A friend who works at in media wanted to know if I wanted to hear the advance of this.
Without looking like a total freak, I took two deep breaths and used my calm voice and said, "Sure, why not?"
What can I say? It's not revolutionary Williams, but it sure is the jazziest I've heard him. Some parts sound like "Sabrina" and others sound like "Attack of the Clone." Impossible, but there it is. The score it most resembles in tone is Bill Conti's music to The Tomas Crown Affair.
The bad news is that the 62:26 long CD is riddled with source music. But, if you know what these songs sound, then you know the sound Williams is going for in the title cue. There's songs from Frank Sinatra, Judy Garland, Stan Getz, Dusty Springfield.
His best score this year is still "Attack of the Clones" with Oscar buzz going to "Minority Report," but this one is pretty nice stuff.
I had to give the CD back. Sigh.

Thank you for making a reference to Sabrina. I assumed that nobody else had really cared about it.
As for this year, I prefer Minority Report over AOTC, simply because i think it is a nice departure and the end title theme is so...transporting, if that's the right word. It embodies contentment. If ever I am on a Martha Stewart quality New England beach or something, I'll listen to it - just the end though.

I absolutely love this score, and early on acquired one of the FYC cd's that mercifully lacks the source cues. Top notch.

Thank God you didn't have to suffer through the songs by such hacks as Antonio Carlos Jobim, Burt Bacharach, Nat "King" Cole, and Frank Sinatra.
Hey, there's nothing wrong with those songs, and in fact, I love them all, but I like having the option of playing the score without interruption. I also have the commercial release and enjoy giving it a spin from time to time.

I just listened to the main title to this a few nights ago for the first time in a while.... not as good as I remember it being. Never bought the CD.... never will!
