@ fdfdfdfd - As requested... "Mulan" - Jerry Goldsmith. In this download you will receive the commercial version...AND...a 36 track expanded version w/ really good sound quality.....
@alchemist: Indeed, if I wasn't here slogging through a journalism course, I'd be in your shoes, so I'm gonna enjoy it as much as I can.
While I come from the home of the Eastman House, their on-site theatre can't show 70mm, so I've only seen one non-IMAX 70mm print (a showing of Vertigo that wasn't advertised in 70mm).
I consider it a real bonus that there happen to be some films that I've always enjoyed included this year. (2001, 2010 and Die Hard in 70mm? Sign me up.)
@SoundtrackHunter: make sure you watch the Cinerama Adventure doc, it's quite good. (Ironically, Dave Strohmaier, the director of said doc, just emailed me back for the article I was working on.)
Also, the Smilebox version is only on the Blu-Ray, not the standard DVD, just so you know.
@ bistis6 Hear you're the go-to guy* for Family Plot's recording sessions. Please...
I'm in the process of creating 350x-sized "folder" png's for John T. Williams. Clean 'n' crisp as possible. His birthday's Monday.
Another request: Anyone have any videos from 2nd City TV of the Schmenge Brothers' trubute to John Williams? I think they had polka versions of Star Wars and Jaws.
*okay to address everyone as if male? Don't know the protocol.
I can only assume that Vincent Van Gogh found as much beauty in the mysteries of the night as he did in the sun-spread fields of his native country. Two of his night-themed paintings and their incredible points of light (used here for album artwork) were the inspiration for the second volume of NIGHTMUSIC.

@ filmpac: I've taken so much flak on this board from one person or another that I'm just sick of it. Isbum deleted a couple of my posts for no reason that I could figure out. I let it go but really enough's enough. be regulators not oppressors. There's a way to get across the information you want without mentioning the Colonel, me, or anyone else. Also, no matter how many tootsies you count on, if it doesn't sink it, it just doesn't sink in. So, fine. Let it be. The only posts I should be putting out here are shares, thanks, and the occasional comment like talk about this widescreen event. Instead, I'm defending myself or calling people out more than any other kind of post. So...I'm taking a vacation. I need to leave for a while.
@ Tony - By all means share it @ I Love My Turntable - I thought of you as it played but had so many crazy things going on that I forgot to pass it directly to you.
I'm so glad you have it. Legrand revisits his "Summer of '42" sound and it's just such lovely music.
@Ruggo - Mixed Grills? No, no , no! We fry everything in lard - eggs, bacon, sausage, fried bread, chips, tomatoes, mushrooms and black pudding (thats congealed pigs blood) add some baked beans and a round of buttered toast - all washed down with a mug or 2 of tea. Another favourite of mine is bread and dripping - the fat and sediment from roasting beef sprinkled with pepper and salt. UK cuisine at it's finest.
@soundtrackhuntee & isbum---good news! save your money amigos. I'll have MARVIN & TIGE posted in a day or so...
@The Alchemist---I'm sorry you feel that way. Your shares and camaraderie are greatly appreciated by ALL of us here! It's weird...I think we all feel like taking 'a break' from the blog-o-sphere every now and then....I think it comes with the territory. Enjoy your R&R but please hurry back!
ps---I heartily agree with Honored General's wise words! Here! Here!
@Football (American)/ Superbowl Fans--I've just posted a couple of fun albums for 'the big game' over at 'VINYL ADVENTURES' Go Saints! or Colts! (personally I dig the commercials!)
@Dom1---What!? No 'eggs, bacon. sausage and spam? With a side of Spam, Spam Spam Spam spamspamspamspamspam and Spam'? Dude--- something tells me that you my friend are NOT from England! (I kid of course! :) )
@soundtrackhunter---sorry. I'm always confusing you with Soundtrackhunte(e). My bad.
For all the Patrick Williams fans...here's one I haven't seen posted here (at least in a long while)..... "The Grass Harp"..... http://rapidshare.com/files/346064085/GrassHarp_PW.rar
@Dom1 & Ruggo: We lived in London when I was a kid and the only thing on your recent "menu" I couldn't do was the black pudding! Wasn't too big on aspic either. But I loved the rest of the food. (I was also the only one in my family that liked Wimpy's burgers.)
@Rocket From Mars: So I was reading thru postings and came across your mention of a couple of "fun albums for the big game". And I thought, hmmmm...could he maybe have posted something by Sam Spe--, naaah! Well, lo and behold - you did!! Thank you SO much! I'm not sure what I liked more as a kid, the NFL highlights or the music that accompanied them! (And that narrator-guy's voice was pretty kick-ass too.)
Like you, the original tracks I found on eMule were at 80 kbs. The sound was pretty flat, with the most minimal of stereo and a bit of distortion, but I posted it anyway back in the first few months of this blog, to great fanfare. About a week later, I was fiddling around with the files in Roxio Music Editor. Using nothing more than a basic sound enhancement setting the music started to come to life. I added an "echo" - NOT reverb! - for a bit of bounce, and finally I adjusted some of the EQ a tad. To say the least, I was blown away at what I had accomplished. There's still a bit of distortion, but nothing too terribly noticeable. Most importantly, the tracks now had a richness that allows the music room to breathe.
But...
I have no idea how to recreate it! Not long afterward, I accidentally yanked the electrical connection out of the computer. In it's final gasps I was desperately trying to port all of my files over to an external hard drive, then it died.. Among the missing were notes detailing the settings and levels on FAMILY PLOT. I've since had that computer fixed, and scoured everywhere for the notes, but they are not to be found. This was also an older version of Roxio that is incompatible with Vista.
Fortunatley FP was among the files that I saved, so what I have uploaded here are the original re-jiggered files that were saved in WAV format. It's huge, around 300 MB, so be patient. There may be a track at the end called "Official Version" or something like that. You can safely delete that, it's the track from the MUSIC FOR HITCHCOCK FILMS Ketcham-conducted CD from the mid-80s.
I'm not sure whether the cover art is included in the file - I uploaded it about a year ago for Isbum. Here's a link:
Thank you, thank you. I'll keep and disable the 80kbps that I've got now and use yours instead. With the general interest in all things Hitchcock/Herrmann/Williams, you'd think someone would have released this music commercially by now.
@ Steven64---I know exactly! what you're talking about. To this day whenever I even touch a football I hear that guy's voice in my head! (ei: "It was a bitter cold day of destiny in the Big Apple when Rocket had everything to prove...to himself and the world as he reached out to manhandle the pigskin..." CUE MUSIC)
Oh, man... I caught 2001: A SPACE ODYSSEY in 70mm at Boston's "Wang Center" a few years ago. It was one the five finest movie-going experiences in my entire life. I wish they'd play more 70mm in Boston. I know of at least 4 cinemas in the area that can handle it.
It bothers me (especially as a proud Rochesterian) that the Eastman House, arguably the top film archive in the US, doesn't have the capability to show films in 70mm.
It's all the more frustrating because they have two 70mm projectors from Rochester's Monroe theater in their attic, from when it was a roadshow stop in the 60s and before it became a porno theater.
Outside of the Eastman House, the nearest place to see 70mm in the Western New York area is on the very rare chance Shea's Theater in Buffalo screens something. It's a renovated movie palace and where I saw Vertigo in their balcony.
So, as a movie geek, I'm loving the fact that I'm living in London for the year. (As a matter of fact, the BFI is screening a 70mm print of Edward Scissorhands tomorrow. £6.65 for students. Tempted...)
@ Rocket from Mars - I knew a guy named Melvin who did a lot of morning drinking. Good thing I didn't have a hot cup of coffee in my hand when I read that! You make me laughter!
@ kidflash & ---mcc: I agree with you guys! Hey kidflash! I'm a former Rochestarian too! Ahhhh The Monroe! Is it still standing? There was an article about it in The NY Times about ten years ago...it's glory days were long gone by the time I was in high school BUT I did sneak in a few times to catch a porno double bill or two. (for social research purposes ONLY---of course)
Do you remember that theater that was on Lake Ave (near Ridge Rd.)? It was beautiful! I saw Beneath The Planet Of The Apes there as a kid and had the movie 'zap' put into me right there and then! Ahhh the good ole days---now it's a parking lot for a drugstore...
@rocket: The marquee is, but the interior isn't. The city finally wrested control of the building from the Show World owners and shut the building down in 2002, I think.

