Charlie Brigden 7 Posted December 23, 2009 Share Posted December 23, 2009 I'd say that'd be one of those "don't believe everything you read on Wikipedia" moments.I did think of that, but Goldsmith can be loveable irritable sometimes. And he certainly seemed to like being in control of how the music of his that was out there was presented (not saying that there's anything wrong with that at all, quite the opposite).

Anyone ever see this happen? Anyone have it happen to them?It's a well-known rumour at least. Though really, if you're stupid enough to have a composer sign a CDR of his own music - especially Goldsmith, who never quite understood the die-hard collectors - you had it coming anyway.Bruce Broughton was somewhat surprised by the artwork when a friend of mine gave him Lost in Space to sign - not the Intrada release of the full score, but the original album filled mostly with songs.

Anyone ever see this happen? Anyone have it happen to them?I saw J.G conduct at The Barbican at his 80th birthday concert, in 1999. Afterward, as we were queueing for his autograph (I got my vinyl copy of POTA signed), someone produced a bootleg c.d., at which point someone else said: "I wouldn't chance it, he's been known to stamp on bootlegs"...

Ollie 1,064 Posted February 1, 2010 Share Posted February 1, 2010 Does anyone know if the music in the A-TEAM trailer is Silvestri's?I don't know, part of it sounds a little too generic for my tastes. A little too RCish. I would guess that it's just standard trailer music composed for the film. I don't even think Silvestri has started scoring the film yet.Quick question: Who's interested in the Apollo 13 promo score? 31 hours left, currently $7.38 including shipping.http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=160398781719If that's the real deal I'd say people should keep an eye on the auction.I noticed the other day that the OST for Poledouris' Les Miserables is 49 mins, and the 28 track unmentionable that I have is only 3 minutes longer.Does that mean that I have an incomplete boot, or that the OST has almost the entire score?I don't know. I know the packaging on the CD has the wrong track listings / times. I think it makes the CD longer that it actually is. You may have all the music. There was a 71 minute version, but that was full of suites and an end credit version that just contained the same material found on the original album.

Marian Schedenig 8,240 Posted February 13, 2010 Share Posted February 13, 2010 Is there any difference in sound quality between This Lord of the Rings CD and This one?I only have the second one, but I believe both are identical. The second one at least is seriously remastered compared to the original CD release, features 4 (I think) extra cues, at least one of which is worthwhile, and also has the correct sequencing. The original CD release had what has to be the worst track order of any soundtrack (and, confusingly, still listed the tracks in film order...when I first got it, it took me a while to figure out that the actual order was completely different).PS: I love this review. Apparently someone was expecting the Shore score and after hearing the album, decided that this is a "Japanese reissue" which substitutes Shore's score for totally unrelated music.

Andy 4,214 Posted February 13, 2010 Share Posted February 13, 2010 I only have the second one, but I believe both are identical. Just to be clear, you are referring to the one with the LOTR Logo on the cover art , or the action scene artwork? Amazon lists both tracklists as identical.

Marian Schedenig 8,240 Posted February 13, 2010 Share Posted February 13, 2010 The one with the logo and the Rosenman credit in white font on the lower left. Which in turn is identical to the original cover art of the first CD (and I imagine LP) release, except for the white text, which was added for the remastered release.
