Mr. Breathmask 555 Posted November 3, 2007 Share Posted November 3, 2007 Besides the packaging, are there any differences between the ESB 1997 soundtrack release and the most recent release. I have the newest trilogy release already but I just bought this 1997 version because of the superior packaging. Are there any differences in sound quality?Nope.

indy4 155 Posted November 4, 2007 Share Posted November 4, 2007 Just got my third JNH soundtrack, Dinosaur. Also got my tenth Elfman soundtrack, Batman Returns. And finally, my thirty seventh JW soundtrack, Far and Away. The Land Race is the only one I've heard so far, but it's a wonderful track. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

indy4 155 Posted November 4, 2007 Share Posted November 4, 2007 What's everybody's thoughts on Sabrina? I got it a few weeks ago, and I'm having trouble listening to it. Occasionally, I'll hear a bit, but it never keeps my attention long enough. I'm slightly dreading hearing it properly, but I may be pleasantly suprised. Is it a good or bad soundtrack?

Ray Barnsbury 8 Posted November 4, 2007 Share Posted November 4, 2007 I really like Sabrina. It's a light, romantic score with three good themes (two of which also appear in song form on the album). A very pleasant listen. Oh, and don't listen to Morlock's opinion on it. Ray Barnsbury Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Richard Penna 3,686 Posted November 4, 2007 Share Posted November 4, 2007 I've ordered the new Doctor Who Series 3 CD - should be here tomorrow (Monday). Looks like it has some great stuff on it, including the whole taxi chase sequence and the wonderful Abide With Me heard at the end of Gridlock.This purchase is also very unusual for me, because not only do I buy very few CDs these days (my way of silently protesting against the record companies' recent actions), but also I don't usually buy 'blind'. I have faith that this music will be good Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

indy4 155 Posted November 7, 2007 Share Posted November 7, 2007 Keep in mind I've barley heard much of this score, so this review isn't final.Well, I love the music for the Godess of Chaos, whatever her name was. Excellent! In terms of the swashbuckling music, well, I like Treasure Planet more. Defenetly not bad, but the theme isn't as good as the one from TP. I'll give this one time, though.One question - when I open the cover, there's a picture of Sinbad and his girlfriend standing on a rink of ice with frozen snow around it. Stamped onto this picture is the word PROMO. It seems like an official release, it has a barcode and everything, the tracks are the same as the ones listed on Amazon, and the cover is the same as the one on Amazon, so I'm pretty sure it isn't a promo. Anybody know what this means? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Koray Savas 2,251 Posted November 7, 2007 Share Posted November 7, 2007 It's a promo. It's the same thing as a barcode cutout or punchhole.My Peacemaker has PROMOTIONAL stamped on the CD itself, I didn't like that much.I recently got Bee Movie by Rupert G-W and From The Earth To The Moon Episode II: Apollo One by Mark Mancina.

Ray Barnsbury 8 Posted November 14, 2007 Share Posted November 14, 2007 Just got Symphonic Lloyd Webber, an album I came across on iTunes and ended up buying on e-bay. It's all orchestral arrangements of ALW music, and I mainly got it for "Phantom Fantasia," a lengthy suite of all the major songs/themes from Phantom. Oh, and it's performed by the LSO so it's top-notch, naturally. The Cats suite is nice too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Delorean90 42 Posted November 16, 2007 Share Posted November 16, 2007 A few days ago, I purchased Young Indiana Jones Volume Two and Michael Kamen's 101 Dalmatians. I haven't received the former yet, but the Kamen was well worth it. It's apparently out of print, but I got it brand new on the Amazon Marketplace for something like $6 with shipping. It's missing some music I was hoping would be on it, but there's really good material on the album. I recommend it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Delorean90 42 Posted November 17, 2007 Share Posted November 17, 2007 HOw is Young Indy Vol. 1? I've never seen the TV show, nor do I own any of the music, but I'm curious.I haven't grabbed Vol. 1 yet. It's at $36 on Amazon right now, and I haven't checked Ebay or Half, whereas Vol. 2 was about $18, and I definitely wanted the Vienna music. I haven't finished Vol. 2, but so far it's quite good. The Vienna music (tracks 2-6, I think) has some really lovely music. I love the main theme Rosenthal composed for the episode for the young love between Indy and Princess Sophie. The music from German East Africa and The Congo was very good, also, with Desert Trek being the standout thus far. I haven't listened to the rest just yet. I'm definitely glad I got it, that's for sure. I just wish I had picked up Volume 3, as it has a lot of music from "Mystery of the Blues" and "Scandals of 1920"--I'm a fan of Gershwin and jazz. And I wish that Volume 4, which has a lot of the music from Phantom Train of Doom, wasn't so expensive, as McNeely's music for that was a lot of fun in the episode. I definitely recommend looking into the shows and the music. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marian Schedenig 8,192 Posted November 20, 2007 Share Posted November 20, 2007 Very good. I saw Hunchback a couple of years ago (want to see it again) and wanted to get the score since then. Now, can anyone tell my why the cue Thank You Mother of God is so familiar to me? It must have been used in some later movie, because while I couldn't recall the rest of the score, I know the fanfare bit in the middle of this track perfectly well.

The last three tracks are fantastic. But really, listen to the whole thing. As for the track titles, these were posted at Intrada or FSM a while ago, they seem to make sense.1.
