English Dub Soundtracks

[Lazuli]

As I watch the anime, I keep encountering all these tracks that I really love but are only on the English dubbed versions and so are not on official soundtrack releases. Does anyone know where I can find these?

There really aren't any. The only dub instrumentals released commercially are from the first three movies.

There are some very few, not released commercially but by Manny Corallo himself. This is one example:

Oh, I wish. Some of the soundtracks are actually quite good. I liked a lot of the dub BGM 4Kids used, actually *hides in the corner*. I really liked that soundtrack they used to open a lot of their dub eps with, like if Ash and co. were eating food or training and stuff.

Some of the TPCi dub insert songs are pretty good, too. DuArt's stuff drives me up the wall, though--I can't stand much of their replacement BGM.

Which is ironically funny, because apparently John Loeffler and Manny Corallo still make the newer dub soundtracks, but were apparently told to make them more "modern" by TPTB. I generally tend to like their earlier efforts more myself.

Of course I don't see the point in replacing the JPN BGM in the first place, but that's not my call to make.

As someone else said the movie soundtracks are the only way to get any dub music. Luckily most of my favourite 4kids dub music is on CD. I found anything outside of that sounding quite generic to me.imo

I personally wish I could get more TPCI dub music on cd. There's alot of tracks I like from them that I can't get.........
Trust TPCI to make a tune that ended up being my most favourite tune of any show and yet I can't get hold of it.=(

I feel your pain. In my case, trust 4Kids to come up with the two tunes I really liked in all of the dub, that were never released by them. *sigh*

I have some TPCi tunes I actually like too. I wish I could show you which ones I like, but we can't post any clips of the anime here, so it makes it hard to show which ones I like and which ones I dislike from 4Kids and TPCi, respectively.

While my favorite BGM is the Original JPN BGM, I don't think the dub has had bad soundtracks all the time. 4Kids' are very redundant, but they have a really classic feel to them to me.
