Author	Topic: What's New In Your Collection - February 2004?

Graham Watt Standard Userer	THE PRISONER - FILE 2 (Ron Grainer, Albert Elms, plus library cues) My brother was out shopping for vegetabes, and he found this amongst the carrots. As it was cheaper than the carrots themselves, he got a copy for himself, and another for me. One pound. He spent more on postage. This is one of those CDs that's a great souvenir, even if some of the tracks are annoying. What a great series that was, with an incredibly intelligent and ironic use of music. All reflected in this hugely enjoyable Silva CD.

scoreguy16 Standard Userer	Veronica Guerin... That's about it. It's a pretty good score. Some parts sound like The Thin Red Line reorchestrated. To bad the notes on the inside give away the ending of the movie (I hadn't seen it before I bought it) Clayton

justin boggan Standard Userer	Danger Man score CD. BMG records. This was a "take a chance because the show stared Patrcik McGoohan" thing, but it really wasn't worth it. And sicne I can't talk about boots, all I will say about the other title is that it has Michael McCuistion, Lolita Ritmanis and Shirley Walker on it and I was listening to it at Knight. It is a Super CD. Quite an Adventure. :-)

Ed Standard Userer	I picked up TRINITY AND BEYOND. It's a remaster of an older release, but I missed it the first time around. Surprisingly good, actually. Sounds like a big sci-fi action film rather than a documentary. Some CONAN and BRAM STOKER'S DRACULA influences here and there.

Dinko Standard Userer	Mussorgsky: Pictures at an Exhibition/Boris Godunov/Night on Bare Mountain (all arr. Stokowski) The Cleveland Orchestra / Oliver Knussen Glorious! Splendid! Superb! Fantastic! Anyone with an interest in film scores would like this if they ever heard it. (and it cost me 15$ too. Not 150$ )

Marian Schedenig Standard Userer	Picked up two Glass CDs last week: dancepieces - Quite good, though I'm a bit disappointed that it's kind of a compilation; I already had the two Glassworks pieces. The Hours - Finally down to 10 euros, and I'm glad I didn't pick it up before for the usual price of 18. I'm also glad to finally have it though. Very good score, and the final track is nothing short of amazing. NP: The Great Train Robbery (Jerry Goldsmith)

HadrianD Standard Userer	It's been a big month for me Anime Stuff Full Metal Panic OST - Toshihiko Sahashi (same composer behind Big O, provide another good score for a big Robo series) Tenchi Muyo 2: Daughter Of Darkness OST - Ko Otani (good score, w/one track seemingly like HZ doing the Omen) You're Under Arrest OVA OST - Ko Otani (good like usual) Haibane Renmei OST - Ko Otani (quite angelic and beautiful, recommended) Jin-Roh OST - Hajime Mizoguchi (he worked with Yoko Kanno on some of her previous score, quite good) Movie stuff Drumline - John Powell (it's quite good, Varese could have released a nice 30 minute of this promo and gained some money) Basic - Klaus Badelt and Ramin Djawadi (as good as Equilibrium, but with less filler material)

franz_conrad Standard Userer	1. Beyond Borders (Horner) - refreshing new turn for Horner. The ethnicity of the Cambodia and Chechnya segments could have been a wee-bit more clearly defined, but I really liked it as it was. 2. The Missing (Horner) - I hadn't planned to buy this one for a while, but found it was a surprise gift on the 14/2... oh well, maybe I'll have to revise my acerbic notes on marital status at my profile if this is the fruit of romance. This is really good. Really good. I've been having a great week listening to this. 3. Tess / The Tennant (Sarde) - I don't know Sarde well, and this is really I come in as a collector. It's interesting stuff - not what I expected. 'Tess' is like a lesser 'Age of Innocence' (Bernstein), while 'The Tennant' has that beautifully defined dialogue between glass harmonica and clarinet. An interesting anecdote is that I heard the Tess 'Finale' for the first time as I walked through the infamous block in Redfern, Sydney the morning the smoke was clearing from the riots people have probably seen on BBC. Juxtaposition indeed. 4. Big Fish (Elfman) - Something about this causes me to like it above even 'Edward Scissorhands', 'Black Beauty' and the 'Batman' scores. Definitely an understated (and underrated) masterpiece. I know who I want the Oscar to go to - and people probably know I admire Howard Shore as much if not more than the next fan. 5. Cold Mountain (Yared) - the sampling on the disc confirms what I thought while seeing the film: This is not Yared's big war film after all. Instead it seems the Weinstein/Minghella collaboration managed to again crowd Yared out of a full score, or even a full score CD. I definitely like what I hear, and if an Oscar win was needed to bring about a complete score release of this one, I wouldn't be dismayed excessively. 6. Cutthroat Island (Debney) - this is the kind of thing I should have heard in Pirates of the Caribbean! It's repetitive, plays second-fiddle to Hook among modern swashbuckler scores, and the orchestrators seem to have considered one setting as fit for all cues, but wow, what a theme! What a finale! 7. Talk to Her (Iglesias) - not as good as Iglesias' Dancer Upstairs, but a tad more optimistic, this one waltzes in and out of my player every now and then. 8. Intolerable Cruelty (Burwell) - where is the music from Baron Krauss von Espy's testimony? Give me that and I'll call the brief score snippets here the comedy score of the year. (And I don't go much for comedy scores at all.)