Sadly, I'm too young (born in 1979) to remember any theater on Lake Avenue. Rochester became a multiplex haven through the 80s, and then Regal and Cinemark came in and cleaned everybody out by 1997.
See if any of these listings jog a memory or two: http://www.cinematour.com/theatres/us/NY/20.html
I know how you're feeling about the low number of downloads or not even receiving any comments at times. But what you do is actually appreciated by others as sorei so eloquently put it...
We all have that desire to have something lasting behind us, which we hope makes others happy. Heck I don't even mind seing my links in forums I've never heard before pasted-just like that :)) But the ultimate result is that if and when downloaded (not everyone) but some actually want to and even listen (!). I know I do, my friend. Indeed I enjoy the covers, too. You and Jean really have put together a serious and considerable amount of body of work.
Thank you forever my friend! As much as I wish I could be more active and stop by as much as I'd like to or upload (even on my own blog) I am dealing with some serious concerns (like serious illness of my wife)...
So what you and Jean and many others do is simply work of love and they help others, believe me!
@JM: The first time I tried to watch 2001 on DVD (on a 27-inch standard TV), it couldn't keep my attention. I had to start and stop it at least three times because I kept nodding off.
Which is weird because by that time I'd read the Clarke books, owned the soundtrack CD and had found a beat-up copy of Jerome Agel's fantastic compilation book from 1970.
I think I'll have an entirely different experience in Bradford, though. :)
Thank you for your kind words. It's nice to know the work doesn't go unappreciated...or the music unlistened to (By someone other than myself). Best wishes and many quiet prayers for your wife's recovery.
@kidflash @Jm's Enterprise @Rocket From Mars @all 70MM lovers
I've been reading the various comments about 70MM projection with a growing sense of nostalgia. I saw 2001 on Hollywood Blvd through a haze of funny-smelling smoke that enhanced the whole thing way beyond just the 70MM projection system.
I really miss the old "roadshow" attractions reserved for special films (Like "Around The World In 80 Days" in Todd-AO). An overture usually preceeded the film and the old, classic theaters invariably had huge cutains that were drawn back as the film began.
I read with interest also the comments about Cinerama. There was nothing more astounding than the old three-projector presentation (even with the seams showing and occassional different calibrations of the projection lamps that caused one or more of the three screens not to blend).
Now there was a roadshow presentation! "This Is Cinerama" began with a normal-sized image of Lowell Thomas on the center screen explaining the process, and then he said: "This is Cinerama," and all three projectors cranked up, filling the front of the theater's radically curved screen with the rollercoaster ride of a lifetime.
Last week, my 31-year-old son who works in the industry (Red Digital) treated me to a showing of "Avatar" at our local IMAX. I suppose this 3D presentation was as close as anything to that old Cinerama experience (and beats the hell out of "Bwana Devil"), but I miss the lead-up, the overture, the curtains rippling with the first few frames of projected film as they raise.
And now, I'm off to my daughter's to babysit the grandchildren. As usual, I'll bring a fistful of recently copied age-appropriate movies with me in the hopes that the love of film I've given to my children will also be passed on to the next generation.
Cinerama, 3D, Anamorphic Cinemascope, 70MM projection, DVDs, BluRay...it's a wonderful life. And always evolving.
Even after all these years, this 1970's released bootleg Lp still has some rarities. Check out the covers once it's posted at Vintage Vinyl once it's posted there.

