Mr. Breathmask 555 Posted September 10, 2014 Author Share Posted September 10, 2014 I picked up the Varese release of Jerry Goldsmith's Planet of the Apes for about 5 Euros in Paris recently. I haven't listened to it yet. Is it any good? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crocodile 8,013 Posted September 10, 2014 Share Posted September 10, 2014 It's a great CD. Not an easy one to listen, mind you, but essential to have. And the funky suite from the third film at the end is fun.Karol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Datameister 2,043 Posted September 11, 2014 Share Posted September 11, 2014 Today I finally broke down and purchased the complete Star Trek: TOS collection from La La Land. My wallet hates me, but my ears will love me. And I can always console myself by remembering that for however many more decades I live, I'll never have to buy another TOS album - seems about as definitive as you can get!

As Walter Matthau says in "JFK": "f***ing outta control!".The other week at a record fair (a sort of indoor yard-sale for music) I boughtSilva Screen "The Last valley",Varese "Midway",Varese "Last of The Mohicans","Advise And Consent" (Jerry Fielding - I am no longer a JF virgin, yay me!),a promo CD of "Meteor",Ryko "Heaven's Gate",something called "Baaria" by Ennio Morricone (me, neither),and the Prometheus "The White Buffalo", all new, and all sealed and all for (get this!) £16, that's about $28!!!!!!!Not a bad record for this vacinity...

crocodile 8,013 Posted September 15, 2014 Share Posted September 15, 2014 It's not that kind of score that many people want expanded.

It doesn't seem like a reasonable purchase at first but, once you get it, it's just pure joy. You kind of get it. I bought one not long ago and it's great. The first score never sounded better, fourth is a msrvelous discovery, two I enjoy and three contains some gems, too.Having said that, Rhino set is a solid and safe buy.

DreamTheater 131 Posted September 24, 2014 Share Posted September 24, 2014 I've got to make myself a Best of BSG, because I like certain tracks for each season but definitely not the majority.I jumped on the hype back when the series was hot, but they're among my least listened to albums.

Marian Schedenig 8,193 Posted September 24, 2014 Share Posted September 24, 2014 They have tons of filler, which is reasonably serviceable for the documentary style of the series but not very interesting on CD.

I think I've seen rumours of future Battlestar releases, most notably a live dvd of one of the concerts Bear did. I wonder if a new album would be a 'best of' or completely unreleased stuff. As the series gets older, I wonder if it gets cheaper to release more material. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
