Thanks for the review DZM.
Sounds like it's worthwhile, and that it could be really interesting...

The additional tracks are very much "incidental" music for scenes in the movie (the quiet background kind of stuff that helps give a scene a mood). It's entertaining, but something I'd recommend mostly for fans that want a complete collection rather than people looking for a collection of music that they will listen to endlessly.

All my own humble opinion of course. I really like it.

Just wondering if anyone has it, and what are the extra tracks like??

Oh, great can't wait.
