Thor 7,472 Posted August 28, 2020 Share Posted August 28, 2020 Capturing the melancholy of autumn. It's probably my favourite season, so I connect to it easily.

Andy 4,087 Posted August 28, 2020 Share Posted August 28, 2020 Stepmom is just fine. It is not depressing. If it weren't called "Stepmom", it would be held in higher regard. It's definitely not breaking new ground, but it's very listenable, if not "pretty". Tonally, I file it with Accidental Tourist, Stanley & Iris, and to a lesser extent Book Thief and Angela's Ashes. 15 hours ago, Amer said: For me: 1. Presumed Innocent 2.

QuartalHarmony 542 Posted September 21, 2020 Share Posted September 21, 2020 I can't bring myself to pay funny money for CDs I saw in shops 25 years ago for a reasonable price, so there's no way I'm going after OOP Varese ones like Eiger. In the meantime, I'm happy to wait patiently until St Michael of Matessino works his magic on: Eiger Sanction Hook (especially rejigging the Prologue so it's in B minor like wot it should be) Star Wars IV, V and VI (obviously!)

QuartalHarmony 542 Posted September 22, 2020 Share Posted September 22, 2020 My 'suppose so' was referring to the box set, which I know has caused grumblings - I don't usually bother with re-recordings, so the Prague set could be brilliant or dreadful and I wouldn't know! To be honest, the things that are missing from the Indy box set don't bother me much, although the sound quality is a little overcooked/compressed for my taste. The end credits from Doom is great though - the way the tempo change from Willy's theme to the children's crusade is handled is just marvellous.

But someone outbid me. Think I'll get the non-FSM version with HONG KONG. Is there anything wrong with that release or does it sound just as good as FSM? THANKS!

Jay 37,290 Posted December 19, 2020 Share Posted December 19, 2020 The 2014 CD where it is paired with Hong Kong absolutely sounds better than the 2006 FSM edition where it's paired with Rhythm in Motion.

I'm seeing alot of unsold copies going for $50 or more You need to learn how to bid smarter. I haven't lost an eBay auction in years by waiting until the last 15 seconds on an item that's started low and sneakily swooped in by bidding my maximum at about $100, and watching the other panicked bidders suddenly trying to increase their own maximum bids by a few dollars each but the time runs out and they all fail. bruce marshall 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bruce marshall 1,315 Posted December 19, 2020 Author Share Posted December 19, 2020 You don't understand. I don't bid. I offer the original price and.hope no one else bids. This is only.the second auction for me. The first was IN HARM'S WAY which I won! Anyway I cancelled AMAZON and purchased it in DISCOGS. Saved three bucks! Is HONG KONG any good?

In an eBay auction, if nobody else has bidded, don't place any bid/offer, whichever, until the last 20 seconds, watch to see if anyone else outbids you, and be ready to sneak in with that $100 maximum. Don't worry, you won't be paying $100, you'll only pay what the other bidder offered. bruce marshall 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bruce marshall 1,315 Posted December 19, 2020 Author Share Posted December 19, 2020 Again. I go on EBAY to buy, not bid. If someone wants to pay.MORE than the initial bid, they are welcome to it. I just won't get the item. I'm not into that scene. It's like poker. I don't play against people with vastly more experience and knowledge.

bigjimwilson 253 Posted December 19, 2020 Share Posted December 19, 2020 I can confirm that the Checkmate combined with Hong Kong is a great sounding release. I don't actually hear any difference at all between the FSM master and this.... but there is a terrible version out there which I think is just transferred from a record. I think some people confuse that for the FSM. I have that in a box set, and it sounds so bad compared to the Fresh Sounds and the FSM. If you've bought that, you could also get this.... then you have all the material from the FSM release without the price tag.
