This cd was once rumored to have been issued in Tangerine Dream's native Germany but nothing concrete has ever surfaced to our knowledge until now (5/8/99). A bootleg (similar to the 'Blade Runner' and 'Excalibur' bootlegs from 1994) was said to be coming out in December 1994. It was said to be basically the same as the tape version except that there would be an extended piece on 'The Unicorns' that was recorded live and was broadcast on German radio.
The copies of this bootleg would probably have been.extremely. limited.
We thought this bootleg would never surface since Varese Sarabande has released an official version of the CD but we were wrong. Please don't ask me where to get this bootleg - I don't know yet. According to Jeff Stevenson or ICQ number (312642): I have 3 pieces of info on this bootleg: 1) On February 1, 1998 a German Radio broadcast called Radio Eins Electrobeats had Jerome Froese on as a guest. As part of the unreleased music he presented that hour was a different version of the 'Unicorn Theme' from the Legend soundtrack. Instead of Jon Anderson singing they had a singer named Susanne Pawlitzki. There is a boot of this floating around.
2) There was an actual boot of the Legend Soundtrack made and copies of it also are 'floating around'. The boot is essentially the same as the commercial release but also includes 4 additional tracks from the movie plus a remix of The Unicorn Theme. It also has 'outdoor sounds' all thru the disc and between tracks.
3) If you are really diehard into the music, there are a couple other variations on the Legend music. On a TD commercial release entitled Dream Music 2 there is an interpretation of the (TD) Legend music done by Mark Ayres.it's about 7 minutes long (the CD has various soundtrack music on it). There also was another bootleg of TD music called Electronic Orgy that is a a 4 disc set. It has a 7 minute portion of the Unicorn Theme on it.the nice thing is that the ending of the song is more developed. There is no voice over of Oona ('to believe in the good of man') but the music carries on for about 1 1/2 minutes longer than on the Legend OST. This is the best part of the whole song IMHO. There is also a disc called Tangerine Ambience 1 that has other artists playing TD music that has a Legend suite on it also.
I have not heard this but have been told it is a good variation also. 3 Legend: 20th Anniversary Edition - Tangerine Dream Bootleg 2005(?) by Orange Records Compact Disc: ORCD-20011986 I took the track listing from this bootleg release and compared it to the official Tangerine Dream release and the official song titles are in ( ): 1 - Prologue - NEW!

Compact Disc: SSD 1038 Time: (See below) (American and International Soundtrack) Currently available on 'Born On The Fourth Of July: Music From The Films Of Tom Cruise' is one track from the Goldsmith score and one track from the Tangerine Dream score. Although the Tangerine Dream cut is a newly orchestrated version and not the original composition, this is a very close rendition with a few varying musical instruments. If you are fond of this score then I suggest seeking out this music collection.

Not one but two lavish spectacles from director Ridley Scott appear in deluxe DVD editions. The summer blockbuster GLADIATOR and the long awaited 1985 fantasy epic LEGEND! LEGEND was an extravagant screen fairy tale in the mold of the brothers Grimm. Tom Cruise stars alongside FERRIS BUELLER'S DAY OFF's Mia Sara! THE ROCKY HORROR PICTURE SHOW's Tim Currey plays the Legend of Darkeness and tries to cloak the world in an everlasting dark and freeze to its core the magical world of unicorns, dwarfs, fairies and elves.
Ridley Scott is the hugely successful director of fantastic array of modern classics - Alien, Blade Runner, Thelma and Louise, and now Gladiator. LEGEND was released in 1986 and was not a particular success. However, what the world saw, and heard, was not, in fact, Ridley Scott's intended vision of the picture. During post production there was executive intervention.
The film was drastically re-cut. Not only did the picture lose some thirty minutes of footage but, in a failed and misguided attempt to make the film appeal to a teen audience, what had already been hailed as one of the greatest scores ever composed by film music legend Jerry Goldsmith, was replaced with an electronic score by Tangerine Dream. To coincide with the DVD release of GLADIATOR, Ridley Scott has gone back into the editing room and rebuilt LEGEND in the shape he always wanted. On top of restoring the missing footage, Scott has restored the original, epic and magical Jerry Goldsmith score. Goldsmith's fantastic musical tapestry includes a huge symphony orchestra, an array of synthesizers, a massive choir as well as a few wonderful songs and dances. This is the official soundtrack release for Ridley Scott's restoration of one of his grandest productions. It features what is truly one of the greatest and most wondrous scores ever composed.
Featuring deluxe packaging and over seventy minutes of music, the release of Jerry Goldsmith's LEGEND is one of the most exciting events of the holiday season!

