  1. It's an original score...not a compilation. by caleugene · · Score: 3, Informative

    The majority of the tracks are original compositions by Trevor R. Jones performed by the London Symphony. Two tracks are more ethnic African tunes from Lady Blacksmith Mumbazo...this was all mentioned in the C|NET article.

    Interesting point. But since there's no KaZaa for the Mac...
    And, btw, why the hell isn't there?
    There is, it's called mlMac.

    There are a few other clients for KaZaa.

    However KaZaa has really gone down hill, mainly because of studio action. Most songs I try and download are "tweaked" with yelling in the middle or beeping or are of the wrong sound. It really isn't a good place to find music.

    I personally use Direct Connect. You can find a hub with the style of music you like and are more likely to find obscure music. (i.e. blues, jazz, etc.) Further it has a much better selection of TV shows if you are trying to find a show you missed that week. The Mac client is still so-so, but they fixed the memory leaks of the version from the fall.

  4. I actually bought it... by mbbac · · Score: 4, Informative

    I bought the album last night from iTunes Music Store. It's a pretty good soundtrack. If the movie is anywhere near as good as its soundtrack, it'll be exceedingly better than my expectations.

    Anyway, $9.99 for 13 tracks of nicely composed orchestral work and two excellent world music songs is pretty good. I'm listening to it on my iPod as I type this.
