> Good grief... no wonder the official album credits were so messy.

I remember plenty of talk about that when it was about to come out - namely when Film Music Reporter released the full list of credits and we all lol'd over how many people were on it. Heck, I'm the one who started the convo here, and I forgot I did that! https://www.filmtracks.com/scoreboard/forum.cgi?read=109780

I could've sworn one reviewer made a comment on Facebook akin to 'I've just heard a score four people wrote over four years, and THIS is what we got?' - but I couldn't find it.

> Also this makes me want to see Maverick is for nothing else than to hear the score/songs in proper context now.

Works surprisingly well. The unreleased initial use of Danger Zone in the score as the timetable gets moved up is subtle, but clever - one of those 'most people won't notice, but the people who do notice will ADORE it' bits that are rare in macho blockbuster action music commissioned by this producer.

> Once again bravo, sir, for such an informative and entertaining read.

Thanks! But understand I never want to read another article about Top Gun: Maverick for the rest of my life.
