Fuck, yeah, Jay! It was amazing, in 1968, it was amazing when I first saw the film, in 1972, and it's amazing, now. It's among the finest collected pieces of music ever matched to celluloid. My appreciation for the Sky Captain OST has waxed and waned over time, but I currently have enough fondness for it to warrant buying the expansion. I'm also hoping that the full score will allow a little more room to "breathe", since the OST can be a little oppressive in its enthusiasm.

Maglorfin 196 Posted January 23, 2020 Share Posted January 23, 2020 No, none of those yet. Those are my first two CDs by APP and I must say I very much like Tales ... with The Cask of Amontillado being my absolute song so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maglorfin 196 Posted January 24, 2020 Share Posted January 24, 2020 It's definitely a great band, very versatile and with a unique sound. Got these three last Saturday in Vienna: - Broadchurch soundtrack - Neujahrskonzert 2020 - Neujahrskonzert 1987, WP conducted by Karajan (this was a gem I wasn't expecting to find and was a great bargain at 5 EUR) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jurassic Shark 12,197 Posted January 30, 2020 Share Posted January 30, 2020 An inventive, evocative gem of a score by our very own @Marcus, with lots of fun pastiches on themes by Mozart. Central to the score is one of my favorite mozart pieces, Ave Verum Corpus! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This one is great but leaves out two thirds of the score!) Alien Nation is my favorite of Jerry's three all-synth scores, even though it's the one that went unused in the film. Runaway might be the best compositionally, but I find the early 80s synths too grating to enjoy listening to. The synths in Alien Nation are far better and it's got a nice theme. The Sand Pebbles is a masterpiece but I don't care much for the main love theme so I confess I don't listen to it all that often. If you like the score though you'll need to eventually pick up the two disc Intrada version which has a good chunk more music (everything except one lost cue).

I think this is a score that benefits from an album presentation focussed on highlights. I'll know shortly whether this is the case Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Personally I find the album too short and I miss development of the love theme in particular, but it is a tight, excellent listen still. And an excellent performance under Jerry's baton.

Holko 9,593 Posted February 3, 2020 Share Posted February 3, 2020 Didn't know where to put this so feel free to move it - the EU is apparently doing away with outside packages with a value of under 22€ being customs and VAT-free in 2021. RIP LLL/Intrada/whoever_else_is_doing_the_value_markdown_trick's shipping prices, and probably even the base prices in EU-based stores who import them.

Jurassic Shark 12,197 Posted February 3, 2020 Share Posted February 3, 2020 Yes, but the good thing is that there won't be a handling fee at customs if the store agrees to collect the VAT on behalf of the country. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
