The "consideration" disc is bizarre. The tracks are in alphabetical order, furthering the argument that one track is much the same as the next. And yet I think the score works beautifully in the film. If it's ever released, I'll sweep it up in a hot minute as well. I hate holes in my Oscar collection.

If you'd asked me then, I might have proclaimed (and did -- rather vociferously) that a fistful of melancholy twanging does not a score make, but as far as iconography goes, "The Wings" has certainly made its mark in popular culture, and rightly so. Its simplicity speaks volumes more than any sweeping orchestral accompaniment might have attempted in its place. I just wish the entire score would be released apart from the "Consideration" discs mailed to the AMPAS Music Branch. I'd sweep that up in a hot minute.

It's not a score I ever put on just to listen to, but it IS haunting and perfect for the film. I agree. It’s not a score I ever put on just to listen to, but it IS haunting and perfect for the film.

I have the academy promo with more music and although it can be argued to be more of the same, I can't get enough. Whether Santaolalla deserved the Oscar or not… the music is beautiful.
