I'm sure there are unreleased portions of the score out there, but the question is how much of it is recorded. I don't quite remember exactly, but I think the recording of the score took place quite late in the game, so it's entirely possible that some of the music written for the original cut just wasn't played.
As for another cd with more of the music, the problem with that is the re-use fees would probably be far too high for that ever to be profitable. If the film had been as big as Lord of the Rings they might've released all the music, but well,
we all know how things went.
The chances of us ever hearing some of it are pretty slim. Maybe if it was recorded a bootleg might one day surface. This happened quite often with the scores of Jerry Goldsmith. And if Desplat owns the rights to the music perhaps it'll be performed at a concert someday (like at the film festival in Ghent).
And of course if the director's cut would ever be released.

It's a shame as I'm sure Desplat would have written a spectacular ending of the score. And I want the sequels as well, he's already written a theme for Lee Scoresby (would it be entirely too awesome if it would feature a banjo?).
As for the suitability of his music within the confines of fantasy films and The Golden Compass in particular. He didn't write the score I imagined the film to have (but then he isn't John Adams), but I think his music fit very well with Weitz's version of the story (version seems better than vision).
Franz Conrad is right about the Lawrence of Arabia moments (the beginning of the Lord Asriel cue springs to mind), those tried too hard to evoke something that wasn't on screen. I do remember liking the trinkly piano filled cue when they sail into a fyord at some point in the film (yeah, I know, not very specific).
And if there was a problem maybe with the bear fight cue then it probably was that it seemed written for something with faster editing.

While technically not 'unreleased' - while working on my reedit I've had to extract the background music of some scenes where the music does not appear on the soundtrack. This can't have all the sound effects and stuff removed but most of them can be - and the overal sound is usually very listenable. I never planned to make this public, but here is a sample mp3 mixdown of one of the tracks that I needed for the edit of the film I'm working on...

The Retiring Room

this could possibly be better - espscially if you got hold of the bluray 7.1 mix and were able to manipulate that, however this one will do and it's from the 5.1 mix. Not perfect as said, but just a proof of concept that worked well enough for me.

I do - but mainly use it for my editing (which I watched through my first draft cut today... I'm already making changes!), I did this track up so people could hear what was there. If you have the film on DVD yourself - get DVD Decrypter - extract the audio (look up how to do this, I won't say how as this site isn't for it) and use the program AC3tools to convert it to WAV then play around with the resulting 6 layered wav file in an audio editor... fun fun

Does anyone knows, what music that is played in the "Definding Dæmons"? I don't think it is on the sound track or in the movie.