@ruggo: Enjoy the time with the grandkids. One of the things I miss about home is spending time with my now four-year-old nephew. The kid's a hoot.
This is what I miss about presentation, being born about 30 years too late to enjoy the roadsho experience. I read in70mm.com, think of my own experiences at multiplexes and get very wistful.
An overture or intermission for long epics like LOTR and Avatar would have been nice. I remember attending the LOTR Trilogy Tuesday and being shocked that there was no intermission built into the film prints. Sure, there was a 45 minute break in between films, but it wasn't the same.
@Rocket From Mars: Been listening to Sam Spence's Greatest Hits for a day now! Can't get enough. I didn't realize a female composer had worked on some of it. It'd be interesting to see the liner notes on that puppy some day. I also squeezed in "Melvin and Tige" between NFL glory. I have the vinyl but haven't been able to listen to it since my turntable gasped it's last. Patrick's arrangements remind me a lot of some of Dave Grusin's stuff from that period. But it also reminds me a bit of Williams' own "How To Beat The High Cost of Living". That's still one of my favorite "contemporary early-80s jazz scores". CD release anybody? Speaking of which...
@isbum: I'm pissed at you for briefly putting the bug in my brain that there may have been a hard-to-find CD release of "How To Beat..." floating around out there! (kidding; not really pissed)
@stereoelf: Thanks for the De Wolfe shares! I haven't 'unstuffed'or listened to a single one yet, but I'm looking forward it as soon as I get off my Sam Spence kick.
Talk about intermissions: I recall going to a small independant arthouse in Santa Monica back in the early 70's (or late 60's) to see one of the greatest films ever made: Sergei Bondarchuk's "War & Peace." It was over 6 hours long. They showed the first half of the film, took a two-hour dinner break, and then we went back for the second half. Now, that's what I call an intermission!
@kidflash & all other 70 mm conversationees: I had a similar experience the first time I saw "2001" that you did, kid. I saw it on TV and I was about the same age you were and...I fell asleep. I tried on three separate occasions to finish and finally did, but I still didn't "get" anything about it. Later I read the novel and and the making-of book that I think someone else mentioned earlier. (If it's the same book, it had a really impressive photo section in the middle with dozens of B&W photos from the film.) Anyway, I realized years later when I saw "The Shining" and then finally read the novel that Kubrick seemed to have a habit of taking fairly dense material and crafting a beautiful around it while omitting everything from the source material that would've made the film make sense! "2001" and "The Shining" are two of my absolute favorite movies now, but I wouldn't know what the hell was really going on with HAL or at the Overlook Hotel if I hadn't read the novels on which those films were based. Whew! I also had an opportunity to see "2001" in 70 mm in Dallas 15 or 20 years ago. It was impressive but a little underwhelming only because the picture had a strange 'soft spot' in the center of the screen. Apparently it was a technical limitation due to the print vs. the equipment that was used to project it. Or something like that... Anyway, I'm glad you seem to be diggin' London! Sorry this got so long-winded. ;-)
I turned that 70mm Cinerama Festival over to a friend in New Hampshire who books a theater with 70mm capability and his response was "Oh, we'll have to do that here, then!" :)
Maybe we should start a "store/lounge" for conversations about working in movie theaters or just great movie-seeing experiences. It'd be cool to see how many people have been to the same cinemas, seen the same screening runs, share similar stories... :)
@Colonel Saunders- Yes, I checked this out, and sure enough, it absolutely is the source music for the elusive ALIEN film end credits. It's the exact recording, only much less murky, as you mention. It appears that they did very little editing to acquire those end credits; the cue is extracted from the Adagio, Allegro Moderato at 11:22 into the track, and plays exactly as it does in the film until the end of that track.
Thanks a TON for this, I've always wanted the exact source recording.
@Colonel Saunders: I began listening to "Adagio" from the very beginning and when it got to the familiar, I abruptly stopped what I was doing and got chills down my spine. Wonderful share, my friend!
@Colonel Saunders: (I just posted this comment over at the Planetarium also) Congrats on the great download numbers! You just never know when one little nugget - in your case, just 3 cuts - is gonna turn into a goldmine!
Last night I was impressed by the score for the Smallville 2 hr event; "Absolute Justice". I've recorded a track that I've called "Clark discovers the JLA". Some of you might like it. It's for reference only. The quality is variable up to 224, has minor SFX and appears to end slightly more abruptly than I would have liked, but hopefully some enjoyment can be had from it.
Yeah, I often felt the same way with regard to soundtracks. A good college friend and I were literally the only ones who even had anything outside John Williams in the late 90s/early 00s, then I got DSL at home and it all went to hell. :)
@ nemesis67 - Thanks for "Slevin" my friend, you just saved me 15 bucks! Now I wait for Rapidstink to give me a slot.
@ Southview212 - Still haven't seen "2 Days In the Valley", but it's on our list of things to rent. Thanks for replacing "The Conversation" for me. It was a crusher seeing the huge scratch on my disc. I'll grab the reJ-Goldsmith too, so thanks,thanks pal!
@ Voodoo Magic - No listing for "The Accused" @ Soundtrack Collector. You might be looking for a bootleg. I don't know of one, sorry.
@ benbriges - DeMasi very welcome!! I gotta open my files and see if I'm missing any of those. Thanks & don't hesitate to double post those in Janus2810&Segroeg's European shop.
@ Voodoo Magic - My, that is a great cover. I saw it in a theater here in Hollywood when it came out. Back then, I had access to the trade papers Daily Variety & Hollywood Reporter and nearly every review made a positive comment on the score. That caught my attention, so probably had something to do with me going to see it.
Good luck in finding it. If it appears elsewhere, let us know or share the link here.
I know I do not comment much, but I want you all to know, I like coming here.
You know, it is a shame there isn't a "listening room" where we could all go and chat whilst listening to selections of music. Like for example the recent "Alien" share by Colonel Saunders (Named after Spaceballs??).
Oh well, maybe one day - I know "we have the technology" but do we have the time?
@ Graham tfA - I'm big on "listener's rights". Some people here don't understand why I draw the line on open criticism when it comes to music. For me, listening to music is a sacred commune between you and the composer. As individuals, we bring everything we know and have become in life right into the composers world. I feel it's unfair to turn a negative "listening experience" into a crusade against the composer. Going to a message board and trying to convince other people that a piece of music or composer was disappointing or flat out terrible seems pointless. Unless, you are in need of validation for your point of view.
These kind of blanket opinions almost always lead to someone who had a different experience, a positive one. And why, you ask? Because they brought everything they are and everything they've experienced in life into that "listening experience".
To me, ranting on about your negative experience is fruitless and could influence others to avoid giving the music and composer an honest "listen".
In short, Graham, a listening room would require a lot of my attention, just to keep it anarchy free. :LOL!:)
Yes, I can see that a listening room can be both great.... and a great pain in the posterior.
Oh well, I guess the principal of "If you cannot say anything nice, don't say anything at all." no longer lives on. Shame.
I for one, have found new music, new books, new films & etc. based on the choices heard from friends.
Even if sometimes what I am recommended, I find worse than bilge water. For every piece of coal given out, there may be a rare diamond :)
But to all those that share on here, please continue to do so. As I personally have discovered stuff that I have then gone out and purchased (If possible - these limited editions that get sold on auction sites.... too much cost there!)
Anyway - I shall now return you to your scheduled programming.
"I feel it's unfair to turn a negative "listening experience" into a crusade against the composer. Going to a message board and trying to convince other people that a piece of music or composer was disappointing or flat out terrible seems pointless."
@ all: For the time being, I'm going to post new file links on my own private blog site. It is set up so you can get the links but cannot post any comments or shares of your own. In that way, I'm not taking anything away from the blog here. It's simply a better way for me to continue to offer shares to people without friction or incident.
Go to this site:
http://gtttg.blogspot.com/
Leave your e-mail address as a comment to the post you find there and I will add you as a reader to the more private blog.
Meanwhile, it's been a great half a year here with you all.....
@ Graham - Please don't. You've given me something to consider.
I started a reply and then stopped. Here it is:
Unless, you are in need of validation for your point of view.
Very few here have composed music either for an income or for personal gratification. The "armchair critic's" have plenty of places to pontificate on the internet.
Here we are in a different world. One that music is shared on request and passed along as a gift's to the person asking.
I was just suggesting a "radio station" kind of place
So that there could be music playing, that we could discover :)
Anyway - I like what you are doing here, and thank you and the others for the work that you do.
I feel I should point out, I support the artist where possible, as I am sure most if not all of the contributors also do
I have found music/cd's that I didn't know existed, and I have managed to purchase them. I have only ever been lucky enough to be able to share one cd - and that was more than luck than judgment - mainly because I get the stuff after someone else has already shared :)
I must confess it took me a while to understand isbum's policy re: expressing an opinion to the merits of a score or composer. I have always believed criticism to be valid and necessary in the arts. That without it, the arts would remain stagnant. But I quickly came to realize that on Frankly Yes it breeds disharmony. And while it empowers some, especially those who are dexterous with words and have a life-time of listening under their belts, it intimidates others who are less dexterous and newer to score collecting. This would run totally contrary to the ethos of Frankly Yes which has always been about friends gathering under one roof and sharing their passions. I gotta say this is possibly the best score store I've ever had the fortune to stumble into. Where else can I hope to find Rozska rubbing shoulders with Pretty Woman? And best of all I don't have to leave my shopping bags behind the counter.
Yup I see what you mean. Like a jukebox where folk could deposit a favourite track they were listening to so other's could have a listen. Like ThXjay has at Crime Lounge.
i am sure there is a retrospective of smeaton's work somewhere in the database which contains stuff like Picnic At Hanging Rock, Chant Of Jimmy Blacksmith and Roxanne etc.
THXjay has got a jukebox on Crime Lounge and it holds 75 tracks...you just scroll down until you find the track you want to listen to. You could rotate the track list every week or 2
I agree with isbum regarding what I consider to be the subjective nature of music. We may all hear (depending on physical capability) the same progression of notes, but what resonates with me doesn't necessarily resonate the same way with someone else.
And yes, we all bring our own baggage and experiences to the listening process. What I might consider to be incredibly beautiful and moving, the next person will find trite and cloying. We don't all cry when Old Yeller dies (I do!) or the heroine in Love Story (I didn't).
And, Dom1 is absolutely right: it's too easy to be intimidated by someone who expresses himself with more dexterity than the rest of us. It doesn't necessarily mean he's right, just that he verbalizes better. And (again, only my opinion) since music is primaily a subjective emotional experience, it's too easy to take umbrage with someone who might negate that very personal emotional experience.
Re: Listening Room
Please feel free, wherever you are or whatever your venue to use any of my compilations. I have tried to provide as much invigorating variety as possible for your (and my) listening pleasure.
@Colonel Saunders - The man to see for more Smeaton is Southview212. I am uploading for you Smeaton's Film & TV Themes and will post when ready. Southview212 posted this several months ago.
If by some chance Southview212 can't help you let me know and I can.
@Colonel Saunders - Here is the Smeaton. This has themes from Roxanne, Iceman, Picnic at Hanging Rock, A Town Like Alice, The Chant of Jimmy Blacksmith and several others.

