Nick Parker 3,040 Posted March 3, 2009 Share Posted March 3, 2009 I bought The Fury for twenty Dollars! YES! So, what is generally considered better: the film recording, or the album recording?I'm afraid you have to find out on your own this time.Fair enough, I was just curious to know. Also, I got the original Arista CD of Close Encounters of the Third Kind yesterday. Forgive me if this another unwelcome question, but what all on the expanded release is not on this one?

Andy 4,091 Posted March 3, 2009 Share Posted March 3, 2009 The expanded CE3K is an entirely different listening experience. The original album was a pretty choppy edit job. If you can, go for the expanded. I never truly appreciated this score until the expanded version came out. Plus, the sound quality is better. Plus they hold that one low note for a moment after the little boy says "Goodbye!" and then the orchestra swells with the liftoff of the mothership. It's just a little pause, but timing is everything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

paleo 63 Posted March 4, 2009 Share Posted March 4, 2009 I did enjoy some of Kamen's work, like Robin Hood, but mostly I found his music a bit unimaginative. He certainly was a good composer though, and I would have liked to hear more of him.I ordered Dinotopia by Jones recently, but the order has apparently been lost. Should have been here weeks ago.

Wojo 2,453 Posted March 6, 2009 Share Posted March 6, 2009 The interview and concert arrangement of the Raiders March are unnecessary.The extra track from Raiders of the Lost Ark is superior to the Well of the Souls track that's on the single Raiders disc.The extra music from Temple of Doom is good, but it's not better than anything on the single ToD disc.But the extra music from Last Crusade do enhance the single disc Last Crusade, particularly the Wrong Choice, Right Choice track.You saved $25.

Joe Brausam 214 Posted March 7, 2009 Share Posted March 7, 2009 I'm trying to have fun but I have to say, it's not terribly interesting! It has a nice musical ballet sequence in it and that music is pretty cool, but beyond that there are very few highlights. I think the subject matter just isn't suited to the composer's style.

Nick Parker 3,040 Posted March 8, 2009 Share Posted March 8, 2009 Oh, that is unfortunate. Would that ballet piece be called "Aragonaise", by any chance? If so, I think I may be fleetingly familiar with this opera....Also, a quick search shows that Jule Massenet's "game", so to speak, was romantic operas, so Massenet, I would think, was very much in his element writing Le Cid.
