tjguitar 0 Posted October 15, 2006 Share Posted October 15, 2006 I'm not sure if it's been mentioned, but it seems Naxos has re-issued it's CD of Star Wars and other Sci Fi Music by Richard Hayman's Orchestra.The 2001 track is kind of cool in a jazzy sort of way and I like the battlestar galactica arrangement but the star wars tracks aren't that great.http://www.amazon.com/Star-Wars-Other-Sci-.../dp/B000H4VZ9E/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 10,265 Posted October 15, 2006 Share Posted October 15, 2006 Isn't this so bad that even Miguel would not mind of his copy just dissapeared from his collection? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marian Schedenig 8,153 Posted October 15, 2006 Share Posted October 15, 2006 You mean Hayman did ANOTHER Williams album? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KingPin 201 Posted October 15, 2006 Share Posted October 15, 2006 I'd say not. Most of the tracks, especially the Star Wars ones, are bland, and some of which are Hayman's own less-than-inspired arrangements/edits. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miguel Andrade 1,260 Posted October 15, 2006 Share Posted October 15, 2006 Isn't this so bad that even Miguel would not mind of his copy just dissapeared from his collection?Yes, this perfrmances rank among the worst I know of.

jerrygollay 0 Posted October 16, 2006 Share Posted October 16, 2006 I had ,a long time ago (!) on LP, I didn't know if there is a CD release of that "thing", the face B is 2001 Stereo space odyssey with Douglas Gamley ( TRON) conducting R.Strauss and some W.Holcomb planets, 3 or 4 tracks ...

Miguel Andrade 1,260 Posted October 16, 2006 Share Posted October 16, 2006 I have another thing with the London Phil, that is also quiet bad, but conducted by Frank Barber. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deleted account 108 Posted October 16, 2006 Share Posted October 16, 2006 Naxos is also in iTunes - couldn't resist, downloaded it - it's delightfully bad in spots and not so bad in others - the action part of THE BATTLE is better than the Gerhard version, and includes the missing segment from the Zubin Mehta version (best one IMHO), so one could edit it in if one wanted to, I think.The Colin Frechter/London Phil is by far the best of the worst - it's truly amazing how bad it is, and how much fun it is to listen to. I have it somewhere, maybe a distrib could be arranged somehow for those curious to hear it - is it commercially available now? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
