Listening to this again, it probably remains my favourite of the 70s JW disaster scores. What a great theme - and the subdued moody music really gets under the skin.

I hope someone reissues The Paper Chase - that would make that FSM album, which I don't have, obsolete.

See Discogs.

I am glad they included music from the post 2000 Poirot scores on the album (even if they had to excise two older tracks from the album). I was watching the Death on the Nile just last week and noted how wonderful the music was, especially the oh so bitter sweet love theme. The Five Little Pigs contains some of the more inventive suspence scoring that deviates a bit from the previous Poirot scoring and two superb main themes. I wish The Hollow will be presented on some future release as well, although both The Five Little Pigs and The Hollow are featured on the Film and TV Music of Christopher Gunning album.

 

On another note the original album featured concertized versions of the music from the episodes. I wonder if these new tracks are suites specifically re-recorded for this album or actual cues taken form the original scores.

I got this CD in the mail last week. The three new tracks are all recent rerecordings. I guess this isn't good news considering this probably means there will be no other Poirot CD releases coming. Good news is that the new music is stunning.

This is a must-have CD in my opinion, and easily blows 95% of everything released this year out of the water
