The wonders of the Internet... you never run out of new material to try.

[indy4]

Got The Wizard of Oz (first Herbert Stothart score) and Wanted (14th Danny Elfman score).

[Delorean90]

How'd I miss the Goldsmith counting? I have four officially, and one unofficially (Hoosiers)

Patton
The Wind and the Lion
Alien
Baby: Secret of the Lost Legend

I think the two highest on my obtain list are Star Trek: The Motion Picture, because it is what it is, and Rudy, because I love it and want to be able to combine the isolated score with the OST for a complete album.

[John Crichton]

Looking back on my list somehow I forgot to include Patton. But it's not an official release, I just ripped the iso score from the DVD.

John- who has very much enjoyed The Omen

[Koray Savas]

I ordered The Forbidden Kingdom from Amazon. It is a CD-R copy of the score though, which puzzles me a little. A lot of the reviews complain about the CD arriving damaged because of wet adhesive dripping onto the surface of the disc. Thank you moviemusic.com, which had a thread about the score, which I didn't even know was released.

[Trent Hoyt]

Heavier Things- John Mayer.

If it makes it easier for scores to be released when pressing might be too expensive, then I guess it works, but they shouldn't be compromising on the quality like that. For ink/glue to still be wet really speaks of just-in-time production gone mad. Now I've done business studies and I know how cost-saving it can be, but you need to at least have a saleable product come out of it... meh.

[Trent Hoyt]

Thorogood Live- George Thorogood and the Destroyers
Room For Squares- John Mayer
Extended Versions- Barenaked Ladies
War of The Worlds- John Williams

All for $4 a piece.

[Jamesyboy]

Mongol (free...used a gift card) and The Pink Panther by Christophe Beck ($1.99).
Oh..almost forgot, Forbidden Kingdom & Skinwalkers - both with an iTunes giftcard


Jamesyboy - hi, my name is James, and I'm a film score addict...

Heavier Things- John Mayer.

Great albums. Continuum and The John Mayer Trio (live) are awesome. I NEED his new 2cd live set...


Jamesyboy- very glad that Mayer is finally exploring and recording his blues roots.

[Joe Brausam]

Trading the extra copy of Invaders from Mars I bought for a mint copy of Williams' Jane Eyre with someone on FSM.

[Maglorfin]

FINALLY received Masters of the Universe from LLR and it's PERFECT!

[Joe Brausam]

Picked up last night...

The Ring Without Words - Wagner
Somewhere in Time - Barry (Debney recording)

[Richard Penna]

Torchwood just got released as a digital download. One of the few TV soundtracks where the cue selection seems quite good, although it's more serious than Doctor Who, and therefore much less fun. And I'd have crucified them had Gray's Theme not been included.

Lucky. I would have boguht an Invaders f I knew it'd land me a Jane Eyre.

[Koray Savas]

The Forbidden Kingdom by David Buckley

[Joe Brausam]

Getting the following from a guy on FSM:

Sleepy Hollow - Elfman
Batman Forever - Goldenthal
Requiem for a Dream - Mansell
The Mission - Morricone
Sneakers - Horner
Elephant Man - Morris
The Thin Red Line - Zimmer

[Morlock]

All of them are good scores.

[Joe Brausam]

Plus I just recieved my copy of Jane Eyre that I traded for. I'm really happy to have this score, finally!

[Marian Schedenig]

Batman Forever - Goldenthal

The best over-the-top score there is, probably.

Requiem for a Dream - Mansell

Been playing that a lot lately.

The Mission - Morricone

Need this one.

Sneakers - Horner

The best Horner.

Elephant Man - Morris

Never warmed up to that one.

[Morlock]

You do need The Mission. I put it off for years, thinking it was so obvious that I'd never listen to it....but it's a stunning score.

[Koray Savas]

Of course it's stunning, it's Ennio Morricone.

[Morlock]

The man's written some less than stunning scores. This is a rare score even when it comes to Morricone's lyricism.

[Marian Schedenig]

I also need Once Upon a Time in America though.

[Koray Savas]

Rarely.

Yes you do. I found an import of it at Tower Records before they went out of business. BUY IT!

[Red Rabbit]

The man's written some less than stunning scores.

Rarely.

Not when you consider just how many scores he's written.

[Koray Savas]

Trust me, I've considered.

[publicist]

The man's written some less than stunning scores. This is a rare score even when it comes to Morricone's lyricism.

Not really. It's just the most popular (read: US-bound) of his scores. I cringe whenever i hear people citing this, 'Mission to Mars', 'Untouchables' and maybe the Leones as reference point for Morricone. He did a lot more and a lot more interesting things in the 60s and 70s in Italy and France, mostly.
There are several scores ('Marco Polo', , 'La Venexiana', 'La Tenda Rossa', 'The Maestro and Margherita', 'Secret of the Sahara', 'Prince of the Desert', 'La Califfa') which easily rival 'The Mission'.

[Marian Schedenig]

BUY IT!

I can get it with free shipping from Play. And in their next sale, it's probably reduced again, too.

I consider Disclosure a less than stunning score (it has one cool track).

I consider The Legend of 1900 a stunning score. And I need the Italian DVD... (the other releases are abridged)

[Joe Brausam]

Picked up The Clone Wars today.


...I hate it.

[John Crichton]

You should have just gotten it *cough*for free*cough*, like the rest of us. Let this be a lesson.

[Delorean90]

Listening to iTunes samples. Just heard "Obi-Wan to the Rescue." I'm kind of in shock right now.

[John Crichton]

Be glad you didn't listen to the whole thing, you'd need someone to pick you up off the floor.

[Mark Olivarez]

I just passed on the whole damn thing, the samples did enough damage.

[John Crichton]

I wasn't actively seeking it either, a friend sent along a copy and I figured what the hell.

[Mark Olivarez]

That's what you get for accepting illegal copies.....

[Henry Buck]

I wasn't actively seeking it either, a friend sent along a copy and I figured what the hell.

Your friend sounds like a real bastard.

I also found a leaked copy of Clone Wars. Two or three tracks are kind of fun; the rest, whatever.

[Koray Savas]

If you guys hate it, I must love it.

[John Crichton]

Yes, I'm thinking of putting together a few PotC cues and sending it to him saying it's The Force Unleashed.

[Joe Brausam]

I wasn't aware that was going on, till now.

[Delorean90]

See, the weird thing is, is that it sounds like Kiner has some talent, but you go from a weird version of the main theme (not necessarily bad, just so different that doesn't compute as a main title for Star Wars), to somewhat more traditional but still not exactly Star Wars action/intensity underscoring (again, not necessarily bad, SOTE being a precedent, although a much better one), to the outright rock (WRONG!!!!) of "Obi-Wan to the Rescue," and some jazz lounge music in a later sample, and from the few samples I've heard, it's almost starting to sound like a demo disc to show what he can do. If the samples are any real gauge of the album as a whole, it seems to me that it would be a wildly inconsistent listen. It's certainly not making me any more excited for the "movie," that's for sure.
