Jay 37,373 Posted September 22, 2010 Author Share Posted September 22, 2010 I enjoyed all 3 volumes just about equally, other then of course finding The Mission far superior to anything else on the setsAll 3 volumes features a wonderful variety of good film scoring Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jacob 0 Posted September 22, 2010 Share Posted September 22, 2010 Oh hell, I'm totally unfamiliar with these and I've snagged all three.They've been on my "I'll have to look into that" list forever.I figure at the least I could turn around and resell them once they're out of print.

Koray Savas 2,251 Posted September 22, 2010 Share Posted September 22, 2010 Yeah I'm not getting those sets. I kinda regret making a La-La Land purchase for the hell of it. Still haven't touched Lost In Space and Blazing Saddles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jay 37,373 Posted September 22, 2010 Author Share Posted September 22, 2010 "The Mission", the Williams-scored episode on Anthology III, is easily as good as the best film scores he was composing in that era (80s). You'd never assume you were listening to a television score, its a film score Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wojo 2,453 Posted September 24, 2010 Share Posted September 24, 2010 I should've waited for Monday's release, whatever it is, since SAE still has all three (MM is missing one or two), but oh well.I think I'm back to three soundtrack orders that haven't shipped yet:- one from MM with Under Fire, SpaceCamp, and Tadlow's Lawrence of Arabia;- one from SAE with the Ron Jones box and TBOBW standalone;- and this one.Yikes.

Gruesome Son of a Bitch 6,488 Posted October 6, 2010 Share Posted October 6, 2010 Williams' music is, I don't listen to the other stuff. But The Mission is classic 80s bone-chillingly good JW adventure and dramatic music. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jacob 0 Posted October 6, 2010 Share Posted October 6, 2010 So these are good? I bought them but haven't listened yet.I think so. I'm enjoying them more as I become familiar with them.As most have some kind of supernatural/horror/mystery tinge they make ideal listening for October.These are the episodes that have stood out to me the most so far:The MissionGhost TrainAlamo JobeGather Ye Acorns Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy 4,141 Posted October 6, 2010 Share Posted October 6, 2010 Exactly my favorites, too, but I would add Mummy Daddy to that list.There is a high concentration of good material on Disc 1 of Volume 1, and Disc 2 of Volume 3. So... it starts good and ends on a phenomenal high note. The fact is, 6- 70 minute CDs is a huge volume of music to listen to. Mileage may indeed vary.
