I present a new mix of the rare score for "The Road to El Dorado", by John Powell and Hans Zimmer. What I mean by "new mix" is that this is all the material from the film we have at our disposal: I edited tracks together where I thought it was necessary and renamed the tracks. I mainly used the two different expanded scores available. This edition contains 22 tracks and a cover. We must all thank Forza for the work he did on the original tracks: it has been a joy to find them and I don't feel I gave his work enough (at all) credit! Thank you once again!
NOTE: This is meant to represent the film in the neatest way possible, with the inclusion of the songs written for the film and the two suites available ("Wonders of the New World" and "Cortez Cowboys"). I have decided to excise any and all alternate tracks, including "The Storm - Insert". Therefore, you won't be able to find them here.
Here is the tracklist:
1. El Dorado (1:37)
2. Spain, 1519 - Tullio & Miguel (3:58)
3. Bull Chase - Barrels (1:48)
4. Cortez (0:50)
5. The Brig - Altivo (3:00)
6. Horse Overboard - The Storm (2:29)
7. The Trail We Blaze (3:12)
8. Great Big Rock - Entering the City of Gold (3:35)
9. Stopping the Volcano (2:53)
10. Cheldorado (4:27)
11. It's Tough to Be a God (2:37)
12. To Shibalba - Cortez Lands (2:01)
13. Without Question (2:30)
14. The Ball Game (2:51)
15. No More Sacrifices (1:14)
16. The Jaguar Fight - I've Decided to Stay (3:07)
17. Friends Never Say Goodbye (3:04)
18. Saving El Dorado (5:58)
19. Someday Out of the Blue (Theme from "The Road to El Dorado") (4:48)
20. Without Question (End Credits) (4:47)
21. Wonders of the New World (Suite from "The Road to El Dorado") (5:56)
22. Cortez Cowboys (Suite) (2:27)
Total runtime: 69 minutes / 1 hour, 9 minutes
A lot of hard work as been going into this - out of the love for this movie and its score.
EDIT: First of all, I wanted to thank everyone who asked for the link! You fill my heart with joy!
FINAL EDIT - 25 / 06 / 2018:
Well, time for one last update! I have completed work on the edition, and it is ready to be shared, once again, in its neatest form ever.
I have balanced the volume's tracks, especially of some of the songs ("El Dorado" and "The Trail We Blaze" above all) and tried to give them the most balance possible. I re-edited "Saving El Dorado" and cleaned "Spain, 1519 - Tullio and Miguel", "Bull Chase - Barrels", "Cortez", "The Brig - Altivo" and "Horse Overboard - The Storm" of their horrible mastering errors. I thought about giving "Someday Out of the Blue" the trim to make it match with its film version, but ultimately decided not to since I considered it wouldn't jive with the listening experience (the hard cut without intro works for the song in the context of the cut to black of the film, less so in the context of the album; nonetheless, if demand happens to be high, I'll add the mix into the link). My objective was not to share the album in the best sound quality - because the files are only mp3 and have ever only been that - and because I'm no master of sound restoration. All things considered, I truly hope this album will make you as happy as it made me in the process of putting it together and as satisfied as it makes me to share it.
Finally, I would like to thank everyone who helped me in doing this, and all the authors of this fantastic film and score - the reason I entered this forum in the first place!
Do enjoy, and leave any feedback here in the threads to comment the release.
