    Nice. From 3 CD's to 2 CD's. How about making it 1 CD so that I can pick it up too? wink

    Maybe we should open a topic. 'Custom 40 minute playlists for Thor for every 70+ min score out there'.

    40 minutes? I don't think Thor has that much of an attention span. I'd say 5 minutes.

    I for one am glad to see that they are making this score available as a digital download to hopefully introduce people to some quality music. While many of us think little of digital downloads it is the way things are going to be.

    listen to more classical music!
