Wojo 2,453 Posted April 21, 2010 Share Posted April 21, 2010 I have been to every single brick and mortar store in the four county area, and nobody had it in the store. So I placed an order at MM last week, along with RoboCop and Dragonslayer for the $1 shipping, and How to Train Your Dragon showed up before either of the other two.

Charlie Brigden 7 Posted April 21, 2010 Share Posted April 21, 2010 I look forward to listening to it.Also, this isn't a soundtrack, but I bought an awesome VHS boxset of THE IRON GIANT for £1 in a charity shop. Obviously not interested in the tape itself, but what's awesome is that it came with a figure of the giant and a copy of the original Ted Hughes book.

Yeah, Vinnie, is a tough (impossible?) act to follow, but a great drummer to emulate. All this has put me in the mood for "I'm Tweaked/Attack Of The 20 lbs Pizza"!

crocodile 7,988 Posted April 30, 2010 Share Posted April 30, 2010 Metropolis Symphony/Deus Ex Machina by Michael Daugherty (Naxos)I was alrady familiar with the first piece. This is a fun, entertaining music. I think I like this version even better. The second piece is also nice (it sounds familiar though). A fine CD overall.Karol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jay 37,319 Posted May 1, 2010 Share Posted May 1, 2010 I came home from vacation to find the Korean LP of Hook waiting for me! It's a pretty cool collectible I hope to get John Williams to sign for me the next time I see the Boston popsAfter playing some disc golf with friends, I came back to find today's mail had arrived, and my package from La La Land with ID4, Poseidon Adventure, and my signed ID4 booklet in it.

Maglorfin 196 Posted May 2, 2010 Share Posted May 2, 2010 - Gustav Holst - The Planets for 2 pianosThis sounds intriguing. Details please!As you probably know, Holst originally scored The Planets for piano duet (only Neptune was written for solo organ), orchestration was only done by him later (and with the help of some of his students (particularly in writing it out, because of his painful neuritis)). So after having listened to many "regular", large orchestra versions, I became very interested in the original, two pianos version which is in itself also very fascinating, as it's most interesting hearing this great work in its concept form. So far, I have this and this recording and I recommend both of them warmly, especially of course to The Planets fans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marian Schedenig 8,176 Posted May 2, 2010 Share Posted May 2, 2010 I must've known about the original piano version (it sounds vaguely familiar), but I had completely forgotten about it. I have to hear this (I generally like transcriptions of orchestral works for 2 pianos... I still have to track down a recording of Sacre du printemps). Which of the two recordings you linked to would you prefer, if any? I'm still wary of 90s Naxos recordings, I have to admit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Datameister 2,037 Posted May 10, 2010 Share Posted May 10, 2010 Just ordered Crimson Tide (used) and Independence Day, on a little bit of an impulse. Realized I had more funds to work with than I thought, so I thought I'd spend a whopping $6 on the former...and then figured I may as well get the latter while I still could, too.

Maglorfin 196 Posted May 13, 2010 Share Posted May 13, 2010 Which of the two recordings you linked to would you prefer, if any?To me, the Nettle & Markham version is slightly better, but also the Naxos CD is great so you can't miss with either of them.What about RSNO Naxos recording. Is it any good?It's good. I wouldn't go so far as to call it a masterpiece but rest assured that it ranks among the better The Planets recordings. However, my personal favourite is (and will always remain) Charles Dutoit's recording with the Montreal Symphony Orchestra. One of the finest classical CDs ever, in terms of performance and interpretation as well as recording and listening quality. Ordered yesterday from SAE:- A Guide For the Married Man- JAG- The PianistAnd from La La Land:- Lost in Space (2 CD)- Spaceballs- Blazing Saddles- Childs Play- Not Without My Daughter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trent B 337 Posted May 18, 2010 Share Posted May 18, 2010 Deputy Riley on FSM is selling some CD's and I'll be getting the following from him...The Italian Job - PowellX-Men 3 - PowellThe Abyss - SilvestriU.S. Marshals - GoldsmithI haven't paid for them yet but I will when I get paid on June 2nd so they're on hold for me for the time being. I was hoping he'd still have Tyler's Timeline but he doesn't any more but that's cool, I think that's still available from Varese. Total for all four CD's are $32 with shipping.All are considered "In Very Good Condition" according to Riley. Looking forward to getting them into my collection. The only one I had before was The Abyss, however, it was one of the casualties before I moved from Vegas. It'll be nice to have it again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marian Schedenig 8,176 Posted May 22, 2010 Share Posted May 22, 2010 From Play, taking advantage of a "2 for 1" sale where the total price for any two discs in the sale was actually slightly less than the price for the Who album alone would have been:Blur: BlurThe Who: QuadropheniaAnd Amazon.at had (or has) a huge opera sale, so I ordered these last weekend:Bernstein: Mass (Alsop)Bernstein: Candide (Bernstein)Bartok: Bluebeard's Castle (Dorati)Bruckner: Mass No.1 (Matt)Cilea: Adriana Lecouvreur (Levine)Debussy: Pelleas et Melisande (Boulez)Faure: Penelope (Dutoit)Glass: Satyagraha (Keene)Janacek: The Cunning Little Vixes (Mackerras)Janacek: Jenufa (Mackerras)Janacek: Kata Kabanova (Mackerras)Prokofiev: War and Peace (Rostropovich)Puccini: Il Trittico (Maazel)Schoenberg: Moses und Aron (Gielen)Strauss: Ariadne auf Naxos (Sinopoli)Strauss: Eine Alpensinfonie (Sinopoli)Strauss: Elektra (Sinopoli)Strauss: Elektra (Solti)Thomas: Mignon (Almeida)Some of these are replacing old CDRs, some of these I've wanted for some years, and some others I've never heard but thought looked interesting. This should keep me busy for the rest of the year... aside from all those limited soundtrack releases, I'll try to pick up little more new music over the next few months.

Kendal_Ozzel 36 Posted May 23, 2010 Share Posted May 23, 2010 Recently got Craig Armstrong's 2-disc The Incredible Hulk. Been meaning to since it came out, especially to support these kinds of releases. Listening to it now... it's really good!Also, I did something I never do: I paid a somewhat high price for an OOP CD on eBay. (Although under $50 isn't too bad, for this, IMO.) It was FSM's The Paper Chase/The Poseidon Adventure. I figured if I was ever going own The Paper Chase, I should go for it now while there's a few of these on the market.