I wonder if anyone out there can help me find some library music composed by "Peter Reno". His real name was Cliff Twemlow, and he was also a stuntman, horror paperback writer, nightclub bouncer and amateur movie maker with about a dozen straight-to-video credits to his name. About his music, Wickipedia says, Musically self-taught, Cliff composed music using what he referred to as the ‘De Dum Da’ Principle. “I had discovered that with the aid of a tape recorder, I could assemble or compose lyric and tune. My voice would simulate orchestral sounds, giving me an insight as to how it could be arranged. God, the noises were appalling. Um Te Ta, Deeple, Dum Rump Pa Pa! I was in hysterics listening to the playback.” Most of his Peter Reno material was written for the company DeWolfe and used in television (Public Eye, Rutland Weekend Television, Quennie’s Castle, The Sweeney) and advertisements. One of his songs “Cause I’m a Man”, written in 1967, later became famous when it was used in the film Dawn of the Dead. A particularly lucrative composition was “Distant Hills”, which was used as the end credit theme of the programme Crown Court from 1972 to the shows end in 1984.
@ Graham, RonH, & others: I set up the blog so anyone could post a comment, but the comment link isn't showing up. So...I've worked around it. Return to the blog & follow the instructions & you'll get an invite. Once you accept the invite you'll be able to access the blog where the shares are/will be. Sorry for the trouble.
@ Benbridges Thanks for the massive De Masi post, BUT Ritratto di un autore, http://www.mediafire.com/?mznnvdmo0dm doesn't seem to have been uploaded correctly: "No servers are currently online with the requested file on it. (-22)" Could you plz sort that up? Thanks again
In the October archives, I saw you posted "Mentor" by Ceiri Torjursen. Any chance you could re-up if you still have it? I am a sucker for "American Beautyesque" scores.
Everyone: I hope your all having a great day. Does anyone have the two cd release of "Moses The Lawgiver" by Ennio Morricone. I have the single cd, but would like to listen to this. Thanks in advance for any trouble either way. Take care.
Does anyone know of, or have a composer promo to the TV series
MELROSE PLACE (Eddie Arkin / Tim Truman / Ken Harrison) -not the VA album-
I know it's a long shot, but I've seen someone share 'Party Of Five' and 'The O.C.' so I thought I'd ask anyway. Any info regarding this is much appreciated!

@Honored General I will do, for sure, and follow your invitation. Right now, I'm on the point of leaving the house to get to the airport. Let's discuss this further when I'm back and we both have some spare time.
@PeGo I second your request for Howard Shores Fly Opera. I've seen only snippets of the whole thing on youtube in 2008, and to me, it sounded very interesting. As long as we can skip the librettos, it could be a good opera.
@Southview 212 and nemesis67 To me, "The Great McCarthy" just sounds plain morbid - and wonderfully so! And I think it's because it has this typical Australian touch which made their movies during the Seventies so distinct - exactly like many Canadian films of the era. Thanks for all your Smeaton shares, buddy: You will be compensated.

@ all: I second what Isbum is saying. He & I are "tight" and still e-mail each other outside the blog. I love & whole-heartedly support this blog. I think this place is great & has provided me with so many scores that I'm still reeling from the cornucopia & digesting them all. I hate to leave here actually and I loved the six months I spent posting here for you. I simply feel that my personality is best served in an environment with less interaction where I can offer up shares without receiving any sort of feedback. I hope you understand & come join me on my blog.....
I've snaffled a couple of dozen items released over the last few months which should be posted in the TWS but are probably of limited interest. I think the best bet is to provide a list and if you have a hankering for something leave a request and I'll post it at the weekend.

Ennio Morricone Conducting his own music in Peace Notes, a 9/11 Peace Concert - Live In Venice with the Roma Sinfonietta Orchestra, Choir La Fenice, Soprano Susanna Rigacci performed on 9/10 and 9/11 2007. Filmed in high definition, featuring many of Morricone's best loved film scores including:(The Good, the Bad and the Ugly), (The Mission), (Once Upon A Time In The West), (Once Upon A Time In America).
Morricone is traveling around the world performing this amazing concert for peace, which was conducted in front of the United Nations.
As a conductor, I would say that Morriconne is a minimalist, head buried in the score, expressionless, content with beating time and cueing certain sections or players with small gestures. (Compare to Dudamel who uses every bit of his body including his hair to elicit performance.)
But from Morricone's heart and mind and baton comes the most exquisite, sensitive and beautiful music ever conceived.
This is a rare chance to watch the maestro, surrounded by a fantastic (and huge) group of musicians, performing both familiar and less familiar film music, all of which is incredible. Something to stir the soul.
ENNIO MORRICONE PEACE NOTES LIVE CONCERT VENICE, ITALY BdRip XviDAC3
@ Parzival: Thanks so much for fullfilling my request. Everyone knows I'm the John Barry fanatic, but I stand in awe of Morricone's output. I don't know how he does it. Time and time again. He is the most incredible. hardworking, man. I also always appreciate that he doesn't let the film's budget decide his level of score. Some of our biggest composers here, won't go near a lower budget film. Thats a shame. I believe he truly does it all for the music. Thanks again. Have a great day.
"The Mummy" (2 CD's) (22/16) - Jerry Goldsmith @320. The sound quality on these two CD's is supurb. These CDR's were made about 10 years ago and I believe the source is the DVD.....
@ Isbum: I was looking back through the months and noticed this, are you still wanting or looking for "The Hanging Garden"? Sorry I must have missed your first request. Take care.
@ PeGo: Thanks for the information regarding the 'Planes, Trains...' bootleg score! I was wondering if the one over at "Inferno" was better, considering that they went the extra mile and added the songs to their compilation. You don't have to upload the missing track for me...I think I know which Yello song that was that they took the stinger from. Thanks for all your help!

http://www.megaupload.com/?d=TJ53SFRD
@ Soundtrackhunter - It's not really hard to find, seen it many times in the Lp bins.
If it doesn't get posted, I'll happily buy and rip it for you.
@alchemist: Indeed, if I wasn't here slogging through a journalism course, I'd be in your shoes, so I'm gonna enjoy it as much as I can.
While I come from the home of the Eastman House, their on-site theatre can't show 70mm, so I've only seen one non-IMAX 70mm print (a showing of Vertigo that wasn't advertised in 70mm).
I consider it a real bonus that there happen to be some films that I've always enjoyed included this year. (2001, 2010 and Die Hard in 70mm? Sign me up.)
@SoundtrackHunter: make sure you watch the Cinerama Adventure doc, it's quite good. (Ironically, Dave Strohmaier, the director of said doc, just emailed me back for the article I was working on.)
Also, the Smilebox version is only on the Blu-Ray, not the standard DVD, just so you know.
@ isbum
Thanks Bro! That would be great. It is hard to find over here in Sweden. I should have bought it in the states when I had seen it before I moved.
Cheers!

I'm in the process of creating 350x-sized "folder" png's for John T. Williams. Clean 'n' crisp as possible. His birthday's Monday.
Another request:
Anyone have any videos from 2nd City TV of the Schmenge Brothers' trubute to John Williams? I think they had polka versions of Star Wars and Jaws.
*okay to address everyone as if male? Don't know the protocol.
I can only assume that Vincent Van Gogh found as much beauty in the mysteries of the night as he did in the sun-spread fields of his native country. Two of his night-themed paintings and their incredible points of light (used here for album artwork) were the inspiration for the second volume of NIGHTMUSIC.

