I have, I believe, both of them somewhere, but truthfully can't recall much about them aside from the fact that one of them reused his Huck Finn theme from around the same time.
I love symphonic Conti, which these are, but I recall a rather generic and phoned-in 90's Americana sound to them, with predictable chord progressions and obvious contrapuntal ideas. "Rachel Portman Syndrome", I call it.
North & South, Slow Dancing in the Big City, F.I.S.T. etc. these are not.

CD.............sound quality to BOTH ................is AWFUL..............it's as though someone has their hand over the microphone ....and keeps it there all the way through the recording process...............Result : A total waste of time.......

Yes, I have both CD's but hardly ever play them cos they do sound terrible, recording-wise.
Dull, muffled...I remember one sounded worse than the other.
The music is okay, but as bobb says, not as good as some of his richer film work.
Aren't the Ambrosian Choir credited on one of them?

I actually rather like both scores. The sound on YELLOWSTONE isn't horrible, but GRAND CANYON is unlistenable.

YELLOWSTONE has a permanent playlist in my iTunes library, but because the sound quality was so horrible, GRAND CANYON doesn't share that honor. I think I'll give YELLOWSTONE a spin!

Well I think that the music for GRAND CANYON : The Hidden Secrets is just about the best thing Mr Conti has ever done! The film itself is pretty good too, and it's clear he was inspired by the images (who wouldn't be??!)
Was fortunate to catch the film when it was shown at the IMAX cinema in Glasgow several years ago. Subsequently purchased the DVD which is a decent souvenir of the thing. It's a pity about the sound on the CD, but I'm grateful that it's available at all.
