No kidding, g-ride9000 by Trazadone	May 5th, 2008 09:59:17 AM
Tell me when John Williams is giving a performance.
It's ironic that you would say that, Trazadone by Corterville	May 5th, 2008 10:09:09 AM
The presale for John Williams's concert at the Hollywood Bowl goes on sale today at 10a.m. pacific time.
The Abyss... by casinoskunk	May 5th, 2008 10:12:29 AM
Is on the 20th Anniversary 4 disc set, which is still available. Scorekeeper, you going? i am.
I am going to suck Giacchino's dick by therealkumar	May 5th, 2008 11:04:06 AM
Everyone, I plan on sucking Michael Giacchino's dick at this event. Be there!
scorekeeper what happened to ROAR!? by logicalnoise01	May 5th, 2008 11:15:24 AM
It was pulled before I was able to but it off of itunes.
Thanks for the tip, Corterville by Trazadone	May 5th, 2008 11:49:41 AM
Alas, I live in crappy Rhode Island!
a christophe beck rant by Bouncy X	May 5th, 2008 12:06:20 PM
they really need to release a disc or collection of his work on Buffy. the music in the first season was so terrible and cheesy it actually makes re-watching those episodes almost impossible. but once he came on board in season 2, along with the other composers that season, the music was suddenly awesome and grande and epic. and then seasons 3,4,5 and his contributions to 6 were just amazing. and he must have made a huge impact because it was only a few years after the end of the series that i relized he wasnt involved with 99% of season 6 or any of season 7. hell its only through watch the box set of the series that i realized season 2 wasn't all his. i dont know if the other composers did on purpose but their music sounded like his and made it all flow better. for a show that used something like 6-7 different composers throughout its 7yr run, its a testament to Beck that he's the first name i think of for that show's score. anyway yeah, if they cant make a full on Buffy score album, least give us his contributions. and on the whedon front, nice to see Serenity represented there.
elf? stealth? by frankenfickle	May 5th, 2008 12:43:04 PM
what is this?
Crapola. by Half-Baked-Goggle-Box-Do-Gooder	May 5th, 2008 01:12:57 PM
What a Non-Event. "I KNOW WHO KILLED ME"? "EVAN ALMIGHTY"? Please. This is Varese Sarabande, but they couldn't sneak in any Jerry Goldsmith "Aliens" or Tangerine Dream? Sounds like a High-Profile Ripoff Project to me.....
John Williams by Corterville	May 5th, 2008 01:52:08 PM
You can purchase them on Ticketmaster now. You'll need a password for the presale, which unfortunately I don't know. However, there are websites that sell presale passwords for a couple of bucks. If my wife lets me purchase tickets this week (which I highly doubt)I'll find a password and post it here. In the meantime, maybe some nice Talkbacker will post one. If you don't feel the desire to search for a password, you can wait til the public sale begins, which is next week sometime.
I'd love to see Tangerine Dream! by Trazadone	May 5th, 2008 02:05:50 PM
Has anyone?
To : Trazadone Please die. by IAmJack'sUserID	May 5th, 2008 03:12:58 PM
Boring? Go back to whatever pop emo flavor of the day music you listen to. Giancchino is awesome. Next closest thing we have to a modern John Williams.

try checking out the 9 min version over at the ROAR! wiki page
Sounds like a good CD by finky089	May 5th, 2008 05:22:01 PM
I would certainly put scores to Aliens and The Abyss on a list of great music, but perhaps they put some less popular titles on this disk becasue the y know the die hards already own the Vaeres versions of the others. I love my Aliens score, but I'll pop it in specifically when I want to hear it. This compilation is great for sampling some "choice cuts" off other albums people are less slikely to have (but may decide to buy after hearing something they like on here.)
damn, all my TYPOS up there ----^ by finky089	May 5th, 2008 05:23:49 PM
but I think you get the point anyway. The point is PROOFREADING IS FOR SUCKERS (despite my remorse).
Whatever, IAmJack'sUserID by Trazadone	May 5th, 2008 05:31:31 PM
Enjoy this borefest for the both of us.
WTF! The Road Warrior- Brian May by Marq22	May 5th, 2008 07:49:04 PM
Isn't The Road Warrior and Mad Max a Varabese release? A truly badass Score if there ever was, especially The Road Warrior main theme.
What?! Gotham Knight, EXPLAIN yourself! by GenPion	May 5th, 2008 08:45:29 PM
I don't see anything on the site about being able to order signed CD's. Unless your on a different site. I was on the Label's site and they charge like $19 for the Lost Season 3 soundtrack and there was nothing about it including a signature.
Okay , pay attention by m_prevette	May 6th, 2008 08:29:40 AM
The Varese 30th anniversary set is a collection of music from the LAST FIVE YEARS of the label only. Their previous 4 disc sets for the 25th anniversary contained more Goldsmith, music from The Abyss, etc. This is a pretty damn good set for anyone who enjoys film music, not Juno-loving-Emo-crap or Hard-rock-boring-as-hell-head- banging or Rap-shit... Varese never released Alien by Goldsmith ( except for a few tracks on the Goldsmith @ Fox Box, and a few rerecorded tracks), so that's another reason why it's not there, same with TD, they've not released a TD score in years.
More Composers by ScoreKeeper	May 6th, 2008 12:26:56 PM
I got word today that Marc Shaiman and Edward Shearmur have been added to the list of composers attending the event.
