mstrox 6,647 Posted November 30, 2017 Share Posted November 30, 2017 Heidi is really lovely. Not $50 lovely - no one-disc score is - but original price lovely. The Long Goodbye is a challenging and worthwhile listen, but not one I'll put on with any regularity. I could have done without the bonus rehearsal tracks, too, tbh.

mstrox 6,647 Posted November 30, 2017 Share Posted November 30, 2017 Not musically challenging - challenging to sit through in its entirety, but worth listening to once or twice. Images is more rewarding. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Disco Stu 15,495 Posted November 30, 2017 Share Posted November 30, 2017 Yeah, like I said above for me it's best enjoyed in the context of the film. Your mileage may vary I suppose. "Nice to listen to once or twice" isn't worth 17 Euros to me. Good stuff though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With many, many releases, I feel like I got much more than my money's worth out of it - they pay dividends!

Not every single score is worth 20+ dollars to own separately though, only 99% of them are. That's just me. I don't think it denigrates his work in any conceivable way to say so.

What? these are great scores. Ok, the avant-garde parts in Images may be off-putting, but Heartbeeps is a very good mainstream Williams score! Don't let the fame of the film affect you.
