I know this is off topic but I'm reminded of another movie from 1984 that featured music by Moroder: The Never Ending Story. Klaus Doldinger co-scored it. On the US soundtrack cd, Moroder's music was snyched up and different from the actual US version music. The remix on the soundtrack sounds terrible. The parts by Doldinger are intact and are brilliant. There is a German release cd but I believe that just has the Doldinger music. (Some music by Doldinger was replaced by Moroder in the US version) Are there any isolated tracks of Moroder's music from NES floating around. The biggest example is the Ivory Tower theme. You can hear the Doldinger music here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=neXK5BEiXyw

To my knowledge, there is no version of the Moroder Ivory Tower theme as used in the US movie version out there. The one on the US cd was used in the trailer. I actually made one myself by recording the two scenes off the dvd and combining them to minimize dialog/sound effects. But there are a few parts that sound garbled and I don't have the ability to use any effects or filters.

So, again, I know it's not really related by anybody a fan of The Never Ending Story or know more about how the movie was scored?
