I thought it was a bit weird that the Rain Man thread was getting taken over by discussion of Jarre's No Way Out as well as a slew of suggestions of other things. Since someone else already started a No Way's Out thread, I thought it might be helpful to consolidate a separate suggestions thread for NoteForNote here, similar to the LLL/MV questions thread. Perhaps those who posted suggestions in the Rain Man thread would like to repeat them in this more specific thread?
Here's my own suggestion to start things off: a solo guitar album by Laurindo Almedia, Contemporary Creations for the Spanish Guitar, released on the Capitol label and therefore eminently licensable! Never before released on CD, which meant that for our Goldsmith Odyssey podcast including coverage of Jerry's Toccata for Solo Guitar which was originally commissioned for this album, we had to resort to buying and transferring the LP, complete with clicks and pops sadly. But it's a great performance and deserves a digital release from the original master tapes!:

The LP also features original works written by Henry Mancini and Alex North, unavailable anywhere else as far as I know. Plus works by other composers not regularly active in film, and a solo guitar adaptation of David Raksin's The Bad and the Beautiful as the only actual film music work:

Perhaps there's some other Almeida LP unreleased on CD that this could be paired with similar to how NFN is planning to pair the Comstock LP with something else on CD; I bring it up for NoteForNote because they seem more open to releasing these oddball sort-of-film-music-connected sorts of things when other labels might not be inclined to bother.

I think we should know what their areas of interest are first. Two Zimmer's and a synth Jarre (I can't recall if there were any others).

Yes, let's hope they continue in that vein. Lots of other labels specializing in "golden/silver age" stuff.

Among my holy grails are
Hans Zimmer - Bird On A Wire
Tim Truman - Miami Vice Season 5
Thomas Newman - The Man With One Red Shoe
Patrick Leonard - At Close Range
Paradise - Wild Orchid

Justin -- they've said specifically they're a label that hates labels!

"We have deals in place for the following:
CD:
No Way Out
Holocaust
The Daydreamers
Finians Rainbow (film)
In discussion for 2 60's era film scores, 2 70's era film scores, 1 00's film score and possibly a couple of straight ost reissues from a major label group. Of those maybe 2 are viewed as synth scores.
We are also restoring Project Comstock and pairing it with a rare TV Guide album of themes from the late 50s. Both were on Warner Bros.
I'd say you never know what we might release. Both of us hate labels and we prefer to keep things interesting. I will say keep requests coming, we do consider everything."
Later regarding Project Comstock they wrote in response:
"Thanks. I hope it sells well. If it does well, it gives me hope we can do other similar type releases from that era."
So clearly there is interest on their part, and 50s, 60s, and 70s are completely fair game in addition to more recent stuff. And they feel like a film music label more likely to venture out of strictly film music; hence my suggestion of the Almeida album.

Well I thought it best if another unrelated thread (on Rain Man) wasn't weighed down with it -- it was already happening.
I don't think this'll get dominated with Goldsmith requests, because I think people realize those are already quite thoroughly covered by the other labels. I know I made my own "Goldsmith request" here but that just includes a single 2 min solo guitar piece of his -- I'm actually interested for the whole thing.

Patrick Leonard - At Close Range
THISTHISTHISTHISTHISTHISTHISTHISTHISTHISTHISTHISTHIS
I'm all for any Patrick Leonard (WITH HONORS, anyone?) but AT CLOSE RANGE remains a grail of mine as well.
Full score here:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MQDZL2A5yr0&t=2521s
But would of course loved a CD with individual tracks, good sound and liner notes with the full story behind the making of the score. I have never really seen Leonard talk about the creation of the score anywhere.
There is probably not enough score in With Honors to warrant a score only release, but an extended CD with the songs plus the score would have been ace. I have some score tracks from it on a promo CD.
Cool that Leonard made a comeback to scoring with LULLABY some years ago.

And people will just request even more Goldsmith.
I promise not to.

The other thread(s) were already turning into "I want" threads, because NoteForNote *specifically* solicited suggestions!

Almeida is something we are interested in. Definitely a good suggestion we can look into.

There is no real area of interest. We approach all styles and genres as fans of film and music. I know that sounds vague and apologies for that. Just wanted to lay that out.
We could go from the Comstock Sci Fi album to the Warren Barker Exotica music to a Michael Kamen score to Elmer Bernstein or Basil. We like to work with indie producers and young composers too. We started the label because we have a vision of being eclectic with an eye towards keeping it interesting as we know you can't please everyone.

Yes. Film related music, composers or players who have worked in film scoring and other related things are an interest. We will also be doing pop/rock stuff we like too. CD is the main focus but we will do vinyl here and there. I can assure everybody that if we do a vinyl release it means it was on CD so we avoid what some labels are doing and putting out LP only and avoid having no CD out.
