I should say so. What a year for great releases. Now we got FRIDAY the 13TH (I-VI) right around the corner. Happy New Year and best wishes to listeners and friends!
Best,

The Morricone score was awesome !!!

Hey Danny,

Best wishes for 2012

Well, the answer is a big NO. Shall we face it, the titles in your list are re-release, release of titles that are over 20 years old, but just name me one title "produced" for a film released in 2011. I was beginning of December to a movie convention and none of the soundtrack collectors was able to find a score that has impressed them. For my part I find "Drive" really good, the development of Desplat on the second Harry Potter (well 7th one second part) is also nice. But it was really a poor year, if you only consider the scores for 2011 and not the re-release which I truly enjoy.

Take care, Rhonan

This was the year a lot of people's wishes for their holy grails to be
released came true.

No...IMHO the only truly great one released this year was John Barry's THE BLACK HOLE. It was LONG overdue.

Yes it was especially toward the end of the year when we got these

The Fall of the Roman Empire - Tiomkin
55 Days at Peking - Tiomkin
Taras Bulba - Waxman
The Black Hole - Barry
Masada - Goldsmith/Stevens

And today I received Bernard Herrmanns 'The Battle of Neretva'
