crocodile 7,990 Posted July 27, 2019 Share Posted July 27, 2019 One of my favourite things about visiting home for holiday around this time of the year is going to St Dominic's Fair in Gdansk where I always find some used old CD's dead cheap. Oh and I also bought a mint cheap copy of this on Ebay: Karol Incanus 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1977 1,743 Posted July 30, 2019 Share Posted July 30, 2019 Part of the reason I got some of those was on hearing that Sony Music had decided to stop licencing to third parties. I was on the fence about Titanic and Dances With Wolves for ages. Who knows if and when some of these will ever see another release. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Incanus 5,713 Posted July 30, 2019 Share Posted July 30, 2019 I sort agree with Jurassic Shark. Quite enough of John Dunbar theme in that 75 minute programme. Are there any actual highlights left off the Sony album? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Jay 37,323 Posted July 30, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted July 30, 2019 Oh, absolutely. Don't bother with the bonus tracks, but the main program that fills disc 1 and goes into disc 2 is a pleasure to listen to, much more varied and interesting than any prior presentation due to the wealth of additional underscore that really lets all the highlights breath. It has a great ebb and flow, build and release Amer, 1977, The Illustrious Jerry and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arpy 4,145 Posted August 9, 2019 Share Posted August 9, 2019 Went on a little OOP hunt and claimed these CDs: Memoirs of a Geisha - John Williams in mint condition for a decent price. Always wanted this score, so I'm happy to have it - now just to wait for next year when LLL announces their expanded version... Meet the Robinsons - Danny Elfman Wall-E - Thomas Newman. The carboard packaging design is amazing, one of those times when I love owning something physical as opposed to a jewel-case. Spectre - Thomas Newman (not OOP, but not in stores) Writing on the Wall by Sam Smith is fucking atrocious so I'm glad it wasn't included. Doctor Who: The Snowmen and The Doctor, the Widow and the Wardrobe - Murray Gold - the last CD to complete my Gold Doctor Who OST collection.

ORGANIZATION, ARCHITECTURE AND MORALITY, and DAZZLE SHIPS are all great works. Well, I grew up with a compilation tape that must have been a precursor to the current The OMD Singles. Electricity (which was the first song on it) is still one of the quintessential OMD songs for me. Sugar Tax came out just when I used to listen to the charts (before I discovered John Williams), so Sailing on the Seven Seas has always been a favourite as well. English Electric is on order together with the Mutter/Williams CD, so should arrive in September, and then my collection of OMD albums will only have two remaining gaps of 3 albums each both sides of Sugar Tax.

Truth be told, I only ordered Cinema Paradiso to round out the order. I love the film and like the score, but rarely listen to it. When playing the new disc, I realised that there's something to the sound of the recording/mix that I find really grating, or unnatural and oddly balanced. The new release is faithful to the older one in that regard, so it may have improved sound, but it's character of the sound that I've got a problem with. Nevertheless it's a very good score, of course, it's just that the old album was probably sufficient for me. (Different story altogether if you don't have that one, of course) 15 hours ago, Jurassic Shark said: So you like the 20th century album better than this 19th century album. Nothing wrong about that! Personally, I particularly like these tracks: I've had the Griegs before, especially Peer Gynt of course, and I prefer both my Karajan and Järvi recordings to these.

And I've yet to play Chamber of Secrets. But I just opened my set of AI and have been playing this non stop. So many releases and so little time. But it's fun. Got about 50-60 more releases to get to. All sealed up in my CD cabinet. thx99 and 1977 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
