Will, it is still June, but I'll post here anyway so you can all read my wonderful words of wisdom for a whole month:Just got, at the supermarket, amongst the fruit and veg, THE GREEN MILE (Thomas Newman). My first Tom CD! Have just put it on, though I still prefer to wear T-shirts. Not the best way to hear a score on first listen: I much prefer lying on the bed, but it's Friday and the board had to be seen.
Anyway, I like what I hear. Don't know how it'll all hang together over an hour and a quarter, but it's nice to hear real everyday instruments like the bowed travelling guitar and the Vietnamese banjo amongst things like the "tonut", the "drones" and the "saz".

Oh, that mouse music on track 4 is really like Goldsmith's Mrs Dingbat music from Gremlins! By the way, how can they get away with calling tracks "Billy-Be-Frigged" and "Shine My Knob"?

Don't remember if I posted these but here goes...1. Dinosaur (Howard---very good!)
2. A History of Horror (Silva-interesting, bought it because the store mispriced it for $13)
3. Waterworld (Howard)
4. Patriot (Williams)
5. Peyton Place (Waxman, Varese--this is wonderful!!!!!!)
6. Cheyenne Autumn (North, cut-out bin Label X...thought these were deleted) and if you live in the Dallas-Ft. Worth area, there were at least 3 others there along with "The Magnificent Ambersons"--which I picked up a few months ago.Looking forward to the Jaws reissue, Marnie, Coma/Logan's Run, and I might just break down and get that 2-disc Fried set at FSM--mostly for the Caligari score.

Re. The Green Mile. No, for me it wasn't meaty enough for the long running time, though I might change my mind after a few more listens.And of course the mouse music isn't at all like Goldsmith's Mrs Dingleberry theme from Gremlins: it's like the second part of the main titles (the establishing scene of the streets?), all jaunty plucked strings. I think.

Couldn't find The Patriot here (I think I shouldn't be angry; after all, I already have Jaws exp.
), so instead I picked up:- Presumed Innocent (Williams)
- Variations on a theme by Robert Schumann...err...Willow (Horner)
- Romeo & Juliet (Prokofiev; London Symphony Orchestra/André Previn) - The soundtrack CDs where not as expensive as usual, but this one is a 2CD set and cost less than the scores; Movie Music is really overpriced.

Well, I bought a LP (GSF 1006) of Breakheart Pass and did my first transfer to CD (I'm not willing to wait for Ryko's "maybe" CD)... It turned out good, except the record was only 28.5 minutes. Because of the short length, I feel like I should put a red spline on it.
I also just purchased the FSM "Rio Conchos." Hopefully later in the month I'll be able to pick up those new Goldsmith Chapter III releases, and at the end of the month, HOLLOW MAN!

Thanks for the comments, Shaun!
The record does sound pretty horrible. When listening to it, there is noticable hiss... I could hear the hiss start and stop at the begining/end of each cue, with complete silence in between. The overall sound "quality" of this album made me think I was listening to a 78rpm record

Another thing about the record that amused me was that the cue "Steam Rollin'" (and the "Main/End Title" theme) is included on the record twice. The second version of "Steam Rollin'" is quite similar, but about 20 seconds longer than the first...
My only problem with the bootleg is that I really don't want to spend a lot of money for this on the "collectors market," and I really don't have much of a collection to trade with others.

Come on Ryko, release this already!

The Perfect Storm; Horner: Haven't listened to it yet, but it's got a nice cover.Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves; Kamen: I'm very pleased with this one. Top stuff!
Memphis Belle; Fenton: Haven't heard it all yet, but what I have has impressed me.
Ricochet; Silvestri: I dunno, this one was just there and it was cheap, so I got it. Haven't listened to it yet, but (sarcastically) it's got an ICE-T song on it, so it must be good.
The Interview; Hirschfelder: This was a great film, and from what I remember, the score was good too, but I'll pop this on later.
Sphere; Goldenthal: I don't get what people have against this score, sure it may not be to everyone's taste, but it worked in the film. I think this CD is a gem, I love it.
Green Card; Zimmer: It said Hans Zimmer on the front.....so I bought it.

The Dead Again DVD arrived. This was the first Branagh movie I ever watched, and also the first Doyle score I noticed (I had seen Carlito's Way before, but didn't really notice it's score until I had gotten into Doyle's other work). I've never seen it since, but both movie and score impressed me enough to instantly start looking for more Branagh and Doyle works.NP: Willow - what did the London Symphony members SAY when they had to play the Schumann pieces!?

I always thought that Sussmayr's work more or less began after the Lachrymosa (forget the movement that follows), and that everything up to that point (Introit, Dies Irae, Tuba Mirum, Rext Tremendae, Confutatis, Lachrymosa) had been more or less fully written out by Mozart. I admit I haven't bought any of the several recent scholarly works on the Requiem, so I realize I could be wrong. In any case, I never thought of Sussmayr's work as "pillaging;" rather, I thought it a competent elaboration of fragmentary sketches. Maybe the scholarship says otherwise . . . Anyway, I find that with that Mozart work as with no other I have very varying reactions to different recordings. And that's not surprising: while it's a work of genius, it's an uneven work, with each movement reflecting a different atmosphere.
