Morlock 11 Posted March 11, 2008 Share Posted March 11, 2008 My hard-drive crashed and I lost my MP3 player....so all I've got is my old 1 gb one, on which I can't change the music I've got on it.....but I had some good stuff on it. So I've been listening to Hidalgo, The Blue Max, The Stepford Wives (Arnold's), The Taking of Pelham 1, 2, 3, and HP 1 & 3. I've got a couple of dozens of CDs waiting to be listened to, in addition to another dozen on the way....but I no longer have a discman.....pretty traumatic couple of weeks, musically speaking.

ST-321 4 Posted March 12, 2008 Share Posted March 12, 2008 Ok, so I just found and listened to the complete Star Trek the Motion Picture. Holy smokes is it fantastic!!

indy4 155 Posted March 12, 2008 Share Posted March 12, 2008 So, the 20th anniversary thing, is that the complete score? Or are you talking about some sort of bootleg? Because that's been a long term goal on my "To Buy" list for quite some time, is it really that great?The thing I'm talking about can be found here:http://www.amazon.com/Star-Trek-Picture-Va...9539&sr=8-4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trent B 337 Posted March 12, 2008 Share Posted March 12, 2008 The 20th Anniversary set is good to have only for the first disc since it has good sound quality for the unreleased material. I agree that the second disc was a wasted opportunity. Sony should have put all the music from the film (even if it didn't have alternates) onto both discs.Edit: and to answer again no the 20th Anniversary set is not complete, just expanded. There is a real full complete score for Star Trek The Motion Picture out there though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ollie 1,059 Posted March 12, 2008 Share Posted March 12, 2008 Marian is correct, that's part of the reason why the CD was delayed at the time. From what was told at the time Goldsmith approved in writing the cues he wanted or would allow. While I'm sure a majority of film score buffs have the "complete" version, a legit remastered version with alternates would be welcome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Giftheck 916 Posted March 13, 2008 Share Posted March 13, 2008 I've been listening to the score for Tomb Raider Anniversary lately. While it is synthesised, it is done quite well (better than the original) though there are missing moments that I liked from TR1 which aren't there anymore.

HPFAN_2 0 Posted March 14, 2008 Author Share Posted March 14, 2008 Not really a score, but i recently listened to Avner and Daphna from Munich. Somehow I passed this track over in the original listening. I LOVE THIS PEICE!!!! I love how he builds the melody with the clarinet then it explodes into a fully string movement. Then ends with a solo with a horn. Amazing. In itself it's a story. The melody goes through three acts in a single piece, it's such brilliant writing.

indy4 155 Posted March 17, 2008 Share Posted March 17, 2008 The Bourne Ultimatum: Eh, not bad. Some nice rythmns and motifs, I look forward to hearing this one more, as I think I'll be able to appreciate it more.Planet of the Apes (2000): Not so great. Apart from a nice main title piece and some great percussion in "The Hunt," this score has nothing really great. But then again, I don't like Goldsmith's version either.Conan the Barbarian is the only new one I have yet to hear.Also listened to Wallace and Gromit: The Curse of the Were-Rabbit: Fantastic, as always.

Incanus 5,713 Posted March 18, 2008 Share Posted March 18, 2008 Michael Kamen's concert work The New Moon in the Old Moon's Arms- Symphonic Poem and on the same album his wonderful Mr. Holland's Opus - An American Symphony. Beautiful work and I love the reworking of the Mr. Holland's Opus score for the Symphony, especially Movement IV, Rowena, is gorgeous.Yo Yo Ma Plays the Music of Ennio Morricone. Another superb album which has made me reconsider delving more deeply into Morricone's music as he is one of the greats whose music I have not listened to so much as I have aversion to his Western scores.
