My brother was out shopping for vegetabes, and he found this amongst the carrots. As it was cheaper than the carrots themselves, he got a copy for himself, and another for me. One pound. He spent more on postage.

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOH BATMAN!!!! BEYOND!!!! J/K

• dancepieces - Quite good, though I'm a bit disappointed that it's kind of a compilation; I already had the two Glassworks pieces.
  
• The Hours - Finally down to 10 euros, and I'm glad I didn't pick it up before for the usual price of 18. I'm also glad to finally have it though. Very good score, and the final track is nothing short of amazing.

• Brassed Off (some bits by Trevor Jones and lots of brass band stuff)
  
• The Yards (Howard Shore)
  
• How The West Was Won (Alfred Newman)
  
• Previn conducts Korngold
  
• Naqoyqatsi (Philip Glass)
  
• dances nos. 1-5 (Philip Glass)
  
• songs (songs from liquid days & songs from the trilogy; Philip Glass)
  
• Harmonium & Choruses from The Death of Klinghoffer (John Adams)
  
• Facing Goya (Michael Nyman)

Anime Stuff
Full Metal Panic OST - Toshihiko Sahashi (same composer behind Big O, provide another good score for a big Robo series)
Tenchi Muyo 2: Daughter Of Darkness OST - Ko Otani (good score, w/one track seemingly like HZ doing the Omen)
You're Under Arrest OVA OST - Ko Otani (good like usual)
Haibane Renmei OST - Ko Otani (quite angelic and beautiful, recommended)
Jin-Roh OST - Hajime Mizoguchi (he worked with Yoko Kanno on some of her previous score, quite good)

2. The Missing (Horner) - I hadn't planned to buy this one for a while, but found it was a surprise gift on the 14/2... oh well, maybe I'll have to revise my acerbic notes on marital status at my profile if this is the fruit of romance. This is really good. Really good. I've been having a great week listening to this.

3. Tess / The Tennant (Sarde) - I don't know Sarde well, and this is really I come in as a collector. It's interesting stuff - not what I expected. 'Tess' is like a lesser 'Age of Innocence' (Bernstein), while 'The Tennant' has that beautifully defined dialogue between glass harmonica and clarinet. An interesting anecdote is that I heard the Tess 'Finale' for the first time as I walked through the infamous block in Redfern, Sydney the morning the smoke was clearing from the riots people have probably seen on BBC. Juxtaposition indeed.

4. Big Fish (Elfman) - Something about this causes me to like it above even 'Edward Scissorhands', 'Black Beauty' and the 'Batman' scores. Definitely an understated (and underrated) masterpiece. I know who I want the Oscar to go to - and people probably know I admire Howard Shore as much if not more than the next fan.

5. Cold Mountain (Yared) - the sampling on the disc confirms what I thought while seeing the film: This is not Yared's big war film after all. Instead it seems the Weinstein/Minghella collaboration managed to again crowd Yared out of a full score, or even a full score CD. I definitely like what I hear, and if an Oscar win was needed to bring about a complete score release of this one, I wouldn't be dismayed excessively.

6. Cutthroat Island (Debney) - this is the kind of thing I should have heard in Pirates of the Caribbean! It's repetitive, plays second-fiddle to Hook among modern swashbuckler scores, and the orchestrators seem to have considered one setting as fit for all cues, but wow, what a theme! What a finale!

7. Talk to Her (Iglesias) - not as good as Iglesias' Dancer Upstairs, but a tad more optimistic, this one waltzes in and out of my player every now and then.

BATMAN (Danny Elfman)- Not bad for 50p. I have the LP, but for this price I couldn't help but update it. Still strikes me as being rather irritating in its hecticness, but good enough.

SUMMER OF 42/ PICASSO SUMMER (Michel Legrand)- Two tracks from SUMMER OF 42 plus arrangements from the other less famous film. I like Michel Legrand, and this was a bargain for the price of a lettuce leaf.

Then, after all that cheapo miser nonsense, the postman came from FSM with -

SOYLENT GREEN/ DEMON SEED (Fred Myrow/ Jerry Fielding) - Had a quick listen earlier. The Myrow is very intriguing, I'm very happy with it (and I was going in blind, or deaf, to that one). The Fielding score is very abstract, but I got this for the orchestral rewrites of the impregnation scene. Superb (and the more difficult music will grow on me. It's Fielding).

BETWEEN HEAVEN AND HELL/ SOLDIER OF FORTUNE Hugo Friedhofer) - Haven't had much of a chance to aurally scrotumize it yet, but I love Friedhofer. Sounds quite dark, but intriguing (and when he does a melody, it's typically glorious).

When you're as connected as I am (whatever!), the ultra-rare and obscure stuff will continue to roll in. Just today I received a limited edition Japanese import containing jazz interpretations of Elliot Goldenthal's SPHERE. Out of sight!

4. What type of music would you like to hear DUEL perform in the future? (tick box):
[] More classical music
[] more film and TV themes

---

LAND AND FREEDOM (George Fenton) - Elegant, but very discreet.

COLOR OF NIGHT (Dominic Frontiere) - A far cry from his OUTER LIMITS days of glory. Very cheesy, and a third of it is songs.

HIGHLANDER compilation (Michael Kamen, Stewart Copeland, J. Peter Robinson) - sounds quite promising. I knew the Kamen, and some of it's excellent. Didn't know the Copeland (I don't like much of his film work, though The Police did some good songs). This sounds better than I expected. The JP Robinson might be the surprise here - I really liked the bits I heard.
