    Good heavens, who ever thought of google search with the tag 'mp3' or 'download' next to it! omg

    I've owned a number of bootlegs over the years -- as I'm sure we all have -- but I've tried to rid myself of most of them. The only ones I've kept are the rare and completely unreleased scores by Williams, Elfman and Goldenthal (which of course will be jettisoned as soon as they get a commercial release).
    I am extremely serious.

    To understand the ways of the Force is to let oneself be touched upon by the dark side. As long as one does not let oneself be turned completely away from the light side. wink

    Then... what are you complaining about? Official or not, the music is the same.


    It could be the fact that that's piracy?..

    Oh noes! The moral evil of downloading an obscure soundtrack no longer in print, one that I've already purchased in its official form! I don't know how I sleep at night to be honest.

    I've given more blowjobs for these bootlegs than I care to remember. Thankfully there are good people like yourself who manage to avoid this way of life, but spare a thought for those of us who aren't so blessed.

    To be fair guys, the self-appointed (I would never suggest there's some massive billion-dollar industry driving the legislative process here) agencies that seek out and prosecute individual downloaders are MUCH more aggressive in Germany and the US than in the majority of countries.

    Since I'm confessing things, I've also driven over the speed limit, taken drugs, urinated in a public place, lied, cheated and, on occasion, left the toilet seat up. Truly, I am a broken soul who needs to be put back on the righteous path.
  9. There is something off about the new artwork from Lost in Space. There is a rectangle visible around the logo as if someone had done copy and paste job without adjusting the colours. It is also visible on the printed booklet if you look closely.

    And: I was referring to physical bootlegs, not illegal downloads.

    Physical bootlegs -amazingly- were really easily available throughout Europe.
    Most of these shops are now defunct, but I had two outlets in Germany, three in the UK (soundtrack specialists, the bootlegs brotherly rubbing shoulders with regular releases).

    And of course there were whole labels that worked with the differences in copyright laws (like the Swiss Tickertape label, which never failed to incur the fury of the Americans over at FSM).

    I guess nobody really cared back in the day. smile

  11. NP: Days of Thunder (1990) - Hans Zimmer

    I finally obtained this CD. Fantastic! I just love Zimmer's music from those end-80s / early 90s years.

    The expanded album sounds and flows beautifully.

    Yes, it's clear that someone didn't notice it because the color of these damned LCD monitors actually changes depending on what position of the screen someone is looking at. By putting the logo near the bottom of my screen I could clearly see it, but not at the top of my screen. And the bigger the screen, the more it becomes an issue.

  15. THE LAST STARFIGHTER - Craig Safan

    The Intrada release. The theme is gold of course, and things start off nicely and end even better. WAY better. But in between there's some mickey-mousing and other quirky stuff going on, and I can't say I'm totally into this kind of scoring.

    But I shouldn't complain, this type of music is the total opposite of today's scoring, and for that it deserves to be owned and listened to. Occasionally. cool

    Plus the sound on this one is totally kick-ass !!!

    Scouts Guide to the Zombie Apocalypse - Matthew Margeson

    Great fun. And heavily orchestral too which makes all the great string-heavy action music a real treat. First solo score I've heard from Margeson after excellent collaborations with Henry Jackman on King-Ass and Kingsmen and I have to say this is impressive if you're in the mood for generally loud music. Reminds me a bit of Nathan Barr's Hostel scores actually.

  17. And this just came to my attention: that The Last Starfighter is actually a very close relative to Lost in Space. Safan's style is very similar to Broughton's.

    And boy is it FANFARISTIC. Sorely missed nowadays.

    Between this (which I haven't heard), the brilliant EDDIE THE EAGLE, the so-so KINGSMAN and the upcoming PEREGRINE film for Tim Burton, Margeson is really one of our biggest rising stars right now.

    Margeson is well and truly on the rise - he and Daniel Pemberton are the two of the most interesting composers to emerge in recent times.


    Trumbo - Theodore Shapiro

    Now appreciate this more after seeing the excellent film last week. The jazzy main couple of ideas are excellent. There's no real depth to the score beyond these but there's a fairly solid 30 minutes here.

  22. Hollywood '95 Various

    One of my very favourite rerecorded compilations. Great selection of music beautifully performed and the album is brilliantly sequenced, just a joy from beginning to end.
  23. I'm listening to Batman Begins and it's making me sad. Say what you want about how restrained and melody-light it is, at least Zimmer was inspired, creative, and trying new things back then. 11 years later he sounds more bored than ever before in his career. I don't think there's a single new idea in Neck-man vs. Chest-man: Dawn of Grimdark, and I doubt he composed even 50% of it. I hope it's just the bland and uninspiring film that sapped his creativity...certainly sounds like it would from the reviews, so maybe sometime soon he'll find something to inspire new ideas or at least a clear emotional throughline...maybe Nolan's next film?

    Please listen to Margeson's new one Eddie The Eagle if you haven't already. It's the most Days of Thunder score I've heard since the original itself. Pure late 80s bliss!

    Was Zimmer not inspired for Interstellar? it may well be his most inspired since his melodic marvels of the late 90s.

    Nah, there's a hyperactivity and hectic writing in Powell's scores that doesn't sit well with me. When I think about fanfares I think about the Williams kind of the original trilogy. Or the ones in Lost in Space. Can't explain really, but Powell's style is way too kinetic. Apart from Face/Off and Chicken Run I can't sit through an entire album of his that I've heard.

    Although if I had your musical tastes, the point would be moot. tongue

    I know what you mean. He DOES lack a sense of dynamics, especially in his latter-day animation scores. But there are some tremendous setpieces nonetheless, esp. in the HOW TO TRAIN YOUR DRAGON scores.
