    Review of some proper film music, Body Heat:

    http://www.movie-wave.net/?p=2953


    Awesome score, very intense experience!


    The film is very good too D. Believe it or not the original choice to score this film was Miklos Rozsa ( Body Heat is kind of a remake of Double Indemnity which Rozsa scored ), if I remember correctly, Rozsa turned it down because he thought the film was smutty, I don't agree at all, the film is very well made and is far farrrrrrrrrrrr classier than the purial Basic Instinct.

    I always thought Basic Instinct was rather overrated, to be honest (it's score on the other hand is not).

    From Tony Carty at FSM....


    Don’t you just love the BBC? Hardly anything all year then:
    On Friday 14 December the TV channel BBC 4 presents:
    8.10-9.00pm: ‘John Barry: Licence to Thrill’. A special Omnibus arts programme from the year 2000 which gave a profile of the acclaimed composer from Yorkshire who did so much to develop a unique ’Bondian’ style of music. Contributions to the documentary included Bond producer Barbara Broccoli and lyricist and close friend Don Black, among others.
    9.00-10.30pm: ‘James Bond 50th Anniversary Gala Concert’. A special Bond music concert recorded at the Royal Festival Hall in central London, with an orchestra conducted by Carl Davis, and presented and narrated by Honor Blackman.
    10.30-11.30pm: ‘… Sings James Bond’. Rarely seen short performances of some of the James Bond theme songs, uncovered from the BBC’s archives, and taken from a range of BBC shows and programmes from the last 40-50 years. Artists and groups include Matt Munro, Shirley Bassey, Tom Jones, Wings, Sheena Easton, A-ha, Tina Turner and Garbage.
    Meanwhile . . .
    On BBC Radio 2:
    8.00-10.00pm: Friday Night is Music Night – A concert of the music of John Williams
    The concert features the BBC Concert Orchestra under their Principal Conductor, Keith Lockhart who has worked with John and who took over from him as Principal Conductor of the Boston Pops Orchestra. They are joined by the choral forces of London Voices who have featured on many of John's film soundtracks including Star Wars and Harry Potter.
    The concert recorded last month at the Watford Colosseum includes music from John's Academy Award winning scores - Jaws; Star Wars; E.T.; and the young violinist Charlie Siem joins the orchestra to perform music from Schindler's List. Also included Close Encounters of the Third Kind; Raiders of the Lost Ark; Empire of the Sun; The Witches of Eastwick; Hook; Jurassic Park; Amistad; Saving Private Ryan; Harry Potter; along with his most recent Oscar nominated scores for Warhorse and Tin Tin.
    So, does anyone recall a line in a song by Flanders and Swann “We’re most gregarious” referring to buses?
    Happy movie listening – Tony Carty

    Agree on the score, one of JG's greats and now a very iconic sound. The film however is trashy.

    Thor, I never liked that John Miles song except for the upbeat instrumental break with the strings and horns etc.

    I'm camping in the "I love this song" camp. And the instrumental bit is definitely the best part of the 5-minute track.

    Really? I like that musical bridge very much too, but I adore the melancholy of the song part even more. The whole thing is very Alan Parsons Project. Then again, I'm very much into 'art rock' ballads of this kind in the first place.

    Me too.
    I remember the very first time I heard the song falling right in the middle of that break, and thinking "Whoah! This is REALLY good!"....and then "why is ruining it by singing?!?" biggrin

    To this day it's two separate pieces of music in my mind, and I've never been able to listen to that song without getting that feeling of a jarring and slightly uncomfortable transition.

    That kind of transition is quite common in this subgenre of prog rock.

    There's a similar one in Alan Parsons Projects "Silence and I" and "Ammonia Avenue" -- both some of my alltime favourite songs. Primarily for the melancholy of the first (and last) parts, but also the instrumental, WILD transition bits:

    Brilliant Tom, i look forward to reading your review of a John Barry score.

    To be honest Tom it wouldn't have mattered too much if you'd seen the film as a lot of the score wasn't used and what was there is mixed very low. It was the director Joan Darling who really wanted a John Barry score, the producers had wanted an all pop music soundtrack.

    Good interview with legendary JB7 guitarist Vic Flick.

    Interview with Vic Flick part 1

    Interview with Vic Flick part 2


    I didn't know that Vic Flick had played on so many famous recordings outside of the JB7 and John Barry's soundtracks, a bit naive of me I suppose.

    MAN IN THE MIDDLE


    Quite a Jerry Goldsmith like theme here and very attractive it is too. Having not seen the film I've no idea how much more score there is? I'm presuming the first track is the title theme, the other two tracks in this suite are source cues I believe?
