Arpy 4,145 Posted January 17, 2019 Share Posted January 17, 2019 Picked up First Man today, it wasn't a score I was really looking to purchase, but stumbled across it at my local retail outlet. I haven't really listened to it outside of the film, but The Landing really is an outstanding piece! Plus the packaging is beautiful even if it doesn't contain any notes from Hurwitz or Chazelle. I also ordered both How to Train Your Dragon 2 and How to Train Your Dragon: The Hidden World, two tremendous scores that will complete my collection of all three films/scores.

Jurassic Shark 12,055 Posted January 17, 2019 Share Posted January 17, 2019 So, is "Chinatown" any good? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Incanus 5,714 Posted January 17, 2019 Share Posted January 17, 2019 Yeah pretty decent. It is from a relative unknown Jerrald Goldsmith. I have been putting off acquiring this complete version for far too long seeing that it is one of my favourite JG scores. Vintage film noir music. The Wrath of Khan is actually pretty much the same case. I never got around to getting it until now. It is about time. Apollo 13 has been on my Horner wishlist for quite some time. I was never happy with the original "souvenir" album with dialogue excerpts and period songs interspersed with Horner's score. Wonderful to see Intrada made it happen.

Jurassic Shark 12,055 Posted January 17, 2019 Share Posted January 17, 2019 From the same company that gave us Chicken Run, Wallace & Grommit, and Shaun the Sheep! ...and of course one of the composers contributed on both the score to Early Man and the classic Chicken Run score.

Popular Post Holko 9,519 Posted January 21, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted January 21, 2019 The Spielberg/Williams/Matessino/LLL Horrors of WWII duology. MusicBox packed an extra empty dual CD case - regardless of whether for extra padding or because EotS has a tiny crack in the bottom right, I'm thankful for it! "But Holk", some needlessly attentive of you may ask, "You said Schindler wasn't for you and you'd leave these limited copies for us and were glad for those of us who wanted it - you couldn't even get past Immolation when you tried because it wasn't your thing? Hope we didn't pressure you into wasting your money with all our "best score ever" and "must have for any Williams fan" talk!" You see, the most curious thing happened. I listened to the OST all the way through last Sunday about a month after I tried and failed. Next day I ordered this. simple as that.

Yes, that's the cycle I meant. I have 1-8 on four individual CDs (1 & 3, 2 & 4, 5 & 7, 6 & 8) in their first CD incarnations, the DG "Resonance" series with yellow spines and white inlays. Bought them in the mid-90s when I first got into soundtracks, classical music, and CD collecting, for 80 Austrian Shilling each I think. I picked up the 9th much later in the "Originals" series, although in that case I believe I do prefer Szell (despite Karajan having Janowitz).
