Yes, another list thread! If you could pick just one release this year, (try) what would it be? I know I'll be in the minority here picking an animated score, but I'm going with Intrada's Tinkerbell by Joel McNeely. Even with so many great releases in November and December Tinkerbell was by far my favorite purchase of the year. The themes are beautiful and lyrical, and the score always puts me in a good mood. It's been in constant rotation.
A mainly unused Barry score for an obscure 1977 movie. Not many Barry fans could see this one coming. Gorgeous themes, beautifully crafted. Everything I love about Barry's work.
Would love to see Year Of The Comet and 'Goodbye Lover' in 2014!

So many releases... I really need to have complete release-list - or I may missed something and my answer will not be trustable Of course, as John Barry fan I can say First Love. But there was so many good CDs, that I really afraid, that I can forget something...
1. Days Of Thunder - Zimmer (La La Land) 2. Grand Canyon - Howard (La La Land) 3. Near Dark - Tangerine Dream (Buysoundtrax) 4. Castaway/Mona Lisa - Zimmer/Myers/Kamen (Quartet)
I think it is a tie between Dave and Wyatt Earp both expanded releases by La La Land. Some great scores released this year but these two really stick out.
