[quote=“stanton, post:55, topic:403”]That’s only the german score which uses in 5 scenes music from Django Kill, very effectively in 3 scenes (Ben’s lynching, Maria confronting the Rogers in their house, the final duel). But inconsequent in 2 other scenes, ifthey had used it with more consequence they should also have used it for the scene where the Rogers confront Maria in her house.
For someone like me, who was used to this score for many years, it was disappointing to learn that it wasn’t the original one. On the other hand it must be strange to hear this music for someone who is used to the original score.
Even if it’s hard to accept this, I have to admit that Hosseins score in these scenes has also it’s merits.
Additional to this, the german distibutor had rearranged greater parts of Hosseins original score (there is music instead of silence and reverse), but this remaking/remodeling is mostly inferior compared to the original score.
Generally there is much more music in the german score, too much.
I’ll stick meanwhile of course to the original, but the great thing on the german DVD is that there are both scores on it.

@ Stanton: Ha. You know, when I read this post by Gary Hudson I went back and read a PM you had sent me and I had totally forgotten that you had already mentioned this to me. Sorry about that Bud.
I came back to forum to mention in this thread that you also knew about the German score but you had already posted!
I’m going to have to listen to the German score tonight. Being used to the “original” (and liking it) I’m not sure how the Django Kill score will sound to me, particularly in the scene where Ben is lynched. I thought the almost minimalist soundtrack at that point/scene was really effective (if memory serves me correctly). I’m glad I have both the SPO & Anolis versions.
@ Phil: Is the Atlas Visuals copy widescreen? I assume it probably is, since you did not mention that it wasn’t. Others may have had a different experience but I have found that even the films that they list as A/A- are usually full screen. I’ve gotten about 60 films from them and can only think of a couple that were widescreen. By the way if you want a really nice copy of Sugar Colt, they have it. It says on their website that the version they carry is an A-/B but the version that they sent me when I ordered it was a copy of the SPO widescreen version which is really great looking (A+).
