Just spotted this at Varese:THE SCORE
Original Motion Picture SoundtrackMusic Composed by Howard Shore
Robert DeNiro ... Edward Norton ... Angela Bassett and Marlon BrandoCareer 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.

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

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!
