Author	Topic: Jones' "Loch Ness"

Lancelot Oscar® Winner	Just caught this movie on TV again, and reflected on the disappointment of no score release for this one--probably because the film was never released into the theaters as planned. Trevor Jones' music is the highlight of the film, and it incredibly beautiful. Agree, disagree? Was there ever a promotional release for this one, or is that too much to hope for?

pietari Oscar® Winner	Jones´ score is absolutely great, have to agree on that. Unfortunately there was no score release in any form, I don´t think even a bootleg exists. The main theme is available on a boot of Jones´ other themes NP-The Neverending Story 2 **/***

joan hue Oscar® Winner	I agree with you Lancelot. I just rented this film last week and adored the score. Now I read that it isn't available. Shucks! (I wonder... If I stood outside of Wal Mart, would people sign a petition to issue this CD? sigh..) NP Supergirl..my SIGNED copy thanks to Mark. Great listen.

Ed Coleman Oscar® Winner	Hey guys, I remember someone saying in an earlier thread back in February that Prometheus (Belgium) was considering a release for Loch Ness. However, nothing was official. Let's keep hoping. NP - Gladiator ***/***

Mark Hatfield Oscar® Winner	Opinions needed! Having never seen the movie, would you say that it is worth renting - or even owning? I am a great fan of Trevor Jones' work, but it would be very nice to know if the movie itself justifies a rental. Reviews, please! Thanks....and if you're worried about being off-topic, you cab e-mail me.... NP: THE BLUE MAX 5/5* perfect scoring for its movie & still a thrill to listen to.....

Kris Oscar® Winner	Great score indeed. There's a suite on Jones' boot from GI Jane. Ed, it was I that said something about Prometheus considering a release. I'll see if I can get some more info. I know the owner of Prometheus personnally. The problem with Loch Ness might be that they won't get out of production costs if they should ever release it. They do know that it's a great score. np Tin Cup (William Ross) **/***

John C Winfrey Oscar® Winner	I am sure that Jones' score for this is good, although I have not heard it. By the way, the '80s Loch Ness movie I saw was so bad. It was a big green balloon like in the Macy's Day Parade. Really lousy. It bent down and bit a guy on the shoulder and he was there screaming and this baloon was just sitting on his shoulder with lots of catsup squirting everywhere. Really funny. John.

joan hue Oscar® Winner	Hi Mark. Since this movie is several years old (1997?), you can probably rent it for less than $2.00, and it is worth it. Great movie? Nope, just average. But it is worth the rent to see the lovely scenery and listen to the great musical themes. I would rewind and listen to several themes when I rented it. Average movie heightened by a wonderful score. NP Supergirl, signed!

Mark Hatfield Oscar® Winner	Hi right back atcha, Joan...... Thanks for the capsule review. I'll try renting it when I return my current batch Thursday. I'm VERY glad that you're enjoying the SUPERGIRL that I got you. Does the signature improve the dynamic response any? You're welcome, you nice lady, you. NP: THE NEVERENDING STORY 4/5* Hey, whaddaya want from me? I love this thing!
