Elmer Bernstein's Film Music Collection It's a 12-disc collection of scores that Elmer Bernstein re-recorded in the 1970s (plus one from 2003). -
It's entertaining and worth seeing, but it's not as good as Tommy IMO. - Rob, who spent most of his free time this week watching UK Whose Line is it Anyway? clips on YouTube

It is, far too much, but I'd probably pay it. -

I voted "Meh", though maybe I was being generous.

Isn't the Conti 2500 copies?

I'm going to try and resist listening to any Superman music until my set arrives. -
There's a lot of nice stuff missing from ToD, but I actually find the album very enjoyable.

Just out of interest, did anyone here get an autographed copy? - Rob, who would have liked one, but could in no way justify the extra cost Jerry Goldsmith - The Last Run -

You do get an email, but it's sometimes taken over 24 hours for me to get mine. I wouldn't worry yet. John Williams - The Empire Strikes Back -
The lyrics are corny as hell, but I don't really mind them in the film. I never listen to them on the album, though. John Williams - Star Wars

II is the score I'm least interested in. III has some very nice moments (that I can remember, it's been years since I saw the film, thankfully -- there's probably more than I've forgotten about), and IV is actually a really good score. I'm looking foward to all of them. John Williams - Star Wars -
They've already done a red box. I only know the Elfman scores, and I doubt I'd pay any sort of large amount of money for those. John Williams - Star Wars

Well, I ordered this. Looking forward to hearing all the scores. John Williams - Jane Eyre -

Screen Archives never put the full value on packages, I didn't even get charged duty on the Elmer Bernstein box, and that was $200. -
There Will Be Blood Soundtrack
robthehand replied to Genius_Gone_Insane's topic in General Discussion
I really liked the music in the film. It stuck out, but not in a bad way at all. Not sure if I want to buy the album, but I thought the score was just right for the film. -
I still don't think the film is great in the DC, but I was just blown away by how much better it was than the theatrical cut. I didn't like the TC at all.

I'm not sure about this set. Not for any snobbish reasons, I'm just not sure whether I'd pay that sort of money for those scores. I already have the great edition of Superman. Even if it's not perfect sound quality, it's more than adequate. I would quite like to own the sequel scores, but there's an awful lot else I could buy for that much. The $120 plus international shipping plus possible import duty could be close to £100 for me. -
Between Raiders and Temple for me - "Anything Goes" is great fun, and a marvellous way to open a movie, but Raiders' "Main Title" is a great piece too. The best bit of "Indy's Very First Adventure" isn't the credits part, but the second half of the cue IMO.

It's not blasphemy to not own Jaws, it's just that you're missing out on one of the greatest scores ever written, and if it's the original album, one of the best film score albums ever.
-
Jaws - "Sea Attack Number One" Close Encounters of the Third Kind - "The Visitors / 'Bye' / End Titles: The Special Edition" The Adventures of Robin Hood - "The Battle - The Duel - The Victory" Raiders of the Lost Ark - "Desert Chase" The Bride of Frankenstein - "The Creation" Superman: The Movie - "The Big Rescue" Star Trek: The Motion Picture - "The Enterprise" Vertigo - "Farewell and The Tower" Star Wars - "The Battle of Yavin" Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan - "Genesis Countdown" Star Trek III: The Search for Spock - "Stealing the Enterprise" Goldfinger - "Dawn Raid on Fort Knox" On Her Majesty's Secret Service - "This Never Happened to the Other Feller" Outland - "Hot Water" (haven't got the CD with me, not sure if this is over 5 minutes) And many others.
-
And in Goldfinger, the gangsters have a few classic lines - "What's with that trick pool table?" "Hey, what is this, a merry-go-round?" and the best one of all... "I thought we had a private business deal to settle, now I find I'm attending a hood's convention!"

Soundtracks, Compilations, or other recently purchased Music
robthehand replied to ashinyobject's topic in General Discussion
I may be imagining it, but the additional tracks seem to be at a lower volume than the ones from the original album. Did you notice that? Doesn't really bother me though, and I still play the album all the time. There's a wonderful bit in "The Trio" that wasn't in the film, from 4:28 to the end. The film version is much faster and without the trumpet. Shame, because that's one of my favourite bits on the album. -
Music in Film Trailers - what's going on?

Which makes sense, since he hosts a stupid talk show. Which isn't funny. <_<
