    Does anybody know why the The Chase Bomb Theme on disc 1 is labeled film version? The mix is different from the track on disc 2, but is there any other difference?

    Edit: Okay, I know. On disc 1, the ending is like one beat shorter than on disc 2. I assume the version on disc 2 is the way the track was recorded and disc 1 is an edit (because why would they do that otherwise).

    You got me curious about this, so I compared the two tracks side-by-side. The mix is definitely different in the film version (the tremolo strings are more prominent), but curiously the tempo of the film version is also slower.

    Yes, you're right! I thought it was only the ending that was different, but having synced up the beginning of both tracks, I can confirm the film version is overall slower. Despite this, they both begin playing the ending chord in sync, though the album version finishes later. They are entirely different takes, then.
