Hey everyone! Just thought I'd post these since people have looked for the theatrical versions of the Ivory Tower theme from The NeverEnding Story for a long time.

The download link takes you to a folder where there are two versions of the song; The first version is played when you first see the Ivory Tower in the beginning. The second version plays when Atreyu and Falcor find the Ivory Tower floating in space. Both versions are slightly different (tape echo and such).

But the coolest thing about these files is that these are in custom 5.1 .wav format that I created from the Blu-Ray DTS audio.

I removed the center channel with the vocals and then exported the track, replacing the center channel with a mix of the two front channels. These files will play in VLC media player and windows media player (but I think it down-converts it to stereo there) and can also be opened in Audacity with 6 discrete channels to look at!

Enjoy!

This is great!! do you think you could do such a good rip with other tracks missing from the ost? I'm thinking about Artax's Death and the moment when Bastian enters in the bookstore and stole the book... ? anyway, thanks a lot :)

Unfortunately, these scenes are riddled with ambiance sound effects. I can effectively remove center vocals but not sounds like motorcycles (Bookstore) or frogs, insects and mud bubbles (Artax's Death) which are mixed in too deeply to effectively remove. These were easy considering that there were no sound effects in any channel except the center channel.

A rare gem indeed. This should have been included in the soundtrack itself. Too bad it's only 128kbps but still worth a listen. D:

Thank you JCH152 for the movie version of 'The Ivory Tower' :)
It's the only piece of Moroder that i like in the OST. Always liked more of what Klaus Doldinger composed instead of Moroder.

Could you rip this clip https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TT4FFQ3Ugfc from your DVD too? Hope it's possible! I don't care if there are any FX sounds on it.
