It would be very interesting to gather further information about this, and what the reason is why we got additional music in our sound mix and why it wasn´t included in later english sound mixes. Yes, I'm surprised by this, as I understood that cue was initially intentionally excluded as it was felt to undercut the tension of the scene. Later English mixes were always made from the stereo/surround mixes which would explain its continued absence. Why they returned to the older mixes is another question, as time had obviously been taken to mix a stereo version which incorporated the later "mono mix" changes.Originally posted by: Vigo
Even the 5.1 mix from the 2004 SE keeps all the soundeffects from the mono mix, but the musical cue was removed.
Now that's unusual, I would have expected LFL to standardize the "official" mix for all but dialogue by now.
