Stargaze
This film is a documentary about stars and galaxies and includes music previously released by new age group called "2002". The music is calm and beautiful, you can imagine a space travel through the universe, a really enjoyable experience if you like this kind of music.
Peaceful Warrior
Director Victor Salva (Jeepers Creepers 1 & 2) again called film composer Bennet Salvay to score this sport-related movie, unfortunately the official release only includes songs but here you can get the original score.
Mystery, Alaska
Another nice and still unreleased score by Carter Burwell for this 1999 movie. Sound quality is very good and includes the covers.

Tiempo de Valientes
This is an argentinian movie, a comedy about a couple policemen and their work togheter. The music was composed by argentinean Guillermo Guareschi, a nice work with an homage to Ennio Morricone, great score!
Pollux
For this french animated movie, composers Mark Thomas and James L. Venable join forces and give us a really great work, lot of fun and action... some chorus too! Covers are included.
Turistas
Another Paul Haslinger effort, this time for a thriller film: a group of boys and girls on vacations in Brazil had an accident and stay in the jungle discovering a paradisiacal beach, but something happens... The music is modern and creepy, nothing extraordinary.
First Daughter
The last film score by the great Michael Kamen, this time in collaboration with Blake Neely who wrote the missing music for the film, Kamen's ill stopped him. The music is beautiful, melodic and with female vocals, a great enjoyment.
Monster
Brian Transeau is better known by "bt", a formely dj that composed many film scores. Here's the promo release of his music for Monster, starring Charlize Theron (who won an Oscar) and Christina Ricci.
Austin Powers In Goldmember
Here's the promotional score composed by George S. Clinton who previously composed the 2 first parts. As the last ones, the music is based on the spy theme with bossanova. Great score.

Dark City
The complete score composed by Trevor Jones, 2CDs full of music with excellent passages and strong orchestral sound.
Have a nice weekend!
Stepford Wives
Excellent score composed by David Arnold, the music sounds a bit like Danny Elfman, lot of fun and is a pity that there's no official release yet. Covers are included.
The Boys From Brazil
One of the most requested expanded scores by maestro Jerry Goldsmith. A very nice effort that includes a beautiful waltz for the main title. The source of the music seems a laser disc rip.
50 First Dates
Teddy Castellucci is the regular composer for the Adam Sandler films, this time Castellucci wrote a score in a tropical way, very enjoyable. Covers are included.

Return To The Blue Lagoon
Seems that Basil Poledouris actually didn't compose any new music for this sequel and the director instead re-used the music for the first film, since I never heard "The Blue Lagoon" (I know I know...) I can't say is true or not, somebody?
Moonlight & Valentino
Howard Shore was the composer of this Jovi-Goldberg-Turner film, the music is sweet and melodic, I specially enjoy the final suite of 7 min. The original score has no official release yet.
Cousteau
Some websites dedicated to greek composer Vangelis say that he actually composed the music for the homage film of the french scientist, although I can't find any info on imdb or soundtrackcollector. Anyway the music has the classic style by Vangelis, great music, but some tracks contains little sound fx.
Maya
Another LP transfer and of course still unreleased in CD, the music composed by italian Riz Ortolani for this 1966 film.

Cinéscénie du Puy du Fou
This is a promotional release of the music composed by Georges Delerue for a theme park that every year performs a recreation of some historic french passages. Sound quality is quite good but I don't like very much the dialogues contained and is not because are in french, is because are included in almos every track. Covers are included.
The Red Pony / The Agony And The Ecstasy
I recent discovered that the original suite composed by Jerry Goldsmith for the prelude of "The Agony And The Ecstasy" (Alex North) was available as the original recording in a promo release of the music for "The Red Pony", a 1973 TV movie. Sound quality in both works are average.
Gold
Another unreleased score in CD but originally available on LP, this Elmer Bernstein work is excellent including different music styles and also some songs. The sound quality is excellent and the covers are included.

Pan's Labyrinth
Academy Award nominee, and by many film music fans was the real winner. Spanish composer Javier Navarrete provided an excellent score, very dark. Here's the promotional "For Your Consideration" that contains the complete music. Covers are included.
Happy weekend!
Shrek 3: The Video Game
Geoff Zanelli, member of the Remote Control team, was in charge to compose the music for this recent video game; his collaborator was Winifred Philips (¿?). The music is modern pop style.
Stir Of Echoes
This film starred by Kevin Bacon is in a way very similar to Sixth Sense, maybe that's why the composer choice was obvious: James Newton Howard. Although the score is not as good as Sixth... this music is very ambient and many horror passages, too incidental. Anyway, the official CD contains only few score tracks, here you have the complete score, and covers are included.

Taxi
If you like modern-rap-rock style score this is the one. Christophe Beck was the composer and here's the promo release of the music for this Queen Latifah movie. Covers are included.
Dawn Of The Dead
The polemic composer of 300 now with this score for the zombies film, Tyler Bates features a creepy score but nothing else... Covers are included.
Buffalo Soldiers
Another unreleased score by Joel McNeely, this time for the 1997 TV movie starring Danny Glover. The film is about a group of black soldiers in the Civil War. The music features strong action themes (with some Goldsmith style) and sad moments. Covers are included.
Mortal Kombat Anthologhy
One of the most famous videogames, and my favorite too. In 1992 Midway bring us a new game that combined realistic scenarios and characters plus new movements and lot of blood. I personally compiled the music composed by Dan Forden of all stages for Mortal Kombat I, II and III and also included as bonus tracks the fx gallery sounds of each game, hope you enjoy this presentation. Covers are included.

Savior
Another war film, this time for this 1998 Dennis Quaid movie about a mercenary soldier in the Bosnian fighting. David Robbins supplied the gentle orchestral music with some vocals, a couple action themes also. Great work and of course still unreleased.
Into The West
2006 Emmy Award winning score, the music composed by Geoff Zanelli is powerful and has a strong and epic main theme. Covers are included.
Call Of Duty 2
Another video game soundtrack (and are more to come...), here's the music for the war game "Call Of Duty 2" composed by Graeme Revell. A really surprise, great action and big orchestral music, sound quality is superb. Covers are included.

The Horsemen
Another finest score by Georges Delerue and still no CD release: The Horsemen. Omar Shariff and Jack Palance starred this film, and the music reflects some very good arabian passages and of course gentle and romantic cues as his well known style, for example listen to the track "Just As You Are, I Love You" and believe me... you'll fall in love.
Have a nice weekend!!
Small Soldiers: The Video Game
Not be confused by the also excellent film score by Goldsmith. This time Peti brings the promotional music for the video game composed by Michael Giacchino, great stuff!! Covers are included.
The Ladykillers
A very good work by Carter Burwell, unfortunately this promo is really short and includes also some cues of other scores by him.
John Scott Conducts His Favorite Film Scores
This compilation is awesome, specially if you want to know some of his best works. Long out of print CD released thru his own label Jos Records.
Fenton & Delerue Concert at Ghent

The music was composed by George Fenton (conducted by him) and Georges Delerue (conducted by Dirk Brossé and Jean Claude Petit). Includes the fanfare specially composed by Elmer Bernstein. Covers are included.

Titanic Town
For this 1998 independent film, Trevor Jones provided a nice orchestral score, some passages reminds me his music for "The Mighty". No official release yet for the music. Simple covers are included.
Shadow Hours (request)
Another Brian Tyler promotional score, this time for the 2000 film starring Peter Weller. The music is like techno and also includes a couple songs, a very nice work still unreleased. Covers are included.
