  1. Arrived today:

    Randall and Hopkirk (Deceased) - Edwin Astley

    Three CDs worth of music composed by Astley for this late-'60s/early-'70s TV show. It's going to take a while to fully digest this (almost) 3 hour, 200+ track extravaganza or harpsicord-laden delight. And I'm sure that I'll cherry-pick the most interesting tracks down into a more manageable listen.

    I'm really looking most to hearing the various forms of the main theme that Astley used throughout the series - as well as more unfamiliar, episode-specific compositions.

    I'd read elsewhere of other peoples' disappointment that the opening and closing theme cues seemed to be culled from a source other than the original 1/4-inch monoaural tapes (sounds like they may have been sourced from acetates) but finding better sounding (and expanded) versions from places like YouTube make this a minor quibble.

    This one's sounds quite interesting! I've not put my money down for this one yet, so I'd be interested to hear your opinion, Tim.


    Will do! smile

    just got confirmation that it's shipped, usually turns up within a couple of days from that point.

    When I have it, you shall know. It's a jazz score.

    -Se-Hyeon Im's Dae Jang Geum:
    Absolutely one of the best South Korean scores. Piano solo's, asian strings, abnormal woodwind performances, some cues with the best solo tenor for a score ever (if there even were any other good examples), very soft melodies and a women just humming nonsense... It's very relaxing, mystical, emotional music.

    I quite like this score.

    One could say it reminded me of why people call him 'the Japanese John Williams'. wink

    Me. I would have paid you to take my copy off me (and would have paid you more if you also took The Island, which is probably even worse).

    Absolutely beautiful music, especially track 13 (if i recall correctly), "reunion" which is breathtakingly touching, especially if you've watched the movie before. Have you btw? Or have you heard any of the latest Dallwitz scores from last year or so? I am deeply interested in those but i don't know if they've been released or if anyone heard them whatsoever.

    Sometimes Caiman is very fast, but occasionally they need weeks to ship an order.

    Refunds are always done within a few days. confused

    Once I found Rat Race in an Amazon listing for only $30 (this was when the cheapest previous buy I'd seen was around $50). I bought it instantly, then about a day later I got an email that said it was out of stock. I was like #$%&! why list it on amazon if you don't actually have it!?

    Then, a few days later, I received the score in the mail. confused
    I love you all. Never change. Well, unless you want to!

    I had an odd experience when I ordered Signs and Legends Of The Fall from Amazon.co.uk when I received an email telling me that my order would not arrive until a further three weeks. Seconds after closing the email, they shot through the letterbox. I was like WTF?
  4. Purchased myself

    - Stardust by Ilan Eshkeri
    - The Promise by Klaus Badelt
    - Mathilda by David Newman

    I have heard all 3, its time to finally have them for real and not on CDR anymore wink
    Even though I must say several tracks of Mathilda aren't on the bootleg, and my god one of them sounds sublime shocked
    waaaaaahhhhhhhh!!! Where's my nut? arrrghhhhhhh

    Went clothes shopping. And since I hate shopping, I also went looking for something nice to buy for myself:

    Arvo Pärt - Da Pacem

    I also bought a recording which contains:

    Giya Kancheli - Styx
    John Tavener - The Myrrh-bearer

    Both are works for viola, orchestra and choir lick

    I think it's gorgeous! Probably my second favourite Horner score to Apollo 13. Are you looking for a good word about it or have you heard it yourself?