@isbum-- It's no secret that I love Secret Places. Many thanks to you dear friend :)
@ sorei
Thank you so much for William's Presumed Innocent.
@ filmpac: I've taken so much flak on this board from one person or another that I'm just sick of it. Isbum deleted a couple of my posts for no reason that I could figure out. I let it go but really enough's enough. be regulators not oppressors. There's a way to get across the information you want without mentioning the Colonel, me, or anyone else. Also, no matter how many tootsies you count on, if it doesn't sink it, it just doesn't sink in. So, fine. Let it be. The only posts I should be putting out here are shares, thanks, and the occasional comment like talk about this widescreen event. Instead, I'm defending myself or calling people out more than any other kind of post. So...I'm taking a vacation. I need to leave for a while.
@ Tony - By all means share it @ I Love My Turntable - I thought of you as it played but had so many crazy things going on that I forgot to pass it directly to you.
I'm so glad you have it. Legrand revisits his "Summer of '42" sound and it's just such lovely music.
@ The Alchemist - If you didn't understand why I removed the post, why didn't you write to me and ask?
You have my email address, we've chatted off board before.
@Ruggo - Mixed Grills? No, no , no!
We fry everything in lard - eggs, bacon, sausage, fried bread, chips, tomatoes, mushrooms and black pudding (thats congealed pigs blood) add some baked beans and a round of buttered toast - all washed down with a mug or 2 of tea. Another favourite of mine is bread and dripping - the fat and sediment from roasting beef sprinkled with pepper and salt. UK cuisine at it's finest.
@ All: Odd Help :)
Does anyone know who sings the version of "Call Me" that plays in the Chase Sapphire commercial "The Bet" (The one with the ski lift)?
Thanks a lot!
:)
@soundtrackhuntee & isbum---good news! save your money amigos. I'll have MARVIN & TIGE posted in a day or so...
@The Alchemist---I'm sorry you feel that way. Your shares and camaraderie are greatly appreciated by ALL of us here! It's weird...I think we all feel like taking 'a break' from the blog-o-sphere every now and then....I think it comes with the territory. Enjoy your R&R but please hurry back!
ps---I heartily agree with Honored General's wise words! Here! Here!
@Football (American)/ Superbowl Fans--I've just posted a couple of fun albums for 'the big game' over at 'VINYL ADVENTURES' Go Saints! or Colts! (personally I dig the commercials!)
@Dom1---What!? No 'eggs, bacon. sausage and spam? With a side of Spam, Spam Spam Spam spamspamspamspamspam and Spam'? Dude--- something tells me that you my friend are NOT from England! (I kid of course! :) )
@soundtrackhunter---sorry. I'm always confusing you with Soundtrackhunte(e). My bad.
For all the Patrick Williams fans...here's one I haven't seen posted here (at least in a long while).....
"The Grass Harp".....
http://rapidshare.com/files/346064085/GrassHarp_PW.rar
@Dom1 & Ruggo:
We lived in London when I was a kid and the only thing on your recent "menu" I couldn't do was the black pudding! Wasn't too big on aspic either. But I loved the rest of the food. (I was also the only one in my family that liked Wimpy's burgers.)
@Rocket From Mars:
So I was reading thru postings and came across your mention of a couple of "fun albums for the big game". And I thought, hmmmm...could he maybe have posted something by Sam Spe--, naaah! Well, lo and behold - you did!! Thank you SO much! I'm not sure what I liked more as a kid, the NFL highlights or the music that accompanied them! (And that narrator-guy's voice was pretty kick-ass too.)

@ trident
Here is FAMILY PLOT.
http://www.megaupload.com/?d=94DPQMBP
Like you, the original tracks I found on eMule were at 80 kbs. The sound was pretty flat, with the most minimal of stereo and a bit of distortion, but I posted it anyway back in the first few months of this blog, to great fanfare. About a week later, I was fiddling around with the files in Roxio Music Editor. Using nothing more than a basic sound enhancement setting the music started to come to life. I added an "echo" - NOT reverb! - for a bit of bounce, and finally I adjusted some of the EQ a tad. To say the least, I was blown away at what I had accomplished. There's still a bit of distortion, but nothing too terribly noticeable. Most importantly, the tracks now had a richness that allows the music room to breathe.
But...
I have no idea how to recreate it! Not long afterward, I accidentally yanked the electrical connection out of the computer. In it's final gasps I was desperately trying to port all of my files over to an external hard drive, then it died.. Among the missing were notes detailing the settings and levels on FAMILY PLOT. I've since had that computer fixed, and scoured everywhere for the notes, but they are not to be found. This was also an older version of Roxio that is incompatible with Vista.
Fortunatley FP was among the files that I saved, so what I have uploaded here are the original re-jiggered files that were saved in WAV format. It's huge, around 300 MB, so be patient. There may be a track at the end called "Official Version" or something like that. You can safely delete that, it's the track from the MUSIC FOR HITCHCOCK FILMS Ketcham-conducted CD from the mid-80s.
I'm not sure whether the cover art is included in the file - I uploaded it about a year ago for Isbum. Here's a link:
http://i524.photobucket.com/albums/cc323/bistis6/familyplot.jpg
@ bistis6
Thank you, thank you. I'll keep and disable the 80kbps that I've got now and use yours instead. With the general interest in all things Hitchcock/Herrmann/Williams, you'd think someone would have released this music commercially by now.
@ Steven64---I know exactly! what you're talking about. To this day whenever I even touch a football I hear that guy's voice in my head! (ei: "It was a bitter cold day of destiny in the Big Apple when Rocket had everything to prove...to himself and the world as he reached out to manhandle the pigskin..." CUE MUSIC)

@MaD
Awesome, thanks!
@ kidflash,
Oh, man... I caught 2001: A SPACE ODYSSEY in 70mm at Boston's "Wang Center" a few years ago. It was one the five finest movie-going experiences in my entire life. I wish they'd play more 70mm in Boston. I know of at least 4 cinemas in the area that can handle it.
And DIE HARD... in 70mm? YES! Imax schmimax! :)
I noticed some TWIN PEAKS shares going on recently, so here is my contribution, for completists only!

@ Rocket From Mars
Thanks ever so much for Marvin & Tige, a really nice blend of orchestra and modern jazz.
Cheers! *\(◕‿◕)/*
@mcc: That was my reaction too! :)
It bothers me (especially as a proud Rochesterian) that the Eastman House, arguably the top film archive in the US, doesn't have the capability to show films in 70mm.
It's all the more frustrating because they have two 70mm projectors from Rochester's Monroe theater in their attic, from when it was a roadshow stop in the 60s and before it became a porno theater.
Outside of the Eastman House, the nearest place to see 70mm in the Western New York area is on the very rare chance Shea's Theater in Buffalo screens something. It's a renovated movie palace and where I saw Vertigo in their balcony.
So, as a movie geek, I'm loving the fact that I'm living in London for the year. (As a matter of fact, the BFI is screening a 70mm print of Edward Scissorhands tomorrow. £6.65 for students. Tempted...)
@ Rocket from Mars - I knew a guy named Melvin who did a lot of morning drinking. Good thing I didn't have a hot cup of coffee in my hand when I read that!
You make me laughter!
@ kidflash & ---mcc:
I agree with you guys! Hey kidflash! I'm a former Rochestarian too! Ahhhh The Monroe! Is it still standing? There was an article about it in The NY Times about ten years ago...it's glory days were long gone by the time I was in high school BUT I did sneak in a few times to catch a porno double bill or two. (for social research purposes ONLY---of course)
Do you remember that theater that was on Lake Ave (near Ridge Rd.)? It was beautiful! I saw Beneath The Planet Of The Apes there as a kid and had the movie 'zap' put into me right there and then! Ahhh the good ole days---now it's a parking lot for a drugstore...
@rocket: The marquee is, but the interior isn't. The city finally wrested control of the building from the Show World owners and shut the building down in 2002, I think.
A recent photo via Cinema Treasures:

