    Today, five years ago, we lost this most wonderful of composers.
    As much as it saddens me to realise we won't hear from him again, today it is my joy to celebrate his life by playing his compositions only. smile

  2. Will you commence or end with the almighty power of Conan?

    Good question, that!
    As I have already started though, I pretty much have no choice but to end it with his Magnum Opus, do I?

  4. Sure, it's is the only way to pay homage to Basil.

    I've never been one to mark a composer's DEATH day with tributes. Birthdays, especially round numbers, is another thing. I'm continually surprised by how certain members -- especially at FSM -- create a Goldsmith thread or five on his death day every year since it happened.

    I do play my Poledouris with regular intervals, though, regardless of context. smile

    I prefer to think that we hear from him every time we play his music. He's still alive every time we play one of his albums.

    Every year? uhm

    Anyway, I kinda see your point. But, in this case at least, it's not like I thought about commemorating his death per se, but rather more that I was reminded by an outside source that his death was today, AND five years ago. And it made me want to play some of his tracks again.
    Not because I feel I have to.
    But because I like to.

    That's why I made a big point about celebrating hislife.
    (aside from from the fact that he's unlikely to have any more birthday celebrations dizzy wink )

    Well, of course!
    It's Poledouris!
    Who could stand having to wait?

    It still saddens me that Basil was taken away so prematurely.

    I'll play some of his music today, it nary takes more than the mention of his name to give me a nudge into playing him smile

    Holy crap! They also rerecorded Sword and sorcery: The adventures of Conan! shocked

    As soon as I heard about Conan the destroyer being rerecorded about a half year ago I posted that it would be amazing if they also included Sword and sorcery: The adventures of Conan. Seems my wishes were heard.

    I am hoping that it's going to be available before Christmas. This time of year is quite frustrating because the US-based labels release near the holiday season at a time that means that the titles will usually arrive at US addresses in time for the holidays. But for people outside the US we have to worry that packages don't get lost in the Christmas post - they don't usually come for weeks into the new year.

  20. That new recording sounds absolutely delicious but I remember 'Destroyer' not as completely fantastic as 'Barbarian'. Or am I wrong? Anyway, I'm going to check this out on release. Keep those bombastic scores coming. smile

    That's what I'm worried about. I'd like to have it before Christmas!

    Poledouris is the draw for me on this one, if it was just Zimmer I'd not bother.

    Me too. The Intrada press release is conspicuously silent on the issue - why are there two scores? Track titles suggest they're both essentially scores for the whole film - was one score rejected?

    I forget the actual details, and someone correct me if I'm wrong, but I think Basil's score was supposed to be rejected out right. Zimmer came in, wrote a new score but the producers ended up selecting cues from both scores and used them on a cue by cue basis in the film.

    I believe you're correct Erik. I'm sure the booklet notes will fill in the details.
