Reply To: OSTs vs. C&Cs

#5686

I’m pretty much all OSTs these days. I sold all of my expansions. After dabbling with them for a few years, I determined I was listening more when it was just OSTs. I make exceptions for scores with no OST (like Poseidon Adventure, or Rio Conchos), or in cases where studio meddling compromised the original release (like CE3K or Apollo 13 ((though actually not Apollo 13 as I’ve gone off Horner)).

Despite my deep, nostalgic connection to the APOLLO 13 soundtrack (one of the earliest soundtrack CDs I got), I can live perfectly well without the songs and dialogue. Once I found that promo(?) score programme of 59 minutes, with nothing but score, I never looked back. But I do regret selling off my CD, and would probably like to re-acquire it some day.

Sorry to hear that you’ve gone off Horner. Any particular reason?
