I ordered Daugherty's The Metropolis Symphony. From the samples I've heard, it's a really neat work. Also got Charles Mingus' "Ecclusiastics" on Amazon MP3's.

[Richard P 5,303]

My Intrada order just shipped

Galaxy Quest, plus I gave in and ordered Star Trek: First Contact. The extra music is damn good.

Also just made the classic error: listened to the clips for LLL's other release, Broke Sky. Damn, I rather like this...

[crocodile 9,724]

Got my Alien. Why disc 1 is labelled as disc 2 and disc 2 as disc 1? Weird.

Karol

[Charlie Brigden 7]

Must be a printing error. Mine is labelled correctly.

[crocodile 9,724]

I'm going to sell this set on Ebay for 30000 dollars!

I'm going to sell this set on Ebay for 30000 dollars!

Karol

At least you saw the bright side in this

[crocodile 9,724]

No, I'm keeping this. I like it being this unique.

Karol

[Incanus 5,890]

Well I would too. If there is nothing wrong with the set then such a small mistake which makes the set unique is not a bother.

[Marian Schedenig 11,694]

Hook & Co are still in the mail, but in the meantime Star Trek: First Contact arrived from PeterK's ever reliable MM.com.

[crocodile 9,724]

No Hook in the mail today...

But... Star Trek: First Contact (Goldsmith/Goldsmith/Morley) arrived instead! Listening to it right now. It's actually quite good and sounds great.

Karol

[OneBuckFilms 517]

Been really enjoying First Contact myself since it arrived. PLENTY of playtime for that one.

Waiting on: Rambo III (to complete my trilogy), Back to the Future III (Because I need an old-school Silvestri fix)

All for (including shipping) $41. Love it.

[Jay 46,244]

Holy shit Eve 6 has a new album?? How is it!?

[Trent Hoyt 13]

I havent listened to it yet. I would not have know about the album if it wasnt for the Newbury Comics email.

[Jay 46,244]

Hey you're right, there it is right in my Newbury Comics email. Wow, Our Lady Peace has a new album too!

[Delorean90 47]

Born on the Fourth of July - John Williams

The Adventures of Tintin - John Williams

The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly - Ennio Morricone

[indy4 160]

Got the following from Amazon:

Sound the Bells - John Williams and others

Silence! The Musical (Cast Recording) - Jon and Al Kaplan

Stravsinky: The Rite of Spring and the Firebird Suite - Bernstein and the New York Philharmonic

Wonderful Town - Leonard Bernstein

Poltergiest (OST) - Jerry Goldsmith

I was tempted to get the FSM version of Poltergeist, but as a casual Goldsmith fan I'm not sure the new music would be worth the extra $14.

[crocodile 9,724]

So you bought the Rhino album then?

Karol

[Romão 2,473]

It's more than enough, isn't?

[Incanus 5,890]

It's more than enough, isn't?

I would think so.

[indy4 160]

Yup, I got the Rhino album. The one with 13 tracks.

[OneBuckFilms 517]

Late to the Avengers party, but that score is on it's way. I liked it a lot in the movie, and the samples sounded great at Intrada.

[Incanus 5,890]

The Film Music of Erich Wolfgang Korngold Volume 2: The Sea Hawk

[crocodile 9,724]

Dark Shadows

Karol

[indy4 160]

Just bought the following:

America, The Dream Goes On - John Williams and the Boston Pops

Dvorak: The New World Symphony - Paavo Jarvi and the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra

The first has a couple pieces I've been meaning to get--Hoe Down, Fanfare for the Common Man, and of course JW's America the Dream Goes On. The rest should be a fun and enjoyable listen.

indy4 - who didn't intend to purchase 2 America-related albums on Memorial Day

[Naïve Old Fart 13,023]

It's more than enough, isn't?

I would think so.

You can never have enough Jerry goldsmith: NEVER!!!!!!

