I finally acquired my second copy of the Intrada Jaws 2, very happy with both the sound and composition of the score as well the smile-bringing presentation.
In some ways I actually like this better than the original (ducks).

Ah, Ryan, I remember seeing The Dish at the cinema when it came out - fun little film, but I don't recall the music. What's it like?

It's a light score, but nice orchestral pieces. Feel good stuff. Here's FSM's old review of it, only got 2.5 stars:
But the resemblance to the musical approach to Apollo 13 -- period songs mixed with a tinkling musical score -- becomes so obvious as the album plays out that by the time Choi's score rolls around, you're primed for Horner. Choi's self-consciously inspirational score occupies the second half of the album, and sure enough, it starts out with a distinctively Horner-esque main theme ("Main Title -- The Dish"), complete with a low-end string melody and an ethereal chorus. Much of the remainder of the score portion of the album plays out in brief bits, many of them not even a minute in length, which makes it difficult for the material to breathe. But, to Choi's credit, he keeps things simple and straightforward, and some moments sparkle: the majestic strains of "Our Vital Contribution," the escalating string and percussion rhythms of "The World Waits," and the darker, urgent "Blackout."
Unfortunately, the score's musical points become repetitive, and the music becomes more and more obvious in its emotional approach. The quasi-comic "A Brief Listen" breaks up the monotony, but it too is derivative of a Broughton-esque comedic style. Horner derivations take over almost entirely in "Moving the Dish," complete with the woodblock effects and the sharper tutti hits characteristic of Horner's action material. The climactic "The Day the World Stood Still" apes Horner's finale for Apollo 13 so blatantly -- even down to the solo vocal, here contributed by Tina Arena -- that it would probably be all- too-easy to confuse the two. Choi was no doubt fighting a temp track (unless you buy into the gushing liner notes by the film's producer, Jane Kennedy) so give him credit for at least attempting to spin Horner's music in a new direction. But after a certain point, the familiarity of the approach becomes a little too much to take. -- Jason Comerford
