Hopeful Resurrection

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.

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!
