Peter, do you know why the Varese catalog is no longer available on eMusic? Was it a matter of Varese's digital distributor ceasing their relationship with eMusic or Varese's own decision? It was great to be able to buy VS stuff there at eMusic's "club" prices (usually 6 or 7 bucks per release).
I bought Born Free (cond. Talgorn) in this current sale, thanks for the heads up Neil!
Hello Jon,
I talked with our sales and marketing guy at VS and he DID look into this emusic question and he said we are looking into the possibility of a direct deal with emusic. So hold on, we are looking into it. AND really appreciate you bringing this to our attention!!
Do folks know Heartbeeps is available digitally? (May have been mentioned in another thread.)
I could never bring myself to pick that one up when it was a $20 release or later out-of-print, but have just listened to it through Spotify, and it's definitely worth 10 bucks for any John Williams lover.
I would have paid the $20 for Heartbeeps, but I missed its print run. I was happy to pick it up on iTunes and is definitely worth having. I had heard a lot of mixed-to-negative reviews of the score, mainly based on the odder synth bits, but even for the orchestra sticklers there is a lot of really good stuff in there (and a lot of music that sounds stylistically similar to more popular scores we've heard from Williams since),
