August's CD Of The Month...Well, it's actually two CDs and, given some of the amazing stuff listed above (I was particularly pleased to get Goldsmith's THE RIVER WILD and Fenton's WHITE MISCHIEF), you'd be right to expect that the best of the month is something very special indeed. The Special Edition of John Williams' THE EMPIRE STRIKES BACK is a stunning, stunning piece of work. *****

NP: THE WIND AND THE LION (Jerry Goldsmith)

"The Musketeer" (David Arnold)

and maybe: (I'm on a cash restriction for a while)

"Hearts in Atlantis" (Mychael Danna)

--Brian
Gryffindor Seeker

but I may splurge on FSM's Friedhofer disc, Bewtween Heaven and Hell/ Soldier of Fortune.

that'll be about all I can afford for the whole month.

Jurassic Park III DON DAVIS
Planet of the Apes DANNY ELFMAN
Forrest Gump ALAN SILVESTRI
Gettysburg RANDY EDELMAN

Coming soon

Cats and Dogs JOHN DEBNEY
Star Wars: A New Hope: Special Edition: JOHN WILLIAMS
and one other thing I haven't descided on yet probably ROTLA by Williams ET, Contact, or The Abyss

My Favorite Martian-Promo JOHN DEBNEY This has been on my want list for years.

I urge you all to take a chance and buy it.

THE JOHN WILLIAMS COLLECTION. I think that this might be just an old Silva release in new packaging (Prague Philharmonic, Paul Bateman and Nic Raine doing well-known stuff plus Family Plot and The Rare Breed etc).

Some of it sounds quite good, other parts are so terrible they really make you take notice.

I think I'm going to get Aliens: The Deluxe Edition, The Mustketeer and I'm always looking for the score to Shrek (don't know if they have/are going to produce it).

FSM-Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea (Sawtell and Shefter)

FSM-The Towering Inferno (Williams)

SAE-The Court-Martial of Billy Mitchell (Tiomkin)

BMG-More Music from Peter Gunn (Mancini)

French re-issue of orig. LP-The Fox (Schifrin)

British re-issue of orig. LP-The Man with the Golden Arm (Bernstein)

The Golden Arm CD is available from Screen Archives for $12!!! Previously, Golden Arm was only available on CD from Japan at the price of $32 so this is a great opportunity to get this if you don't already have one (I have a copy on LP but didn't buy the Japanese CD and am glad to finally have a copy of this on CD).

• Dmitri Shostakovich: Symphony #8 (Concertgebouw Orchestra, Bernard Haitink)

I have less than zero money right now, but I needed a new CD.
