First track from Mad Max Fury Road by Junkie XL/ Tom Holkenborg

Water Tower Music give us a taste of one of this summer's most hotly anticipated films, MAD MAX FURY ROAD.  Tom Holkenborg (Junkie XL) has composed the original score for the film and this is the first track to find its way to the internets.

It's definitely big ... and bold, just as the film looks to be itself.  Sounds like things are going to match up in that regard, but dare we hope for some memorable character moments underscored by some equally memorable motifs and themes?

What do you think of this track, "Escape"?

The Hobbit Special Edition Soundtrack: An Unexpected Unboxing

Quite unexpectedly my copy of THE HOBBIT: AN UNEXPECTED JOURNEY special edition soundtrack arrived from Amazon.com today.  While I've been listening to the music for a few days already, I decided to share the "unboxing" experience with you and show you ever visual element contained therein.

So, if you pre-ordered, did yours arrive already?  What do you think of the packaging?  Even if you didn't pre-order and just watched the video, do you think what you've seen is worth $20?  Let us know...

You can, of course, order yours from Amazon.com here
