James Horner Rarities


For Horner completists, here's a great compilation of unreleased themes that includes the Universal Pictures logo (short and long version), Off Beat, Captain EO, A Piano For Mrs. Cimino, Surviving, CBS Theme, The Dresser and many more!

Miami Vice vol. 2


This compilation of themes by Jan Hammer are not included in the official 2-disc that was released some time ago. Covers are included.

The Blue And The Gray


Great composer Bruce Broughton wrote the music for this 1982 miniseries about the american civil war. The sound quality of some cues are not so good, but some are very nice.

Medal Of Honor: The Definitive Collection


Maybe the best Giacchino is presented in this awesome compilation of his music for the Medal of Honor videogames, lot of action and superb themes. Includes music for Medal Of Honor, Underground, Frontline and Allied Assault. Covers are included.

The Seeker: The Dark Is Rising


One of the many film scores of 2007 by canadian composer Christophe Beck, this time for a fantasy adventure about a kid who discovers he's the last of a group of immortal warriors. No official release yet.

Underdog


Randy Edelman composed the music for this Disney feature about a super hero dog. Is weird that has no official release yet since is a Disney movie, anyway here's the promo with the original score.

Pirates Of The Caribbean: The Legend Of Jack Sparrow


Zimmer & team are not involved here, but Inon Zur. This promo of 58 tracks includes the music for the video game, great action themes.

La Strada


This is not an original soundtrack but I want to share this compilation arranged and performed by the argentinian quartet "La Strada". Based in two violins, flute and a piano, this small ensemble performs fim music cues specially arranged that will surprise you because are amazing, believe me. I specially recomend the theme of "A Beautiful Mind" and "Sleeping With The Enemy".

Special thanks to Juan Claus for sharing this great CD.

Jade


This is the only non-released score by James Horner in 1995, what a year!!! Seriously... 1995 was the year that Horner most deserved an Academy Award, his other works included "Braveheart", "Apollo 13", "Balto", "Casper" and "Balto". Well, in this thriller Horner composed a little score based mostly in synth sounds and strings, also Horner included in the music 2 pieces not from him: "The Mystic Dream" by Loreena McKennitt and excerpts from "Le Sacre Du Printemps" by Igor Stravinsky. The source of this boot seems to be a dvd-rip.

Idlewild


John Debney was in charge to write the music for this 2006 drama directed by Bryan Barber. Debney's music (with additional credit to Outkast) is very nice with some remixes, dialogues, jazz and olddie sounds.

How The Grinch Stole Christmas


Another collaboration between James Horner and director Ron Howard, this time they bring to life the famous american character of The Grinch played by Jim Carrey. Already was available the song-score compilation on Interscope Records, here you have the promo with the complete score. Covers are included.

King Kong (video game)


One more Thomas Chance score, this time as requested is the music for the King Kong video game. Full orchestral, lot of percussion, great music! Highly recomended the first track, a suite of the best moments.

Commander In Chief


Larry Nash Groupé was the composer in charge for the music of this ABC miniseries starring Geena Davis as the president of the United States. The music is quite good, dramatic, and full orchestral.

Nueve Reinas


Another argentine composer is presented: César Lerner. This time for the succesful film "Nueve Reinas" (Nine Queens) that american producers released in the US as a new film called "Criminal". The promo music of Nueve Reinas is very good, tense, unfortunately is a very short promo.

Vanilla Sky


For this Tom Cruise film, director Cameron Crowe chose his wife Nancy Wilson to write the score, modern music with guitar makes a quite beautiful listening experience.

The Film Music Of Ira Newborn


Great compilation of this nice film composer, is sad that not too many of his works are released but at least we can enjoy here tracks from "Weird Science", "Dragnet", "High School High", "Into The Night", "Sixteen Candles" and "Planes, Trains and Automobiles". Covers are included.

Lord of The Rings: Shadows of Angmar


Coming back to video game scores, now here's a promo release of Thomas Chance music for "The Lord Of The Rings: Shadows Of Angmar". Included alongside with the music are some dialogues of Gandalf, very weird!

Canticles for Harp, Cello & Piano


This compilation of music composed by Georges Delerue is amazing, includes music for "True Confessions", Le Jeu Du Solitaire", "Milady", "Va Voir Maman, Papa Travaille" and the gem of the CD: "Interlude", in my opinion one of his best works, beautiful main theme. Covers are included.

George Of The Jungle


Now is time for an excellent score by Marc Shaiman, this promo release includes all score tracks and no songs, lot of fun! George, George, George of the Jungleeeeee....

Volunteers


One of the still unreleased scores by my beloved James Horner, unfortunately this bootleg is just a DVD rip of some cues and includes full fx and dialogue, although you can enjoy the few tracks, I specially recomend the second track from the 1:05 and the last track, that is the end credits. This is the Horner I love, epic and full orchestral, LONG LIFE DEAR JAMES!!

Sorry my friends he he he...

Airwolf


The classic mid-80 series, and the classic main theme composed by Sylvester Levay. Here's the 2CD promo release of the music, great synth score. Covers are included.

The Notebook


Second collaboration of director Nick Cassavetes and composer Aaron Zigman, this time for the romantic film about the story of a woman and her lover. As you can imagine the music is gentle and beautiful for orchestra and piano, a really enjoyment.

Beyond The Poseidon Adventure


The music for this sequel of the disaster film was composed by Jerry Fielding and never before available. This boot has not good sound as you may imagine but the music is quite good, very climatic in some passages.

Get it here!
