for someone who's supposedly so original and sophisticated in a sea of hack film composers, one Rosenman score tends to sound fairly similar to another (the overt borrowings from his LotR score in Star Trek IV, for example).

I'll certainly agree with that - he does tend to sound the same! Call it "style" perhaps, but I don't think I could ever listen to a 2 day Rosenman marathon!

A used CD shop I troll has a copy of FANTASTIC VOYAGE (FSM) for 10.00 (Cdn.). I already have it. Over the years I have picked up WITCHES OF EASTWICK, ALEXANDER'S RAGTIME BAND (SAE), and THE CONVERSATION (Intrada) - all for $10.00. Whenever I make a find of a rarity, I am always a little uncomfortable because I am wondering if this is part of someone's stolen collection that is being sold for pocket change. It happens. There are legal screening mechanisms in place for the sale of used CDs, but I am doubtful whether they are always adhered to.

PS: Ironically, I don't much care for any of the Apes movies except for the first one, which was great. It's the music I appreciate, not the movies.[/quote]

Mosst people don't. I'm with Chuck Heston in the opinion that they should've left well enough alone with the franchise, but it was a cash cow for Fox, and as the movies are there, they are mildly entertaining on a diminishing scale with each release. Like a lot of genre stuff, the music stands on it's own.

That about sums it up. My sentiments exactly. The apes sequels have some entertainment value, because they are weird and unconventional, but compared to the first one, which is deservedly a classic, they pale.

However, when FSM released the Rosenman scores (and the Tom Scott one) for the apes series, it was a dream come true. Nothing against Williams' Poseidon Adventure, but Rosenman's apes scores are more up my alley.

I just had a lucky day at the cd store, but more with current releases than rare.

I had gone to buy ALL ABOUT EVE at full price but with a $2-off coupon. I thought I was having a good day, since cd store coupons don't happen too often, to me anyway, and I could only afford to buy one, so the discount made it a good deal.

So I start to look about for others just in case a more desirable title came up. What did I find? ABOVE AND BEYOND, THE SWAN, COBWEB/EDGE OF THE CITY, THE PRODIGAL, HOME FROM THE HILL and THE BEST OF EVERYTHING. For $10 apiece (used)!

I wasted no time ditching the full-price EVE and buying them all. I'll be avoiding that store for a while, since I'm not in the financial shape to have THAT much luck again!
