Nick Parker 3,017 Posted August 19, 2008 Share Posted August 19, 2008 I need to know in time for my next "John Williams Roundup". Also, could someone perhaps recommend some uncommon (but still affordable) John Williams albums? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Koray Savas 2,095 Posted August 19, 2008 Share Posted August 19, 2008 Yes they are worth purchasing. Get A.I. first though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick Parker 3,017 Posted August 19, 2008 Author Share Posted August 19, 2008 I will be getting them (and perhaps "Munich"...?) simultaneously, hence the "John Williams Roundup". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Koray Savas 2,095 Posted August 19, 2008 Share Posted August 19, 2008 Scratch that, get Munich first. A lot people don't like here, but it's one of my favorite Williams' scores. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick Parker 3,017 Posted August 19, 2008 Author Share Posted August 19, 2008 I will be getting them SIMULTANEOUSLY, meaning that I am getting them at the same time. Therefore, that means that the order in which I get them is irrelevant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Koray Savas 2,095 Posted August 19, 2008 Share Posted August 19, 2008 I know, but it seemed you were unsure about Munich. You'll enjoy listening to all of them, great music. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick Parker 3,017 Posted August 19, 2008 Author Share Posted August 19, 2008 How is "Seven Years In Tibet"? (I am pushing my budget here....) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Josh500 1,602 Posted August 19, 2008 Share Posted August 19, 2008 OH MY GOD, I can't believe there's someone on this board who doesn't own A.I. and Memoirs yet. Get them all (even Minority and Tibet), right now!!! Trust me, you won't regret it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marian Schedenig 5,520 Posted August 19, 2008 Share Posted August 19, 2008 Post-Schindler Williams drama scores? Get Rosewood and Amistad, skip the others if necessary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrScratch 292 Posted August 19, 2008 Share Posted August 19, 2008 A.I. is the best score of all the ones mentioned in this thread so far, not counting Schindlers List.How is "Seven Years In Tibet"? (I am pushing my budget here....)The theme is wonderful, the rest of the score never did much for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Red 73 Posted August 19, 2008 Share Posted August 19, 2008 A.I. and Memoirs are great (the former more so), the cream of the crop when it comes to modern non-franchise Williams. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ymenard 35 Posted August 19, 2008 Share Posted August 19, 2008 You will eventually end up buying all of them, so why wait? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maestro 57 Posted August 19, 2008 Share Posted August 19, 2008 For the uncommon score, I heartily recommend Monsignor. It is lush, gorgeous, memorable, richly thematic, and heartbreakingly dramatic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nick Parker 3,017 Posted August 19, 2008 Author Share Posted August 19, 2008 Is there a way to get only the first "Superman score" from "The Blue Box"?

Neimoidian 13 Posted August 19, 2008 Share Posted August 19, 2008 Memoirs of a Geisha - YES!Seven Years in Tibet - YES!A.I. - yesCinderella Liberty - rather yes, unless you can't stand non-symphonic WilliamsMinority Report - not really, unless you really want.

Josh500 1,602 Posted August 19, 2008 Share Posted August 19, 2008 The theme is wonderful, the rest of the score never did much for me."Regaining a Son" and "Leaving Ingrid" are pretty great, too, the former more so.Still, the first track alone is worth the price of admission...

John Crichton 4 Posted August 19, 2008 Share Posted August 19, 2008 OK, now we're getting somewhere. Get the first three Indys, all three Potters, and Star Wars I (the UE if possible, flawed though it is at least it's somewhat "complete") and II, in that order, and thank me later.
