I'm going to assume that some legal troubles might prevent it, although the original CD soundtrack is still available. It still would have been nice to get a complete soundtrack to Transformers: The Movie.

 

It seems like such an idea wasn't even considered.

BECAUSE IT SUCKS

 

Sorry- that was the short, obvious answer

 

I have it, but I have serious trouble listening to anything but a handful of songs from it.

I personally enjoy it very much...

 

your answer is to get your hands on a BotCon '97 CD, that'll take care of everything you need

although i agree with darcnarc it was probably based off demand as the original didnt go platinum

 

it is out of print so they could have done so if the WANTED to, but i just saw one in a bestbuy as recent as last month

What would sell (IMO) is a disc like the Led Zeppelin "Encomium" tribute. Several popular bands remaking The Touch, IoD, Dare, Hunger... with their own flavor added.

 

I bet Trent Reznor could make a version of "The Touch" that would sell like crack at a plumbers convention :schin

 

 

My previous statements are assuming that the rest of the world enjoys Transformers as much as I do :redface

i agree with the tribute thing, that would be sweet to have a band like Hinder do Dare or something. With the RHCP doing dare to be stupid of course :D

I think that's a bit much to hope/ask for, personally.

 

I happen to like the instrumental stuff quite a lot, on a musical level (mainly from a drum perspective; it made a lot more sense once I found out that Vince DiCola plays drums as well as keyboard). The songs... eh that's pure nostalgia for me.

 

And BTW the existing soundtrack only has 10 songs on it. The BotCon double CD has every note from the film, and then some.

I'm happy with the Soundtrack and the Score albums. I don't need a 3rd album. Unless Trent Reznor had his way remixing it.

Others could be Apollo 440 & Basement Jaxx.

Was the bass guitar on the album keyboard as well? I'm thinking it was. Anyway, until that soundtrack, I didn't know that that instrument (sound) even existed. I had my Dad's record collection to thank for the lack of low end (like Bart and Lisa looking for bass in that Wacking Day episode).

Yeah that was keyboard bass. He probably did the whole thing himself (except for the electric guitar bits... though that's just a guess; you never know). I just think, what a great/fun opportunity he had to just come up with stuff and be creative. They only gave him storyboards to work with, and he was pretty much given free reign to do whatever he wanted. From a composition standpoint, that's like a dream job. And it's amazing how well the music actually does fit with the movie, considering how little reference material he had to work from.
