Hello,
All the cds I have bought this year have been scores from older films. The first score I get from a 2008 film will be "Brideshead Revisited" by Adrian Johnston.
Best Regards,
David Phoenix, AZ.

I have only got one soundtrack CD from a 2008 (TV) movie, Wolfram de Marco's ZEIT, DIE MAN LEBEN NENNT which I really like. I am currently waiting for INDIANA JONES AND THE KINGDOM OF THE CRYSTALL SKULL (Williams) and THE INCREDIBLE HULK (Armstrong).
However, the fact that I have virtually no current soundtracks is NOT because I would find contemporary film music bad, but simply because I always buy current soundtracks with some years' delay. That waiting saves me a lot of money, though I see that it might be a somewhat parasitic behaviour.

As you guys know i'm pessimistic about hollywood scores lately, but i was taken by surprise by 'the Incredible Hulk.' I think this is an original take on fillmusic. Melodic and yet with all the ingredients fillmusic should have, two discs long!!!

James Newton Howard - The Happening
Shine A Light - The Rolling Stones
Hancock - John Powell
Kirschblüten-Hanami - Claus Bantzer
Die Fälscher - Marius Ruhland

I'm surprised the score from the Paul Schrader film "The Walker"( Anne Dudley) has not been released.
