Are there no audio samples for any of the cds on their website, or am I missing something?

It's called "apathy".

And then they come on here asking why they aren't selling as much as they used to.

Doesn't make any sense. Every soundtrack label let's you sample before you buy. Sounds a bit "holier than thou". Doesn't make any sense....am I repeating myself?

Wow. Did you create a second account just to agree with yourself in this little pity party?

Yes, you are missing something. Hellboy, Starship Troopers, Spartacus, Volcano... all have audio samples.

Well, for about 70% of those, it's probably because they're boring/bad/insipid/uninspired scores and no one would buy them if they could preview what they sounded like.

But the point is that, sometimes, the samples help the customer to know a little the CD/soundtrack/composer, and then judge whether or not horrible ... but without the samples, I think they run the risk of selling less!
Particularly, if I do not know the composer or the work itself, and I have no chance to hear some samples, I will not buy the CD ...

I confess I did not know this composer: George Streicher ....'Howard Lovecraft' (animation)... and I'm finding it very interesting this work .... many strings, original melodies and very beautiful, remind me of the classical Hollywood composers ......... I will buy!

I usually find samples on Youtube of anything I look for.

From memory, I think there's only been a handful of CDs that I haven't bought because I couldn't find samples on there, but those have been older back catalogue titles.

I'm really in love with this soundtrack 'Howard Lovecraft' ... I was afraid of something '100% synthesizers year 2016' .... but not! Is amazing, there are some dark moments, but very stylish, that reminds me a little B. Herrmann ... and other moments of 'galloping melodies' reminds me J. Goldsmith and J . Williams .... I really loved.

Well, thank you again, fellows, for the tips of the samples! One more for my collection!
