I'm having a hard time deciding if Silvestri's music is rather whimsical or just by-the-numbers decoration to an already super sugar coated feel-good blah?

Possibly both?

What I've heard of the Nyman score is much more interesting.

If you want my purely personal opinion:
The music is just a by-the-numbers decoration to an already super sugar coated feel-good blah.

I've only heard the Nyman cues on the withdrawn soundtrack album, and they're incredible.

Silvestri's... well, it's by-the-numbers.

Amas Veritas from the soundtrack album is one of my favorite pieces of music - period.
(I think Yokko Kanno liked it too, as she wrote something with a very similar 'feel', penny whistle and all, in the game Napple Tale).

I would love...LOOOOVE....to get the whole score on CD.

Silvestri's contribution isn't his most inspired work.

Nyman's makes my ears bleed.

Just received an import cd of PRACTICAL MAGIC and am wondering if it is a bootleg. ? On the Owens Blossom Music label. PMCD-19982008. Contains the complete Silvestri score and the rejected Nyman score. 63 cuts at nearly 90 minutes. I absolutely love the Silvestri score.
What does anyone know about this?

Bootleg to the max....

I'd suggest just dropping the topic right now..
