Howard Shore fans have their pick of two new albums: Shore's eleventh-hour score to Edge of Darkness or Collector's Edition vol. 1, a collection of unreleased music. Both are about forty minutes of music. Edge sounds more like typical Shore: dark, atonal, and beautifully understated. But Collector's Edition is more appealing because the music on it, representing two unreleased scores and original compositions, is very different than the Shore music I'm used to. Shore promised that he will be releasing more volumes in the future, so it will be interesting to see what ends up on these albums.
Both are available as CDs or iTunes downloads, and I suppose you could just get them both if you're inclined to.
