I'm not familiar with Hot Fuzz but its David Arnold so it has to be good, right?
Well.... (perhaps...)
I did hear the recent "score release" and I recall it sounding really bad for some reason. Can't remember how, right now, but I remember being unimpressed.
Hope this release sounds better. Not sure how they got 2 discs out of it mind you.

HOT FUZZ: EXPANDED LIMITED EDITION (2-CD SET) LLLCD 1621 Music by David Arnold Limited Edition of 1500 Units RETAIL PRICE: $29.98
La-La Land Records and Universal Pictures proudly present HOT FUZZ: EXPANDED EDITION, a 2-CD remastered, limited edition presentation of renowned composer David Arnold’s (SHAUN OF THE DEAD, THE WORLD’S END, TOMORROW NEVER DIES) original motion picture score to the 2007 cult action/comedy HOT FUZZ, starring Simon Pegg, Nick Frost and Jim Broadbent, and directed by Edgar Wright. The second film in the now legendary “Three Flavours Cornetto” film trilogy (SHAUN OF THE DEAD, HOT FUZZ, THE WORLD’S END), called for an exciting score to support the action/comedy exploits of mismatched cop duo Nicholas Angel (Pegg) and Danny Butterman (Fost) – and boy, did composer David Arnold ever deliver! The composer’s expert blend of rock, synth, samples and live orchestra is a high-octane musical blast of action and emotion, teeming with infectious thematic material and pulse-pounding thrills. Expanded across two CDs, with a total running time of over 93 minutes, this remastered, deluxe presentation is greatly expanded beyond any previous soundtrack release, featuring a bounty of previously unreleased music. The assembly also includes three unique tracks that were specially created for the soundtrack’s 2017 LP release. Produced by Dan Goldwasser and mastered by Doug Schwartz, this limited edition release of 1500 units features exclusive, in-depth liner notes are by writer Jeff Bond (with new interview comments from the composer) and sharp art design is by Dan Goldwasser.

Thanks for the feedback. I'm not really into "groovy" music. I also listened to a suite on YouTube which I enjoyed actually. Likewise I spun Arnold's SHAFT score on YT since its on sale. Again, good stuff but not really my cup of tea. They maybe enjoyable but I'm not sure they'd get repeat listens from me.
Dose the new Star Trek TOS 2 CD set contain all the music on the 15 disc set? Obviously not the whole 15 discs worth of music, but are the episodic music represented here the same as what was on the box set? Also, really interesting LLL chose to do these as a 2CD set opposed to their normal 4CD sets. Not that I'm complaining.
