- Comment Wow, these latest LLL selections have impressed me greatly! I won't need [b]Krull[/b] though because the previous 2-CD release seems to have everything already. Still, everything they've recently offered or are about to is pretty awesome to me. Even [b]Alien Resurrection[/b]. I think ...

- Comment Last month I got [b]Il giudice e il suo boia[/b] and the gritty bloody cover made me think, "Oh great, another suspenseful unlikable gallio score," but WOW, it has some really lovely moments. Has anyone got [b]Fraulein Doktor[/b] yet? I'm ordering it next month but I want to know if I'm ...

- Comment Then again Bond scores, especially the classic ones, have notoriously had a fairly small amount of action material. High ratios of fast-paced action is rare for any Barry score.

- Comment Should I feel cheated about the "Composed by..." credit, large as day, on the front cover?? How can they legally write that if he didn't contribute? [b]NP: The Alamo, disc 2[/b] Just as brilliant, if not more, than Disc 1 listened today. I adore the hispanic touches.

- Comment [quote][b]Southall wrote[/b] Yeah - and that's what I want an album producer to decide for me! The original release of The Omen was a masterpiece of production. It literally alternates between softer, romantic cues and horrific choral ones all the way through. Sure, I love the expanded version, ...

- Comment [b]NP: L'avventuriero, [red]Morricone[/red][/b] First listen. Will the music live up to the expectations provided by the dashing artwork, or is this going to turn into another [b]Treasure of the Four Crowns[/b]? So far it shows promise. But it's a long score and has room to grow. Here's hoping.

It's not as good as having only the album presentation, but it's better than having both the album presentation AND the C&C. And of course a million times better than JUST the C&C. [/quote] ...
