Transformers Movie Score Champion; TheKnightShift has another update on how well the Amazon sales of the Transformers Movie Score are going.

That's ranked #19 in sales of all music: it's highest yet (that I'm aware of).

The Transformers score is also #3 in movie soundtracks, after the soundtracks for Across The Universe and High School Musical 2.

Front Paged and Credited.

The more stuff we post about how great guns the Score is selling, hopefully the more the big wigs will take notice and produce more copies for worldwide distribution.

I was sad to not see it available in brick and mortar yet. It might have been smart for them to do this last week when the movie came out.

I suppose as long as it gets released, it's good.

It's so high on the charts because you can't find it in stores ANYWHERE!! I'm glad the soundtrack is doing so well. I never expected the music of this type of movie to be so unique and appealing. *sigh* Guess I'd better get to Amazon.com then! Yeah Steve Jablonsky!!

I had to order my CD from Target/Amazon. The score is so beautiful that it brought actual tears to my eyes. It's been a long time since music has done that.

TheKnightShift, you freakin' rock! Thank you so much for all that you have done getting this CD released. To think what I would have missed.....

Steve Jablonsky is one incredible composer. Wow.

Could not agree more. Why they thought we'd go gaga over some rock ballads, vs the Symphonic score is beyond me.

Exec: Hey guys whens the Soundtrack coming out?
Worker bee: We'll we want to put out the score first since, you hear it thru the whole movie.
Exec: WHHAAAT!, These people dont want no stinkin score, This is HEAVY METAL action, They want hard rock, no put out that one first. We'll think about the score. Boys dont want no score.
Worker bee:............But the score is great sir.
Exec: do as i say.

Steve Jablonsky(sp?)'s Score is a Truely marvelous musical tapestry. The Themes are so dramatic(aside from the one where Blackout is destroying the Desert Base), that they entice the hairs on my arms to stand. This is especially true during the Autobots' arrival on earth. That scene is one of the most dramatic moments in Cinema that I've seen in a long time; 300 was full of those "Instant Classic" moments, but I know that the scene with Optimus' first transformation will live on in history... And I haven't even talked about the Opening scene. I've got Goosebumps even as I write over here... The Music really sold this one. Michael Bay's pretty good with the music for most of his movies(I can't really vouch for Bad Boys so much), and Steve Jablonsky has some impressive credits under his belt. I'm quite satisfied with his work on Transformers.

Yeah there are many parts of the Score that remind me of LotR and Spiderman as well, but the metallic sounds in particular are what sets this Score apart from all that have come before it.

Arrival is still one of the best pieces of movie music I have heard in a long long time. (Probably the best since "Rainbow Connection! :P )
