    Just spotted this at Varese:

    THE SCORE
    Original Motion Picture Soundtrack

    Music Composed by Howard Shore

    Robert DeNiro ... Edward Norton ... Angela Bassett and Marlon Brando

    Career thief Nick Wells (Robert De Niro) is about to mastermind a nearly impossible theft that will require his joining forces with a clever young accomplice (Edward Norton). The unlikely alliance arranged by Nick's longtime friend and fence, Max (Marlon Brando, in an Oscar-calibre performance), interrupts Nick's plans to retire from crime and settle down with his fiancée Diane (Angela Bassett). Worse — it requires that Nick violate his most important rule: Always work alone. Oscar winners De Niro and Brando, two of the most acclaimed actors in film history, team up with Academy Award nominees Norton and Bassett for The Score, a thrilling crime story from director Frank Oz. In the film, De Niro's character owns a Montreal jazz club. To reflect this, composer Howard Shore has fashioned a cool and gritty musical portrait of Wells' crime underworld. Howard Shore is now at work on the enormous production of The Lord of the Rings.

    Release Date: 7/10/01

    Yeah, saw that too.

    Don't know what to expect really. I don't own a single Howard Shore score...yet.

    I noticed another item on their "Upcoming Releases" page...

    quote:

    Featuring 4 new songs from Olivia Newton-John and a score by George S. Clinton.

    Bonus: contains dialogue from the film



    What a bonus, eh?

    Well I expect "THE SCORE", to be a jazzy score probably a cross between Analyze This and something as dark as The Yards. Howard Shore deserves a lot more recognition than he usually gets. I highly recommend these scores to you guys:

    Videodrome
    Naked Lunch
    Philadelphia
    Silence of the Lambs
    The Fly
    M.Butterfly
    The Cell
    Seven
    The Game
    The Yards
    Dead Ringers
    Big

    Hmm... I must be getting old... I DO have one Howard Shore score. I have "Videodrome" and it's the worst score I own...

    Videodrome is really cool. Love those early synths by Shore realized on that Synclavier II synthesizer and it matches up perfectly with the film. I honestly wish there was an expanded album for it cause there's a lot more music missing from it and a true director's cut of the film would definetly be great. It deserves it!
