Wow, track one is "Serenity Blows Up and Everyone Dies" ??

Rogue Slayer | September 27, 18:54 CET

Quite impressive, so last track is "Secret Unveiled: River is made of Chocolate"

Numfar PTB | September 27, 18:56 CET

Hidden track: Ben is Glory?!!?

zeitgeist | September 27, 19:11 CET

Ben is Glory?!!?

The Whedonverse equivalent of "Who's on first?".

Simon | September 27, 19:15 CET

Stop teasing.

Everybody knows that hidden track is a thinly-disguised promo song for "Wonder Woman" :-)

wissxwe | September 27, 19:17 CET

I got notice from Amazon that my copy was shipped yesterday.

Caroline | September 27, 19:23 CET

I too preordered, so hopefully it will come soon.

MySerenity | September 27, 20:05 CET

Wait... You mean... River is Serenity?!

gossi | September 27, 20:10 CET

"I'm not on the ship. I'm in the ship. I am the ship. You're talking to Serenity. And Early... Serenity is very unhappy."

Razor | September 27, 20:25 CET

Am I to understand then that Serenity is made of chocolate? Or is it Wonder Woman that is made of chocolate? I'm confused.

palehorse | September 27, 20:29 CET

"Who's on first?" indeed ;) I so need to watch Objects in Space again...

Wait a minute. Glory is ben and what's on first???

SpikeBad | September 27, 20:44 CET

My soundtrack cd arrived today, and I just finished listening to it. Can I at least say that I haven't heard anything *this good* in years?

I agree. I'm listening to mine right now. :-D

David Newman knows how to film score, and River's and Serenity's themes are...wow. I'ma smilin'. I love Greg's work on the series, I desperately want more tracks from his score, and I'm sure he would've done a great job had he been asked to do the movie, but I ain't got no qualms with David Newman.

The epic with the intimate with the Western. Muy bueno.

As far as I'm aware, noone says you can't post your review/opinion, wissxwe. But the rules for this site clearly state you shouldn't post links to your own site etc. - same idea goes for posting your own reviews as news items - with the addendum, that you can obviously do so in comments, if it's relevant to the discussion. =)

Besides, as far as I can tell, this thread is perfect for posting such reviews anyway.

On topic. I'd better get that CD soon ;)

Kaneda | September 27, 21:15 CET

No luck at Best Buy, Circuit City, Sam Goodys, Walmart, Target, or iTunes. This is why I buy so much stuff from Amazon.

C. A. Bridges | September 27, 21:21 CET

Yes, I realized that after I signed off, so I came back to edit my comment accordingly. I was just so thrilled at how good the soundtrack was that I experienced premature commentation.

And I'm telling ya - this soundtrack has a *profound* effect on your emotions! What I blurted out before was something like 'Newman's score is an emotional powerhouse that pulls you into the story, even when you're not quite sure what that story is yet.'

wissxwe | September 27, 21:24 CET

Write an Amazon review :)

MySerenity | September 27, 21:24 CET

I just had to thank you for the "Ben is Glory" comment. I have been laughing for the past five minutes. I read the comment right after a huge blow-up at work (a tantrum thrown that was Dawn-worthy)...and seriously, I'm in SUCH a good mood now. As for the soundtrack, I was seriously hoping for a musical rendition of "I wear the cheese...the cheese does not wear me!"

ctofine | September 27, 21:39 CET

Tracks 20-23? God. Teary-eyed here.

pat32082 | September 27, 21:46 CET

And for some reason it's entirely missing from the iTunes Store.

theonetruebix | September 27, 22:05 CET

ctofine -- glad to brighten the day a bit. The cheese does not wear me!

zeitgeist | September 27, 22:10 CET

Wait. Wait. Wait just a minute here...

So, your saying that Ben could have some connection to Glory?

/had to do it..

Seems like everything was released today, the Veronica Mars soundtrack, the "RENT" soundtrack, this one...geez, there goes all my money.

socks | September 27, 22:10 CET

I'm probably not going to buy the soundtrack until I've seen the finished cut of Serenity. Happy listening folks! I bet its good.

eddy | September 27, 22:22 CET

So you're saying that David Newman is really Thomas Newman and Thomas Newman is really Randy Newman who is really his own uncle, Lionel Newman.

Oddly, I feel like a new man.

bobster | September 27, 22:23 CET

The 'Love' track on the score is, like, amazing.

gossi | September 27, 23:28 CET

Listening to it now...amazing. Can't wait to see the completed film tonight, after having seen the unfinished version three times.

sfrechette | September 27, 23:42 CET

Mines ordered! Its going to come with my Serenity Visual Companion and Novelization (as well as Six Feet Under Season Four, Bad Girls Series Six and 'How to be a Footballers Wife: The Official Guide to Footballers Wives')

Apocalypse | September 27, 23:59 CET

*sigh* Love the music, but the back cover has all the ugly typos from the first release of the back which was later fixed on Varese Sarabande's site.

KernelM | September 28, 03:08 CET

Couldn't find this anywhere. Guess it's an Amazon buy.
