Welcome to Soundtrack Express which is run by Tom Daish, here in Guernsey, Channel Islands and hosted by Host Plus who I highly recommend, well it's worked so far... I hope you like it. If you would like to mail me with your cursing or thanks, then please click here and I shall attempt to reply as promptly as I can.
Soundtrack Express
is best viewed with your eyes, but if it's on at least 800 by
600 Monitor then it'll probably look as intended.
Otherwise it'll look teeny tiny or far too big.
Scores are rated on a rating
of 1 to 5, with 5 Blue Stars indicating either a personal
favourite or a composer's best or simply a score that is
of outstanding merit. Half star ratings are now awarded for a bit more flexibility, but ratings are really only a guide and the text of the review is more important. Sometimes it's comparing apples and oranges with score ratings. Many three star review will be a standard score, well written - a Jerry Goldsmith action score for example. Conversely it may be technically unexceptional, but terrific fun, such as one of Jerry Goldsmith's scores for Joe Dante. The latter might well be more enjoyable even if the former is better composed, but overall deserve the same rating since it reflects both enjoyability and technical merit.
Suppose I'd better put the
disclaimer bit about the fact that I use the covers and
stuff (it's all down the bottom as well), but let's face
it, if you want to sue me for using cover artwork, then
I'm quite happy to stop advertising, for free, a genre of
music that doesn't sell brilliantly at the best of times.
If I can help sell a bit more, then I'm pleased, but
obviously that doesn't mean I shall be completely nice
about everything, but I just write how my opinions stand
at the time (and these change obviously).
Enough rambling. Not that
anyone is going to read it, but still.
All artwork and so
on is provided for informational purposes only (it's easier to
buy things if you know what the cover looks like) and no
copyright infringement is intended. However, if you're a
miserable old lawyer that feels that your client is being
violated by the free advertising I'm providing, then please feel
free to complain and I shall remove the offending articles as
soon as I can. I'm a very busy man as you can imagine.
