I should also be getting in the next week,

Total Recall (Deluxe) - Jerry Goldsmith
Unbreakable - James Newton Howard
Vertical Limit - James Newton Howard
Medal of Honor: Underground - Michael Giacchino

saw these today for 5 bucks new and you just have to get when they're that cheap:

Return of the Magnificent Seven, Elmer
The Knack and How to Get It, John Barry
The Great Escape, Elmer

and the most pleasant discovery I have ever made:

a cassette, sadly a cassette not a CD, of Philippe Sarde's The Bear.

absolutely stunning work.

there were also cassettes of
The Marrying Man, David Newman &
The Beast, Mark Isham

thought about getting them, but wasn't sure.
I need to buy a tape player with a line out on it, so I can transfer to CDR.

• Stagecoach & The Loner (I can't go any longer without having The Loner's theme in my collection!)
  
• The Poseidon Adventure/etc. (I guess I'd better get this one before it's sold out.)
  

I'll be amazed if I get them, since I never received a confirmation email...

NP: Blue Max

The Egyptian, Newman/ Herrmann
The Quick and the Dead, Silvestri
Willow, Horner
High Spirits, Fenton

Total Recall Deluxe, also graces my collection now.

• LIFEFORCE (Mancini). Weird. Don't go near the movie, whatever you do.
  
• WARRIORS OF VIRTUE (Davis). Again: shite movie, kick-ass score.
  
• THE SEA HAWK (Korngold). Yessss! Couldn't get my hands on this for ages, but boy does it feel good listening to this. One of the very best.

Actually, according to James Southall, it is. Supposedly "Varèse Sarabande" will be releasing it next month, in a similar way they had released Ottman's Cruel Intentions album, last month. Anyway, here is what he had to say, for those interested!

quote:

---

Varèse are releasing a soundtrack for "Castaway" which will also feature Alan Silvestri themes from previous Robert Zemeckis films. Released 30 January 2001.

Sounds good to me! I have been looking forward to this score. And was disappointed to hear, it was of such short length. In this case, some is definitely better than none, right?

Sean Robert Abbey

actually, I made that statement a couple days before it was announced there was going to be a release.

Total Recall: Deluxe
U.S. Marshals
Executive Decision
Deep Rising
Ghost and the Darkness

In addition to those:

1. Chicken Run
2. The Piano
3. Legend of 1900
4. Romeo + Juliet

Can you guys recommend either 2 that I should get first?

Thanks

but I hear Chicken Run is a fabulously entertaining listen.

The Piano should be obtained for the solo piano pieces Nyman composed. The orchestral and string pieces that make up the score tend to get very tiresome after a while.

no clue on Romeo + Juliet

Nausicaa - Hisaishi
Works: II - Hisaishi
Best Selection - Hisaishi

Alas, Supercollector informs me that they are out of Amanda, but will ship it to me as soon as they can.

NP: Nausicaa, Hisaishi: This is the first Hisaishi CD I've been less than impressed by. The theme is good, but there are rather poor synths, two annoying e-guitar tracks (where the heck did THAT come from?) and and the solo boy soprano who sings the "la la la" tracks on the score seems to have trouble hitting the notes correctly. In the end, I think all the best parts of this score were included in the suite on Works: I, and the proformance on that CD is quite superior. Still, I can't really dislike Nausciaa. Despite the faults I listed, there is some good material here. It's just that it can be found, and a bit better, elsewhere. ***

Chicken Run is great!

NP -- What Planet Are You From?, Carter Burwell

But of course, mine was before I knew it was widely known info! Just clarifying is all!

So, how is Silvestri's The Quick and the Dead? I have been thinking of getting it, is it worth acquiring?

Regards,
Sean Robert Abbey

Get CHICKEN RUN and LEGEND OF 1900 first.

The two couldn't be more different, thematically or in their realization, if they tried. They are also incredibly good scores that play very well seperated from their movies.

LEGEND OF 1900 deserved an Academy Nomination last year.

CHICKEN RUN deserves an Academy nomination this year.

Get them both, man.

Sounds cool! I'll see about picking it up next time I go CD shopping. Thanks.

The Road To El Dorado DVD
Thirteen Days, Trevor Jones
I WANTED to get Vertical Limit, but I went to Best Buy and they didn't have one. I asked about it, and the guy says "yeah, it came in today, should be in stock." He walks off, looks around, eventually comes back with somebody else. She says "Oh, we only got one copy in." I'm like, "Why would you order just one of ANYTHING? I mean, it's the only number of anything you DON'T want to have! I can see you ordering zero, if you don't think it will sell, or maybe ordering three because you think you'll sell a couple, but one? If you're going to sell ONE, in the first twelve hours it's on the shelf no less, odds are you'll sell more!" By this point they're both giving me this sort of pained look. I calm down a bit and ask if they'll be getting more. She says "oh, it might not have been sold. If it was stolen, the computer won't know. And even if it was sold, the computer won't register it until tomorrow, and then it'l order more." "You mean ONE more, right?" I ask. She doesn't know, but says "it'll be in in a couple of days. Well, maybe a week."
Forget that. I'll find my 3-dollar-off coupon and get it from MusicLand tomorrow.

Plus, I finally got a DVD player. With both Galaxy Quest and Transformers: The Movie. All in all, rather cool. It's definitely a format I hope to get much out of!

Dark City, Trevor Jones. Loved it in the film, and now I finally have it on CD! ****

The Lost Child - Mark McKenzie

Plus another DVD,

The Mummy (With Isolated Score)

Anyway, in the last month or so I've gotten...

The Dish - Edmund Choi
VERY similar to Apollo 13 but very nice on the whole. It's ashame the score portion of this album is only 22mins.

Chicken Run - Gregson-Williams/Powell
I loved this film, and the score is a lot of fun too. Some really nice tracks IMHO, especially "Up on the Roof".

Get Carter - Roy Budd
I bought this CD because I liked the packaging. However, the music is brilliant!
