Burt (Secret Chiefs 3 – “Book of Horizons”)
Casanova by Nino Rota. All Elfman fans should experience it.
Sample here:

Not to mention that it’s Danny Elfman’s all-time favorite score, and that passages from “Forbidden Zone” and “Big Top Pee-Wee” (among much of his work) are clearly inspired by it. Check it out!

Muse – Absolution
To name a few:
Patrick Doyle – A Little Princess & Great Expectations
Nino Rota – 8 1/2
Yann Tiersen – Amelie
Michael Kamen – The Adventures of Baron Munchausen & 12 Monkeys

thanks to dylan and ian for giving me a chance to hear some of my choices
oh, whoops. mine wasn’t film music.
in that case, I recommend:
Requiem for a Dream – Clint Mansell
Dawg man,
La La Land Records will soon released a newly restored CD of the original Godzilla score, in honor of Rialto Pictures’ limited theatrical re-release (in the US) of the original Japanese version of the film. I’m looking forward to listening to sound clips.
Dylan
Oh, I’ll recommend 2 more CDs: “Obsession” by Bernard Herrmann and “Flowers in the Attic” by Christopher Young.
“The Mollusk” by Ween
“Out of the Cradle” by Lindsey BuckinghamAll of you have GOT to check these two out. I’m sure you all would probably love them.
Apocalyptica (!!!), Enya, Leningrad, Oceans The String Quartet Tribute to Enya, Guano Apes
Does anyone actually go through and check out the stuff recommended, or does everyone just recommend and not check out?
ed wood…howard shore
“The Mollusk” by Ween
Good call, Dantz. Ween is in a three-way tie for greatest band in history in my mind. Every one of their records is amazing, and they’ve got tons of awesome, non-album stuff for people to trade too. Hundreds of hours of live Ween, entire unreleased albums that they released on their site for free, and so on. They rule way too hard.
Burt
Yeah, Ween is an extremely good band. But, a lot of their stuff is hit and miss with me. You never know what they’re going to do next (which is a good thing in a way), but some of their stuff is unlistenable (“Big Fat ****” for example). They do put out some excellent stuff, though. “Exactly Where I’m at”, every song on “The Mullosk”, “The Flutes of Chi”, “Baby Bitch” … Exceptional music.
The 13th Warrior by Jerry Goldsmith
Le Onde by Ludovico Einaudi.
Benjamin Britten – Peter Grimes (recording with Peter Pears)
Jake Heggie – Dead Man Walking (the opera)
Leonard Bernstein – Candide (Jerry Hadley)

Philip Glass – Akhnaten
Honnegger – Jeanne D’arc au Bucher… the list goes on…