[Wojo 2,458]

+1

[Marian Schedenig 11,694]

My latest SAE order was one of the fastest to arrive:

- Elmer Bernstein:To Kill a Mockingbird (RSNO recording)

- Carl Davis: Ben-Hur (re-release, replacing my old and damaged CDR copy)

- Lalo Schifrin: Film Scores Vol. 1 (1964-1968)

- Max Steiner: Adventures of Don Juan/Arsenic and Old Lace (Morgan/Stromberg)

- John Williams: Jane Eyre

And a new magnet. (Don Juan styled)

[Joe Brausam 234]

You got the Naxos version of Ben-Hur that was just released? I believe that one is expanded from the old Silva release, right? I may have to get a copy of this new one.

[Marian Schedenig 11,694]

I think it's identical. They just split up some of the lengthier tracks. Total duration is the same I think, and it's the same recording as the previous release (which is different, and with a considerably larger orchestra, than the full score recording released on the DVD/Blu-ray I believe). Don't know if there's been any remastering.

It's also not on Naxos but on "Threefold Records", with a "Carl Davis Collection" icon on the top. I've also seen a Naxos credit for it somewhere (Amazon I think), but I assume it was just mislabelled. Or perhaps they're owned by Naxos or something. Price certainly was regular for a score release, i.e. higher than the standard Naxos price.

[Joe Brausam 234]

Ah, yeah Amazon credited it as Naxos, so I assumed it was them. Good to know I don't have to upgrade my old copy though, thanks!

[Marian Schedenig 11,694]

Liner notes (nice ones btw) simply label it a "reissue". Also no credits for any new work on the sound.

[Naïve Old Fart 13,023]

I've just bought "The Prince of Egypt" in my local charity shop for 99p (that's about $1.60).Can't wait to hear it. I love "Playing With The Big Boys".

[indy4 160]

Prince of Egypt is great. If you can you should definitely get this CD: http://www.amazon.com/The-Prince-Egypt-Wynonna/dp/B0001FT52S/ref=sr_1_7?ie=UTF8&qid=1338678163&sr=8-7

Most of it is throw-away pop music, but it contains some cues from the score that aren't available anywhere else. Of particular importance is "The Chariot Race," which is one of Hans Zimmer's greatest single cues. I would imagine that even those who dislike Zimmer's style would enjoy this one, it has many Golden Age influences (especially near the end).

While I love Prince of Egypt and I think it's one of Zimmer's finest achievements, you have to give credit where it's due: The Chariot Race is a Harry Gregson-Williams' cue, using Zimmer's themes.

[indy4 160]

Oh okay. I don't take the time to figure out who wrote each Zimmer cue, but I will say that HGW just won a lot of points in my book (and Zimmer just lost a few).

[Incanus 5,890]

Isn't it nice when you can't never be entirely sure if a Zimmer score is truly a Zimmer score. You have to read the fine print to see who was responsible for what.

[Wojo 2,458]

Hooray! My Beatles box set shipped!

[crocodile 9,724]

Just ordered Music from the Edge, which is in fact John Corigliano's rejected score from Martin Campbell's Edge of Darkness.

I'm really really curious what this score is like. From the few samples I heard it sounds very good indeed. Can't wait!

Karol

[indy4 160]

Ordered the following:

Treesong - John Williams

Rosewood - John Williams

Presumed Innocent - John Williams

The King and I (1977 Revival) - Rodgers and Hammerstein

Swingin' for the Fences - Gordin Goodwin's Big Phat Band

The top three are releases I've been meaning to get for a long time, especially Presumed Innocent. But I'd imagine they make for a pretty dense and possibly depressing listening experience, so I wanted to lightened it up with the last two releases. I don't know much about King and I - I've heard some songs but I've never seen any incarnation of the work - but I love Rodgers and Hammerstein (who doesn't) and I've been told this is one of their best. 1977 revival sounded the best from the Amazon reviews - I almost bought the film soundtrack, but a reviewer said it contains dialogue and SFX. My friend recently bought the last release, and it sounds awesome. Especially "Mueva los Huesos."

[Matt C 605]

I placed an order for Richard Band's Dragonworld from Intrada last night (the samples were really good!). I thought about adding Supernova to the order, but I think it's going to linger around the specialty outlets for a couple of months after it goes OOP.
