GerateWohl 4,370 Posted December 18, 2023 Share Posted December 18, 2023 The two newest entries in my collection. Obviously Highlander is a bootleg. Didn't know that when I ordered it. But it's great. It has the score and the songs. The Thomas Newman is one of my favourites of his. But I feel, I am fine with a handful of his scores. About 80% of his work I am not interested in, at least not for listening on album. But when I find him great then really great like with this score.

I am probably not such a competent person to ask about this. I am not that audiophil. But to my ears with my equipment it sounds perfectly fine. There is one track, that is obviously directly taken from the movies audio track including Sound effects, this "New York, New York" track from Queen. That is quite rough. But the rest is good.

The CD was a blind buy at a really good price so a bit of an order filler if that makes sense. EDIT: I randomly clicked on this track, and I quite like what I am hearing. Very low-key but pleasantly dreamy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Amer 2,110 Posted January 8 Share Posted January 8 6 hours ago, Andy said: @Amer, do you have a preference for the John Barry books? Which would you recommend first for a casual Barry fan? Both are essential. The MIDAS book is more biographical and covers the various periods of his scores. Music by JB is a delightful compilation of liner note styled essays devoted to each major film xollaboration. More like the Tim Burton Danny Elfman 'Dance Macabre' book by Jeff Bond. I don't know for sure if both are still available but I had them bought a year ago and had them just delivered from UK to me last week by a family member who visited me. .

Popular Post Amer 2,110 Posted January 16 Popular Post Share Posted January 16 First catch of 2024 But an interesting story about LONELY ARE THE BRAVE! The funny story is that I already had LONELY ARE THE BRAVE cd until a few weeks ago. Apparently I was playing this and the MIDWAY Deluxe Edition in my car. While getting out of the car at the end of the day I Apparently placed these discs on my car hood while taking out the groceries and forgot about to pick them back in the moment. A while later drove away. Occasionally hearing a strange swishing sound.Which I mistook for some thing else in my car storage. Even made an extra bump on the road to have what ever it was to settle down. The odd swishing soon dissipated and I went about my business. Next morning I did wonder if the cds were still in my car as their designated space on my shelves at home was still empty. Anyways, when I visited to car to drive to work I noticed MIDWAY neatly fixed on the car back side window where it had somehow lodged itself. The horror dawned suddenly. I now knew the gravity of the situation. The mystery of the odd swishing sounds suddenly became clear. The cds were mistakenly left on the top of my car hood clumsily and now the OOP Very rare and expensive LONELY ARE THE BRAVE CD was gone!! In the short period I tried looking briefly around if it was still here or not. I even visited the place while driving where I had the swishing sounds.But alas. ..there was no sign of it or even broken cd tray or disc. The set was gone. Later in the evening I thoroughly scoured the area but it was now apparent. It was lost.So I sighed and accepted the defeat. I knew it would be a rare thing to find the disc set again and Ebay probably had it a humungous price value. But then I remembered a fellow who was selling a number sealed rare cds at very affordable prices and I had his list. I checked and lo and behold. He still had it and I emailed the fellow and he confirmed it back . So ladies and gents ..a BIG thank you and appreciation to John Johnson [ a fellow respectable FSMer] who has been instrumental in getting me some rare gems for quite some time.Trust worthy and very amicable in his dealings. He certainly has a treasure trove of rare items including many of them which are brand new and still sealed. Please connect with him to seek any of your holy grails. Chances are he has 'em!!

Naïve Old Fart 9,537 Posted January 16 Share Posted January 16 A good, story, @Amer, and I'm glad it turned out ok, with you. LONELY ARE THE BRAVE is a neat score, from an underrated film. I believe that Douglas said that it was his favourite film that he had acted in. Amer 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
