The Transformers The Movie: Original Motion Picture Soundtrack - Notes

Notes

  • The original recorded version of "Instruments of Destruction" had slightly different lyrics from the one that ended up being used. The words "foreplay", "torture", and "seduction" were deemed offensive and were replaced with "fortune", "torment" and "eruption" respectively.
  • "Nothin's Gonna Stand In Our Way" was a cover of a song originally performed by Australian singer John Farnham for the soundtrack to the film Savage Streets.
  • "Hunger" was later covered on King Kobra's Ready To Strike album.
  • Anime series Dancouga later featured an image song performed by Kazuki Yao titled "Ai o Shitta Yajū no Yō ni" (愛を知った野獣のように), which heavily borrows from "Dare", down to a note-for-note intro and identical synths throughout the track.
  • Power-metal band N.R.G. has since been reborn as Damn Cheetah, with a first album release titled Primal.
  • The Lion cover version of the main Transformers theme was itself covered on the NES by chiptune artist Inverse Phase and renamed to "NESformers".
  • "Subsong 2" from the Commodore 64 game Turrican is actually the song "Escape" from The Transformers: The Movie soundtrack. Similarly, the game ending music is based on "The Death of Optimus Prime".
  • The Bonus tracks are made up of songs found in Til All Are One and Lighting Their Darkest Hour albums.
    • "Unicron Medley" is made up of the songs "Unicron's Theme", "Witness to a Funeral" & "The Enemy Revealed". "Unicron's Theme" and "The Enemy Revealed" are based on Ivan Drago's theme from DiCola's Rocky IV soundtrack.
    • "Moon Base 2 - Shuttle Launch" is the song "2005"
    • "Megatron Must Be Stopped (Parts 1 and 2)" are made up of the songs "City Under Siege" & "Showdown"

Famous quotes containing the word notes:

    “My weary limbs are scarcely stretched for repose, before red dawn peeps into my chamber window, and the birds in the whispering leaves over the roof, apprise me by their sweetest notes that another day of toil awaits me. I arise, the harness is hastily adjusted and once more I step upon the tread-mill.”
    —“E. B.,” U.S. farmer. As quoted in Feminine Ingenuity, by Anne L. MacDonald (1992)

    “The night is itself sleep
    And what goes on in it, the naming of the wind,
    Our notes to each other, always repeated, always the same.”
    —John Ashbery (b. 1927)

    “What neat repast shall feast us, light and choice,
    Of Attick tast, with Wine, whence we may rise
    To hear the Lute well toucht, or artfull voice
    Warble immortal Notes and Tuskan Ayre?
    He who of those delights can judge, and spare
    To interpose them oft, is not unwise.”
    —John Milton (1608–1674)
