Do you even listen to these CD's Thor!!!???
Besides the quirky Main Theme, there's classic Williams chase music.
Gorgeous, ethereal heavenly choir.
A CE3K-like conspiracy/trucks theme.
Ominous The Fury style tension and suspense tracks.
The whole CD is friggin great.
I think you need to listen with better ears than that!

I've always felt he's had like two careers, the 60's and 70's and then everything after. one man who has reached the pinnacle of his career time and time again in my humble opinion.

I picked up, for $1.99, a pristine copy of "The Accidental Tourist." I remember seeing this film in the theatre when it was released, and I recall neither particularly liking it nor particularly disliking it. I haven't seen it since and have no idea how it has aged.
Before parting with my two clams, I scanned the back cover to make sure that there was no Spielberg involvement. Thankfully, there was not. The date on the back, however, terrified me, as it comes from that most dreaded of decades.
This album is very melancholy and understated. It almost has a European sensibility, until you get to the last track on side 1, where you have to be reminded that it is John Williams you are listening to. (Does he always do this at the end of side 1?)
Anyway, a pleasant score, especially side 2 (until he reminds us that it's Williams again). Worth two bucks.

Well, I'm celebrating John Williams' birthday by purchasing his greatest film score - his 1972 score to Robert Altman's "Images."
Both the CD and LP go for a lot, but you can buy a lossless download of the album on Qobuz from BSX Records and Tapes.
We are now listening to Wes Montgomery's oft-maligned CTI albums, but "Images" will be spun once a bottle of wine is uncorked.
Onya is assembling quite a John Williams collection!
Images is a bitch and Wes Montgomery was one of my late husband's favorite guitar players.

I've told my IMAGES story here before, but I'll repeat it so as to show that it's true. Nobody tells the same lie twice. Well I don't. My dear wife doesn't really know an awful lot about film music. In that sense she's a real person, grounded in reality. But she does know that I like John Williams and that John Williams scored IMAGES.
One birthday several moons ago, I opened my present from her. It was IMAGES! By John Williams! But it was the wrong IMAGES and the wrong John Williams. ("Images - The best-selling compilation of the popular guitarist's classiest works, from 'Cavatina' to 'House of the Rising Sun' ")

Record labels should be smarter than that.
Was it any good?
hey, once I ordered the LP of Born on the Fourth of July, the album cover was right but the record inside was Slam Slam!! Whoa what a bummer
eventually Wherehouse Records made it right. Wherehouse a blast from the past.
