It was released by Decca Records on July 11, 2000 featuring 12 tracks. An expanded edition containing the full score and unused cues processed during the composition and alternate themes, released by La-La Land Records under the "limited edition" of 3,000 units on May 11, 2021. Background For the film's score, Singer approached John Williams to compose music, but turned down the offer as his schedule conflicted with that of '' Star Wars: Episode II – Attack of the Clones'' (2002). Singer then set on his usual composer, John Ottman. However, once Fox pushed ''X-Men'' from December to July, Ottman's commitment to direct '' Urban Legends: Final Cut'' made him unable to work with Singer.

Albums Produced By Michael Kamen
An album is a collection of audio recordings (e.g., music) issued on a medium such as compact disc (CD), vinyl (record), audio tape (like 8-track or cassette), or digital. Albums of recorded sound were developed in the early 20th century as individual 78 rpm records (78s) collected in a bound book resembling a photo album; this format evolved after 1948 into single vinyl long-playing (LP) records played at rpm. The album was the dominant form of recorded music expression and consumption from the mid-1960s to the early 21st century, a period known as the ''album era''. Vinyl LPs are still issued, though album sales in the 21st-century have mostly focused on CD and MP3 formats. The 8-track tape was the first tape format widely used alongside vinyl from 1965 until being phased out by 1983, being gradually supplanted by the cassette tape throughout the 1970s and early 1980s; the popularity of the cassette reached its peak during the late 1980s before sharply declini ...
