NP: Ice Age (2002) - David Newman
I saw the film years ago without - it seems - paying much attention to the music. When I revisited the film recently the score stood out like the Tour Eiffel. A lot of Mickey Mousing but that's in the nature of it. A real fun score.
VolkerBach's music is vibrant and inspired. -

NP: Elektra (2004) - Christophe Beck / Promo
For the first time I ordered at colosseum.de due to a winter sell out they are doing there. One of the items I ordered was Space Hunters by Elmer Bernstein. Turns out that it's sold out despite still being offered on the site.
Without asking back they replaced that Bernstein CD with the Beck one. Surprise, surprise! So that's a bit odd. I don't remember ever having noticed the very existence of that film. My first thought was "Eugene O'Neill". Well, no relation. The score seems a rather non-descript half electronic half orchestral romp. Interesting ...

NP: The War of the Vendée - Kevin Kaska
This is a beautiful orchestral score mixing sweeping string passages with bold brass outbursts, martial action scoring and semi-religious choir all contributing to giving an excellent soundtrack to what I believe is a particularly church-backed production (from 2012).
Some may recall my (failed) attempt to get an mp3 version of this score from CD Baby. After that I ended up ordering a CD directly from the film's producers. And it was well worth the perseverance.
Athough this video does not give much sense of the score as a whole, it does give a bit of a feel for the quality of Kaska's score (including some excellent solo string performances) - http://youtu.be/BPO6s6YvpkkThe 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 -

Sensational score, one of the best animated scores ever I think. Would love to see an expanded release; the 30 minute CD only just begins to do it justice.
Eight Below - Mark Isham
A very strong work overall though it does tend to ebb and flow with great material rather than produce cues of sustained quality. Seems like ages since Isham wrote something as good or better than this. -

Well, I just tried to do the same thing and got the same result. It's pretty shameful that they are still offering it for purchase when the download is for 30 second clips. We'll see what they have to say on Monday, assuming no one is in the office on the weekend. If I get the same runaround you got I am going to demand to speak with someone of intelligence. No one in their right mind would think the 30 second tracks are how the artist wanted the album released as opposed to the artist not understanding how the digital release process works and putting the wrong files in the wrong place. Music downloads are their business, they should know better.
On a brighter note, I was able to download the full lossless version of his Tone Poems album, which seems like its going to be absolutely bloody fantastic, the kind of thing I always wanted John Williams concert music to be.I love you all. Never change. Well, unless you want to! -

You will have no satisfaction with getting the tracks. You need to ask for a refund.
Apparently CD Baby are unable to remove the offer of the download as a purchasing option - the artist themselves must do it. I tried contacting Kaska via Facebook and via his site but had no reply. And since the tracks have not been removed, even CD Baby's attempts to contact Kaska (or his representatives has proved useless.
CD Baby were fine about issuing a refund once it was clear that they could offer no solution.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 -

Do you mean to imply they are unable to physically grab a copy of the CD that they are selling and rip it to their own server? I don't buy that. It's more like they can't be bothered to do it because it's such a low-selling item. Failing that, it's nonsense to say they can't remove the download, or at least print a warning about the situation. It's the internet, these things are not hard to add to their own website. I don't want a refund, I want what I bought, and if they give me that run-around I will not be doing business with them again unless they are literally the only source of the music I want. (please note, I am not saying you are wrong, I am just saying their response is ridiculous, especially since they are still gleefully accepting money for a faulty product with no warning).
The creation of this well-produced, expensive-sounding, hugely orchestral music (not just this score but the tone poems and chamber music) only to subsequently escape the notice of the entire world for four years is one of the most bizarre things I've seen in film music in a long time. Especially if the composer has since disappeared from the industry.

There is a lot that the site seemed unwilling - or unable - to do to help with in this. At first they said that this was what the composer wanted to sell!
I did end up taking my business elsewhere and I ordered the CD directly from the film's production company website.

Hmm. It's good (very good in places) but not as good as I'd hoped. Interest waning far before the end. And it's mono. Wish I'd noticed that before buying it.
