Howard Goodall finally doing a high profile movie is more exciting news, I think (to the extent a JOHNNY ENGLISH movie can be considered high profile).

I think this has a potential to be really interesting.
 
 
Karol - who remembers really enjoying the book
 

Cutthroat Island is one of the best scores of all time, IMO.
 
I thought it was already shared here?

The two clips I posted do have at least moments of sea/seafaring type music.

Clifton Parker has done some absolutely awesome stuff in this area. I think someone already shared his Treasure Island (1950) score, but this one is pretty damn awesome too:
 
 
And some more seafaring goodness:
 
Oh, and if you like the stormy sea stuff, William Alwyn's Main Title from Swiss Family Robinson is pretty badass:
 
He also wrote an awesome score for The Crimson Pirate (super fun campy-but-it-knows-it pirate flick long before Pirates of the Carribean did it):

Yep. Totally missed that too.
 
But anyway, now that Varése/Concord proved they're competent enough to release perfect sounding film music of men in cowboy hats, I hope they'll take a chance to release perfect sounding film music of men in fedora hats too.

I instantly liked The Loner, Bad Girls and Take A Hard Ride samples. 
 
Take a Hard Ride from around 8:00-10:04 is great!
 
Not to say I disliked the others, these were just the ones that I was instantly drawn to.

Yeah, that is in my first post that started this thread, Mr. Observant.

I think it great that Universal have decided to go through with this venture. It's so sad to see all this music (no matter the iconicism of it) sit in vaults or archives, boxes in offices etc. I don't really care much for the first few releases, but I know people out there are and future film score listeners will be able to have a chance to hear these scores outside of crappy rips from rear audio channels. An ideal world would see this quality treatment afforded to many scores, not just so people can listen to it all, but that it's preserved for future generations as a piece of our history.

?

How could I forget one of my favorite of his scores from an equally lovely film? 
 
Makes a lot of sense since the ocean was "the final frontier" throughout almost all of our history until the 1960's.  I get that the sea can be a metaphor for space too.

JNH loves swimming.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
There's obviously Flow Like Water, but this other piece from Airbender always reminds me of a great voyage across an ocean -
 
 
 
I also love what Joel Goldsmith did with Stargate Atlantis. He gave his music the sound of the sea.
 
 
 

I didn't realize until just now that MG has now scored more films for Brad Bird than he has for JJ Abrams!
 
Of course, MG also scored many television episodes JJ directed - the pilots to Alias, Lost, and Undercovers, plus 3 additional episodes of Alias.  But theatrically, Bird now reigns supreme!

Vote now, and vote wisely!

The Cowboys. Checked.
 
Now we need a good new expanded set of The Reivers.  I just re-listened to it yesterday, the sound of the 1995 Columbia set is pretty dull.  We could expect better from this score, I'm sure it's possible to do better today. This CD has already 23 years, and so is outdated. With it's sound quality + it's only 1 previously unreleased track, I always knew it was useless to try to find it on the used market.

I really like The Reivers, I enjoy it about as much as I enjoy The Cowboys (though that might change when I finally get my new Cowboys release, if it ever ships). I would love a remastered The Reivers.
 
Is there anything to expand about The Reivers or is it already complete?

I finally got it. Apart from a cracked case (Why does this often happen?), this is phenomenal. It really amazes me how the Maestro's music is remastered. This was 1972, and it sounds as if it was recorded yesterday. Wow!

Interestingly, Roger from Intrada didn't include Broughton on a recent list of composers he posted who have albums coming soon on the Intrada label, so this could be a Disney Legacy Collection title and not an Intrada title

hey this is very helpful, thank you!

See, Brundlefly? I told you LLL was going to do a Jerry Goldsmith westerns sale -- at 50% off on all of their still in print ones (barring the new release), I'd say it might might make more sense to buy directly from them even with greater shipping costs:
www.lalalandrecords.com
 
In case anyone cares, here's how I would rank LLL's Goldsmith western sale titles, in order of priority:
1. Rio Lobo -- a more subtle and melancholy score that gets under your skin and grows on you:
 
2. Bandolero! -- I love the whistled main theme though I understand if some don't; great themes and action music in this but it also has a more contemplative side I like:
 
 
3. Take A Hard Ride -- This has one of Jerry's best western themes and the highlights are incredible, but fair warning to those who might be turned off by the occasionally abrasive/unsettling synths for the villain:
 
 
4. Bad Girls -- Aside from the synth keyboard performances of the main theme which are very dated 90s sounding (and probably responsible for the poor reception this score had in the past), this is incredible music every bit on the level of Jerry's 60s and 70s western efforts. Listen particularly to the dark latter cue in this:
 
 
5. Stagecoach / The Loner -- This is a very nice score, very pleasant and folksy with catchy themes. It just lacks the badass moments of the other four albums listed above. In fact the most badass part of the CD is the TV music for The Loner.
 
 
 
Finally, I'd like to give a shoutout to Mark Banning for his excellent design work for the covers on 100 Rifles and especially Rio Conchos (probably the best he's ever done). When I first saw that Rio Conchos my initial guess was that Jim Titus had done it!

This Violin Concerto sounds really good and intriguing so far. 
 
I've been missing out on Elfman's concert works, clearly. I'll need to seek out whatever he's done thus far.

Colimbier? Mancini? Morricone? Cacavas? Melle?
That's enought to make any self-respecting film music fan salivate.
I can't wait for THE FORBIN PROJECT (aka COLOSSUS).
