Some people dislike even great scores like "Spartacus", so what? Everyone has a right to voice their own opinion. If we all liked the same things, life would be mundane.

You never know, Bob, BTTF might grow on you after a few listens. If you haven't seen the film yet, doing so might enable you to appreciate the music more. I've been a huge fan of the film ever since I first saw it in the theater when I was 10 years old, so of course there's a huge nostalgic connection there which carries over into my enjoyment of the score. It really is an amazing piece of work, though, regarless of personal taste. Nobody can make you like it, but you've got to admit it's one helluva ride. Every time I listen to this new release, I hear things going on in the score that I've never heard before. Reading Mike Matessino's excellent liner notes also provides a lot of insight into the music, so I recommend reading those as well if you haven't already. All I'm saying is, give it a few more chances before totally dismissing it. If then you still don't like it, well, them's the breaks. No one can fault you for having an opinion, even if it's an unpopular one.

I don't think people usually have a problem with other people's differing opinions, rather than the way one chooses to share that opinion - whether diplomatically or tactlessly, or even deliberately in a manner calculated to provoke and offend.

That's exactly what I was implying. Agreed.

I am sure there are people here who feel no need to place any members of this forum on their ignore list and there is nothing wrong with that because that's their personal preference. I however am somebody who has zero tolerance for the characteristics of certain people on this forum. I will go right ahead and place you on my ignore list, and once there? You simply are not coming off. That's it.

There are plenty of others here who I can have discussions with, and ones with more positive, friendly attitudes to boot.

This is the very reason why I am a member of this forum, and I will do whatever I see fit to have a relaxing, enjoyable experience on here.

Yeah, I much prefer the 2-CD cases that have the hinge attached to the spine. It's really awkward opening them by lifting the case from the spine so that it folds out longways. Whatever. I'll live.


I don't care so much either way, I just wish they didn't break so damn much.


The problem with this new style case is, the little things that hold the liner notes in almost ALWAYS make marks in the liner notes. Before I ever even unwrap the CD!

Varese 2-CD sets are always in this cases, and it just bothers me.

We should be able to get the best of both worlds. The new style cases, with the normal style liner note holders.

Whatever though, this music is awesome!

Hey Josh: I should give in it several more listens, but I prematurely gave it away. I gave to my ten year old nephrew, who is into film music, and he likes it. Gulp!

Yeah, he really is into it. I introduced him to various scores and his favorites are Williams and Goldsmith.

I think almost every people start with Goldsmith, Williams, Barry and Zimmer when they're entering the world of filmmusic.

I got to stand right behind all of the 8 Tuben players during The TUNNEL CHASE. It's interesting that he chose to use 8 tubens instead of 8 French Horns in most of the action music. He had a HUGE string section as well.

Interesting trivia William. This explains why I always loved the peculiar harsh brass sound especially in that cue.

The Real Deal indeed.

For years the lack of a complete BTTF score never weighed too heavily on me. I was of the opinion that the BTTF 2 score sufficed. "It's got all the same cues and I actually prefer the arrangements," I thought. Well now with some certainty I can say that after only a dozen or so listens in the last week, my opinion is completely reversed. While I still love the BTTF 2 score and CD, the original cues are so much richer, the orchestra so much fuller, and the spirit of the piece is so much livelier that life without this recording is simply incomplete.
