Justin 2 Posted February 3, 2005 Share Posted February 3, 2005 I've been recently glancing through my JW collection (as if this is a strange occurrence) and I noticed a few oddities in it. For example I purchased the SW SE scores in backward order starting with ROTJ then ESB finishing with Star Wars. I also own the Far and Away Vol. 2 and yet don't have the OST. I own three different versions of the score to A.I. (A score that is not among my favorite) and yet I only have one version of Raiders of The Lost Ark. (My favorite score of all time.)Anybody else have these strange anomalies in there collections or is it just me?Justin - Who's collection is a freak of nature.

John Crichton 4 Posted February 3, 2005 Share Posted February 3, 2005 Well, I own a DVD rip of the complete Jurassic Park score that I got in a trade but don't own the OST. I also listen to very few pressed discs, almost everything I listen to is on CDR due to my constant tinkering (DVD extracts, film edits). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Breathmask 555 Posted February 3, 2005 Share Posted February 3, 2005 Oddities? Not that I can tell...Well, I still don't have Raiders. And the only Goldsmith I have is a bootleg. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jgraves 0 Posted February 3, 2005 Share Posted February 3, 2005 Some other trade anomolies I've run into:You know you've got too many CD's when:- you have to go look at your collection to make sure you have something (or don't)- you excitedly purchase a rare score in a store, only to realize when you get home you already own it- you pull a CD out you bought four months ago and it's still in plastic wrapI admit, these have all happened to me, and probably all in the last three months (the third with Fitzwilly this morning). Sad, but true!Jason Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Melange 446 Posted February 3, 2005 Share Posted February 3, 2005 Anybody else have these strange anomalies in there collections or is it just me?Well, whenever i open the jewel case of my E.T cd, a burning bush appears in the corner of my room. A slow loud voice booms "I AM...THAT I AM". Strange. Because everytime i close the case, it immediately stops. Yet, open it even an inch and there it goes again. It has got to the stage that i've surrounded the Cd with a shrine. Because obviously it's genius is beyond my comprehension. A relative tried to open it once, and they melted on the spot.Would that qualify as a Cd Collection Anomaly? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SturgisPodmore 0 Posted February 3, 2005 Share Posted February 3, 2005 I absolutlely love all of the JNH scores I have (Peter Pan, Signs, The Village, Hidalgo, Treasure Planet, and The Fugitive). Actually, I really don't like the Fugitive score that much. I bought it before I even knew who JNH was, and I hardly ever listen to it.Not really an oddity, but I never listen to my first JNH purchase, so...~Sturgis, who is asking for Waterworld and Dinosaur for his birthday Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Justin 2 Posted February 3, 2005 Author Share Posted February 3, 2005 The Fugitive is a great score. See the film. It works so well. Subtle and emotional.Justin - Who could easily say it's JNH's finest achievment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SturgisPodmore 0 Posted February 3, 2005 Share Posted February 3, 2005 I have seen the film, and love it. I guess I can't say I don't like the score; I just haven't listened to it a whole lot. I had my iPod on shuffle and I got a few action tracks from it, and I remember the main theme was pretty, but I don't remember much else. I'll have to listen to it. But I don't think it could beat out Peter Pan or Signs, which are my two favorite scores of his. (Though The Village is a very close second, with Hidalgo and Treasure Planet tying for third.)Of what I have.~Sturgis Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kendal_Ozzel 36 Posted February 4, 2005 Share Posted February 4, 2005 I don't own official pressings of TOD or Raiders. I've said it before: if I ever saw either one in a store, I'd gladly buy it.I also have 2 copies of Jurassic Park. I was at a used CD place that was going out of business and I saw one for a dollar and I couldn't pass it up for some reason. I guess I need to give it to one of my friends. (At that same sale, I saw 2 copies of Licence to Kill for $1 each but I passed them up. LTK didn't interest me much at the time. I later ended up paying about $8 for it on eBay.)

John McClane 1 Posted February 4, 2005 Share Posted February 4, 2005 I have the Japanese Temple of Doom, and I can't read the booklet. That's pretty weird.And I did the same as you Justin, but with the Indy scores. Last Crusade was the first (in 2000, my first JW score ever, bought with Jaws 25th Anniversary), then Temple of Doom in August 2004 and then Raiders in December 2004. I got it as a CD-R in a trade.

Saxbabe 28 Posted February 4, 2005 Share Posted February 4, 2005 Sturgis - you NEED to hear Waterworld! For action, it rocks the house. 8OI like The Fugitive a lot too. Super with the movie, the score was Oscar nominated in 1993. Another early 90s score I'm digging is Grand Canyon. Excellent gritty urban. Just saw that movie and it is awesome. His writing has changed considerably in the last ten years, though I like new and old.I really think JNH's finest work is Waterworld (from 1995) thus far. Just a knockout score, nice long OST, tour de force for brass! Well worth getting, I got it for Christmas and LOVE it. Signs is right up there too. It's genius. Then its hard to rank after that, I like many equally. Including CD-R's I have more JNH scores than I do JW. Since I started trading I have numerous oddities in my collection. I seem to have a surprising amount of vintage for several composers now, because many of those are hard to come by, so I look out for those I guess. Like I got an LP rip of "Not With my Wife, You Don't" recently, haven't listened to it yet. And the vintage thing has prompted E-Bay purchases that would have been quite strange to me a year ago. Like obscure non-score LP's that are collector's interest things, for my two favorites. Greta Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John McClane 1 Posted February 4, 2005 Share Posted February 4, 2005 I think the ToD page on Markus Hable's website translate all (or a part) of the OST booklet.

SturgisPodmore 0 Posted February 4, 2005 Share Posted February 4, 2005 I have heard some of Waterworld, Greta, and I really like it! I totally agre with you about Signs. It is such an amazing score, especially "The Hand of Fate-Parts 1 and 2." And especially Part 1. Such a powerful cue, with the low brass BLASTS and the references to "Main Titles." A great action track, and beautiful too. Part 2 is beautiful as well.~Sturgis Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And, this is the same guy who learned how to read and write Mandarin in a couple of months after coming from Indonesia (aswell as learning Russian as a side snack). So by now he should be perfect. At the moment he's travelling in Indonesia though. But if he's not busy when he gets back, i'll send some of them if you put scans onto this page. He might be able to help you with that.