Reunited The following review of this new CD came from Doug's Archive May 2002 located at:. May 14, 2002 Legend Composed and Conducted by Jerry Goldsmith National Philharmonic Orchestra and Chorus Silva America SSD 1138 Tracks: 14 Time = 70:50 Ridley Scott’s visionary look at a world of unicorns and goblins makes it to British theaters at the end of 1985. What started out as a movie running more than two hours becomes something running around an hour and a half. No one is happy. Except soundtrack fans. Jerry Goldsmith spins a masterpiece.
But there’s molasses with the honey. Filmtrax issues an LP with appalling quality. Unattractive jacket artwork, incredibly noisy pressings. Goldsmith’s intricate, mesmerizing music is sandwiched between layers of noise and neglect. Neglect is a keyword here. Not only is much of Goldsmith’s work truncated in the movie, much of it is truncated on the record, too.
Virtually no notes accompany the album’s release. Making matters most unpleasant, Goldsmith’s entire score is dropped from the American release of the movie.
Mellow pop strains by Tangerine Dream are used instead. Shining some light, a CD appears. Filmtrax retains the dull artwork, continues without sleeve notes. But the noisy vinyl is replaced with a pristine CD.
If only the truncated contents had been addressed. Fast forward to 1993.
Silva Screen issues an expanded edition of the Goldsmith score in new packaging. Better sound, better artwork. But American listeners are still saddled with the Tangerine Dream score. Goldsmith’s music is still only available to audiences outside of the U.S. Silva America issues the Goldsmith score to local fans at last.
A “director’s cut” of the movie with Goldsmith’s music arrives on DVD. What a tapestry for music. Light, timeless conflicts, enchanted forests, goblins, faeries.And, two unicorns. Goldsmith launches with one of the most quasi-mystical “main titles” ever. Synthesizer and strings paint an enchanted forest. The music is distant, minor-keyed.
The atmosphere is soon broken by a noodling motif from the synthesizer. A brief, rapid flutter of tones shaped around an open fifth announces the presence of goblins. We don’t know they’re intent yet but Goldsmith implies. Don’t trust them. A haunting melody for young princess Lili (Mia Sara) graces much of the score. It’s introduced at the start of “My True Love’s Eyes” (with lyrics by John Bettis) as Lili appears, singing, strolling. Goldsmith gives it purity and innocence by keeping harmony exclusively in major.
Goldsmith creates a variety of themes in the score, more than customary. Next up is one for the unicorns.
Their tune’s introduced gently in woodwinds during “The Cottage”, unassuming, then treated in full during “The Unicorns”. It’s a spright idea, fanfare-ish in manner. “The Unicorns” is significant.
In addition to their theme are Lili’s tune, the noodling goblin motif, significant chordal passages for orchestra and chorus, an important melody linking the unicorn horns with world peace. On this release, as with the previous Silva Screen issue, an editing flaw cuts out the French horn fanfare that announces the unicorn motif early in “The Unicorns”.
Only the opening note and traces of the last note are heard. The properly assembled track does appear on the original Filmtrax CD and LP. This is not a fatal flaw, but it’s an annoyance that could’ve been corrected.
Lili’s melody occurs again under the title “Living River” as she sings near one of the unicorns. Goldsmith juxtaposes her tune with the unicorn’s music.
When the unicorn is threatened, Goldsmith invokes a ferocious cry of French horns using the evil goblin motif. A gentle melody (“Bumps and Hollows”) follows, sung by Lili to Jack (Tom Cruise) follows. Darkness assumes control, the world freezes, Jack and Lili are separated.
A new idea is introduced for the faeries, little woodlanders who help Jack. A descending line is introduced during “The Riddle”, becomes a dance-like song that the faeries intone during “Sing The Wee”.
The unicorn/peace melody carries “Forgive Me’. Jack accepts the role of world saviour.
Yet another new idea is heralded during “The Armour”. Heroic trumpet helps Jack gird for his challenge. A weaving tune, it alternates major with minor, always plays on brass or upper woodwinds. “Darkness Fails” is a highlight. Jack’s heroic theme literally does battle with darkness. Brass punch out jagged figures, strings rip, drums pound. Seven minutes of orchestral aggression.
In fact, Darkness does fail. The unicorns return, Jack and Lili reunite, the world is saved.
“Reunited” closes the score with a reprise of several ideas. The actual finish warrants singling out. After using most of his themes, Goldsmith closes everything with two tunes at once, yet neither Jack’s nor Lili’s. The final bars combine the unicorn/peace melody with a fragment of the faerie theme. It’s quiet, profound. Artwork from the original British one sheet is used for the packaging.
It’s the most attractive cover yet. Liner notes reprise earlier Silva Screen text. Contents (including the inexplicable edit) are the same. The score is – of course – the stuff from which legends are made. 10 The Complete Score Jerry Goldsmith's LEGEND - Bootleg Thanks to James for bringing these DVDs to my attention. Compact Disc:???
