Oh! Pardon me. Though hot dang, I'd buy a reissue of LBT too.

I'd rather get an expansion, since there's one (fairly lengthy) cue still missing... smile

But an expanded Balto with the missing quarter hour of excellent music would excite me even more.

There have been two Horner scores released that were digital to physical albums. How child there be three more? Wouldn’t there only be one more being this next album potentially?

Unless I’m missing something then if this next album is a Horner title that makes the three scores for this year. Yes I’m confused. Can’t ya tell? ??

Land Before Time is a fantastic score, and an amazing sounding recording to boot.

It's like a classical concert on CD (if that makes sense), and I can put that CD on any time, close my eyes and imagine the players in front of me.



Ah, I feel the same, the sonics, the performance, so good. The choral work on LBT too is so classic. It is such a rich score. His 80's work was so good.

On June 15th, Roger posted the composers who would have releases for the rest of 2018. He said there would be three Horners. Next week's title will be the first of those.

I agree Horner was in his prime in the 80's. I really hope we get LBT in the near future. There's a huge chunk of music missing. Frankly the mix on the OST was terrible. The sound is very muddled. It really needs remastering as a whole.

I'll happily voice a dissenting opinion about the sound quality of LAND BEFORE TIME - I flippin' hate it. Distant, vague, uninvolved. Choir and tremolo strings are so meager as to be almost inaudible. Many of his post-WILLOW scores sounded like this and it annoys me greatly.

KRULL is the standard for how orchestral music ought to be recorded - Bright, loud, extremely "lush and wet" with a gorgeous, thundering, resounding and THRILLING sound quality. Even BATTLE BEYOND THE STARS is vastly better-recorded than his later, more prestige scores - at least I can hear all the details, wrong notes and all, and the musicians sound like they were in the same room with the microphones!

Someone correct me if I'm wrong but I believe this change-up had something to do with Simon Rhodes producing his sessions from the late-80's onward, no...?

THANK YOU! I always have to beef up the volume when playing Horner scores of this era to be able to hear anything and it drives me nuts.

Yea, the dynamics are extremely annoying. I understand that Horner was attempting to create a "concert hall sound" but to my ear it fails desperately to achieve that sonic atmosphere. It's too vague, the lows too low and highs too abrasive. Gimme that wet, forceful CTS Wembley sound (RIP) any day instead...

Well...of course LAND BEFORE TIME sounds like a classical piece because its very Prokofievsmile
No Horner bashing ! I like the guy...and he of course does it very well..the transfering of Prokofievs pieces into a ...well..more listenable experience..but still he is always very close.

If of interest ( I guess everybody knows the pieces already )

RED HEAT at 2:40 The hole piece of course
LAND BEFORE TIME at 19:00

both from his Cantata

It's a similar frustration to the dry Giacchino sound (thank grop Fallen Kingdom accidentally got a great recording!).
