Thread: New purchase

Since I am the one who suggested the new forum, I'll start a discussion. I just purchased the soundtrack to the film Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow. I haven't seen the movie, but the music is magnificent. Has anyone heard the soundtrack, or seen the film by any chance? It's also the first time I had heard of the composer Edward Shearmur, who Wikipedia shows to have worked with Michael Kamen.

Highly recommended, especially for all the John Williams fans.

the movie was great fun for me & my son. it's worth a viewing.

Describe the music,I'm curious.

It's almost the same style as a lot of the music from Star Wars. You can listen to excerpts here.

Here is a list of some favorites of those in my collection, in no particular order:

Sky Captain... (aforementioned)
Deep Blue Geoge Fenton
Cutthroat Island Debney
Fargo Burwell
Jurassic Park Williams
1941 Williams
Star Wars (pretty much all of them) Williams
The Musketeer Arnold
Jurassic Park 3 Don Davis
Van Helsing Silvestri
Jaws Williams
Born of the Fourth of July Williams
Planet of the Apes Elfman
The Patriot Williams
Batman Elfman
Far and Away Williams
Mission: Impossible Elfman
Black Beauty Elfman

I have parts of it, just not the whole score. I like the JP3 score, he just isn't who I would consider a favorite overall.

Planet of the Apes Elfman
Batman Elfman
Mission: Impossible Elfman
Black Beauty Elfman[/QUOTE]

yeah Elfman did a great job then but i dont like him as much since charlie and the chocolate factory came out. I just feel that the oompa loompa music ruined it where as the in the Gene Wylder version the music gave it its glory.

I've never heard that one. I tend to shy away from soundtracks with vocals, with very few exceptions--The Nightmare Before Christmas being one of them. I should have mentioned it previously, but forgot I had it.
