a film (assuming a separate music stem doesn’t exist) accurately.

So even re-recording it would be a bit of a chore.Īlso I'm told his original written scores have been seriously water damaged as well. Sadly, the original multi-track masters were erased by the recording studio in order to save money and re-use the tapes.Īlso I'm told his original written scores have been seriously water damage as well. Over the years several scores that people said were lost were found and released, so maybe one can hope. Plus, I found a version someone extract from the blu ray audio tracks and it is quite good. But there is a boo**** floating around with more music.

I read that the masters of this soundtrack are lost forever. General Discussion: Brian May's MAD MAX 2 Complete Score? FSM Board: Brian May's MAD MAX 2 Complete Score?
