Anyway my favorite tracks are Big Fish Titles, Twice the Love and Jenny’s theme tracks: Jenny’s Theme, Underwater, Leaving Spectre, and Return to Spectre.
Overall I like this album, more than Good Will Hunting and Family Man. Btw, there’s a tiny bit of Spider-Man (and Batman Returns choir?) in Growing Montage.
Mine is Underwater.
The cue where time is frozen in the curcus is probably my favorite music in the film, however. The Big Fish album is too short and fragmented. I hope an Oscar promo comes around.
Mine is definately Jenny’s Theme. It has such a pretty melancholy sound to it. I also love Main Titles and Finale. All of them are just wonderful though.
There IS a “For Your Consideration” disc of BIG FISH out there… and it contains the exact same 39 minutes of music that are on the Sony Classics CD!
eh , it’s not like you won’t be able to rip the dvd when it eventually comes out…
Actually you can rip the DVD when it comes out. But not if you don’t want dialogue and sound effects too.

Does anyone here have ripped music from DVDs?
Mine’s the ‘Final Confrontation’. What, no FC? What about Weepy Donuts? Rats! Are we *sure* this is an Elfman score? ;o)
Blunt“Actually you can rip the DVD when it comes out. But not if you don’t want dialogue and sound effects too.”
Hahaha, it might have an isolated score on the DVD.
I loved Main Titles, Growing Montage, Sandra’s Theme, The Journey Home, and Finale. They’re all so good! reza, what part of Growing Montage so you hear Spider-Man and Batman? I hear a bit of Nightmare Before Christmas in that part. I heard Spider-Man in Finale, when the car is crossing the bridge with that section of percussion with the quick brass followed by the classic quick violin. Whatever, this score was so great! I was so excited when a list was posted in my Studio Production class in school containing the Oscar nominees, and of course, I saw Danny’s name posted. It just made my day.
The la-la part of Growing Montage at about 1:30 reminds me of Batman Returns and the Spider-Man bit is at about 1:45, right?
What’s with all this talk of ripping music off the DVD? Did I miss something? What’s wrong with just buying the album?
As usual I suppose my post will be the last under this topic, and no one will read it or tell me why I shouldn’t buy the score off of Amazon.
My favourite tracks are the Finale, Jenny’s Theme and End Titles.
Ryan, you should know…
What’s the legality of “ripping” sound from a DVD? Is it all right as long as you own the disc and don’t make multiple copies?
I have no problem with owning the album. I bought it two weeks ago. But I’m referring to other films (I’m digressing more and more from the original topic, but that’s what I meant). Movies like MARS ATTACKS!, BEETLEJUICE, etc. And I think it’s legal to rip the score from DVDs as long as you only have a personal copy. How do you rip them, anyway?
You better not, the police might get you.
it’s illegal to make copies and DISTRIBUTE for personal PROFIT. Next time you rent a video, read the FBI warning…
Since when did legality have anything to do with the methods employed by soundtrack enthusiasts?!!? This topic crops up after decent intervals of repose on most message boards and lists, and it never fails to surprise me that everyone has a view but in practice they’re most likely to consider themselves an acceptable exception (oooo, am I in trouble now!). Like decrying those dodgy blurred screeners of cinema films that are distributed on the web… but then unable to resist the temptation of getting a copy of Return of the King while waiting the 10 months until buying the extended version. Not me, of course, because that would be wicked and selfish… Basically, in the real world, the people who rip sound from their own DVDs or encode MP3s of their favourite albums for a friend will never be found out; only those who distribute them to complete strangers (usually for money) are at risk of this, and are thus liable to blame for taking profit from legitimate companies.
Luverly. A subject to get your teeth into. Incidentally, I hear the BPI (the British version of the American dictatorship copyright body) is due to start clamping down on file-swappers this side of the pond. Yup, we get everything after the Americans, but normally bad things are the exception (diseases, wars, social problems…).

I was only asking. I like to be a good citizen as much as I know how to be.
And the law (whatever it may be on the subject) is the law whether you get caught or not.
MANDA PINGA…
In the case of music the law is designed to balance between the livelihoods of the copyright holder and access (by which I mean mostly affordability and desirability) for the customer. Current laws have shifted very much towards the copyright holder (which unfortunately often has little to do with the creator), in part due to the ease with which technology allows “access” to bypass that copyright holder, and in part due to the commercial (and therefore political) power of conglomerate copyright holders. The same is true in a number of fields including medicine and computer technology.
Related to this, I still find it difficult to imagine how notated music copyright laws can enable the holder to retain all rights until up to 50-70 years (depending on what country you’re in) after his/her own death. For it to be of full value to a widow [and we assume here that (a) this is a man, and (b) that he is married and (c) that he was stupid enough not to have some kind of pension], she would probably need to have married him at around 20 years old (her, not him) and killed him almost immediately. At 20 years old, you’d think she’d be able to go out and get a job or marry someone else..?
Rant. Rant. Rant. None of what I’ve said in thsi thread is prescriptive., Brian. Just offering you the benefit of the chip on my shoulder. I think I’ll skulk off back to the EZ board. :o)

mine is “Sandra’s Theme” all the way!
