Here is an excellent compilation of off-beat and somewhat contemporary film music.
In the liner notes, Richard Kraft writes "I hate 'themes' albums. The mere mention of them brings to mind images of 'Gone with the Wind and Other Over-performed Classics' or '101 Strings Place Great Movie Themes Under Sedation'. So when I was given the opportunity to produce Varese Sarabande's first theme album I was determined to do it as I had always wished someone would do it.
Since so many of these types of albums sound like bad high school marching band renditions, we decided to use only Original Soundtrack Recordings or top-flight symphonic re-recordings. To that end we enlisted the services of The Royal Philharmonic Orchestra under the baton of John Scott Mr. Scott, the composer of 'Greystoke' and 'Shoot to Kill' proved to be an ideal conductor at handling the diverse program and styles".
All the tracks on this cd are from movies made the same year, 1988. You might wonder why someone doesn't make such theme compilation cd's on a yearly basis. It's been tried before, but the fact is that, by chance, some years offer a bumper crop of good musical selections that manage to sell well enough, but other years... Judging by this cd, it seems to me that 1988 was indeed a bumper-crop year, but in any case, these cd's must compete on the sales rack with other more general soundtrack compilation cd's whose content can freely span years or decades.
The main attributes to this cd are that many tracks would otherwise be unavailable and they all seem to have been chosen with their musical merit in mind (not just because the movie was popular, or simply because the it was the main title, or any other inane reasoning - its previously referred to 1988 category notwithstanding, of course).





All included.

Puedo tener un link en FLAC por favor? Gracias de antemano!

Link received with many thanks!


I would love to have the FLAC link for this please, thank you Erich.

Although I got this from another OST site, I am still very grateful that this has finally come about!

I remember seeing this whenever I went to visit my grandparents in a small town when I used to visit as a kid, in some smallgoods store that had it on audio cassette. I never really had the opportunity/money to buy it, but I always wanted it as it had music from Die Hard and Shoot To Kill on it (two scores that would take a VERY long time to become available, even via bootlegs). Hearing it now... it just fills my heart with joy, not only for the nostalgia that comes attached to this release for me, but also because it is a great selection of themes to represent 1988, and the re-recordings are very well produced, and superior to the typical Silva compilations that these would be directly compared to.

I did also have copies of two Varese compilation discs, for 1994 and 1996 respectively, which I was also very fond of (and again, the only source of music from Phenomenon and Tin Cup for a while).


As for tapoktro, I find that he typically tends to add 320 MP3 links to posts that have FLAC only... perhaps including MP3 320 links in the original post might help to prevent this. While I agree that the practice is oftentimes dubious... there has been more than one occasion where tapoktro was able to supply links that the OP could no longer provide, so ultimately I am glad for it.

Link received, many many thanks!

k received, thanks very much for the nice music in Flac.

Thank you for the link. I've listened to it and it's really interesting, a couple of nice new and diverse finds (also from films I'd never heard of) like the theme from "Da" as well as what I fondly remember from watching the film: Milagro Beanfield War

Would love to hear this collection!

I am a huge fan of John Scott (especially of his conducting work) and I would love to check out these recordings. I think they are mostly from very hard to find scores. I would really appreciate if you could send me a link. Many thanks in advance. :)
