I was hoping this release would cause someone to trade in their "old" ost so i could buy it.
This has indeed happened!
Picked up a used copy for 2$ at Amoeba!
I really like it and 60 minutes seems just right.
But, i STILL have not seen the film. Maybe, after that I will desire a longer version of the score. (still, 3 discs???!!!)

I'm surprised you haven't seen the film Bruce. .
Ya know, I look for it all the time in the used dvd bins and it never shows up!!!
Is the dvd oop and htf?
I was one of those who saw TOMBSTONE when they both came out.
But, being a huge western fan I still wante to see this.
Someday, it will be

....... It's all here. Original album was only an hour, and the score tops out at well over two. Much of the new stuff is thematic material that was on the first CD, but here it's much more developed... very much like a Wyatt Earp symphony.
II really like it and 60 minutes seems just right.

I think perhaps seeing the film might make you wish for more. It certainly has a ton of music.
Quality is more important han quantity

This still feels like a new release to me, but I see this post started in 2013. My how the time flies. Glad to see it is still available 7 years later.

If you haven't ordered this one yet, do it now - it is a thing of beauty. The score is gorgeous and the packaging is truly lovely. Thank you, you wonderful monkeys at LLL - thank you so much.
Agree! What a great score and presentation. One of the best releases of all time.

I know an artist must develop and grow, and I get that and enjoy it in composers that I follow, but it always saddens me to read JNH (in the booklet here and elsewhere) state how he consciously moved away from his more florid, piano-based writing techniques, to a more textural style.
Arguably, the changing audience/studio tastes dictated this to some extent, but for me, JNH always did both anyway. And quite brilliantly.
From his earliest efforts (5 Corners, Off Limits, Russkies, Promised Land etc) he was mainly a synth/texture guy anyway. And they were great scores.
And although The Package heralded a more orchestral/muscular approach, that he really solidified with his fantasy/adventure epics, animated films and MNS films, he still always produced his more ambient scores alongside them.
It's like he's almost embarrassed now with his flamboyant, powerhouse symphonic music.
For me, his action writing in the 90s/early 2000s was actually better than the (then) Goldsmith style music it was emulating, and he was hitting the action beats/timings, in the likes of Waterworld, as good as John Williams did in his heyday.
I still enjoy his scores to this day, and look forward to any new release by him (although I know his News Of The World ain't gonna be Wyatt Earp 2), but I just wish he wasn't so down on some of the strongest music on his resume.
