    500 copies and I missed out....

    Does anyone hear have a spare original copy they'd like to part with for good hard earned cash?

    Does anyone in the industry forsee more prints becoming available in the near future?

    This desperate yet nice girl needs a glimmer of hope...somewhere out on the rainbow...

    I've now lost all my faculties

    There were only 500 faculties for hire and I missed out again.

    There is no hope....where is that darned rainbow.

    Course - you could email me some of your faculties Jeron but that might make my head a bit screwy

    Deiter Schleip scores
    Black Hawk Down

    Shipping News
    Count of Monte Cristo
    Gosford Park
    Kiss of the Dragon

    Hmmm, that has never been attempted before. My faculties have a unique, regenerative property, so you can hire as many of mine as you'd like. I'll simply have them back within moments. I would like to think the more faculties people hire from me, the closer I will be to world domination. A lofty goal, yes, but completely plausible.

    If I rule the world, free movie music for everyone! Remember that, and you will live a long and prosperous life.

    Hmmm.. tempting. Are they expensive? How long do I get them for?


    Oh, & dang it all, I've also missed out on Swordfish as well.

    Better make sure that doesn't happen to YSH, BWCF, & DATD as well.

    NP avnegers (well, something like that anyway)

    They are extremely affordable. Especially for Europeans. Please visit with my Faculty Purchasing Consultant. You'll be able to keep them as long as you like. In fact, I guarantee you'll enjoy them so much, you won't want to return them.

    Out on the rainbow, or over it? Cause there's a difference, you know. You've either got a Dorothy Gail complex, or you're reachin' for some Rainbow Bright / Care Bears action. Think about it and lemme know when you've got it all figured out. I have some faculties for that, as well.

    Shaun has a point, however, Warriors of Virtue and The Count of Monte Cristo are both albums I recommend. Unless you've become as cynical as Mr. Rutherford... and then I suppose it's okay to dislike most everything.

    I personally wouldn't recommend Warriors of Virtue. For me, it drones on and on with pretty little themes that get introduced and then just thrown in the trash. All said and done, the lack of development drives me nuts and as a result, I don't listen to it very often.

    NP: QB VII (I would highly recommend this... and most people probably wouldn't like it.)

    I found QB VII to be a great Goldsmith score, if not slightly underrated. (More people need to hear it!)

    Well I can help you out. I think the following scores are not worth the purchase. So you may want to remove them from your list.

    Kiss ofthe Dragon
    Iris
    Black Hawk Down
    Swordfish (its loo late for this anyway, isn't it?)
    Die Hard


    Anytime

    But Tim, you should still get it. If only to keep up your habit of buying CDs then selling them a couple weeks later.

    Tell me about it "cine-sin"! As one Aussie to another Aussie I fully sympathise. Although it's no help, I can only suggest that we just continue to grit our teeth, bear our burdens, bitch like hell, cry on each other's shoulders and hope for the best, although I see no light at the end of this exchange rate tunnel anytime in our immediate future! Sigh...

    Jeron – If I take some of your faculties does that mean I become “mini-me”?
    (I'm with you on 'Monte Cristo')


    Shaun, Tim T – Thanks for the tips but I’ll get most of them anway but I’m going to prioritize. So:
    -Warriors of Virtue
    -Kiss of the Dragon
    can come last.

    Black Hawk Down
    Iris
    Gosford Park
    I can just get here in Australia if they get released soon. Zimmer has a strange effect on me, I always feel compelled to get his latest work even though I'm usually disappointed.

    Dieter Schleip is someone I really want to look into but I’m having trouble finding more than 2 of works to buy. That’s ambivalence for you.

    Die Hard has already been bought

    JJH – Dieter Schleip is a German composer who has written scores for film and television. He came to my attention when I watched a German film on television a few days ago.

    http://www.dieter-schleip.de/

    John – I know what you mean when you refer to the constant frustration. Millions of starving people all over the world and I indulge my score diatribe. You’d think I’d have figured it out by now that this time of the year is a buying frenzy. Did you know that ABC was screening the BAFTA’s this Saturday?

    I can`t believe all the flack that Warriors of Virtue is getting here. It is a very good score, though the album may drag on a bit. Some of the action material is definitely some of the best DAvis has ever done.

    As for the rest on that list:
    Kiss of the Dragon: some good stuff, but the album is way overlong, resulting in horribly boring passages.
    Iris: impressive for Horner, makes for a very nice background listen
    Gosford Park: I adore Doyle, but this, while still nice, is a bit too lightweight
    Black Hawk Down: a difficult listen, missing most of the best music
