Don't you hate it when soundtrack albums don't have the music cue you want!

I happen to like a lot of film soundtracks, particularly those by Ennio Morricone, for example.

But so many albums don't have all the music cues specifically used in the film or they are in the wrong order, or are imply different.

I recently got the soundtrack for "Orca". It does not have the main piece of music used in the opening credits of the film. Sure it has every permutation of it, but that's not what I wanted.

Same with the "Wild Geese" soundtrack by Roy Budd. There's a specific piece in the film after the mercenaries have successfully rescued Julius Limbani and are leaving the army base they've just raided in trucks. The music is great but is conspicuously absent from the soundtrack LP.

The "Robocop" OST SE has not got the main march as it appears on the end credits. How, why? It's the definitive track of the film.

I recently "acquired" a special edition of James Horner's soundtrack for Star Trek 2. It boasted additional tracks, but this turned out to be audio ripped directly from the DVD, with the dialogue removed Here's an example "Kill Admiral Kirk".

It's very frustrating

I have a copy of the soundtrack for "The Keep" by Tangerine Dream. Over 75% of the music is not featured in the current cut of the film.

Does anyone else find matter exasperating?

Mind you, I did managed to finally track down the OST to "Hundra" which is possible the most obscure Morricone work I've obtained.

For your enjoyment a piece titled "Chase" from the obscure sword and sorcery film "Hundra".

I'm just listening to the soundtrack CD from Human Traffic, pretty faithful to the film I think.

The OST for Bugsy Malone did not have the film versions of the songs on it

I think they should offer an MP3 as an extra on the CD that contains an isolated music track from the film, so the music is exactly as it is in the film. Not sure how big a 2 hour mp3 file would be, but there is often quite a bit of empty space. Or maybe a download?

i know your gripe with this one, even worse is when a cracking film soundtrack never gets released!

i looked for ages for a soundtrack to 'chasing amy' - couldn't find it anywhere! aaargh!

More computer games need soundtracks released too. GRAW springs to mind.

The Last of the Mohicans OST is well worth the cash if you don't mind some pan pipes.

Might want to hunt around for the Score rather than the Soundtrack instead, the Score specifically contains the music of a reasonable length that was used in the film.

Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure soundtrack heinously misses out the "classical" piece used whilst they all run around the mall.

Fortunately I managed to track it down elsewhere even if I can't remember the name of it now.
