YEAH, THAT'S A GOOD ONE EVEN THOUGH THE MOVIE SUCKED. DON'T GET ME WRONG. I LIKE THE MOVIE ALL THE WAY UP TO WHERE THEY LAND ON THE ALIEN SHIP. THAT'S WHEN THE MOVIE WENT TO HELL IN A HAND BASKET.

There's a Dark Crystal LE OST on ebay now for €89. So here's a crazy idea. What if I buy it and another 8 people or so who want it chip in 10 bucks. Then I'll make a perfect rip using EAC and we share the wave files (and 300 dpi scans of the cover art).
Fez: I am so excited about Star Whores.
Hyde: Fezzy, man, it's Star Wars.

Hmm no one ever seems to talk about underrated composer John Debney. His score for Passion of the Christ and Cutthroat Island are amazingly good pieces of work! (Those two are the only one's I've extensively listened to).

YOU HAVE TO LOVE HIS SIN CITY SCORE AS WELL.

He only did part of the score. He did the "The Big Fat Kill" segment, while Graeme Revell did "The Hard Goodbye" and Robert Rodriguez did "That Yellow Bastard". Debney's was okay (I prefer Graeme's stuff) but it was still loads better than Rodriguez's.

I very much enjoy the Shadows of the Empire score. Aside from that I've not looked into his other stuff very much though I'm sure I've heard it.

BTW...that dark crystal idea intrigues me greatly.

Hey look, a bear!

I'm going to do a legitimate necropost this time simply to state that Danny Elfman is my favorite movie composer.  And of all his fabulous works, Edward Scissorhands is the best I've heard.  Other composers are very nice, like John Williams, James Newton Howard, Bernard Hermann, James Horner, and others.  But Danny Elfman composes music so laden with emotion that I cannot find an equal in any other.

I used to like him, before he got all big and stuff.  Liking Elfman now is so mainstream. ;-)

Oh, and I love me some Oingo Boingo too.

Since this thread has been resurrected from the dead :-), I'll take the opportunity to inform the John Barry soundtrack aficionados here that one of the Holy Grails of soundtracks, Barry's score for Disney's The Black Hole, has finally been released in an expanded edition by Intrada Records. It's the real deal, folks, not a re-recording, with over 20 minutes of never-released material and a booklet with extensive behind-the-scenes notes on the film, the soundtrack, and the long and arduous journey to release it on CD, nearly 32 years(!) after the film premiered.

(Long story short: the original digital master was discovered in 2006, the obsolete 3M Digital Recorder used to record it had to be tracked down and MacGuyvered into operation, various small errors had to be corrected here and there... they even had to work around the devastation of the 2009 Nashville flood! The booklet tells the whole story in blow-by-blow detail, but suffice it to say that it really was a labor of love.)

How is it? I listened to the whole thing this morning on the way to work, and even on my car stereo, the sound quality blows away the restored version released on iTunes a few years back. And for someone who has practically memorized the whole score (and the film itself), listening to the new material was almost literally like listening to a brand-new soundtrack.

If you want it, Intrada is the only place to get it. It's currently on backorder (I ordered mine the second I saw the story on Ain't It Cool News!), so you'll have to wait to get it, but it's worth it at twice the price, IMHO.

Like I said above, it's currently out of stock; the first pressing apparently sold out quickly! If you order it now, you should get it as soon as it's available again. Of course, I ordered mine as soon as I saw the news on AICN, and got it a week later, because I figured it was gonna sell out as soon as word got around. (Fortunately, this doesn't appear to be a "limited edition" thing, unlike some of their other offerings, so it should remain available for the foreseeable future.)

Someone must've been quicker on the trigger than I was, though, because when I used Easy CD-DA Extractor to rip it to MP3 format, the track listing was already available at freedb.org. :-)
