So the list makes sense after all. 

60 % that’s the pass mark.
 
That’s a score you need to know to understand the stylistic evolution of John Williams.

Taking everything into consideration (it's TV, it's very early on in his career) I give it a solid 3.

Bes, I don't call AVE SATANI "gentle", but it's a nice overview.
Have you really never heard much JG?

Has anyone heard of or been using Audirvana?
 
I came across it when I was looking for ways to stream music in high quality from my computer to my hi-fi system using an Oppo 203 as the DAC. It came highly recommended by audiophiles so I give it a go on a free trial. Really impressed! It's nice to be able to stream high-res Tidal and Qobuz stream to my system and access everything in one place.
 
Music sounds much much better than it did when I had a cable running between the laptop directly in to the amp. Basically the DAC in the MacBook Pro sucks and streaming via my home network to the Oppo means I bypass it completely.
 
Audirvana also has this cool feature that allows you to upsample to DSD. I was sceptical at first, thinking the whole point of the "audiophile" way of life was purity and not processing music. Turns out it works beautifully and some high-end systems convert to DSD by default. As I type this I'm listening to 'The Firebolt and End Credits Suite' from the LLL Potter set. Streaming my CD rip and upsampling to DSD and it is filling the room that much more. In addition to having a wide soundstage where the speakers more or less disappear I now seem to be getting more 3D depth to the orchestra. Weirdly, it almost sounds more analog.
 
Am I getting a placebo effect? I won't rule it out completely but I'm definitely enjoying my music more!

John Williams vetoed it

JWfan, as you know, means "friendship" 
 
 
 
 
Many too many.

Then you'll have scalpers on the market selling 'RARE LIMITED EDITION LALALAND RECORDS SCHINDLER'S LIST 25TH ANNIVERSARY SOUNDTRACK (WITH CLIPPED AUDIO)'  - $450

Agreed, Chen...but it helps if one can do both 

Urgh, how gaudy and cloying. Why on earth would we ever want to see the awe on these people's faces? How dare Spielberg assume we want to observe feelings and expressions with which we relate.

You don't fly Easyjet, do you?

Agreed. Luc Serra's cue is good, but John Altman's cue fits the finished film better.
I will happily go on record and say that I love the GoldenEye score.

... have stood where I stand. 

It's got young women in Speedos, and Bess Armstrong, in a wetsuit. What's not to like? 

Jaws 3-D is a terrific score - sounds like the love child of Jaws and Williams' 70s disaster scores

Roy Batty, his favorite character, died in 2019 as well. 

LOL:
 
 

Put the CD in the coat, then put the coat on her. She'll thank you for it.

Grusin’s The Goonies - fabulous.

Ha, ha! That's a laugh! Balfe "composing".
Next you'll be telling me that Johnson has been elect- oh, shit!

Yes! Instead of a group of people, most of whom we know, fighting each other over their viewpoints (well, most of them), we have the heroes we know and others we don't punching and shooting gigantic infinite hordes of bland faceless CG mush armies! We have never seen that before!

@GlastoEls, I've PMd you.

I have this release as a DVD-A bootleg.
 
A Japanese person made it quad, I guess.
 
It will be an heirloom to my house!
