veggiemusician 0 Posted April 4, 2006 Share Posted April 4, 2006 Its always been one of those scores that Ive never considered buying and not seen the film... so saw it today in HMV for £2 and thought why not and bought it!!! Actually Im liking it so far (listening to it now) - I also grabbed Jaws Collectors edition for £5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Romão 2,274 Posted April 5, 2006 Share Posted April 5, 2006 Probably the most underated score in JW's careeer. it is a treasure chest, great deal ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nicholas 1 Posted April 5, 2006 Share Posted April 5, 2006 I agree entirely about poor old Stepmom. I particularly love the oboe melody in "Taking Pictures", and the French feel of much of the score. In places it could almost be Ravel. Why are people generally so averse to it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MAG-SI 10 Posted April 5, 2006 Share Posted April 5, 2006 Well... It lacks an action hero, a fantasy world with 1mil creatures and worlds, has no major space battle, no talkin lion or some other shit people here want from every movie Williams scores.

robthehand 3 Posted April 5, 2006 Share Posted April 5, 2006 Veggiemusician, is there a sale on at HMV or something? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hitch 57 Posted April 5, 2006 Share Posted April 5, 2006 There always seems to be a sale on in HMV and Virgin. Hitch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joni Wiljami 1,206 Posted April 5, 2006 Share Posted April 5, 2006 I agree entirely about poor old Stepmom. I particularly love the oboe melody in "Taking Pictures", and the French feel of much of the score. In places it could almost be Ravel. Why are people generally so averse to it?I also adore this score. The guitar player is very a good musician. But the "Frech style" is for memore like Satie than Ravel in many parts...

veggiemusician 0 Posted April 5, 2006 Author Share Posted April 5, 2006 yes theres a sale on at HMV also saw other JW scores too - but I have them - such as Attack of the Clones for £2! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marcus 390 Posted April 5, 2006 Share Posted April 5, 2006 Ah, "Stepmom"... A beautiful lyrical and slightly pastoral score, sort of a late 90's pendant piece to "The Accidental Tourist". I am most definitely a fan! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BurgaFlippinMan 7 Posted April 6, 2006 Share Posted April 6, 2006 yes theres a sale on at HMV also saw other JW scores too - but I have them - such as Attack of the Clones for £2!ah crap, wish i was there. then i could get AOTC with normal cover to match up my set.

Richard Penna 3,704 Posted April 6, 2006 Share Posted April 6, 2006 HMV always has a sale on, just nothing I ever want (except a month or so ago, got The Good, The Bad and The Ugly for £5).The day that the standard price for a CD is no more than £6-7 won't be a day too soon. £16.99 is a joke, especially for scores from 10 years ago (as an extreme example, take a look at this and tell me someone isn't hideously profiteering.
