I just read one of the reviews posted for this score. I hope all those who consider themselves film music fans go out and buy this. For one thing, it truely is one of the best scores of 2000. It is also a delisciously lengthy album with great themes, powerful orchestration, and hefty dense tones with lots of varying moods. Lots of energy with a great performance by a big orchestra. Excellent stuff all over. And I sure hope that the album sells more so that the team at Varese feels financially justified for putting out quality albums like this. I wouldn't want to see them releasing stupid albums like The Watcher and those silly horror films with generic crap in place of quality albums like On the Beach. I haven't seen the movie, but got the score because I liked certain tracks on the Moby Dick album and got curious abour Gordon. I see him as A-list material and hope to see him get more big budget films to score. Boys and girls, check it out and come back to this site and let us know what you think.

I highly agree with you, On the Beach is great! I also have Moby Dick and it is good like alot of tracks, but overall it doesn't come as close as the brilliance of On the Beach. I was suprised that I found some classical music fans that really seem to think nothing of On the Beach! :O
See further comments on On the Beach here. http://www.filmscoremonthly.com/board/Forum1/HTML/000732.html" TARGET=_blank>http://www.filmscoremonthly.com/board/Forum1/HTML/000732.html

ON THE BEACH is very good, and I was flabbergasted to find it on a local retailer shelf. And, as others have said before, the jacket art is truly something to behold.. absolutely silly.

But I digress. Music = good. 'Nuff said.

What silly?

I have seen copies of On the Beach in stores (about 6 months after I purchased my copy via the net.)

NP: Along Came a Spider (first listen http://www.filmscoremonthly.com/board/biggrin.gif">)

I was surveyed by phone about Merlin and when they mentioned Martin Short's character, I laughed out loud at such a preposterous notion. Then I saw the show and I wasn't laughing any more.

They asked about another miniseries at the same time and I'll be jiggered if I can remember what it was.

Hmm The Wherehouse in my area, doesn't have a bargin bin. You mean the Used CDs?

As far as I know they weren't used CDs. There as no sign saying that, only one saying "Bargain CD and cassettes". It was a mixture of mostly pop CDs from the last few years, plus some classical and a few soundtracks.
