Good going, Chuck! Will PM you again but will have to make room in my Inbox. (So, have you finished reading this entire monster thread yet?)Chuck McKnight said:Just PM me again if you'd like it.
This is a very hard call. To my ears, most of the bridging segments have re-used tracks but the extended beginnings of some episodes feature brand new music (ex. "Oganga"). Also, "Daredevils" is double the length of "Palestine" so it very likely contains some new music, too.InexorableTash said:That said: the music was, for the most part, composed for the broadcast episodes. I don't know if any new music was recorded for the bridging segments (it is a re-use in the cases I can think of). This leads me to think that the site should use the broadcast episodes as the primary breakdown, and include DVD chapters and time indexes as secondary.
Since we do have some tracks from the bookends, your idea of using the broadcasts as primary makes sense but like you mentioned, would be near impossible to have a proper timing index.
As for the order, the 4 non-U.S. episodes aired before the 4 Family Channel movies. Not sure about the order of when the new DVD episodes were made but this is a little bit more precise:InexorableTash said:The desire would be a list of distinct compositional units, i.e. the composer sat down and wrote a score for one entry, even if it was broken up for broadcast with distinct bookends. I'm not sure we'll ever know that, unless we had production numbers. Also, I'm unsure of what ordering to use.
