HadrianD Oscar® Winner	The album is out. How is it?

Jeron Oscar® Winner	I've heard a little bit of it, and believe me, the theme is addictive. Extremely hummable. I'm anxious to get this one... it's great they decided to put out a disc for Powell's score. NP- Pitch Black (Revell) [Message edited by Jeron on 09-25-2001]

Hasta Oscar® Winner	Agree with Jeron. I've only heard the track off the commercial album, but damn is it fun! Much more so (if that seven minute suite represents the whole album) than Powell's Evolution, which was decidedly a mixed bag... But poor Jeron, so sorry you have to be listening to Pitch Black

Wedge Oscar® Winner	WHO is putting out a disc for Powell's score? I can't afford to buy the compilation for the sake of one score suite, but I'd consider a genuine score release.

John Zimmer Oscar® Winner	How long is it? It looks like a pretty good length. Np: Chicken Run (John Powell & Harry Gregson-Williams) ***/*** Jz

Dylan Oscar® Winner	Anyone know how long the album will be for Rat Race?

Hard Target Oscar® Winner	I got it today and it's about 36 missing and my only complaint is that it's missing that wonderful rendition of the I Love Lucy theme which was incorporated into Powell's score at one point. But inside the album booklet it says additional music by James McKee Smith. I wonder what he wrote for the film. Nice album though, I'm glad it was released.

TimT Oscar® Winner	Freaking stores here didn't have it!

SBD Oscar® Winner	I picked up the album today and I love it! This is just the kind of score you expect a goofy comedy like "Rat Race" to have. The main theme is so catchy. The track titles are pretty funny as well. I noticed something in the score; it's more present on the album: in the scored scenes with Enrico Pollini (Rowan Atkinson), I notice an orchestral rendition of "Embrace Me, My Sweet Embracable You" (I don't know the actual title). Did anyone else notice this?

Ah well, I guess he's just trying to separate himself from all of the James Smiths out there. [Message edited by jonathan_little on 11-24-2001]

Hasta Oscar® Winner	A fun score indeed... Though truthfully, I believe that if you've heard the lengthy suite on the original soundtrack, you've heard everything you need to.

scoreguy16 Oscar® Winner	I don't think they have long names... Harry Gregson-Williams, Nick Glennie-Smith (Whatever happened to him?), and then the names that I get confused are Jeff Rona and Jay Rifking cuz of their e-mail addresses. Clayton

John Zimmer Oscar® Winner	I'll probably pick up the score. Sometime over the hollidays. The clips sound great! Jz

Did anyone else notice this? So am I really the only one to notice this? Fine, don't respond! It's not like I ever did anything to futher the advancement of civilization! Rant over.

HadrianD Oscar® Winner	I got the CD more than a month ago. It seems to me that John finally got to write that orchestral he wanted to do. SBD, I don't know the song you're referring to so i can't really comment. Maybe you can point me to the specific track? That might clear something up for me

John Zimmer Oscar® Winner	Well I just heard the entire score suite on the original album, and I think that it's great!! This really sounds like a goody. He's still better when parred with Harry Gregson Williams though. Np: Rat Race: Score Suite (John Powell) **/*** Jz

HadrianD Oscar® Winner	YEAH!!!!! I noticed it. IT's played for 14 sec before going all wild and crazy. YOu know, does anyone know the name of the song being quoted here?

jeffy Oscar® Winner	I have a question....that song at the beginning of the film during the credits....did Powell have a hand in writing it? I don't have either the song CD or score CD, and was wondering if anyone knew. I like that song a lot (thinking it could be nominated for an Oscar too, if it was written for the film).
