Jay 37,326 Posted September 6, 2016 Share Posted September 6, 2016 There's some great music on the FYC that wasn't on the OST, and even more that turned up on the blu ray in the background of special features, etc. Hopefully a 2CD set will happen somehow, or a recording session leak Will 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sir Hilary Bray 235 Posted September 6, 2016 Share Posted September 6, 2016 Some of this I brought last week cheap and half come via an Amazon giftcard for my birthday. Star Trek Insurrection/First Contact/Best of Both Worlds expanded Robin & Marian, The Last Crusade, Gettysburg Individual tracks- The Last Valley, Zulu, Monte Walsh & High Road to China (John Barry), Princess Leia's Theme/UFO/Return of the Saint (Geoff Love), Battle of the River Plate (Easdale), Cruel Sea (Rawsthorne), Wind and the Lion/The Swarm (Suite), Boys from Brazil (Suite, Goldsmith). I'm sure Star Trek Beyond will follow at some point once it comes out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JWMike 117 Posted September 11, 2016 Share Posted September 11, 2016 Finally finished purchasing all of the New York Rock & Roll Ensemble CDs, going together nicely with Michael Kamen's subsequent solo effort, aptly titled New York Rock. This band was really good. They drop in some Bach, a Hendrix cover, a cover of A Whiter Shade of Pale but the bulk of the material is their own version of 60's Rock and is really strong and enjoyable. It really is an ensemble that shares both the songwriting and lead vocal duties but Kamen fans will enjoy the fact that Kamen is the most prolific in both categories. Of particular note to film score fans is the fact that not just one but two notable composers came from the band. Mark Snow, then known as Martin Fulterman played both Drums and Oboe in the band as well as taking on his share of the songwriting. One fascinating writing collaboration between Fulterman and Kamen was the song Beside You, sung by Kamen. This was later brought back to life for the Kamen-scored film What Dreams May Come, this time with a new vocal by Mick Hucknell. Film score fans may also recognise both the name and sax-playing of David Sanborn on Kamen's solo album. They would later notably collaborate on the Lethal Weapon scores as well as on a saxophone concerto. Kamen fans check this stuff out if you haven't already!

Seven's autograph came on a separate, second booklet included along with a sealed copy of the normal release I've already opened Ferris Bueller and began listening, and it sounds great!
