tjguitar Standard Userer	Oh, and tadlow's true grit is one of the best re-recordings to date, IMO.

franz_conrad Standard Userer	This is a great CD. Makes me want to check out the film. PS. Can't wait for Lou to show and give it a drubbing. Assuming he's deigned to listen to the efforts of 'scum'. [Message edited by franz_conrad on 04-12-2007]

franz_conrad Standard Userer	Beats me. Every company was sent emails and told not to do it anymore. This has been the only one I've gotten since The Nativity Story in December. Since this is such a good one, I'll honour the gesture and review it for Ryan Keaveney's site when I get a chance to see the film on DVD in a couple of weeks.

sdtom Standard Userer	And my review for The Private Life is also complete. http://www.goldenscores.com/?a=reviews&id=58. All in all I think if you get both you'll be very satisfied. tom

Lou Goldberg Standard Userer	I don't have this yet. I've heard the 4 minutes of it posted as clips on the Screen Archives Entertainment site. It wouldn't be fair to judge the entire project on the basis of those clips. Then again, why should I let that stop such an opinionated person as myself. No doubt there are notes, passages, mixing, and emphasis I would have done differently, especially in the Main Title. Musical specifics are always difficult for me to articulate and translate into prose. So I'm not sure if anyone will understand what I'm talking about when I say this isn't quite Rozsa's sound. It's so hard to explain. It sounds as if the conductor were performing a generic piece of music than something by Rozsa but the only way you might be able to understand this is to hear Rozsa conduct it or get a conductor who has the ear to capture the gap where Rozsa sounds like Rozsa and no other. I can hear some people thinking (especially Ford Thaxton who thinks I'm insane)--what is he talking about, he's just looking for things to diss about it because he doesn't want to say anything good about it. On the contrary, once you get past all the little things which separate it from perfection (which can't be obtained anyway), you wind up with one of the best things Raine & the Prague has done. As music it seems to work for me just fine (even if again I only have 4 minutes to base this on). In any case, the 4 minutes were enough to decide me on getting the entire disc rather than skip it. It comes close enough to enjoy and hopefully (if it remains consistent) the entire re-record is free of "wince moments" where things go glaringly off track. I hope people can see that this is the most hopeful thing I've said about a re-record from this crew in some time. I was very skeptical about this project from the first. They didn't have original tapes to listen to, they didn't have original sheet music to work from, they had some mystery violinist, etc. and I predicted disaster. I'm happy to know I was (possibly, probably) wrong. We'll see but based on 4 minutes, I'm pleased & hopeful. Ok, I've spoken. Now I return to my retreat in the Wa Mountains, meditating away from the dramas of the mundane world (or some such Shaw Brothers nonsense).
