I have to say, I am 99% satisfied with Wild is the Wind but I don't like the decision to combine two significant source cues with other ordinary cues. The vocals on Track 15 especially should have been left without adding to them so I can remove them without removing any of the score.
This is one of my pet peeves with certain score albums.

Ordered Thunderbirds Are Go/Thunderbird Six together with a couple of other titles. It's been the chart-topping title over at SAE and Moviemusic recently and this clearly shows what film music fans really wanted. Undoubtedly the better one in recent LLL batch.
Thanks LLL for releasing this title on cd. Sound samples sounded great and so is the music.
Mine has arrived, late this afternoon. Listened to only half of Disc One so far.... if I'd known it was this good, I'd have been even more impatient for it.
Thunderbirds are Go/Thunderbird 6 arrived today. What a handsome looking package.
I never really took to either of the Thunderbirds films, but I always loved the music. I remember getting the Filmharmonic 79 album on vinyl for the Pinewood in Space selections. On the new album, I love the magnificent orchestral swell that starts track 14 ('Skyship Journey - Grand Canyon to Melbourne') - Barry did an arrangement of this track that was included on the Filmharmonic album.
The booklet is excellent too - with easily one of the most atttractive and eye catching covers for Barry Gray music that I have seen.
Anyway, a lovely CD package both aurally and visually, and my congratulations to all involved.
FAB 80 has a review of Thunderbirds Are Go/Thunderbird 6 from "La La Records"*; magazine content is understandably not online so I can't post a link, but I'll put the review up ASAP. Generally positive, but it clearly was not written by a soundtrack buff (witness his unfamiliarity with Jeff Bond).
*See also the Josh Becker thread, though to give reviewer Theo de Klerk credit he does get it right later on.
