I was underwhelmed when it first came out but grew quite fond of it. Great symphonic composition it probably isn't but I appreciate its directness and shorthand. It's actually quite memorable too. There are 3-4 themes that I can easily remember. The album is very well assembled so you don't really anything beyond it. It also helps that I rather like this film. Both film and score are underrated. Definitely better than Van Helsing.

 

Give it a go @Jay! It's not a long album.

It'll be a while until I finish listening to everything in my physical collection and move on to old scores on Spotify

Yeah but....

You have to pay thru the nose to order soundtracks from USA;

and then pray it actually gets delivered!

 

It's currently cheaper and faster than to order from UK and Germany.

Having added War of the Worlds to my Intrada cart in the hopes of finding something to share its shipping, and realising they'd listed the shipping wrong on their 'policies' page (it's only $15, not $25), that's now winging its way to me.

 

And I finally got round to actually comparing the sound quality with the OST. Holy. Freaking Crap. I realise I'm late to the party on this one, but it sounds like it was recorded yesterday...

It's kinda shocking that the sound for a score from 2005 could be improved so much! 

 

Of course credit goes to Mike for his restoration work, but I think it really highlights that some bad decisions were made when mastering the original OST album. 

 

Both albums started from the exact same Pro Tools sessions after all.

Yes the sound quality is astonishingly good. Exactly what I had expected(and hoped) I have yet to open my copy of MINORITY REPORT. I hear it sounds equally good too!

Minority Report is similarly improved, though I don't think the MR OST sounded as bad as the WOTW OST so it's not quite as noticeable IMO

Oh no. Don't tell me Sony released this in cardboard sleeves rather than jewel cases. I was about to order it but now I'll rather stick to streaming the albums :(

The series is currently being remastered and re-released on SACD by Vocalion.

Do you think that Artificial Intelligence would sonically have room for improvement if it was remixed and remastered from the analog tapes like Minority Report? To me it seems like that'd be possible.

My first CD of The City Of Prague Philharmonic!

 

It seems a must-have to get John Barry's score for Zulu.

I was just playing this yesterday. 'The Girl With Sun In Her Hair' is one of the highlights on this set.

Indeed, @Amer.

It's far too good for a hair product advertisement.

You should also get their Walkabout re-recording, in fact all their Barry recordings are terrific IMHO.

Yes, they are. RAISE THE TITANIC is good, as well.

Is it the movie that ruined the career of Banderas? Or maybe he got the role because his career was already ruined... :lol:
