recording of "Conan the Barbarian" I bought it too, based on the positive comments posted here. I wasn't familiar with the score beforehand, and after a few listens realised I didn't like it.
Whch begs the question: Don't you people ever watch the films to hear the music? Everyone here seems more album oriented than film oriented.
Another thing, Graham Watt's post about Total Recall and Hollow Man reminds me once more: never trust Jeff Bond's opinion. Instead, see the film first, hear the score, and then come to your own conclusions. Total Recall works quite well within the movie, but as a standalone listen, it's a crashing musical bore.
Wow. This whole thread! Wow!

I think the last blind-buy I did was the one that finally killed my compunction for any future blind buys. It was praised to the hilt by James Horner fans.
"The Enemy at the Gates"

Goldsmith's "Planet of the Apes," and "First Blood"
Those are pretty different scores, aren't they? (Granted they can be things you hate in different ways.)

I absolutely agree on POTA. How anybody can think that is even half decent is beyond me. I know, to each their own and I'm really happy for those who are made happy by hearing that thing, but I do not like that thing.

Okay haven't actually bought that, yet. The blind buying I did was in the 70's thru the early 90's based off composers I had a good track record with. Found some gems, others were huge disappointments.
