I recently came upon an expanded version soundtrack for a movie that came out in 1994 that wasn't that popular to begin with; The Shadow. Seeing this makes me hopeful that other albums will come out with expanded film score so you can hear those tracks that aren't usually put on commercially available albums. I often find that there is music in movies that is not included on something you can purchase whether it be CDs or mp3 downloads. Jerry Goldsmith's work on this album is a welcome edition and mayhap a sign of things to come.
SCORE Bored is a blog about film score and a place where people can discuss, comment on and critique the music or anything else to do with genre. I'll be reviewing albums/soundtracks, both new and old, discussing trends and contributing to the musical conversation. It is my hope that others who also appreciate film score will come together to contribute and that we will inspire new listeners to get into the "art of appreciating" the music that accompanies the images we see on the movie screen.

To Boldly Go
Been watching a lot of the old Star Trek movies and enjoyed Into Darkness so I had to reflect on the music. Jerry Goldsmith and James Horner were major players in the film franchises' score. This article explains it well. Not bad for an encyclopedia. Check it out!