The Cinema Treasures listing:
http://cinematreasures.org/theater/7648/
Sadly, I'm too young (born in 1979) to remember any theater on Lake Avenue. Rochester became a multiplex haven through the 80s, and then Regal and Cinemark came in and cleaned everybody out by 1997.
See if any of these listings jog a memory or two:

@Kidflash
I got to see 2001 in the theatre once. It was meant for the big screen. I have the Blu Ray, next best thing.
@Ruggo!
I know how you're feeling about the low number of downloads or not even receiving any comments at times. But what you do is actually appreciated by others as sorei so eloquently put it...
We all have that desire to have something lasting behind us, which we hope makes others happy. Heck I don't even mind seing my links in forums I've never heard before pasted-just like that :)) But the ultimate result is that if and when downloaded (not everyone) but some actually want to and even listen (!). I know I do, my friend. Indeed I enjoy the covers, too. You and Jean really have put together a serious and considerable amount of body of work.
Thank you forever my friend! As much as I wish I could be more active and stop by as much as I'd like to or upload (even on my own blog) I am dealing with some serious concerns (like serious illness of my wife)...
So what you and Jean and many others do is simply work of love and they help others, believe me!
PEACE AND INNER COMFORT TO YOU ALL!
@JM: The first time I tried to watch 2001 on DVD (on a 27-inch standard TV), it couldn't keep my attention. I had to start and stop it at least three times because I kept nodding off.
Which is weird because by that time I'd read the Clarke books, owned the soundtrack CD and had found a beat-up copy of Jerome Agel's fantastic compilation book from 1970.
I think I'll have an entirely different experience in Bradford, though. :)
A Request:
Christopher Young's score for "The Gift" - not the V/A soundtrack.
Thanks in advance.
@riddim 1903
Thank you for your kind words. It's nice to know the work doesn't go unappreciated...or the music unlistened to (By someone other than myself). Best wishes and many quiet prayers for your wife's recovery.

I've been reading the various comments about 70MM projection with a growing sense of nostalgia.
I saw 2001 on Hollywood Blvd through a haze of funny-smelling smoke that enhanced the whole thing way beyond just the 70MM projection system.
I really miss the old "roadshow" attractions reserved for special films (Like "Around The World In 80 Days" in Todd-AO). An overture usually preceeded the film and the old, classic theaters invariably had huge cutains that were drawn back as the film began.
I read with interest also the comments about Cinerama. There was nothing more astounding than the old three-projector presentation (even with the seams showing and occassional different calibrations of the projection lamps that caused one or more of the three screens not to blend).
Now there was a roadshow presentation! "This Is Cinerama" began with a normal-sized image of Lowell Thomas on the center screen explaining the process, and then he said: "This is Cinerama," and all three projectors cranked up, filling the front of the theater's radically curved screen with the rollercoaster ride of a lifetime.
Last week, my 31-year-old son who works in the industry (Red Digital) treated me to a showing of "Avatar" at our local IMAX. I suppose this 3D presentation was as close as anything to that old Cinerama experience (and beats the hell out of "Bwana Devil"), but I miss the lead-up, the overture, the curtains rippling with the first few frames of projected film as they raise.
And now, I'm off to my daughter's to babysit the grandchildren. As usual, I'll bring a fistful of recently copied age-appropriate movies with me in the hopes that the love of film I've given to my children will also be passed on to the next generation.
Cinerama, 3D, Anamorphic Cinemascope, 70MM projection, DVDs, BluRay...it's a wonderful life. And always evolving.
Even after all these years, this 1970's released bootleg Lp still has some rarities.
Check out the covers once it's posted at Vintage Vinyl once it's posted there.

@ruggo: Enjoy the time with the grandkids. One of the things I miss about home is spending time with my now four-year-old nephew. The kid's a hoot.
This is what I miss about presentation, being born about 30 years too late to enjoy the roadsho experience. I read in70mm.com, think of my own experiences at multiplexes and get very wistful.
An overture or intermission for long epics like LOTR and Avatar would have been nice. I remember attending the LOTR Trilogy Tuesday and being shocked that there was no intermission built into the film prints. Sure, there was a 45 minute break in between films, but it wasn't the same.
@Rocket From Mars:
Been listening to Sam Spence's Greatest Hits for a day now! Can't get enough. I didn't realize a female composer had worked on some of it. It'd be interesting to see the liner notes on that puppy some day. I also squeezed in "Melvin and Tige" between NFL glory. I have the vinyl but haven't been able to listen to it since my turntable gasped it's last. Patrick's arrangements remind me a lot of some of Dave Grusin's stuff from that period. But it also reminds me a bit of Williams' own "How To Beat The High Cost of Living". That's still one of my favorite "contemporary early-80s jazz scores". CD release anybody? Speaking of which...
@isbum:
I'm pissed at you for briefly putting the bug in my brain that there may have been a hard-to-find CD release of "How To Beat..." floating around out there! (kidding; not really pissed)
@stereoelf:
Thanks for the De Wolfe shares! I haven't 'unstuffed'or listened to a single one yet, but I'm looking forward it as soon as I get off my Sam Spence kick.
Hello, guys!
"And Justice for All" (1979) by Dave Grusin just posted at The Master Cylinder corner.
@kidflash
Talk about intermissions: I recall going to a small independant arthouse in Santa Monica back in the early 70's (or late 60's) to see one of the greatest films ever made: Sergei Bondarchuk's "War & Peace." It was over 6 hours long. They showed the first half of the film, took a two-hour dinner break, and then we went back for the second half. Now, that's what I call an intermission!
@kidflash & all other 70 mm conversationees:
I had a similar experience the first time I saw "2001" that you did, kid. I saw it on TV and I was about the same age you were and...I fell asleep. I tried on three separate occasions to finish and finally did, but I still didn't "get" anything about it. Later I read the novel and and the making-of book that I think someone else mentioned earlier. (If it's the same book, it had a really impressive photo section in the middle with dozens of B&W photos from the film.) Anyway, I realized years later when I saw "The Shining" and then finally read the novel that Kubrick seemed to have a habit of taking fairly dense material and crafting a beautiful around it while omitting everything from the source material that would've made the film make sense! "2001" and "The Shining" are two of my absolute favorite movies now, but I wouldn't know what the hell was really going on with HAL or at the Overlook Hotel if I hadn't read the novels on which those films were based. Whew! I also had an opportunity to see "2001" in 70 mm in Dallas 15 or 20 years ago. It was impressive but a little underwhelming only because the picture had a strange 'soft spot' in the center of the screen. Apparently it was a technical limitation due to the print vs. the equipment that was used to project it. Or something like that... Anyway, I'm glad you seem to be diggin' London! Sorry this got so long-winded. ;-)
@sorei:
I just saw a post from you from the very beginning of the month. Did you follow-up comments thing not work either?

