As long as it's MONSIGNOR. Where's HEARTBEEPS, and POPS IN SPACE, and AISLE SEAT, and POPS ON BROADWAY, and the Varese Sarabande VIOLIN/FLUTE CONCERTI, and AMERICA THE DREAM GOES ON, and AMAZING STORIES (OST, or RSNO), and the '85 recording of the TUBA CONCERTO?

I don't mix the soundtracks and the other albums. Heartbeeps... I completely forgot this one! One day, I imagine that the two only missings soundtracks in my collection will be Heartbeeps and Images. Amazing Stories, I wait for a reissue or a collection featuring only JW's music. I'm not really into TV soundtracks... Jurassic Shark 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is apparently the Chandos artistic direction. All their re-recording covers look more or less like that. But it is not the cover but the music that counts, right? 7 hours ago, Richard said: That's a good one @Incanus , that's a damn good one. I already bought the complete score re-recording of the Scott of the Antarctica by Martin Yates and RSNO so I thought to check out the 40 minute suite plus Coastal Command and The People's Land while I was at it. These BBC Philharmonic/Rumon Gamba re-recordings are usually pretty ace. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Incanus 5,715 Posted January 29, 2018 Share Posted January 29, 2018 You will be in for a treat. The score is a classic and the new re-recording flows superbly considering how short some of the film cues are. The music has such evocative feel to it, full of wind, snow and cold majesty of the ice combined with ominous strains of doom that shadow the ill-fated expedition and some welcome lovely lighter interludes, a film score that stands very well on its own two feet on album in suite and complete form.

Naïve Old Fart 9,534 Posted January 29, 2018 Share Posted January 29, 2018 The Chandos is great, and not just for the SCOTT... suite. The Complete Score is also great, and played well, but don't expect much in the way of full 5.1 sound. It's more like stereo, with rear speaker bleeding. This does not, in any way, take anything away from the music. Both are brilliant entries, from England's finest. Amer 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love gentle music. I'm not an expert of "Thomas and the King" (that I dislike), but this track makes me think a little bit of it. Yes, from 03:35 the track concludes to a brillant finale.

Sir Hilary Bray 235 Posted February 12, 2018 Share Posted February 12, 2018 New copies of Batman'66 and Superman (Rhino). My current copies seemed to have gotten scratched and hard to play all of a sudden. Sadly my Wind and the Lion from Intrada won't work at all but can't afford a new copy. Sort of like having 'hard' copies even though I rip them to laptop or my phone. Debating whether to send them off to get fixed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
