I think that it was mentioned somewhere that Trevor Jones is trying to release a legitimate version of Excalibur.
Some recent additions:
The Professionals - Laurie Johnson
*The Good Shepherd - Marcelo Zarvos & Bruce Fowler
*Robotech: The Shadow Chronicles - Scott Glasgow
Journey To The Center of The Earth - Andrew Lockington
*Hellsing - Yasushi Ishii
Department S - Edwin Astley
*Catch and Release - Brian Transeau & Tommy Stinson
*Acquired from James at the weekend - old promotional discs he was looking to get rid of. Of these four CDs Catch & Release and The Good Shepherd have some lovely moments. Hellsing is a really god-awful CD!!
The Lockington CD has some really good action & emotional cues and is well worth hunting down.
And as with the 3-CD NetworkDVD release of Astley's Randall & Hopkirk (Deceased) their 3-CD release of Department S maybe a bit too long (upwards of 200 cues!) But an interesting nostalgia trip nonetheless.The views expressed in this post are entirely my own and do not reflect the opinions of maintitles.net, or for that matter, anyone else. http://www.racksandtags.com/falkirkbairn -

I just ordered my first two Trevor Jones CDs today.
The first is From Hell.
The second has somewhat of an interesting story to it.
I was looking to order the Excalibur soundtrack and learned that there were only 2,000 copies (or something around there) produced. According to soundtracks.net the estimated value of it was $85. So I found it on Amazon and there were two users selling copies. One of the users wanted $16.98, the other user wanted $2,000 (+$2.98 shipping) for the one soundtrack. Very excited to recieve this CD.
That Dark Crystal 2-disk CD is also proving hard to come by.
Sorry to hear DARK CRYSTAL is proving hard to find? It's Jones very best score imo.On Friday I ate a lot of dust and appeared orange near the end of the day ~ Bregt -

At a push I'd say no it isn't! The original album representation is superb, I think I've only played the original tracks disc twice.On Friday I ate a lot of dust and appeared orange near the end of the day ~ Bregt -

I've played it just once. It's a lovely curiosum, to be sure, but the album representation blows if completely out of the water.
Trust me: THAT is the way to go, and a tenner is an absolute steal for this brilliant album.
Classic example of 'less is more.'
DON'T hold out for the two-CD album. Get this one.
You'll be both cheaper and better off!!!

A few arrived today:
Rabbit-Proof Fence - Peter Gabriel
Brideshead Revisited - Adrian Johnston
She - Max Steiner (TFC)
Papillon - Jerry Goldsmith
Mishima - Philip Glass
Filling a few holes in my collection. Both Mishima and Brideshead Revisited sound as though they are going to be enjoyable listens. She's great to hear with good sound compared to the original. And I'm (at last) giving Papillon a chance...

Good question?
I remember it being recommended. And my only other Gabriel purchase (The Last Temptation of Christ) was certainly a challenging listen - and quite different from most other film music I was familiar with. I'm hoping that this one will be just as challenging - and also rewarding.
It would be terrible if it was always so easy to enjoy the music immediately!!
There's been a few packages arriving recently. Some more acquisitions/purchases (some quite cheap) and some as a direct result of the Bristol gathering:
The Ghost and The Darkness - Jerry Goldsmith
Congo - Jerry Goldsmith
"Christus Apollo" - Jerry Goldsmith
Empire of The Sun - John Williams
Seven Years In Tibet - John Williams
The Life Aquatic With Steve Zissou - Mark Mothersbaugh
Blue Thunder - Arthur B. Rubinstein
Who Framed Roger Rabbit - Alan Silvestri
Obscure - Olivier Deriviere
Obscure 2: The Aftermath - Olivier DeriviereThe views expressed in this post are entirely my own and do not reflect the opinions of maintitles.net, or for that matter, anyone else. http://www.racksandtags.com/falkirkbairn -

But Martijn don't count out the Fireworks suite. While Christus Apollo isn't everyones cup of tea... and those 12 tone pieces are really not everyones cup of tea... the album makes up for it with a rousing fireworks score that is one of my all time favorite Goldsmith pieces.

CHRISTUS APOLLO
is worth having due to the fact the piece FIREWORKS is included.
I'm hard pressed to think of anything WORSE than Christus Apollo

Thanks for the opinions everyone!
Of the haul that I got the Goldsmith CDs were certainly the highlights. The "Christus Apollo" purchase was certainly for the "Fireworks" piece - I had been warned at James' BBQ that "Fireworks" was way ahead of the rest of the pieces on the CD. And this piece features on his Goldsmith compilation.
Both Blue Thunder and Who Framed Roger Rabbit were not actually bought - some kind soul CD-R'd them for me. Which was a relief because I thought they were terrible.
