I have just uploaded 7 new tracks from the soundtrack of one of the best SF films in the past many years. Namely, Joss Whedon’s Serenity. (check it out, and don’t say “I don’t like science fiction!”, that’s not a good enough response).

 The soundtrack by David Newman, is not a great one as far as soundtracks go, but it has its moments. And works very well for the film although die-hard Whedon fans would still have prefered Gregg Edmondson’s lyrical music from the TV show that the movie is based upon.

In the meantime, rent Serenity, pop some popcorn and see what Star Wars could have been. Then of course you’ll have to rent DVDs of the short-lived TV series the movie is based on, and when you’ve finished the 12 episode you’ll curse Fox, fist shaking in the air, for cancelling one of the best things on TV, years before its time. 

 These new tracks now bring the total trackcount to my main playlist up to 1561, or over 101 hours of music.

I have just uploaded 7 (seven!) new tracks to CM from the CD Scottish Fantasies for Violin and Orchestra.

This is a little more highbrow than most of the CM tracks, being all
classical and all. But it is Scottish and has some fantasies, so it can’t be all bad. It also has the fetching Rachel Barton as violin solist, and Scottish Chamber Orchestra as the chamber orchestra soloist.

 Enjoy!
