...that, after listening to it, you wished you'd saved your money and not bought it?
For me it was that 3-disc set of the "Mysterious Voices of Bulgaria".... man, a LITTLE of that goes a VERY LOOOOOOOOOOONG WAY!

Loads- many I came to appreciate tears after their purchase, and many I bought because of the hype from these boards and that I never came to appreciate.

I'm trying to resist the Rambos now that Intrada has expanded #2 because I am pretty sure I won't like them much (based on the samples and the movies) at least in the short term. But it's Goldsmith... And it's Rambo... And the board is saying how long they've waited for this...

OTOH there is something like Starship Troopers which I did not originally like much but I do very much like the expanded album.

A number of releases I just couldn't get into.

  • Return to Oz
  • The Ghost and the Darkness
  • The Golden Voyage of Sinbad
  • Gremlins 2
  • Psycho 2 (with all respect to David Sones)
  • Star Trek Nemesis

    I traded them all away to other board members for other CDs I wanted.

    Criminal Law by Jerry Goldsmith.

    We didn't really celebrate Xmas in my house since my mum died so so for years I had a tradition of treating myself to a few new soundtracks and saving them up for Xmas day. That particular year Criminal Law was top of the pile and it was utter rubbish.... absolutely hated it then and hate it now.

    Tons.

    Many of them I've managed to sell or trade off (I'm guessing literally HUNDREDS of titles over the years), while some am I still stuck with.

    I think this has happened to pretty much everyone who buys soundtracks, especially in the years we were exploring the most.

    My big one was BATMAN: THE ANIMATED SERIES. When the 2-disc Volume 1 came out, I got swept up in the enthusiasm of others, overestimated how much I would like the music, and bought it. I never complained about it, because technically it was my own fault.

    I've also been on the other side of that problem: my enthusiasm for SOS TITANIC (Howard Blake) got me defending it to to a poster who couldn't see what the fuss was about. I did such a good job of praising the CD that he ordered it. And it wasn't his cup of tea. I felt bad.

    Heavy Metal, Elmer Bernstein. I've never seen the film (still haven't, don't really want to), but it was Bernstein & everyone was going on about it. It did absolutely nothing for me. Oh & Cutthroat Island some years ago, I only bought it because I hadn't bought a soundtrack for a while, again, nothing. And it's no good someone saying, oh that's really good, it may be good for them, but music is so personal, I just don't blind buy anymore.

    My only blind buys are inexpensive ones, so it is no big deal.

    Whenever I pay higher prices for an album, I know what I'm getting into.

    Forever Young

    I like maybe one or two tracks on it...but, hey, it's Goldsmith. Pretty saccharine though.

    The first album, 1992, in the collaboration project between Bernard Sumner and Johnny Marr "Electronic",with a couple guest vocal tracks with Neil Tennant from PSB. It is a really fantastic album, interesting and very musical throughout, and indeed pretty electronic, with mixes of guitars and some other acoustics. The one to buy is the expanded 2 cd version, with a second disc of remixes and B sides. It is somewhat N.O. flavored, but still different, and I like it very much. And recording and mastering on the set is really superb, the depth of the bass, and all the way up, perfectly clear and impressive.
