I've been thinking of getting this album since the first time I saw it (which was when it was release, I believe). Is it worth having even if I already have the original score recordings? NP: Star Trek: Generations (Dennis McCarthy)

Got a few in today that are usually not mentioned.The Snow Files: Music by Mark Snow. Compilation with a long suite from X Files. Has a 4 minute cue from In the Line of Duty: Smoke Jumpers. Such a great theme; begs for a full album, but the movie wasn't noticed. Komodo John Debney. Some fine themes, but certain tracks are too scary to listen to..at least for me. Nurse Betty Rolfe Kent. Great main melody. NP Komodo

Four more of the fourteen incoming:Powaqqatsi, Glass
Emperor's New Groove, Debney
Bram Stoker's Dracula, Kilar
A Little Princess, Doyle NP: Emperor's New Groove, Debney - Kinda silly, cartoony music. There is a rather fun, jazzy theme though, that breaks in in a couple of places. Also, the mickey-mousey action music is fun. You can tell Debney had a good time scoring this. I give it ***½

Interestingly, while I'm quite sure the US version of the song album has the same cover as the DVD, the German prints both have the same cover (the one used by the US score release). I made sure to get the score, of course.

Just in, THE HAUNTED PALACE/ PREMATURE BURIAL (Ronald Stein).You'll love this if you appreciate the Gerald Fried horror scores released by FSM or the dissonant Hammer scores on the GDI label: I'm so happy to own those great Ronald Stein gems, partly because it's a great nostalgia trip but also because it's fine music! Maybe a little bit horrorificaly unsubtle for modern tastes though... Intriguing bit in the liner notes: apparently the Main Title of The Haunted Palace "mysteriously found its way into the title theme of one of the mid-1980's most notorious mega-budgeted science fiction epics." What could that BE?! I'd love to say "NP: The Haunted Palace", but I tried it whilst looking at the board and couldn't get my thoughts together. Couldn't/ can't be in two places at once! (In fact I NEVER listen to music whilst on the board, but I thought I'd try it, seeing as it's Friday. Didn't work!)

Unbreakable - JNHDante, are you talking about the Arnold Schwarzenegger film? Isn't the score by Silvestri, not Goldsmith?
Or is this a rejected score or different film?

Ernest Gold was big in the sixties, and I believe the EXODUS theme was his biggest hit. Other major titles include ON THE BEACH, JUDGEMENT AT NUREMBERG, IT'S A MAD MAD MAD MAD WORLD, and INHERIT THE WIND. He never scored as many films as some of his contemporaries, winding down in the seventies -- his last major film was Peckinpah's CROSS OF IRON -- barely working in the eighties, usually in TV, and not at all in the nineties. He died in March 1999 of a stroke.Gold was the one who referred Jerry Goldsmith to EXODUS director Otto Preminger for IN HARM'S WAY. Goldsmith ran into Gold in the wake of that score and said "I don't know whether to thank you or PUNCH you for recommending me to Preminger!" To which Gold cheerily responded, "Come on, you'll be dining out for YEARS on all your Otto stories!" Checking out his filmography, I was surprised to note Gold scored episodes of HAWAII 5-0. That wasn't his idiom at all. Did he need the work that badly? I doubt it ... if so, he'd have overdosed on television and TV movies in the seventies (well, nearly all his contemporaries did, from Goldsmith to Schifrin.) Seems to me he preferred to work at a leisurely pace, project-wise. Perhaps 5-0 was a favor to someone. Oh well, end of digression.
