nuts_score Standard Userer	Stopped off at my local trade in store and got both of these for $5.99: THE STRAIGHT STORY - Angelo Badalamenti AN ENNIO MORRICONE-DARIO ARGENTO TRILOGY Badalamenti's got some good themes in Story and the Morricone album is going to take a little warming up to. If only something can pull me away from the Varese The Fly set and Marianelli's The Brothers Grimm score . . . NP> Shore's The Fly **/**

BMikeJ Standard Userer	That Morricone set can be really tough to warm up to. I'm a big Morricone junkie but I have a real hard time with the atonal writing style he employed for the Argento films.

Yeah, I've only really given a thorough listen to the Il gatto a nove code sections of the disc as they are the only ones that are a little easier to access through horror tastes. The atonal writing is definitely different with a Morricone album.

nuts_score Standard Userer	A stop for groceries made me $14 bucks shorter as I picked up David Newman's score for Serenity (which I'd put off on buying for too long). Tomorrow I going to head over to some more record stores and see if I can land myself The Machinist and some Almodovar/Iglesias titles. NP> Serenity

Marian Schedenig Standard Userer	You could just wait for the Morgan/Stromberg on Naxos. Though I don't know when that will be ready.

nuts_score Standard Userer	Okay, no luck finding any Iglesias titles or The Machinist so I may have to order them from here or Amazon. I did pick up four others, though: 24 - Sean Callery (Best. Liner. Notes. Ever!) THE THIN RED LINE - Hans Zimmer (I regretted ever giving my original copy to an old high school friend. He moved, I never saw it again except for the few cues I still kept on a mix CD. Glad to have it back, though) THE HUNT FOR RED OCTOBER - Basil Poledouris (I'm a Poledouris fan, and this has slipped my grasp time and time again whenever I see it at stores, I couldn't say 'No' to the $10.99 price this time) THE TIME MACHINE - Russell Garcia (this is the original GNP Crescendo re-recording, not the expanded version FSM put out in the summer. It's still enjoyable) NP> The Hunt for Red October **/**

craig Standard Userer	Two new titles in my collection: Shade (Christopher Young) No Escape (Graeme Revell) I ordered The Machinist from a Virgin Records store (because all other places i checked couldn't even order it!), they had the label, the number, everything. The guy who ordered it told me it would be about 5 weeks. That was 2 and a half months ago. That's a hard title to come by.

Have been acquiring lots of Jan Kaczmarek scores this year, John. How do you like the Quo Vadis? Oh, and I just got Creature from the Black Lagoon and Other Jungle Pictures from MMM...fun stuff and superb sound!

nuts_score Standard Userer	When was the last time any of you got away with 9 OSTs for under $35? Huh? For me, it was today at a stop to a used movie shop down in south Atlanta. Little did I know they carried CDs and had quite a soundtrack collection. I got away with some excellent titles and they even had a special of "Buy 3, get one free". This has probably been the best set of buys I've had since I started collecting scores: MEDAL OF HONOR: FRONTLINE - Michael Giacchino $0.99 (!!!) TRAFFIC - Cliff Martinez and various artists $6.99 (!!) FINDING NEVERLAND - Jan Kaczmarek $6.99 (!!!!) CINEMA CHORAL CLASSICS II - Various Composers feat. the City of Prague Philharmonic and the Crouch End Festival Chorus $1.99 (!!!) SEVEN YEARS IN TIBET - John Williams $1.99 (!!!) ROZSA: THREE CHORAL CLASSICS (BEN-HUR, QUO VADIS, KING OF KINGS) - Miklos Rozsa/Erich Kunzel feat. the Cincinnati Pops Orchestra and the Mormon Tabernacle Choir $3.99 (!!!!) LA CONFIDENTIAL - Jerry Goldsmith $6.99 (!!!!!) BATMAN: MASK OF THE PHANTASM - Shirley Walker $1.99 (!!!!) JURASSIC PARK III - Don Davis $6.99 (!!) By the way, those exclamtion marks represent my Excit-O-Meter (out of five). NP> Goldsmith's LA Confidential **/** [Message edited by nuts_score on 12-13-2005]

Jim Ware Standard Userer	The Fellowship of the Ring - The Complete Recordings (Howard Shore) Stunning. I have some minor issues with the assembly of it, but it's still an amazing presentation of a superb score. King Kong (James Newton Howard) Noisy and generic. A bit of a disappointment, but not really an unexpected one given the length of time to compose the score. Hour of the Gun (Jerry Goldsmith) Slowly completing my collection of Goldsmith Western scores. Caboblanco (Jerry Goldsmith) Hugely underrated. A crap film with a superb Goldsmith score. There's a surprise... Memoirs of a Geisha (John Williams) Gorgeous. A definite Oscar-contender. Broadcast News (Bill Conti) I've been waiting for this for years!

craig Standard Userer	The Marrying Man (David Newman/Various) $5 - Kim Basinger does a fantastic job on this. Donnie Brasco (Patrick Doyle) $20 Batman Beyond: Return of the Joker (Kristopher Carter) $11 The Warriors (Barry DeVorzon) $9 HALO 2 (Martin O'Donnell/Michael Salvatori) $10 - The extra talent on this score make this an interesting buy.

nuts_score Standard Userer	Just got back from my used record shop with four new purchases: THE MISSION - Ennio Morricone (I love this film and the music is so superb against the images; it's hard to believe I've never picked it up, but the $6.99 price helped) 2001: A SPACE ODYSSEY - Gyorgy Ligeti and various composers (Again, same story as The Mission) THE CRYING GAME - Anne Dudley and various artists (I'm a fan of Neil Jordan's work, and this is a fine film from him. I recently discovered Dudley within the past month when a friend lent me a copy of her American History X score, which I didn't even bother burning because I bought it that day at the shop) THE CLAIM - Michael Nyman (I'm a Nyman virgin as music seperated from film, but I've always recognized his work with Michael Winterbottom in film; as I listen to it now, I really enjoy the quality of his work and the recording is superb)
