Yeah, I might get the original version as well. But if it's good, I think I'd prefer to start with the orchestral version. Since the worst stress at the university and job is over (or at least I hope so), I treated myself to a couple of new CDs: Anton Bruckner: 9 Symphonies (Berlin Philharmonic, Herbert von Karajan) Anton Bruckner: Complete Symphonies (including symphonies 00, 0 and the original finale of the 4th; Royal Scottish National Orchestra, National Symphony Orchestra of Ireland, New Zealand Symphony Orchestra, Georg Tintner) $70 for 20 CDs is a good price, I think. NP: Anton Bruckner: Study Symphony / #00 (Royal Scottish National Orchestra, Georg Tintner)

Graham Watt Oscar® Winner	Browsing in a pretty bad shop, I found, amongst multiple song compilations: RAMBO 2 (Jerry G), the Silva expanded one, and at half price! Also got cheap: THE TEN COMMANDMENTS (Elmer B). A question: was the LP a double? I can't remember, but if so I imagine that the CD is missing some tracks, as it only runs an hour...

I'm not sure if I'll prefer the orchestra version or not! Only one thing is certain: I'll be buying both! That's most likely the ATMA release... got it two days ago and it's superior in every aspect to the one I mentioned earlier in this thread. Performed by the Ensemble vent et percussion de Quebec under the baton of René Joly. It also contains 'Spartacus, a symphonic tone poem', composed by Jan van der Roost. A disc worth having! TIMMEEEEEEERIO! Watch out for next weeks look at another LOTR Symphony No. 1 release: THE FULL MONTY THEN! Cheers: el brute

brutus Oscar® Winner	Got today from Thailand (where a good friend of mine lives): SURYOTHAI, Richard Harvey (the score to the most expensive thai production to date... according to my friend. Richard Harvey recorded the score with the Budapest Film Orchestra and an ensemble with original thai instruments, adding the appropriate color. The movie seems to be an historic epic) BANG RA JAN, Karabau (a very popular thai band. I hope I spelled the names correct...) JAN DARA, Tschantschein Pongprapapand (THAT's a name huh?) an erotic/romantic Lovestory, the music - reminds me sometimes of Sakamoto - is spheric stuff with some thai percussion, very nice easy listening Does anyone else know one of those?

Graham Watt Oscar® Winner	Mark, I imagine that the available versions of THE TEN COMMANDMENTS are indeed re-recordings. What I was wondering was if the 1989 MCA CD release is the same as the old LP. I've got the LP back in Scotland and haven't seen it for a while, but I think it was a double (or did it just have a fold-out sleeve?). As I said before, if it was a double, the CD could be an edited version of that, as it only runs an hour. Or maybe my brain's just scrambled. LRob, what's COMANCHE like? I remember Herschel Burke Gilbert's stark, abrasive main titles for things like RIOT IN CELL BLOCK ELEVEN and WHILE THE CITY SLEEPS. I also recall his much softer score for SAM WHISKEY, but I don't think he's got much out. A great composer.

Marian Schedenig Oscar® Winner	Hmm...my Taxi Driver has 10 tracks, but there seems to be another release (with the same cover it appears) with 16 tracks? Am I missing much? (Though normally, complete Herrmann scores are a bit too complete for my tastes, anyway) NP: John Williams: American Journey (Recording Arts Orchestra of LA, Williams)

John Zimmer Oscar® Winner	New editions: Titan A.E.

(Athough I haven't heard much by him) Air Force One regected has better action music than Goldsmiths attempt. (Which is really hard to believe ) Contact what can I say is one of Silvestri's best (it's filed with "Gump influences." NP: Air Force One Jz

posted 01-29-2002 02:57 AM PT (US)

Graham Watt Oscar® Winner	Marian, sounds like your TAXI DRIVER is the old one, the same as the original LP. The expanded one has new Herrmann tracks plus the jazzy re-recorded versions by Dave Blume. I know what you mean about too much Herrmann, but this should be one to get. Although I haven't got it. Nobody going to answer my questions about THE TEN COMMANDMENTS and COMANCHE? Scroll up (that's not an insult)!
posted 01-29-2002 02:04 PM PT (US)

Marian Schedenig Oscar® Winner	Well, my album has 5 tracks arranged and conducted by Dave Blume (nice, but not really original Herrmann), one Theme from "Taxi Driver", which is Herrmann's music with (incredibly hissy) Robert De Niro dialogue. Only the four remaining tracks (about 10 minutes) are "normal" score. I have to say I'm pretty disappointed. Only ten minutes of this great score... NP: Walking With Beasts (Benjamin Bartlett)
posted 01-29-2002 02:26 PM PT (US)

Graham Watt Oscar® Winner	Mmmm, that sounds like it actually could be the first release, Marian. Mind you, I thought it had marginally more Herrmann than that. It took up one side on the old LP.
posted 01-29-2002 02:40 PM PT (US)

Marian Schedenig Oscar® Winner	Well, 5 of the 10 tracks, but one with narration. (And sorry, I can't answer your question - just so you have at least AN answer).
