I haven't bought anything in a while now purposely, I've got almost 30 unplayed albums I want to familierise myself with before buying anything else, this is not easy as I really want AI and Final Fantasy but so far I've been strong!

• Devli's Advocate (James Newton Howard) - My second JNH score
  
• 2001: A Space Odyssey (DVD, Special Edition) - Finally!

Cousteau: The First 75 Years/The Warm Blooded Sea Absolutely fantastic music, beginning to end.

Cousteau/Amazon Part 2. The Indians Another totally excellent score(s), 3 actually.

Cape Horn/Channel Islands The Channel Islands score has some of the most beautiful music I've ever heard.

Parc Oceanique Cousteau The first track of this one is awesome. I'm less enthusiastic regarding most of the other tracks compared to the first 3 Cousteau scores mentioned.

CD Of The Month for July is a score I've been wanting for ages and now I have, despite its commission for a frankly dodgy movie. It's the score that first fuelled my interest in soundtracks, particularly the climactic action cues and the amazing end title music. Michael J Lewis' absolutely stuning THE MEDUSA TOUCH.

• Jurassic Park III (Don Davis) - Finally, and surprisingly cheap, too ($11.4, usual soundtrack price is $14, but many recent releases are $19). Sounds good so far, and the Randy Newman song is quite nice, too.
  
• What Lies Beneath (DVD) - I wasn't completely satisfied after seeing it in the theater (very thrilling, but the story got too stupid towards the end), but still liked it because of the atmosphere and direction. Sadly, it's not nearly as exciting anymore when you watch it again.

The Emperor's New Groove - John Debney
