I occasionally buy from Quartet or Musicbox directly but despite issues reported on FSM my main source for the speciality label things is http://www.soundtrackcorner.de. Sometimes I also use a German local “Amazon alternative” http://www.jpc.de They even have some label scores but are way too expensive so best suitable for “commercial” releases.
I also buy a lot of downloads nowdays, mostly lossless if the price is fitting, from Qobuz or 7digital (the latter often with better prices).
I took part the Nosferatu one and being in Germany did get the CD right to the New Year. A bit nuts it was primarily because I literally paid double for the CD including postage and custom that even was produce in Germany…
It didn’t really put me off of Kickstarters and I did took part in Leigh Philips Goldsmith ones, too. I might not choose the physical CD anymore though…
Like you, I always also thought it was supporting the project that mattered, not that you would get the product before anyone else.
Yes, generally I agree as well. But it is by now expected “common best pratice” that you get a “benefit” by supporting it.
DIAL M FOR MURDER probably can be seen as unreleased in general. But I also prefer completely unreleased things. Sadly it’s a business and they have to do what actually sells. The two Williams would be nice (the song to STORY is quite unusual Williams I think) and ALOCA would make a good compilation, all the main titles alone. TOP GUN and SCARFACE had sort of releases, don’t they?
How could I forget KRULL, that’s a favorite Horner of mine as well. Only know the Southern Cross version.
I am not surprised that you know a bunch of them personally 🙂 I have to explore more of their work.
I am totally unfamiliar with Søren Hyldgaard but I do know at least “My Life As A Dog” by Isfält.
I also know Bengt Nilsson, Adam Norden, Johann Johannsson, Johan Söderquist, Tuomas Kantelinen and Atil Övarsson peripherically who I think are also Nordic composers. I thought Ceiri Torjussen was Nordic but is actually Welsh.
I can’t say I have real favorites as my knowledge is a bit (quite) limited but here are some more or less recent TV scores I found quite fitting:
- Jacob Groth: Millennium, Ørnen
- Halfdan E: Borgen
- Fläskkvartetten: The 2nd Wallander movie series
- Frans Bak: The Killing (The original version)
- and a little older: Stefan Nilsson: Pelle The Conquerer
Maybe Aliens, Braveheart, Brainstorm, Star Trek II and Willow, Legends of the Fall is nice although a bit very saccharine. Titanic is probably one of my less favorite ones 😉
Hi there,
another fellow from Germany here (who actually likes this weather, than the usual rain ;-)) and I happen to help build this nice place respectively the look of it.
The frames are actually lightgray but depending on the screen and brightness used it could be a bit hard to see. Is this an issue as the frame borders actually are not that important. If it is a huge issue we certainly can adjust that a bit.
