Joe Brausam 214 Posted July 8, 2008 Share Posted July 8, 2008 Nope, no shipment notification either - though I usually don't get one. I ordered within the first minutes of the Bernstein box being announced, so I can't imagine them waiting much longer to send my order out.Ordered the new FSM Westerns box, today.

Ollie 1,059 Posted July 8, 2008 Share Posted July 8, 2008 Varese gives some people notices and some they don't. I used to get a shipping notice when they shipped UPS but ever since they switched to USPS I quit getting them but my packages started arriving quicker.I still show 6 orders over the past 6 years as pending even though I've received them.

Morlock 11 Posted July 8, 2008 Share Posted July 8, 2008 Same here. I generally find myself ordering the Varese CDs through SAE. $5 more, but the comfort of being to combine labels and knowing what's the status of my package is generally worth the cost. This time, I only ordered Varese because I wanted to get another CD that SAE did not have available. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TKAM is a damned good score.Indeed. Nice purchase all around, looks like. Alien is one I'm definitely glad I purchased.Just got:Selections from The Prince of Egypt - Zimmer/Various (for the non-OST cues)The Spielberg/Williams Collaboration - John WilliamsFar and Away - John WilliamsSome comments:1. I love used book/music places, although I'm sometimes leery of the fact that I don't know who had this previously (and almost didn't buy these items at the sudden intrusion of that thought), but the better condition it's in, the less concerned I am, and I am truly glad for the albums I've purchased here.2. I didn't listen to the first track yet, but maybe Koray can help me with this: the second half of "Chariot Race" sounds in some ways to be the finale, but I know the last segment is DEFINITELY not it, and I don't think it's even in the film. Is this the true ending (with the one in film being tracked from the ending of the opening), an alternate ending, or something else completely different? 3. Though I haven't gotten to finish it, I'm absolutely loving Far and Away. Outstanding music. Also, the more I hear of this and the more I relisten to Hook, the more convinced I am that Williams truly was going for an early 90's sound for KOTCS, in direct chronological descent from LC. Very interesting, and only making my appreciation for the score grow that much more.4. If the selection on The Spielberg/Williams Collaboration is any decent representation, I don't understand why Always gets such a bad rep. It's quite nice, and I'm really glad I picked up the CD. I really want to get all of the scores on there now--and it feels so great to have the "March from 1941" in my collection. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marian Schedenig 8,191 Posted July 13, 2008 Share Posted July 13, 2008 Perhaps the most important bit on Collaboration is the performance of Scherzo for Motorcycle and Orchestra. It pwns (for lack of a better word) the original soundtrack recording. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Delorean90 42 Posted July 13, 2008 Share Posted July 13, 2008 I still like both recordings. The Collaboration performance does have a really good kick to it, but I also like the fullness of the soundtrack recording, and I find that long brass note for the flying Nazi to be more satisfying on the soundtrack.

Wojo 2,453 Posted July 14, 2008 Share Posted July 14, 2008 I literally just pre-ordered the re-recording of El Cid for almost $42 US. Not wishing my life away or anything, I can't wait for September.

Delorean90 42 Posted July 15, 2008 Share Posted July 15, 2008 Bought from Barnes and Noble:The Untouchables - Ennio MorriconeTerrific album. The sequencing is a bit weird; not having seen the film, just the effect of having "Machine Gun Lullaby" be last, "End Credits" be at the start, and "Main Titles" be in the middle is a little loopy. At the same time, there's a neat effect if you start on "The Man With the Matches." It almost feels like it's a prologue leading into the main titles. I'll be resequencing it once my computer is all fixed up. Anyway, as for the actual music itself: I found this by looking for the music that played on the teaser trailer for The Spirit. It really caught my ear, and when I found it on SoundtrackNet, I listened to the samples, and from then on it just clawed at me. I had to have this thing. And I'm not disappointed. The theme from "The Strength of the Righteous" is really cool, with neat variations throughout--the most prominent one being "On the Rooftops" (nicely transferring the harmonica melody to ragtime piano). The "Untouchables" theme is a fine uplifting theme--I can see it being played triumphantly over the finale of a movie. The softer elements--"Death Theme" and "Ness and His Family"--are very pretty. "Death Theme" is rather striking in its wonderful combination of sadness, reflection, and comfort. Beautiful. And "Ness and His Family" is also very nice. This is my first Morricone album, and I highly recommend it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