@ All 70mm film fans...
I turned that 70mm Cinerama Festival over to a friend in New Hampshire who books a theater with 70mm capability and his response was "Oh, we'll have to do that here, then!" :)
Will keep you posted!! :D
Maybe we should start a "store/lounge" for conversations about working in movie theaters or just great movie-seeing experiences. It'd be cool to see how many people have been to the same cinemas, seen the same screening runs, share similar stories... :)
what happened to tws?
@ Savanna - Click on "Older Posts" at the bottom of the Main Page.
It's at the top.
@steven64
no, follow-up comments function did not work for me either. But it does again. I agree it might be the change from january to february...
@Colonel Saunders-
Yes, I checked this out, and sure enough, it absolutely is the source music for the elusive ALIEN film end credits. It's the exact recording, only much less murky, as you mention.
It appears that they did very little editing to acquire those end credits; the cue is extracted from the Adagio, Allegro Moderato at 11:22 into the track, and plays exactly as it does in the film until the end of that track.
Thanks a TON for this, I've always wanted the exact source recording.
@isbum:
Glad Savannah asked you where TWS was; I didn't know either. I thought maybe you'd discontinued it.Whew! :-p
@sorei:
Well, I'm glad we're all "plugged" back in. I was gettin' lonely! :-(
@ The Colonel
I salute You sir!
This is a Beautiful piece of Music.
Thanks for posting! : )
@Colonel Saunders:
I began listening to "Adagio" from the very beginning and when it got to the familiar, I abruptly stopped what I was doing and got chills down my spine. Wonderful share, my friend!
@Colonel: Thanks very much for Hanson!
@mcc: Just guide your friend over to in70mm.com and I think he'll see that the one in Bradford is proving popular enough to spawn others worldwide.
@all: Speaking of Hanson, is there a good quality @320 version out there of that End Title cue?

http://rapidshare.com/files/346768510/JR-LNS.rar
(Not my rip.)
Enjoy:)
Last night I was impressed by the score for the Smallville 2 hr event; "Absolute Justice".
I've recorded a track that I've called "Clark discovers the JLA". Some of you might like it. It's for reference only.
The quality is variable up to 224, has minor SFX and appears to end slightly more abruptly than I would have liked, but hopefully some enjoyment can be had from it.

@colonel: We eagerly await your return.
Yeah, I often felt the same way with regard to soundtracks. A good college friend and I were literally the only ones who even had anything outside John Williams in the late 90s/early 00s, then I got DSL at home and it all went to hell. :)
This is a great place to spend time, but do you know what it needs to make it even better? A touch more Francesco de Masi:

@ nemesis67 - Thanks for "Slevin" my friend, you just saved me 15 bucks! Now I wait for Rapidstink to give me a slot.
@ Southview212 - Still haven't seen "2 Days In the Valley", but it's on our list of things to rent.
Thanks for replacing "The Conversation" for me. It was a crusher seeing the huge scratch on my disc.
I'll grab the reJ-Goldsmith too, so thanks,thanks pal!

Re:The Accused OST
I thought the same until i saw this :
http://soundtracklistcovers.blogspot.com/2008/12/accused-brad-fiedel.html
Tha cover art does look like an original retail release don't you think?
@ nemesis67 - Awesome gift from you, my friend! I truly appreciate the kind gesture!
@ isbum
It's my pleasure to help You:)
@ Voodoo Magic - My, that is a great cover. I saw it in a theater here in Hollywood when it came out.
Back then, I had access to the trade papers Daily Variety & Hollywood Reporter and nearly every review made a positive comment on the score. That caught my attention, so probably had something to do with me going to see it.
Good luck in finding it. If it appears elsewhere, let us know or share the link here.
I know I do not comment much, but I want you all to know, I like coming here.
You know, it is a shame there isn't a "listening room" where we could all go and chat whilst listening to selections of music. Like for example the recent "Alien" share by Colonel Saunders (Named after Spaceballs??).
Oh well, maybe one day - I know "we have the technology" but do we have the time?
Keep up the great work!
@ nemesis67 - 2 minuets to Slevin!
Downloading now - Cheers! :)
@ Graham tfA - I'm big on "listener's rights". Some people here don't understand why I draw the line on open criticism when it comes to music.
For me, listening to music is a sacred commune between you and the composer. As individuals, we bring everything we know and have become in life right into the composers world.
I feel it's unfair to turn a negative "listening experience" into a crusade against the composer. Going to a message board and trying to convince other people that a piece of music or composer was disappointing or flat out terrible seems pointless.
Unless, you are in need of validation for your point of view.
These kind of blanket opinions almost always lead to someone who had a different experience, a positive one.
And why, you ask? Because they brought everything they are and everything they've experienced in life into that "listening experience".
To me, ranting on about your negative experience is fruitless and could influence others to avoid giving the music and composer an honest "listen".
In short, Graham, a listening room would require a lot of my attention, just to keep it anarchy free. :LOL!:)
Ah well
Yes, I can see that a listening room can be both great.... and a great pain in the posterior.
Oh well, I guess the principal of "If you cannot say anything nice, don't say anything at all." no longer lives on. Shame.
I for one, have found new music, new books, new films & etc. based on the choices heard from friends.
Even if sometimes what I am recommended, I find worse than bilge water. For every piece of coal given out, there may be a rare diamond :)
But to all those that share on here, please continue to do so. As I personally have discovered stuff that I have then gone out and purchased (If possible - these limited editions that get sold on auction sites.... too much cost there!)
Anyway - I shall now return you to your scheduled programming.
What did this mean, Graham?
"Oh well, I guess the principal of "If you cannot say anything nice, don't say anything at all." no longer lives on. Shame."
It was refering to those that do this....
"I feel it's unfair to turn a negative "listening experience" into a crusade against the composer. Going to a message board and trying to convince other people that a piece of music or composer was disappointing or flat out terrible seems pointless."
If you get me?
I hope so
Gosh, I feel all self conscious now...

Unless, you are in need of validation for your point of view.
Very few here have composed music either for an income or for personal gratification. The "armchair critic's" have plenty of places to pontificate on the internet.
Here we are in a different world.
One that music is shared on request and passed along as a gift's to the person asking.
@The Alchemist
Ummm, how to leave a comment? :)
@ isbum
I was just suggesting a "radio station" kind of place
So that there could be music playing, that we could discover :)
Anyway - I like what you are doing here, and thank you and the others for the work that you do.
I feel I should point out, I support the artist where possible, as I am sure most if not all of the contributors also do
I have found music/cd's that I didn't know existed, and I have managed to purchase them. I have only ever been lucky enough to be able to share one cd - and that was more than luck than judgment - mainly because I get the stuff after someone else has already shared :)
Anyway - take care
The alchemist.
I'll second Graham. How to leave a comment/e-mailadres on http://gtttg.blogspot.com/
Thanks, RonH
I must confess it took me a while to understand isbum's policy re: expressing an opinion to the merits of a score or composer. I have always believed criticism to be valid and necessary in the arts. That without it, the arts would remain stagnant. But I quickly came to realize that on Frankly Yes it breeds disharmony. And while it empowers some, especially those who are dexterous with words and have a life-time of listening under their belts, it intimidates others who are less dexterous and newer to score collecting. This would run totally contrary to the ethos of Frankly Yes which has always been about friends gathering under one roof and sharing their passions. I gotta say this is possibly the best score store I've ever had the fortune to stumble into. Where else can I hope to find Rozska rubbing shoulders with Pretty Woman? And best of all I don't have to leave my shopping bags behind the counter.
@Graham
Yup I see what you mean. Like a jukebox where folk could deposit a favourite track they were listening to so other's could have a listen. Like ThXjay has at Crime Lounge.