Graham Watt Standard Userer	There was a man with a wheelbarrow full of cabbages outside my house the other day, so I went out to buy one. Imagine my surprise when I saw the CDs he was selling for 50p! They were partially covered by rotting veg, so I didn't see them at first, but I got - BATMAN (Danny Elfman)- Not bad for 50p. I have the LP, but for this price I couldn't help but update it. Still strikes me as being rather irritating in its hecticness, but good enough. SUMMER OF 42/ PICASSO SUMMER (Michel Legrand)- Two tracks from SUMMER OF 42 plus arrangements from the other less famous film. I like Michel Legrand, and this was a bargain for the price of a lettuce leaf. Then, after all that cheapo miser nonsense, the postman came from FSM with - SOYLENT GREEN/ DEMON SEED (Fred Myrow/ Jerry Fielding) - Had a quick listen earlier. The Myrow is very intriguing, I'm very happy with it (and I was going in blind, or deaf, to that one). The Fielding score is very abstract, but I got this for the orchestral rewrites of the impregnation scene. Superb (and the more difficult music will grow on me. It's Fielding). BETWEEN HEAVEN AND HELL/ SOLDIER OF FORTUNE Hugo Friedhofer) - Haven't had much of a chance to aurally scrotumize it yet, but I love Friedhofer. Sounds quite dark, but intriguing (and when he does a melody, it's typically glorious).

rkeaveney Standard Userer	You know you're going to have to come up with a list like that every month now, Ryan! When you're as connected as I am (whatever!), the ultra-rare and obscure stuff will continue to roll in. Just today I received a limited edition Japanese import containing jazz interpretations of Elliot Goldenthal's SPHERE. Out of sight! Ryan

Dinko Standard Userer	Duel... by... uhm... Duel (how original) Nice classical/filmmusik crossover poop from a violin duet "discovered" in Manchester by 1980's hi-NRG producer Pete Waterman, featuring music by Sakamoto (Merry XMas Mr. Lawrence) & Morricone (Chi Mai). CD comes with a fanclub reply card with an advertisement for the official Duel ringtone (!) and a bunch of questions including the following: quote: 4. What type of music would you like to hear DUEL perform in the future? (tick box): [] More classical music [] more film and TV themes Crossover rulez. It bringa filmmuziek and pop musik and classical music and all together and it makes an omelet which is easy to eat and full of bad cholesterol.

Graham Watt Standard Userer	This time I went for beans, baked beans. Nestling amongst those gorgeos blue-green tins were a few real cheapo CDs I thought I'd take a chance on (though I'd never have bought them full price) - haven't had a chance to put them through the aural scrote-mangler yet, but first impressions are - LAND AND FREEDOM (George Fenton) - Elegant, but very discreet. COLOR OF NIGHT (Dominic Frontiere) - A far cry from his OUTER LIMITS days of glory. Very cheesy, and a third of it is songs. HIGHLANDER compilation (Michael Kamen, Stewart Copeland, J. Peter Robinson) - sounds quite promising. I knew the Kamen, and some of it's excellent. Didn't know the Copeland (I don't like much of his film work, though The Police did some good songs). This sounds better than I expected. The JP Robinson might be the surprise here - I really liked the bits I heard. Will put my scrotum through the mangler over the next few days and form a real opinion.
