publicist 4,643 Posted April 28, 2015 Author Share Posted April 28, 2015 Yeah, his tunes are not the problem, neither are Tiomkin's who wrote some over-great ones.

Mr. Brown 91 Posted May 4, 2015 Share Posted May 4, 2015 Looking forward to this one.Nice year for Herrmann, so far, with OBSESSION (Music Box), OBSESSION (Tadlow), BENEATH THE 12 MILE REEF (Kritzerland) and THE EGYPTIAN (LaLaLand).I'm hoping for more of those 20th Century Fox scores from Kritzerland, especially THE GHOST AND MRS.

crocodile 7,998 Posted May 21, 2015 Share Posted May 21, 2015 Yeah, it might seem rather simple and refreshed but the gist of it is that the gang at Tadlow did it again.I've heard the album a few weeks ago myself (through private cloud listening party). And it's really good. Obviously, purists will find reasons to tear this apart (I've seen Sharky not being happy about the recording?) but it definitely captures the soul and essence of this score. People should be happy with it, as usual.Karol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jay 37,336 Posted May 21, 2015 Share Posted May 21, 2015 It's odd to me that anybody could get mad at this release, since nobody is forcing anybody to buy it, and the original film tracks were just released in the best quality they probably ever will be.

crocodile 7,998 Posted June 13, 2015 Share Posted June 13, 2015 It's one of the best looking Tadlow releases out there. And liner notes are interesting, too.I can't wait to try out Blu-ray disc.You can go wrong with either this or Music Box Records version. Both are wonderful but for different reasons.Karol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Incanus 5,714 Posted June 16, 2015 Share Posted June 16, 2015 The Tadlow re-recording of Herrmann's Obsession finally arrived. The music itself is something new for me to discover but I have to say it is that classic Herrmann I know and love. The liner notes by Christopher Husted focus more on the film and its influences than Herrmann's music (no track-by-track analysis here) but since the composer's ideas do reoccur obsessively throughout spotting such structures will not be difficult. The choir and the organ are the most noteworthy inclusions in the palette of this music and add that slightly eerie yet beautiful aura to much of this music. I can't wait to delve deeper into this.
