well, anything with his name on it really ... if you go after the terrific URBAN LEGEND, remember that there are two versions, the Milan issue (wasn't it Milan?) with a shorter rendition of the score and some songs, and the longer promo version Young produced which was released through Intrada (wasn't it Intrada? well, whoever.)

I think Intrada still has NORMA JEAN & MARILYN available for very little money ... very sweet, laid-back tunes.

If you're into much crazier stuff, they might still have cheap copies of THE VAGRANT available. Very post-modern, lunatic writing -- you'll never hear anything else quite like it. That much, I can promise you.

Murder in the First is excellent, and I had a hard time finding that one, too.

The Big Kahuna A jazzy, swinging and dramatic score. Although it's short but it's fun nonetheless.

Unforgettable A really underrated score and movie. Very dramatic and exciting.

Tales From the Hood Ohhhh!!!! a nice horror masterpiece and the movie is fun as well.

Murder At 1600 A thrilling action score that deserved a legal release.

Murder In The First A suprisingly, dramatic score that made you wonder why this guy hadn't gotten bigger projects at the time.

Rounders A moody, and dramatic score that is surprising breath of fresh air. And definetly one that gets repeated listens on my player.

Set It Off A solid, action score that has been overlooked. Varese didn't.

The Man Who Knew Too Little A terrific comedy score (his first) with Goldsmith-esque In Like Flint and Mancini's Pink Panther thrown in too boot. Fun, fun, fun.

Hard Rain (I still call it The Flood, it's a better title) Very exciting action score, worth getting for the right price. Go to Chris Young site because there's a funny story concerning this score.

The Vagrant Definetly, the wackiest and most off the wall score I've ever heard. Toys and odd instrumentation galore.

And let's not forget his upcoming score to Bless the Child which is being released on GNP Cresendo on August 8. which should be a killer score.

As for the score, I have wanted to get this CD for about 2 years or so. You can read the thread "Soundtrack Buying?" for why I hadn't until just now. Either way, I just found out it had gone OOP. Of course this being an Milan title.

I was searching practically everywhere for an few weeks without any luck. Luckily right when I was about to give up, I had found one online store that had 1 copy left. Talk about cutting it close.

I liked the movie, but I don't remember the music...

I have not seen the movie, and I will just say that I am not too fond of the Rapid Fire score in its present release.

Tell us what you think of HARD RAIN when it comes in. It's one of his more conventional scores, but it's also a VERY good one, certainly among the finest action scores of its year (1998). (actually it was ready well before that, and you can still see trailers on rental tapes calling the movie THE FLOOD, but for some reason the studio decided to sit on it for a LONG time, and then retitle it. It's not a terrible picture, I think they just weren't sure how to market it.)

Well, now that I have received and listened to Hard Rain, I can see what you all are talking about!

I loved the score, maybe it's just me, but I love scores that use rock, jazz and R&B instruments with the orchestra. The harmonicas were darn cool IMO.

I must admit, it was not quite what I remembered from the film. While some of it brought the images from the film to mind. All in all, an excellent score. And good enough that I almost went and purchased more of his work today. However, with no cash in my wallet, it isn't a good thing.

I noticed some of the scores you all mentioned are still available, so I will try to pick up as many as possible, as soon as possible.

In the meantime, I was wondering if anyone could help me with CD-R' of Species and Virtuosity?

I, personally, favor his harder-to-find works, like:

TALES FROM THE HOOD
VIRTUOSITY
SPECIES
HUSH
MURDER AT 1600
URBAN LEGEND

I definitely am! Could you send me an copy when you send Robo Aleste? Thanks.

hey, email me the URL for the Robo Aleste again. Once I get 'em downloaded, it'll be no problem to burn.
I lost the email, in the midst of other burning duties/ computer spring cleaning, etc..

BTW, when is Wonder Boys coming out?

Thanks.

IIRC, I think the last release date I saw for it, was sometime late August. Hopefully that is true, since how long can we wait before we start rioting.

It was released by SILVA SCREEN UK,I thnk they still have a few copies kicking around, as well as the English editon of HELLRAISER.

If your interested go to:

I'd also suggest you try and find his score for "Flowers in the Attic", it was released by INTRADA and they might still have a few copies laying arond.
