Human aggression is instinctual. Humans have not evolved any ritualised aggression-inhibiting mechanisms to ensure the survival of the species. For this reason man is considered a very dangerous animal.

"We pop out and come into the world and music is there. We didn't invent it - it's all organised in the atmosphere by divinity or whatever. It's a miracle." - John Williams-
I think music is a stream of some kind. It could be blood. It could be water. It could be ether. Whatever it is it seems to be a living, organic force that’s in motion, that serves humanity and is part of humanity and part of what describes us as humans. We sing, play, dance, all the things that we do. And there is a vibrant and great literature we have been given. ... As musicians, we join the stream. We swim in the stream with all the other millions of music makers. It’s a life force, a strong one, surrounding us and we are part of it. -John Williams-

Mission 2 is a really fun score, despite what others say. And while there's some Zimmerisms taken to the headache inducing-extreme, a lot of it is brand new territory for Hans.MISSION: IMPOSSIBLE (ELFMAN)

By Request is the CD that really got me into JW's music. It is fantastic!
I don't listen to most of it, I've never been particularly fond of its versions of much-recorded pieces like the Star Wars cues, or their sound characteristics, for that matter. It's still an essential album for the Liberty Fanfare (love that middle section) and the gorgeous Cowboys Suite.

I will admit, upon receiving the soundtracks for most of the music I don't listen as much to By Request, although that's probably more due to my desires to hear the entire scores at once than a preference of recording. However the two tracks you mentioned are essentials, and it also has my favorite recording of "The Mission."

After all, if you went to a concert, you would almost certainly hear those types of arrangements instead of JW conducting an entire score.
@Wojo: stop being facetious.

I for one love the Boston Symphony Hall acoustics on the By Request album. E.g. Theme from Superman (although a bit different version than the normal) sounds fantastic and has a sense of space and scope.
I love the sound of the hall on Williams Sony recording. But most tracks on By Request sound, acoustically, rather flat to me.

But that's solely due to the no bass/all highs mastering of mid-80's CD's. Those high-pitched cymbal crashes on the BY REQUEST cd can destroy your eardrums.

Haven't had the time to listen to everything yet but parts I and VI (in which I was most interested and listened to the most so far) sound fantastic! Real happy to have another treasure in my collection.
Also received:
- John Barry - King Kong
- Craig Armstrong - World Trade Center

I was familar with The Ride to Dubno, of course, but there's a lot more to like about this score. The Love theme, in particular, is stuck in my head.
Out of the Tadlow recordings I've only got this and El Cid, but they're all on my to-get list.

Liszt: Piano Concertos 1-2, Totentanz - Seiji Ozawa with the Boston Symphony Orchestra
On the Town (Original Cast Recording) - Leonard Bernstein
Sleepers - John Williams
I also purchased MP3's of the following:
"I've Got the World on a String" - Jamie Davis
"Perthshire Majesty" - Columbus State University Wind Ensemble
Sleepers is one of four easily accessible Williams OSTs that I haven't yet had an opportunity to purchase (the others are Rosewood, Presumed Innocent, and Stanely and Iris). I'm especially excited for this one because it's also the only officially released Williams score that I have never heard in any form before - no re-recordings, no samples, and I've never seen the film (I purposely skipped over the Sleepers tracks on Erik Wood's tribute for this reason). I'm not sure if this has ever happened before for me for a JW release, usually I've had some sort of taste-test, even if I've been willing to buy completely blind. I'm curious to see if it'll affect my impressions of the score.

"You're not John Conner, I saw you die, said Kyle". "I was only injured, replied John". "No, your injuries were too severe, you died. Look at you, where are your injuries? You're, you're a Terminator." "Kyle, its still me, yes my body was beyond repair, but my essence is here." He points to his head. "No John". Kyle raised his pulse rifle and aimed it at John but before he could fire, John fired first. Knocked to the ground Kyle looked up at the Terminator in the form of the man he once idolized. All hope was lost. "If you kill me how will you ever be born?" "Thats a good question Kyle, all this time we've focus on Sarah, on John, when had we known the it was you we should have targeted all along." John pointed his rifle at Kyle's face. "The resistance is finished, the battle is won. We the machines are the victors, salvation is ours." Kyle never heard the second shot.
