Ivory Tower: Giorgio Moroder theme

http://www.televisiontunes.com/Neverending_Story_-_Ivory_Tower_%28The%29.html
This FAIR USE upload is the Ivory Tower theme as it appears in the US/ international version of The Never Ending Story. This replaced the original theme composed by Klaus Doldinger for the German Version. Unfortunately, this theme has never had an official soundtrack release, only a longer synthesized version that was also used in the theatrical trailer.
So I recorded this off the region 1 dvd. I tried to isolate the music from any sound effects or dialog by swapping between the two different parts of the movie where it is played. The visuals show you which part the music is sourced from.

Hopefully, Warner Bros. will release a special edition dvd of the movie with a complete soundtrack.

So I finally added a link in the description. Didn't realize television tunes had posted my submission until yesterday.

The special effects back then are so much better than CG

[dmassive]

Really Amazing!!! Cool things without stupid computers! I hate the new CGI movies!!

@destroyer8604 that would be bitchin

[pointblizzy]

Maybe we should find out who put the DVD together. In order to have this song in the main menu, he must have the access to the unedited audio file

why isn't this version on the neverending story soundtrack composed by klaus whatever his last name is? the ivory tower theme on my soundtrack seems all techno and totally not this theme! i love this theme better!!!

Everytime I reconnect with anything that has to do with The Never Ending Story I feel so happy. And I get more and more convinced that all those Final Fantasy games are based on this. Thank you for a beautiful childhood, Michael Ende.

I reeeeeally prefer this version.... so magical!

@Knightmessenger Completely agree! stop with the tinting, it looks cheap, it's good for some scenes, but not for a whole movie.

this is NOT doldinger.

try this:

The Ivory Tower - original score by Doldinger

can t post the link, youtube as always :P

maybe you ll share my opinion that it fits the movie MUCH better than moroders version :)

[ArnyBoy]

@koppsr I thought this was Doldinger's version :/ I'm confused now, which version was composed by Doldinger and which version was composed by Moroder?

[ArnyBoy]

@KeithWasHere1 Those are my favorite fantasy movies :) as much as I love The Lord of the Rings, it's just impossible to beat the 80's.
