Huh? What is that suppose to mean? -Erik-

Well, it finally happened? it may have taken 6 six years to figure it out but we finally did it. For the very first time Cinematic Sound is proud to present on-demand streaming of the show. For those poor unfortunate souls who aren?t able to hear the show live on Saturday can now listen to the show whenever they feel like it. The plan is to upload the entire 3-hour program two days after the live broadcast. So, that means a new show should be available every Monday night. We will leave the show up for one week only. And no we cannot send you a downloadable MP3 file of the program due to copyright laws. Now, the first show you will hear is our Cinema-Lite program, which aired on February 8th (the first hour is all John Williams music!) The show hasn?t been edited in any form therefore you will hear the commercials that were played during the live broadcast. For future shows we will take the commercials out. We are going to leave this show up for a couple of weeks as a test. After the test we will update the show on a weekly basis as mentioned above. You will need a Real Player to listen to the program. A link has been set up at our site for you to download one just incase you don?t have it. After listening to the show we would like your input. Please vote in out Cinematic Sound Poll, which will be up on the site within 24 hours. Let us know what you thought about the program and if there are any improvements that you would like to see or hear. And if you would like you can e-mail me directly with any questions, comments or concerns at cinematicsound@yahoo.com The first program is up and ready for you to listen to. Please go to http://www.dillusions.net/Cinematic/cinematic_main.htm and enjoy! -Erik- http://www.geocities.com/cinematicsound

My top five scores of the year went like this... - SIGNS (Newton Howard) - ATTACK OF THE CLONES (Williams) - ROAD TO PERDITION (Newman) - THE TWO TOWERS (Shore) - HARRY POTTER AND THE CHAMBER OF SECRETS (Williams) I picked SIGNS as the winner. But, if I was thinking like an academy member Mark Olivarez's picks seem to fit the Academy's style. However, I totally disagree with Mark that Signs is not as good as the hype. This score is to Howard as Jaws was to Williams. But, we all have our own opinions... ... and I think Bernstein is going to win for Far From Heaven because of the "hype" and because he is Elmer Bernstein. The score is good... one of my top ten... but not the best of the year. -Erik-

BTW, Piovani's score is horrible. It's big orchestral circus music. The most annoying album I've heard since Glass' score to Kundun!!! -Erik-

Hello Everyone, This week on CINEMATIC SOUND I will be presenting the best of Jerry Goldsmith in the 80's. Due to the fact that this is a last second change in my programming I haven't had the chance to compile a list of Goldsmith's top scores of the 80's. This is where you guys come in... If you would like to help, please post here your top 10 Jerry Goldsmith scores of the 1980's. This should help me in programming my show and spark some interesting debate as to which of his many scores in this decade are truly Goldsmith's best. Thanks for your assistance, -Erik-

This is great news... I'm looking forward to hearing the City of Prague Philharmonic's rendition of these scores. Maybe they will include some previously unreleased music!!! -Erik- Bond: Back In Action 2 "A View To A Kill - Suite"

That's all that I can think of... -Erik- POLTERGEIST (Jerry Goldsmith)

RE: Cinematic Sound Web Site URL change. This is a note to let webmasters and film music fans know that the Cinematic Sound Radio Show web site has moved to a new URL. We are now located at http://www.geocities.com/cinematicsound. We were located at http://www.geocities.com/filmmusic1, and actually the site is still there, but due to complications with our Yahoo! Geocities “filmmusic1” account we are unable to update that site any further. Therefore, we ask all webmasters to update their Cinematic Sound Radio Show links to the new URL http://www.geocities.com/cinematicsound and we ask all fans to join us there as well. Thank you very much for your time and happy listening.

Paul Tonks' latest news column at Movie Poop Shoot has just gone up giving definitive answer on Star Wars Episode II: Attack of the Clones Ultimate Edition, gossip from DIE ANOTHER DAY sessions, reviews of the new BUFFY album & THE PRISONER re-releases. Also linked to is Paul's feature on the music of ALIAS, including interviews with my favorite composer Michael Giacchino and series creator JJ Abrams. Will there be an soundtrack album release of Giacchino's music? Check out link below to find out! http://www.moviepoopshoot.com/score/index.html

Signs.... hands down!!!! -Erik-

Michael Giacchino hands down!!!!

AI, As mentioned before the picture has been on the internet for years on my production company's web site. The reason I put a link to it here is because Figo and I were goofing around about the possiblities of her looking like Zeta-Jones. We were just having fun. BTW, AI, are you to tell me that people who have personal sites are extremely stupid because they upload pictures of their significant others? I doubt it. It's not like I took a naked picture of her and posted it here and said "Hey guys, want to see naked pictures of my wife?" I don't see the problem here and neither does my wife. Her picture as well has mine has been seen by hundreds of people that I know and don't even know... but that's the internet for you. -Erik-

Here's another question... can anyone hear Vader's Theme (aka The Imperial March) in the track Confrontation with Count Dooku? If not, then listen from 2:58 to 3:36. It's tough to make it out but on continuous spins of the CD I could hear it!!! LOL Sorry guys... I couldn't resist. This was my best attempt at humour :roll: -Erik-

It doesn't matter... that photo has been on-line for a couple of years now on my production company's web site for millions of "freaks" to see. She stars in one of my movies. Anyway, the link works for me... and I don't think she looks like Zeta-Jones... IMHO.... you might think different. -Erik-

I just got "hitched" on August 17th and our first song was "I Want To Spend My Lifetime Loving You" from The Mask of Zorro. -Erik-

For people in the Southern Ontario region you can see Laureate Conductor John Williams Sunday August 4th at 4:00pm on WNED Channel 17. The program is an hour long. -Erik-

Nope... all of the music in CutThroat was composed by John Debney including all of the themes. Arnold wrote some demo material but none of it saw the light of day. Actually, if you want to hear what Arnold's CutThroat Theme was going to sound like listen to Russell Casse's (Randy Quaid) theme during the "Cropduster" cue in Independence Day. That was Arnold's CutThroat theme transplaneted into ID4. A very reliable source close to Arnold told me that. -Erik- LILO AND STITCH