THXjay has got a jukebox on Crime Lounge and it holds 75 tracks...you just scroll down until you find the track you want to listen to. You could rotate the track list every week or 2
I agree with isbum regarding what I consider to be the subjective nature of music. We may all hear (depending on physical capability) the same progression of notes, but what resonates with me doesn't necessarily resonate the same way with someone else.
And yes, we all bring our own baggage and experiences to the listening process. What I might consider to be incredibly beautiful and moving, the next person will find trite and cloying. We don't all cry when Old Yeller dies (I do!) or the heroine in Love Story (I didn't).
And, Dom1 is absolutely right: it's too easy to be intimidated by someone who expresses himself with more dexterity than the rest of us. It doesn't necessarily mean he's right, just that he verbalizes better. And (again, only my opinion) since music is primaily a subjective emotional experience, it's too easy to take umbrage with someone who might negate that very personal emotional experience.
Re: Listening Room
Please feel free, wherever you are or whatever your venue to use any of my compilations. I have tried to provide as much invigorating variety as possible for your (and my) listening pleasure.
Thanks very much to Dom1 and Buster for "The Happy Ending." Greatly appreciated!

I wonder if anyone out there can help me find some library music composed by "Peter Reno". His real name was Cliff Twemlow, and he was also a stuntman, horror paperback writer, nightclub bouncer and amateur movie maker with about a dozen straight-to-video credits to his name. About his music, Wickipedia says, Musically self-taught, Cliff composed music using what he referred to as the ‘De Dum Da’ Principle. “I had discovered that with the aid of a tape recorder, I could assemble or compose lyric and tune. My voice would simulate orchestral sounds, giving me an insight as to how it could be arranged. God, the noises were appalling. Um Te Ta, Deeple, Dum Rump Pa Pa! I was in hysterics listening to the playback.” Most of his Peter Reno material was written for the company DeWolfe and used in television (Public Eye, Rutland Weekend Television, Quennie’s Castle, The Sweeney) and advertisements. One of his songs “Cause I’m a Man”, written in 1967, later became famous when it was used in the film Dawn of the Dead. A particularly lucrative composition was “Distant Hills”, which was used as the end credit theme of the programme Crown Court from 1972 to the shows end in 1984.

@PeGo
I second your request for Howard Shores Fly Opera. I've seen only snippets of the whole thing on youtube in 2008, and to me, it sounded very interesting. As long as we can skip the librettos, it could be a good opera.
@Southview 212 and nemesis67
To me, "The Great McCarthy" just sounds plain morbid - and wonderfully so! And I think it's because it has this typical Australian touch which made their movies during the Seventies so distinct - exactly like many Canadian films of the era.
Thanks for all your Smeaton shares, buddy: You will be compensated.
Take care!

I was one of the people that received that "Viagra" email, and it hacked me off.
An Urgent Request.....
If anyone has "Consenting Adults" - Michael Small (1992), please share it.
THANKS!!!!
Speaking of Wojiech Kilar,
would anyone have a line on
a piece of his called, I think,
"The Glasunov Waltz?"
I heard it once in a documentary
years ago in film school, but never
have been able to track it down.
Thanks! :)

Help someone out? It's fantastic and I'm quite literally at wits end for it.

@Danger
I found an expanded version of the Hairspray soundtrack a while back on this blog:
http://thecelluloidcloset.blogspot.com/2007/11/hairspray-1988-expanded-edition.html
I've checked and the link is still active.
It even includes a brief clip of Pia Zadora singing 'Day-O'!
Enjoy.

Go today and enjoy some great music shares!
I have a question about video files that I hope you guys can shed some light upon.
Why is it that some files must be played from start to finish and others I can jump to any point I want?
Not being able to skip around drives me crazy and it gets to the point that I just do not watch them or delete them no matter what they are.
hi,
what happened with the link of symphony which appears in the end credits of alien
I dont see anymore
please, can somebody re up?
@ all: A request...

@ all: I second what Isbum is saying. He & I are "tight" and still e-mail each other outside the blog. I love & whole-heartedly support this blog. I think this place is great & has provided me with so many scores that I'm still reeling from the cornucopia & digesting them all. I hate to leave here actually and I loved the six months I spent posting here for you. I simply feel that my personality is best served in an environment with less interaction where I can offer up shares without receiving any sort of feedback. I hope you understand & come join me on my blog.....
http://gtttg.blogspot.com/
And thanks Isbum for allowing me to "advertise".

Being able to fullfill a request has become a rare enough treat for me here, so here's...:
Ennio Morricone -
MOSES The Lawgiver
2CD@320
http://rapidshare.com/files/348159703/EnnMorric_MOSESLawgiva1.rar
http://rapidshare.com/files/348175948/EnnMorric_MOSESLawgiva2.rar
Enjoy this masterful score!
Ennio Morricone Conducting his own music in Peace Notes, a 9/11 Peace Concert - Live In Venice with the Roma Sinfonietta Orchestra, Choir La Fenice, Soprano Susanna Rigacci performed on 9/10 and 9/11 2007. Filmed in high definition, featuring many of Morricone's best loved film scores including:(The Good, the Bad and the Ugly), (The Mission), (Once Upon A Time In The West), (Once Upon A Time In America).
Morricone is traveling around the world performing this amazing concert for peace, which was conducted in front of the United Nations.
As a conductor, I would say that Morriconne is a minimalist, head buried in the score, expressionless, content with beating time and cueing certain sections or players with small gestures. (Compare to Dudamel who uses every bit of his body including his hair to elicit performance.)
But from Morricone's heart and mind and baton comes the most exquisite, sensitive and beautiful music ever conceived.
This is a rare chance to watch the maestro, surrounded by a fantastic (and huge) group of musicians, performing both familiar and less familiar film music, all of which is incredible. Something to stir the soul.
ENNIO MORRICONE

LIVE CONCERT

@Ningue
Yes there is a score bootleg to 'TRAINS...' but I would suggest you grab the custom made complete soundtrack from The Inferno Music Vault.
http://theinfernomusicvault.blogspot.com/search/label/Planes%20Trains%20and%20%20Automobiles
Compared to the score bootleg, it only lacks 1 que ('Beds') which I can upload if you want, but it's just a stinger taken from the Yello song.
@ Parzival: Thanks so much for fullfilling my request. Everyone knows I'm the John Barry fanatic, but I stand in awe of Morricone's output. I don't know how he does it. Time and time again. He is the most incredible. hardworking, man. I also always appreciate that he doesn't let the film's budget decide his level of score. Some of our biggest composers here, won't go near a lower budget film. Thats a shame. I believe he truly does it all for the music. Thanks again. Have a great day.
Astro Boy (Complete) (2009) - John Ottman @192

blimey!
anyone got Mummy complete with decent sound (320 mp3)?
I only ask because my CDs are gone.
I have the case, but that's no help.
lol
@ Parzival....Moses IS a masterful score.
the colors Morricone creates are just amazing.
@ JJ -
I'll post "The Mummy", complete (2 CD's) 22/16 @320. Look for it later today.
@ JJ -
As requested....
"The Mummy" (2 CD's) (22/16) - Jerry Goldsmith @320. The sound quality on these two CD's is supurb. These CDR's were made about 10 years ago and I believe the source is the DVD.....
http://www.megaupload.com/?d=4OYS3GYK
@ Isbum: I was looking back through the months and noticed this, are you still wanting or looking for "The Hanging Garden"? Sorry I must have missed your first request. Take care.
@ nightflyer - Thanks man, but I got it.
Request:
The Ballad Of Cable H0gue /Jerry Goldsmith.....
Seen this in L0ssless before, but no more. Anyone have?
@ PeGo: Thanks for the information regarding the 'Planes, Trains...' bootleg score! I was wondering if the one over at "Inferno" was better, considering that they went the extra mile and added the songs to their compilation. You don't have to upload the missing track for me...I think I know which Yello song that was that they took the stinger from. Thanks for all your help!

Hi. Does anyone have an LP rip of Dave Grusin's 'The Electric Horeseman'? Thanks.
