I just don't understand why you are still allowed to post here. You have never had anything decent to say.

Once again, insulting folks from NJ dosen't bother me. Being insulted by such an idiotic waste of space such as yourself really does nothing to me. So, I just wouldn't bother wasting your time.

2 Englishmen were on vacation in Denmark and they were driving at the free way from Esbjerg to Copenhagen. Suddenly they heard the traffic radio: "Warning! There is a ghost driver on the freeway. He is driving in the wrong traffic lane. Be carefully!" The english driver looked out and said to his wife: Look, there is nothing but ghost drivers here. All other cars are driving in the wrong dirrection".

So here's #44 in my collection.

Of course, it is VERY reminiscent of BASIC INSTINCT - melodically, harmonically and that peculiar synth sound. Still, it lacks some of the latter's delicious sensuality, so to speak. It's far more run-of-the-mill. Some interesting oddball meters here and there, as usual with Goldsmith.

I think the first part of the album is best. Some of the action stuff isn't that interesting. "The Elevator", though, has a cool "visual" quality to it....it builds slowly reaching a high sustained string chord, and then suddenly plumets to the ground, reaching a low sustained string chord.

This is one of Goldsmith's best scores from the last five year (in my opinion). The lengthy transformation sequences with the alternating 6/8 & 5/8 time signatures ('Isabelle Comes Back' and 'This Is Science') are my personal favourites, along with 'False Image', which was not used in the film.

I agree that this is one of Goldsmith's best contemporary scores. It actually excels in telling the story better than the disappointing film. (In fact, I only bought this film on DVD for the score and only watch it with the isolated track.)

I absolutely love the final tracks that take place in the elevator shaft. Goldsmith captured the shear terror of the story by actually making the orchestra scream. I was blown away the first time I heard those pieces because the symphony was actually shrieking in terror. Brilliant! (Of course, then they drowned it out in the film. Listening to the isolated score actually makes the elevator scene much more frightening.)

I wonder how much music exactly is missing on the album. I mean is it one of those 'worth of expansion' scores?

There is a great action track early in the film missing on the release, and also the rape scene is missing, I believe. I don't know how much else. This is one of my very favorite late Goldsmith recordings. I love the album just as it is, but would pick up an expansion.

Hollow Man could be expanded by about 30 minutes. It was a fairly long score, with a number of alternates between the film and the original CD. Personally I found the "screaming" effect to be a little too much like something similar in Gremlins 2. But I love the electric violin stuff, and a number of the synth effects really get the idea of invisibility across well.

I never bought the album. I own the DVD, did my own rip of the isolated score and listened to that. I would love to see it get a C&C release as that's how I know the score. The added benefit would be proper mastering as the isolated track has some minor volume shifts and I'd be interested in hearing the alternates. This is easily my favorite of Goldsmith's later period, I love the long intricate cues and mayhem that erupts throughout as well as the Basic Instinct'esque synth sound for the theme.
