Author	Topic: What's new in your collection? November 2004

Bond1965 Standard Userer	Seeing as others were still posting in October I thought I'd start a new thread for November. From the used bins: Bad Day at Black Rock (Previn) (For $4.99 a steal!) Dirty Harry (Schifrin) Amityville Horror (Schifrin) Mary Poppins-Special Edition (Sherman Bros.) From eBay: Troy (you know what I mean) 13 Days In France (Lai) Baby The Rain Must Fall/The Caretakers (Bernstein) and from a seller in Germany: Le Mecano de la General (Hisaishi) Genesis (Coulais) Musique de Philippe Rombi (Rombi) Le Role De Sa Vie (Rombi) 5X2 (Cinq Fois Deux) (Rombi) Le Genre Humain: Les Parisiens (Lai) Arsene Lupin (Debbie Wiseman) Of this last batch I've only heard the Lai and some of the Wiseman which is incredible. Will update again once I've heard more. James

Timmer Standard Userer	Today... Yo Yo Ma Plays Morricone....which I have yet to listen to. Bond 1965, I'd be interested in your views on Rombi, I listened to some sound clips and I like what I've heard.

Graham Watt Standard Userer	A most disappointing day. After months, nay YEARS of belt-tightening, just to be able to pay the phone bill and eat, I thought yesterday "Enough!". It's time for serious soundtrack spending. And it's not THAT much money. I thought, here I am, working like a slave to pay for nonsense like phone bills and food, and what CDs have I got to show for it? Very few. So I took the car and drove the 90 km to La Coruña, the nearest big city, where there's an EXCELLENT shop which sells a huge amount of soundtracks. All the way there, whistling happily in the autumn sunshine, I was thinking "What WILL I get? Oh Lordy Lordy, when I see all those Schifrins, I won't be able to decide between DIRTY HARRY and THE AMITYVILLE HORROR. And will I pick up Rozsa's KING OF KINGS? That's quite expensive. So is Alfred Newman's THE GREATEST STORY EVER TOLD. I'll probably get that Chandos/Naxos compilation of British film music just for the 20 minutes of Elisabeth Lutyen's simply amazing THE SKULL. Then there are the great Morgan/Stromberg re-recordings, and all those original Hammer scores I didn't pick up the last time I was in the shop three years ago. And and... Arrived. No Schifrin, no Newman, no Rozsa, no North, no Herrmann. The soundtrack section had shrunk to the size of my penis on a bad day. They had things like SCHINDLER'S LIST and HARRY POTTER and STAR WARS. Shopping will never be the same again. There are now NO decent music shops in a radius of 300 miles. So I'll have to buy on-line, which means I'll have things I really really want, but it takes away completely the magic of impulse buying, the seeing of the CD, the holding of it, the smelling of it, the ejaculation over it. I am very very crushed.

Graham Watt Standard Userer	Oops, forgot to mention what I got! As I say, very disappointing day, but they did have two lesser Goldsmiths which I snapped up (half-heartedly). I'd read that they weren't great, and they're not. DEEP IMPACT - Schlocky horror, not too bad, and it even has some good bits, but a far cry from the master at his best. Like a poor cheap cousin of OUTLAND. It's got the thud-thud horror, but very little class. Perfect for the movie. NOT WITHOUT MY DAUGHTER - A curiously static affair. This didn't transport me mentally at all. Synth work VERY to the fore. Good final track though, I'll be playing that bit again.

Timmer Standard Userer	You mean DEEP RISING! Graham, DEEP IMPACT was the Horner saves the world from an asteroid score. And I agree with you, very mediochre efforts from Goldsmith. I thought I'd better save ya there before someone jumped in and gave you such a wording up that you developed black death, herpes and plagues of locusts. ....y'know what people are like around these parts?!

Graham Watt Standard Userer	Well done, Timmer - you got November's "deliberate mistake." Yup, DEEP RISING it was, DEEP IMPACT being, as you say, a different film.
