Superb score. This score is in desperate need of a clean up and expansion. Varese? Intrada? Anyone?

A clean-up maybe (and I'd buy it), but I'll have to play Thor on a possible expansion of this. This is a very solid album, and I imagine - much like THE FURY - providing more of it won't necessarily make it better.A butterfly thinks therefore I am -

About M:I2...It's a bad score and a bad album.
You're right about the former, wrong about the latter. -

I like it both ways; score in the crappy movie (what did you expect?, M:I:III? aaaaaahhhhhh, NOW you too finaly admit that GIACCHINO rules eh?
) and on album, has some very strong and effective passages innit.Love Maintitles. It's full of Wanders. -

Dracula belongs with The Fury and Jaws (and Superman) where my dream release would be a straight reissue of the original album - but with stunning sound. (Well, that happened with The Fury of course, on one of the discs.) Don't suppose it will happen but I would welcome any new release - it's a great work which people should be able to access. -

NP: The Third Man (Karas)
Santa's success may have given the solo guitar score a bad name of late, but this score shows how powerful the right solo instrument can be for a score. Technically, the zither is not a guitar, but The Third Man has drawn a lot of criticims over the years rather like the criticism of the music in Brokeback Mountain. There's a lot of character in this score, truly one of the most iconic in cinema.A butterfly thinks therefore I am -

NP: Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom - John Williams
For me this is an absolute diamond of a score which is in desperate need of an expansion or heaven help me, a complete release.
I agree that Dracula could do with a reissue and most certainly expanded.
I'll say it now, I'm an expanded/complete score guy all the way

talking so much about M:I 2....
NP:M:I 2 (Zimmer , Badelt, Wesson...)
I remember expecting a lot of things about this score, I even bough the songs album (wich was realeased before) onlyfor Zimmer track.
Then I bought the score. I expected more something like Broken Arrow, But I found a bad mix of styles.Then Badelt Spoke in an interview and he opened pandora`s box : the first chorus in Bare island are by him, Bio techno is by Wesson...
It's a bad score, an a bad album. but it has some great tracks.
I love this high-tech sound (Recently used by Jablo in The Island and transformers). It's a very modern sound,I really love it.
"hijack" and "injection" are my favorite tracks. I find "nyah" theme annoying, but in "Seville" is highly entertaining.... -

The Essential Bernard Herrmann Film Music Collection | Prague Philharmonic
Herrmann's genius is pretty well represented in this fantastic 2 disc set of his themes (one of Prague's more successful albums IMO). Can't say that I'm the biggest fan of Herrmann per sey, but I do enjoy his themes. Great film music! -

That has my absolute FAVOURITE piece by Herrmann on it. It's from THE GHOST AND MRS MUIR, and is called 'Nocturne'.

And you can find it in better sound with better performances on the Esa-Pekka Salonen album and Gerhardt's Herrmann compilation. I've never warmed up to the Prague Philharmonic... however, when they have ample rehearsal time and are recorded properly you get stunning stuff like the Tadlow re-recordings. El Cid looks like it's going to be a winner. Unfortunately, those earlier Prague recordings are mostly stinkers. If you ever want to hear what a constipated orchestra sounds like listen to a Prague recording.
One of my all time favorite Herrmann compilations is an album that was released on Unicorn called "Welles Raises Kane/The Devil & Daniel Webster/Obsession" performed by The London and National Philharmonic. Brilliantly performaned, audiphile sound, perfect selections... IMHO, the way Herrmann scores SHOULD be heard.

I agree about their early recordings but I do think the Herrmann collection is very good (the Salonen is much better - but has a more limited range, so maybe for a novice Herrmann fan the Prague album is best?) -

As a starter album... yes, I'll go with that.

The Lord of the Rings:The Fellowship of the Ring Howard Shore
(normal release)
While I like the first half of the album, I love the second half which just hits you with great cue after great cue (until enya warbles)!
Settling in to what should be a good listen, just hope the MP3 player shuffle puts on a good album after!If in doubt, let the wookie win -

Interesting... because I think that Enya's song is the absolute perfect sound for the film. A seemless blend from score to song. She was the perfect choice.

She may have been the perfect choice, but I would rather have none at all!
If you've got over thirty other instruments, then lets here them and not the human voice for a change.
However sometimes a sond does liven up a score, certainly "Ain't no mountain high enough" improves Stepmom, which for me is quite boring.If in doubt, let the wookie win -

Not really sure what you are talking about here. "Not the human voice for a change." It's not like Shore used a pre-existing song to sell records. This is an original song, in the spirit of the score and The Lord of the Rings as are all of the other songs in the series.
