Popular Post Naïve Old Fart 9,516 Posted November 26, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted November 26, 2021 Soundtrack sourcing has changed so much, and we're all running to catch up. I don't want to jump to any conclusions, but, look: FIDDLER ON THE ROOF, and JWfan, two things separated by 50 years of soundtracks, have just been suddenly thrown back into the mix, together. How can we possibly have any idea what to expect? Brando, Tallguy, bollemanneke and 1 other 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At least for the six discs with the suites. Then some Rozsa, some Waxman, some additional Herrmann and one Korngold. But basically this was my Rozsa discovery year. And there exist some brillant recordings. Yavar Moradi 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bruce marshall 1,315 Posted November 26, 2021 Share Posted November 26, 2021 I never consider Herrmann as " Golden Age" because his style was the antetithisist of that musical movement. GerateWohl 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GerateWohl 4,357 Posted November 26, 2021 Share Posted November 26, 2021 Ok. Surely, it makes sense to exclude his works from the 60s and 70s from that category. Particularly from the 50s as well. But Jane Eyre for example is for me pretty much Golden Age. Yavar Moradi 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alan 689 Posted November 26, 2021 Share Posted November 26, 2021 Things like the Potter box, Star Trek: TMP, ET, Close Encounters and all the other grail releases they've given us are going to be very hard indeed to top. Still, although there's not much here I'm personally excited about (I might get Fiddler though), it seems like a decent mix of releases that are bound to satisfy a lot of collectors.

Popular Post crocodile 8,006 Posted November 26, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted November 26, 2021 Forgive me for being so direct but I've got something to get off my chest. Sorry if anyone takes it too personally... Just trying to reframe some things for you. Those labels release what they can and when they can. Sure, I'd like to have my Willows and Indiana Jones out by now. But that's not the reality of it. So expressing displeasure or disappointment publicly on message boards or social media achieves absolutely nothing. They know what everyone wants and would give us just that right now if they could. Because it makes no financial sense for them to withdraw these things. They're not out of touch. If you are not interested, just move along. No point of going public with negativity or letting everyone know how disinterested you are. No value in that. It only reinstates the point that the film music community is immature and spoiled. If there's nothing in the batch then be grateful you get to save up more money for Christmas. Or save up for the upcoming titles you might actually want. Or get the titles you didn't get to buy earlier. Whatever. You're not actually losing anything here. Those "desired" titles will come when they will come.

Naïve Old Fart 9,516 Posted November 26, 2021 Share Posted November 26, 2021 Well said, @crocodile. Personally speaking, a new, C&C, remastered edition of FIDDLER ON THE ROOF - with original music by John Williams, thank you very much! - is an instant buy. If I went down to my local H.M.V., and saw this, I'd be dancing all over the store, never mind complaining! Have we all come to expect too much?

Popular Post GerateWohl 4,357 Posted November 26, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted November 26, 2021 I think, nobody here said anything negative about the label itself. And I see no issue with expressing decent disappointment on the offering after the same people where jumping around here, expressing their hopes and desires for that event on the board since days, partly even weeks, which is also kind of viral promotion. To ask them, in case their expectations are not met to remain silent and pass by is hypocritical to a certain degree. If this is no discussion board, but just a promotion platform let me know.

Richard Penna 3,686 Posted November 26, 2021 Share Posted November 26, 2021 Expressing disappointment is natural, but it often seems to be framed by the inherent assumption that it must contain a tentpole score to be worth something.

Thor 7,495 Posted November 26, 2021 Share Posted November 26, 2021 My rundown of these: As I've said elsewhere, I'm content with the 30th anniversary disc of FIDDLER. FRIDAY 13th is not my cup of tea. I think I sampled THE NEXT KARATE KID years and years ago (when the box came out?), but I'm willing to give it another shot. There's some great music in Conti's KARATE KID scores, but also some rather meandering stuff. We need to get Hillary Swank to do COBRA KAI! THE DIARY OF ANNE FRANK is a great score. I would have preferred a rerecording, but to my knowledge, none exists (feel free to correct me). LOVE, ACTUALLY is the big takeaway here. I already have it in digital format. I've never been a big fan of the movie, unlike everyone and their grandmother. I think I've seen it maybe once. The score is charming, for sure, but it needs some serious whittling/re-organization to work as a listening experience. The super short cues don't add much (and don't feel organic to the whole as a T. Newman score often does), so I'll add it to the long queue of whittling projects.

Jay 37,351 Posted November 26, 2021 Author Share Posted November 26, 2021 My thoughts Fiddler - instabuy Diary of Anne Frank - unfamiliar (never even seen the movie), will listen to samples Next Karate Kid - unfamiliar (never even seen the movie), will listen to samples Friday The 13th - I have seen all the old movies, and know I won't enjoy any of their scores outside of them Love Actually - Seen the movie and like it; Do not remember anything about it's original score. Will check out the album on Spotify Huge title #1 - can't wait to find out what this is Huge title #2 - can't wait to find out what this is I assume the batch was hoped to be Fiddler, Frank, Love Actually, and the two huge titles, and then Friday the 13th and Karate Kid were moved forward from January to now when it was clear the huge ones wouldn't be ready Once and Yavar Moradi 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
