Just in case your boxed-sets of Howard Shore's scores for the Lord of the Rings and Hobbit trilogies were getting lonely on your shelf, Mondo has just announced a ten-CD set of Bear McCreary's music for the first season of the lavish streaming prequel series THE LORD OF THE RINGS: THE RINGS OF POWER. Mondo first made this set available to pre-order this last Monday morning, and it apparently sold out its currently announced run by that evening. No word if it will ultimately be available from other on-line sellers.
The latest releases from Buysoundtrax and their related labels are THE GOLDEN AGE OF SCIENCE-FICTION, VOL. 3, featuring cues from Elmer Bernstein's scores to the '50s B-movies Cat Women of the Moon and Robot Monster, plus music from Devil Girl from Mars by Edwin Astley (The Saint); THE MORTON STEVENS COLLECTION VOL. 2, featuring the Emmy-winning composer's score for 1979 TV movie The Flame Is Love plus other Stevens compositions; and Craig Safan's score for the TV movie biopic SAMARTIAN: THE MITCH SNYDER STORY, starring Martin Sheen as the activist who crusaded for the rights of the homeless.

This year's winners for the music Oscars, to no one's great surprise, were Ludwig Goransson for his original OPPENHEIMER score, and the sibling team of Billie Eilish and Finneas O'Connell for BARBIE's original song "What Was I Made For?" Each of this year's music winners were actually winning for the second time, and the Barbie songwriters are now both the youngest two-time Oscar winners.
Composer Kris Bowers, who had been shortlisted for his incidental music for The Color Purple, won the Documentary Short Subject Oscar (with Ben Proudfoot) for THE LAST REPAIR SHOP. Bowers, whose other scores include Green Book, Haunted Mansion, Origin, and the currently-in-theaters Bob Marley: One Love, had previously been nominated in the category with Proudfoot for 2020's A Concerto is a Conversation.

The latest release from La-La Land - available to pre-order and expected to begin shipping next week - is a two-disc release of the soundtrack to one of the most iconic films of the 1980s, TOP GUN, featuring the first full release of the original Harold Faltermeyer score plus the songs from the original soundtrack CD.
The latest releases from Buysoundtrax and their associated labels include GOLIATH AWAITS, George Duning's* score for the 1981 two-part TV movie about the discovery of survivors living in an ocean liner decades after its sinking, starring Mark Harmon and Christopher Lee; THE DAVID MICHAEL FRANK COLLECTION VOL. 3, featuring the composer's scores for the TV movies A Will of Their Own and About Sarah (both from 1998); and Paul Gilreath's score for the 1985 action movie NO RETREAT, NO SURRENDER, co-starring Jean-Claude Van Damme.
*Not Morton Stevens' score - I only noticed this correction in the Message Board nine days later. As a wise man once said, d'oh!
Just a reminder, the 96th Academy Awards are this Sunday at 4pm Pacific Time. Music Oscars will be given - probably to Ludwig Goransson and possibly to Billie Eilish and her brother Finneas (that's my guess, anyway). My predictions are at the bottom of this column.* Please feel free to revel in my inevitable wrongness (I'm always much better at predicting nominations).
