delighted by what I saw in the store today!a veritable treasure trove of European import classical stuff for extremely cheap prices. For example, I just got a brand spanking new 3CD performance of the JS Bach St Matthew Passion, previously beyond my fiscal reach. Marvellously conducted by Philippe Herreweghe. Also picked up Shostakovich's Symphony No. 14. NP -- St Matthew Passion.

Well, I have spent quite some money again in November. But - what should I say - every score was worht its money:Police Story (Goldsmith, as I haven't known him before!!) The Omega Man (Grainer; more or less monothematic but very enjoyable; I've waited for this one for more than a decade!!!) Take A hard Ride (Goldsmith) 100 Rifles (Goldsmith) - since I am a huge Goldsmith-fan I had to get these... "Lokk! There ain't no more damn guns!" The Poseidon Adventure (Williams; features music from Conrack and The Paper Chase) Really, I AM happy with these - highly recommendable! Floyd.

Well, I went Amarillo since I forgot to transfer my voter registration, so I came down to vote, and did some worthwhile CD shopping.I found: Red Planet, revell Legend of Baggy Pants, Portman City Slickers 2, Shaiman Battle of Britain, Goodwin/ Walton Anywhere But Here, Elfman Rounders, Young all for $8.98/ all of them new, still sealed there was also yet another copy of John Barry's Specialist score, sealed. For something that is supposed to be so rare, it sure seems to pop up a lot in West Texas. As an added bonus, I found a new cassette copy of Randy Newman's Awakenings score. Marvellous! Too bad I can't find the CD of it. NP -- The Legend of Baggy Pants

Any other tracks on it that are not on the U.S. relase, score tracks I mean? I like Randy Newman's songs, but I'm sure I can do without the German versions.  Myself, I picked up The Doors Concerto. I was sceptical at first when I saw TV commercials about this, but when I heard it in the store, I had to get it. Great CD. And, the Jurassic Park DVD arrived after at least 3 weeks of shipping. NP: Captain Blood (Erich Wolfgang Korngold; Brandenburg Philharmonic Orchestra Podsdam, Richard Kaufman)

Finally - Magnolia. Loving every minute of it - and I still haven't reached 'So Now Then'!Marian - Nope, the score is exactly the same as the US release - but I can't tell you what it's like becuase with all the scores I got in the last 2 days I haven't heard it yet. Then again, I just re-read your question, and you probably have it, so you know what it's like  NP - Magnolia - Brion

Yeah, I have it. And I think it's wonderful comedy score. DVD Box Office shipped the DVDs last week, I hope they don't need as long to get here as the Jurassic Park disc.

My Amazon.de order arrived, all Goldsmith:
- Under Fire
- Twilight Zone - The Movie
- Rambo 3
- City Hall
I was going to ask if City Hall has liner notes, because as the inside of my book, Varese accidentally included their mini-catalogue, the one which is usually included in the jewel case, but not as part of the booklet. But the case wasn't sealed anyway, and the disc is so scratched that several tracks won't play correctly, so Amazon will have to exchange the disc. NP: City Hall (Jerry Goldsmith) (Well, parts of it, at least... ) NP: Under Fire (Jerry Goldsmith) (when editing the message) [Message edited by Marian Schedenig on 11-09-2000]

BMikeJ, Yes, indeed it is... I have been playing this CD a lot since it arrived on Monday. I bought it because I'm such a big fan of John Scott and he has delivered yet another beautiful and inspiring score for us to enjoy. Regards, _Sc P.S. I would like to see the movie too!

Works: I - More excellent work by Joe Hisaishi. I am now even more convinced that I made the right choice in ordering five other Hisaishi CDs from Supercollector. I just hope they get here fast; I might wear out the Hisaishi discs I have waiting for them.  NP: Works: I Hisaishi

Rambo 3 is just playing over my headphones, and while track 4 is too early to "judge" the score, I now know what all of you meant by "bad performance". I have really no problem with the performance of the Hungarians on the Lionheart disc (yeah, it doesn't sound as powerful as a NSO recording, but still good, in my ears), but that wonderful percussion passage in "Preparations" really does sound odd....and not only did I not have to wait so long between the Rambo scores, I also got all the extended versions right away.

Got these today:Laputa: Castle In The Sky - Hisashi Laputa: Castle In The Sky Symphony Album - Hisaishi My Neighbor Totoro - Hisaishi Kiki's Delivery Service - Hisaishi Into Thin Air: Death On Everst - Holdridge Unfortunately (or fotunately, depending on how you look at it, cause I didn't really have the money anyway) Supercollector cancled Nausicaa: Valley Of The Winds. Guess I'll have to pick that up next time I order from them.. like when the Amanda LE comes out. In the meantime, I'm tapped out, so I doubt I'll be getting much else anytime soon, unless it's via trading. NP: Medicine Man, Goldsmith. (I would be playing one of my new CDs, but this was already in the player when the mail came, so I'll let it finish.) [Message edited by John Dunham on 11-13-2000]

Angela's Ashes (John Williams)Got this from the book club. If I don't get something every month I lose my discount. Anyway, last month there were two CDs in the catalogue: Julio Iglesias's greatest hits and Angela's Ashes. So I got Julio Iglesias. No I didn't. But I didn't know which Angela I was getting (the musicky one or the speaky one). It was the musicky one. Nice pictures in the booklet (I wish I could take pictures like that). And John Williams is the greatest composer ever (even though I'll have to give this a few more listens: Stepmom was nondescript for me at first, and now it's a total joy).
