Not strange at all..
SILVA just hasn't recorded anything from THE FLY as of this date.
Most of this compilation has appeared on earlier releases
The only ones that look like they might be new would be SILENCE OF THE LAMBS and DEAD RINGERS.
In any case, it's a nice overview of Shore's career.

Exactly. It's just another one of their run-of-the-mill re-packagings of old recordings. Nothing new here.

Which is something that almost every other record label on the planet does?
Taking the master recordings they own and repackaging them to appeal to different audiences and markets?
What is your point exactly?
IT"S BAD?

I am not a fan of Howard Shore but I must admit that if the CD had included some previously unreleased music then even I would have been interested. So Mr. Thaxton I think that his point is that it does not include anything new that has never been released before. Most of us film score fans already have majority of the scores that appear on several compilation albums so unless it is something rare on it we will probably pass.
But you are making a INCORRECT PREMISE.
You are assuming this release is aimed at the FILM SCORE COLLECTOR MARKET...
You are mistaken..
It's a aimed at a broader audience who know Shore from is LORD OF THE RINGS and such project.
They included tracks from the more well known projects he has done to date that they have recorded that is in their catalog.
Also, they have done recording of the theme to DEAD RINGERS, which the soundtrack recording has been out of print for nearly 20 years and ever been available on ITUNES or such ever.
So IMHO, it's a pretty cool release that is a great primer for someone on the career of Howard Shore.

Well, so why can`t they do a release that is aimed at BOTH the casual listener AND the film score collector. WHY does it just have to be aimed at one of them.
Because one audience is vastly larger then the other...
It's not aimed at folks who think just because the soundtrack album was issued 20 years and is now out of print that it's still "Readily Available"...
It's aimed at folks who might have liked a number of the films listed on the package or enjoy the work of Howard Shore, but don't owe every last single soundtrack album he has ever had released.
Nuff said.

Yeah, in later years I've started to re-appreciate compilations like this too -- even though I'm not in the main target audience (obviously, I'm in the target audience as far as someone who likes film music). Strange how one veers a bit back to the customs of the early film score discovery years later in life.
Ah, the inexplicable . . .
