NP:Star Trek What of Khan (Horner)
Aliens was a less thematic version of this score
This score is impressive, but more impressive is watch the movie and see how fits with the battleship scenes!!!
PS:Today in Catalonia (spain) is the day of Saint Jordi. Men gives roses to Women,and Women gives books to Men. It's a kind of festivity day.
Does anyone give me Angels and Demons or Star trek in honor oh my name???
You mean Star Trek - What of Khan?
It's St. George's day here, that famous saint of Portugal and Austria

Mission to Mars - Ennio Morricone
I'm one of the few who actually loves this score. OK, I haven't seen the movie so I don't know whether the music fits it or not but it is definitely great on CD.
Oh I'm an admirer too. I put this on whenever I'm in the mood for such a strange but wondrous soundscape. The track 'Where' is just brilliant in its build-up.

NP: BATTLESTAR GALACTICA: SEASON 1 -- Bear McCreary
Considering I've finally seen Season One completely, it is time to get the feeling back through the music, the ending I'm particulary looking forward at
Well you won't have any downtime in between Season 1 and 2, that's for sure. Enjoy the rest of the show brudda...
NP: Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End (Hans Zimmer)
This score start and ends on a high note, a VERY enjoyable score from Hans. It's the only one in the Pirates series I actually like listening to outside of the movie, but that could be due to the fact I don't own the other two... and I don't need to."considering I've seen an enormous debate here about The Amazing Spider-Man and the ones who love it, and the ones who hate it, I feel myself obliged to say: TASTE DIFFERS, DEAL WITH IT" - Thomas G. -

I hope complete boots of the PoTC scores appear someday. They may not be the best by Hans and co. but the action stuff is real fun and entertaining! Not to mention a LOT is missing on the OSTs. -

One of my most played Ennio scores! The movie's chock full of inanities but I still like it. Yep, I'm a De Palma fan too.
Listened to last night...
Marco Frisina - Puccini
From the Italian school of passion and romanticism comes this melodic stunner by Marco Frisina. There are lush, gorgeous themes for romance, grand themes for the period and subject, and playful ones for polkas and dances. This is perhaps my most played and favorite score of 2009 to date.
I don't think there are much fans of Italian TV scores here (non-Morricone) but you folks should check this out if you get a chance. SAE has some clips here.
Keky, you will like it!

No man. It's almost impossible to see those Italian TV flicks unless you're in Italy, I guess. Even if the DVDs are released they're not subtitled in English or are unplayable in the US.

But yes, it is St. Jordi today.
Catalona is Spain. Perhaps your feeling is not the same, but politicaly is spain.
Anyway, this kind of things make me angry. Because we have to destroy frontiers, not create them.

Surely it should create a bond that you're all backward southern misfits together in dire need of northern guidance and aid.

Jordi, a quick profile check would also have shown you that Cailin is married.
Haha, just saw the posts where you were talking about me last month, lol. You guys are funny.
Anyway, just popped by to say The Land Before Time is a total gem. I'm listening to it now. But whenever it plays on my album shuffle, I get taken aback. It really is so lovely.

Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan - James Horner
Interesting, from the discussion in the other thread about what a Star Trek score "should" sound like, that this one is completely different in every respect from Goldsmith's first one. Well, every respect apart from one - they're both brilliant. But it just goes to show, there's more than one way to skin a cat. -

Listening to "The Asteroid Field" at the moment - I haven't heard this in a long time but I'm immediately reminded now of sitting in front of the record player pouring over the LP cover and being swept away by this track in particular.

Having all this music at our fingertips doesn't help. It's so easy to flit between tracks, even scores. Back when we had to change LPs around it would take so long to line the record up that you had to think carefully about whether you actually wanted to listen to the particular score you had chosen.
Flicking through your collection, carefully extracting the vinyl from the cover and sleeve, getting the player ready, lovingly wiping the surface of the record with whatever implement you had for the job (cloth or velvety cushion-thing) before you even got to the music...
Today it's just a case of selecting something from your player - and if it's not to your current taste it's just a case of clicking onto the next track.

Oh I do so know what you mean... there was a time when such tracks, or such scores for that matter were released on a monthly basis. Those times they are tucked away in our memories and will remain there forever. But they're such sweet memories...
And I would have loved to have discovered this on an LP back in 1980 instead of the 1997 special editions releases, which are unmistakably stellar in their recordings and completeness (1997 was the earliest I got any Star Wars scores in soundtrack form, regular or complete). To be that young and in complete awe of something when such music wasn't popular at all by the mainstream public, and without the accessibility of the WWW would have been a truly great experience.

Oh absolutely. But I'm very much inclined to agree. Digital music (i.e. downloading), although its brought many advantages for music fans such as ourselves, has meant the 'magic' has been lost.
It's not necessarily a complaint on my part, I could never complain about having endless selections of music at my fingertips. But that doesn't mean I miss the 'magic'. (Which I used to get by buying CDs when I first started getting into film music and rarely downloaded anything.) -

Yeah, there's definitely something special about (I remember saving up my allowance) buying a shrink wrapped CD, like opening a delicate present. For the longest time (before digital downloading) I'd always seek out soundtracks at used CD stores, and the joy of finding one that I had been searching for, or a composer I adored, was priceless. I miss those days. Now most used CD stores seem to have gone out of business, because people download instead and no one is buying CDs anymore. There's something about having it in your hand, the colorful booklet, the directors/composers notes inside, the orchestra credits, that makes it that much more magical when experiencing the score.

I LOATHE download-only releases, especially iTunes. No matter what anyone says, the quality is horrid and it sounds even worse on a CD player. Lossless or perhaps 320 kbps download options are OK but even then nothing beats a real physical CD release. I'm OK with lossless releases though (especially for video game scores), that's fair enough.
I can't tell you how pissed I am they released Jeff Rona's great Olympics music as download only! -

perhaps that's true, but think about it. How many scores would have been lost IF downloadable options weren't available?
For instance ROAR, it would have surfaced on a compilation (such as the amazing end credits of The Mummy Returns on the Fantasy Album of Silva Screen), but how long would it take to surface on it? We filmmusic fans haven't got patience you know
Think about it, I'm damn lucky we still have this option, because not everything is released. And this is an option so we can still hear it.

Forget about ROAR, which was a great exception. The average score that goes straight to and only into iTunes is usually better left unreleased.Love Maintitles. It's full of Wanders.
