You can make that, 5 for The Mummy Returns and 3 for Aliens. Once they arrive that is.

But you said above that you already have Mummy Returns? That's one of the 4 I counted.

I'll probably get both, too, but not at once - orders from MM.com and Express.com are incoming, and I shouldn't throw out all my money at once.

2) The Tailor of Panama (Shaun Davey)

3) Left Behind (James Covell)

4) Mulan (complete) (JG)

Well, I started out writing what my current order is, that was just shipped out. Though, I didn't put in the details.

Anyway, the copy of The Mummy Returns I got yesterday, was a review copy that Decca sent me. The others are those that I had pre-ordered. And in fact just came in later this evening.

Well, what do you think? Was it worth it? (And isn't Black Escaflowne a great track? I can't get enough of that one. )
Final Q: have you played this on a good sound system? The bass really comes through with good speakers.

I think the whole album is great. Though, my favorite is the "First Vision" cue. I also like "Black Escaflowne", "Dance of Curse II", "Into Gaia" and "We're Flying". In fact, all of the tracks! Even the songs!

As for a good sound system, I am afraid not. As of now I only use a portable discman with headphones. It did sound great though.

Some used stuff:

To come:
1492: Conquest of Paradise 2CD (Vangelis)
A Bug's Life 2CD complete (Newman)
All About My Mother (Iglesias)
Desperately Seeking Susan (Newman)
Dinosaur complete 2CD (Newton Howard)
Enemy Mine (Maurice Jarre)
Grand Canyon (Newton Howard)
Predator 2 (Silvestri)

NP: The Red Violin

Rising Sun, Takemitsu
Topsy-Turvy, music adapted by Carl Davis
Lawrence of Arabia, Maurice Jarre, some LP remastering done on the Castle Rrecords label? Kinda bad sound, but I guess that's how it was recorded...oh well, no skin off my nose

New: The Mummy
Spy kids

• Dmitri Shostakovich: Symphony #5 (Live) / Chamber Symphony (Vienna Philharmonic, Mariss Jansons) - I attended the rehearsal for #5 back in 1997, and taped the "real" performance from the radio. I've always been waiting for a CD release, and yesterday I saw that there actually is one.
  
• Sergei Prokofiev: Ivan the Terrible (Philharmonia Orchestra, Riccardo Muti), Alexander Nevsky; Sergei Rachmaninov: The Bells (London Symphony Orchestra, André Previn) - I recently borrowed this very Ivan from the library, but it was too scratched to make a CDR copy. Also, there's extra stuff on this 2CD set
  
• Antonín Dvorák: Slavonic Dances (Symphonieorchester des Bayerischen Rundfunks, Rafael Kubelik) - Also recently borrowed from the library, also too scratched to copy. Plus, this is the remastered "Deutsche Grammophon Originals" release

• Evangelion Collection 0:1 DVD
  
• Evangelion Collection 0:2 DVD
  
• Evangelion Collection 0:4 DVD
  
• Evangelion Collection 0:5 DVD
  
• Evangelion Collection 0:6 DVD
  
• Escaflowne 2: Betrayal And Trust DVD
  
• Patlabor 1 DVD

I should also mention I got a sore back from sleeping on a damned air mattress.

John Barry/The Collection - 40 years
The Beast (Don Davis)
Young Hercules (Joe LoDuca)

Cry the Beloved Country - Barry
Bad Girls - Goldsmith
Emma - Portman
U-Turn - Morricone

Getting tomorrow, as a reward for studying like mad last night:

• Escaflowne 6: Fate And Fortune DVD

The Mummy Returns,
Aliens Deluxe Edition,
Dolores Claiborne,
Hearts of Darkness,
& should have on the way:
Congo.

Patlabor 2 DVD

Crocodile Dundee in Los Angeles (Basil Poledouris) - Not too bad, but not the typical Poledouris music one usually gets with his albums. However, there is some nice variety within in comparison to much of his recent work.

NP: The Mummy Returns (Alan Silvestri) - Well, I finally saw the film. Much better than I expected. Too bad some of the finale music is not on this album. Being, almost completely drawn out by SFX within the film though. It is hard to hear what I am missing.

Sean Robert Abbey

NP -- Deep Rising, Goldsmith; this seems like a seriously underrated score to me. Gotta love it, although the album IIRC is a fraction of what was in the film

I agree. I just wish there was more of that Carribean stuff on that last track, or whatever you could call it.

Now that I have listened to this score more, I have to say, Black Escaflowne is now my favorite as well. Must be because of the Duel of the Fates vibe it has going on!

SPHINX (Michael J Lewis, promo)
THE FLIM-FLAM MAN / A GIRL NAMED SOONER (Jerry Goldsmith)
THE PAPER CHASE / THE POSEIDON ADVENTURE (John Williams)
THE WIND AND THE LION (Jerry Goldsmith)
