arathornion33 0 Posted July 4, 2012 Posted July 4, 2012 Bit the bullet and finally ordered some Limited Editions before they're gone, plus some others:Home Alone, expanded - JWThe Agony and the Ecstacy (Limited Varese) - Alex NorthThe Great Escape - Elmer BernsteinThe Aviator - H. ShoreClose Encounters - JW (finally!!)
indy4 160 Posted July 6, 2012 Posted July 6, 2012 I saw Songs for Swingin' Lovers used for $4.00. I've heard it's one of Frank Sinatra's best albums, so I bought it. Liking it so far.
indy4 160 Posted July 7, 2012 Posted July 7, 2012 Got That's Entertainment on Amazon. Partially to hear music I've never heard in a genre I enjoy, partially to hear old arrangements in great sound quality, partially to hear Seth MacFarlane sing non-comedy music.
Jay 46,244 Posted July 9, 2012 Posted July 9, 2012 Thanks to Kevin's sale, I got a ton of OSTs I never had before for a great price:Jerry Goldsmith - The Russia HouseJerry Goldsmith - RudyJerry Goldsmith - The Wind and The Lion (Intrada)James Horner - Legends of the FallJames Horner - TroyJames Horner - An American Tail: Fievel Goes WestJames Horner - GloryJames Horner - AvatarJohn Powell - Chicken RunDanny Elfman - Alice In WonderlandTrevor Jones - DinotopiaMichael Land - The DigBasil Poledouris - Farewell to the KingJohn Barry - Raise the TitanicJames Newton Howard - DinosaurElliot Goldenthal - Final Fantasy
indy4 160 Posted July 9, 2012 Posted July 9, 2012 There are some really good titles in there. Dinosaur, Avatar, Chicken Run, and Alice in Wonderland are all good.
Jay 46,244 Posted July 9, 2012 Posted July 9, 2012 Yea, I can't wait to find time to listen to them all (Well, I've heard the Avatar, Glory, Chicken Run, and Alice in Wonderland OSTs before... but the rest I never have!)
Marian Schedenig 11,695 Posted July 9, 2012 Posted July 9, 2012 Jerry Goldsmith - RudyJerry Goldsmith - The Wind and The Lion (Intrada)Basil Poledouris - Farewell to the KingElliot Goldenthal - Final FantasyThese are all first rate, too.
Koray Savas 2,260 Posted July 10, 2012 Posted July 10, 2012 Fievel Goes West is one of my top Horner's, if not my favorite.
indy4 160 Posted July 17, 2012 Posted July 17, 2012 I was at my local record store and I saw two releases that caught my eye: the latest Gone with the Wind expansion and the Charles Gerhardt 11 track version. Both were only $4, and I decided to go with the Gerhardt re-recording. I've heard good things about GErhardt's work in general, I'm running out of space on my computer and iPod (and Gerhardt was not as long), I figured Gerhardt had better sound quality, and having never seen the film I only really wanted a CD with the highlights. Sounds good so far!
Admiral Holdo 16 Posted July 17, 2012 Posted July 17, 2012 Just picked up Horner's Spider-Man. I'm seriously digging it. I'm noticing a "don't fix what isn't broken" parallel between this and Goldenthal's Batman scores (which, thank goodness that the Webb production didn't try to reinvent the wheel everywhere), this score fits comfortably with the Raimi films' music, and would have been more than fitting for Spider-Man 4.
Jay 46,244 Posted July 17, 2012 Posted July 17, 2012 My copies of Amazing Spider-man and Brave arrived from Amazon
avalanche 0 Posted July 17, 2012 Posted July 17, 2012 Went on a serious Intrada spree recently to "catch up."Charade, Hatari - Henry Mancini... both of these score an A with me, just fantastic.Predator, The Avengers - Alan Silvestri... haven't listened to yet.Squanto - Joel McNeely... haven't listened to yet.Fright Night - Brad Fiedel... haven't listened to yet.Masters of the Universe - Bill Conti... very listenable, strong action score, A-.2 Days in the Valley - Jerry Goldsmith... Good late-period outing, B.Once Upon a Time - Mark Isham... The music resonated more with me while watching the series than on disc, but it's still pleasant nonetheless, B-.Island at the Top of the World - Maurice Jarre... My first Jarre, and what a blast! Never seen the movie, but I'll need to seek it out now. A.Sir Gawain and the Green Knight - Ron Goodwin... Just wow! My favorite of the batch so far, an insanely memorable score, A+.Toy Story 3 - Randy Newman... A little more focused than the first two, with some great moments, B.The Black Cauldron - Elmer Bernstein... There's some fun material in this score, but I can't shake the similarities to Ghostbusters (mostly that Ondes) or the sheer length. Perhaps I'll make a shorter version to try out. C+.Link - Jerry Goldsmith... haven't listened to yet.
Koray Savas 2,260 Posted July 17, 2012 Posted July 17, 2012 I thought Link sold out? I remember being glad I bought it when I did cause it's an awesome score.
Jay 46,244 Posted July 17, 2012 Posted July 17, 2012 Link has been sold out for quite some time, yes.
avalanche 0 Posted July 17, 2012 Posted July 17, 2012 Actually, I'm still waiting for Link to ship from an Amazon Marketplace seller. It was a good price (under $30), so I jumped. It's definitely OOP, but the prices have come down on it recently, I've noticed.
Marian Schedenig 11,695 Posted July 17, 2012 Posted July 17, 2012 Squanto - Joel McNeely... haven't listened to yet.Be prepared for some Hook in there.]Sir Gawain and the Green Knight - Ron Goodwin... Just wow! My favorite of the batch so far, an insanely memorable score, A+.Really? I'd been thinking about this one... perhaps I should get it before it's too late.
avalanche 0 Posted July 18, 2012 Posted July 18, 2012 I must have listened to the samples 4 or 5 times before buying. I'm glad I ended up getting the score.

Wojo 2,458 Posted July 19, 2012 Posted July 19, 2012 I have a comparable pile of discs that I ripped last night, Marian, and may get around to converting them to FLAC and WAV tonight.Have you ever been so engrossed in doing something else while you're ripping that you pop in a disc, go back to what you were doing, then pop the disc out and put in the next, that when you look at your rip folder, you find you didn't rip the first disc at all?
gkgyver 1,647 Posted July 19, 2012 Posted July 19, 2012 I bought Danny Elfman's Dark Shadows today.I only made it through the first five tracks, but I really find it interesting how Elfman has sort of matured as a composer only in the last few years.
crocodile 9,724 Posted July 19, 2012 Posted July 19, 2012 andCourtesy of La-La Land Records. Took me a long time to buy Alex North's score. Finally. What I heard from it was really good.Karol

Jill Sandwich 11,166 Posted July 25, 2012 Posted July 25, 2012 Bought a sealed copy of the Star Wars Anthology set for $40 at a CD store in Sydney today.

Marian Schedenig 11,695 Posted July 29, 2012 Posted July 29, 2012 I have yet to go through all the alternates. But the standard material on it sounds great.
Matt C 605 Posted August 2, 2012 Posted August 2, 2012 I bought Frederik Wiedmann's Green Lantern: The Animated Series from LLL. The samples sounded really promising, so I leapt on that... hopefully the copy I had included the autograph.
Rachael Foley 10,162 Posted August 5, 2012 Posted August 5, 2012 Check my review in the Review section. (they are off of my first few listens of course.)
Wojo 2,458 Posted August 7, 2012 Posted August 7, 2012 I went on an Intrada binge and bought Masters of the Universe, The Shadow, and North By Northwest.
