    I couldn't think of where else to put this but check this out, the score is FANTASTIC!


    La Cabina


    The first part sounds like a marriage between Wojciech Kilar and Ennio Morricone and then from the two minute mark is a very THE OMEN like piece that builds up spectacularly and predates Goldsmith's by 4 years.

    I. WANT. IT.

    p.s. Marcel is already familiar with this I believe.

    It's worth watching, it starts like something out of a charlie Chaplin film then turns all Twilight Zone. I think the score is brilliant but I don't think it's available anywhere?

    The film is considered a classic in Spain. It was really an event at the time it was released.

    I remember you asked about the composer some time ago and it took me a while to find out who did the music. As far as I know, no score was released.

    It is actually very good music considering the quality of the spanish scores at that time.

    Wow, very cool I finally got to see this short! I read about it many years ago, before YouTube existed, and have been looking for it ever since, and then plain forgot about it! All I ever saw of it was a still collection with subtitles of what happened but never got to actually see it. Thanx for bringing it up again! Great Twilight Zoney / Roald Dahl kinda short.

    I think the score is brilliant, up front and in yer face stuff! Bold as brass, give me more of thisd rather than the wallpaper we mostly ( but not always ) get now.

  1. Music illegally uploaded to YouTube can sometimes be a good way to promote it. Case in point: I kept reading all this stuff about hos good David Newman's score to "The Phantom" is, but all the 0:30 samples I found at places just weren't showing me that at all. Then a few weeks ago I searched for it on YouTube and low & behold -- someone uploaded the full CD. I listened to one whole cue: NOW I understand the love for the score.


    It's also nice when people create "Bet of" suites, that can introduce you to a composer you knew nothing of, or expand on your knowledge of a previously known composer's work.

    Completely off-topic, but in a strange coincidence I just found that exact same typo in a book I am reading not one hour ago. It struck me as strange and it actually had me musing for a couple of minutes, trying to understand how someone who writes a book, commercially, could make that mistake. What did they think they meant themselves?

    And then I log on and see the exact same thing here! Never saw that before and now twice in one hour? dizzy

    Not a comment against Justin, obviously.
    Just remarking on the coincidence.

    I really like this track by Nile Rogers

    The King's Motorcade

    I don't remember how much score is in the film?

  5. Probably about 30 minutes, unless anything was dropped or replaced. Another personal favorite that uis still unreleased. Some good stuff, even the classical adapatation when he awakes at the beginning of the film (I can't recall the name of the piece off the top of my head).

    I also personally found his effort for the third "Beverly Hills Cop" film to be better than the first two. And I loved the dramaic take he did on the Axel Folytheme.

    A beautiful, gorgeous track here from David Whitaker, unfortunately I believe this is the only piece available from the film.

    Glad you enjoyed it Peter, we need more of whitaker's scores released, there was plans for his score to the Hammer film Doctor Jeckyl & Sister Hyde ( a superb gothic romantic tragi score ) to be released a few years ago, I believe Ford Thaxton mentioned it too but all to no avail so far.

    Admittedly the only Whitaker I know so far is The sword and the sorcerer. Some day I'll have to look into more of his work.

    And that's a really good fantasy score.

    There just isn't much available. Just a small suite of Doc Jeckyl & Sister Hyde and Vampire Circus on one of the Silva compilations and a release from the French film Harry, He's Here To Help.

    The album I linked on youtube 'The David Whitaker songbook' is very good, you should be able to find it on Amazon for sound clips, quite a few of the tracks are from his lovely score to Run Wild, Run Free, one particular track I adore is 'Pavane', it sounds like it could have been written by French classical composer Gabriel Faure.

    Just wish the soprano had been mixed a little louder, but otherwise it's perfect.

    For those who may not have heard this before here's the alternate 'ENTERPRISE' cue from STAR TREK THE MOTION PICTURE, it starts at about 1 min 25.

    ENTERPRISE


    I would buy a two or three disc copy of this score in an instant.

    I really need to listen to this score again.
    Rosenmann's finest hour, as far as I'm concerned.

    I love those 'rams horns?' that give such a forebodding and primitive sound, y'know, the bits that Steven would edit out.
