No topic for this composer yet?
Solved.
I recently received "Shergar", "20,000 Leagues Under the Sea", "North Star", "Blood Royal: William the Conqueror", "The Shooting Party", "The Final Countdown", "The People That Time Forgot" and "Antony and Cleopatra". I´ve got also "King of the Wind" (where could I actually purchase this one? I can´t find any site), "Shogun Mayeda", "Lionheart", "Shoot to Kill" and "L' Expédition Jules Verne". Any other recommendation?Anything with an orchestra or with a choir....at some point will reach you -

Great Scott! That is an awesome set of scores!
Shoot to Kill is a bootleg so I hope you didn't pay $$ for it.
Lionheart is rare and pricey. Congrats!
King of the Wind used to be available in SAE but not anymore. Keep a watch on SAE.
Other good scores are- 2nd Jungle Book, Walking Thunder, Becoming Colette and Ruby (the sax theme is lovely)
You also might want to check out the entire series of Cousteau scores.
Also SAE has "John Scott Conducts His Own Favorite Film Scores" which has some nice suites (including a better selection from Greystoke in comparison to what's on Concerts pour L'Aventure) -

It won´t take me too long to place another order, before some of the scores you mention become difficult to find too, as has happened with "King of the Wind".Anything with an orchestra or with a choir....at some point will reach you -

Cool. I had the boot for like forever, and while there's a little too much gruesome horror & suspence music on it, it has some pretty nice cues too. The film is very underrated, IMO. It deserves a real, legitimate release, although since it's LLL, I fear C&C.I am extremely serious. -

For the first time ever John Scott's jungle adventure GREYSTOKE, TARZAN, LORD OF THE APES comes to life on CD (previous releases were all unauthorized). This special release was made possible by using the Original 1/4" Album Master found in the Warner Bros Records Vaults. Sadly, no other elements were located to give this wonderful score the Expanded Treatment it deserves. However, we were able to pull the OVERTURE and END CREDITS off the original magnetic track and present it here as Bonus Material. Artwork, tracks titles and sound clips will be posted next week upon its release.

My #1 John Scott selection is King Kong Lives.
Other superb selections not mentioned yet are: Red King White Knight, Time of the Wolf and all his Cousteau music.
John Scott's ability to write long-lined melodic themes rivals John Barry and Ennio Morricone if you ask me. Beyond his main themes, the meat of his scores aren't always as developed as theirs are, but he's still a tremendous composer. From what I understand he's a difficult person to work with and that's why his career hasn't had the high profile it might have had.''The mandate, as well as the benefit, of responsibility is the ability to tell when one can afford to be irresponsible.'' - Me -

John Scott was born in my city, Bristol and according to wikipedia, Bishopston ( which is less than 5 minutes from where I live ), I doubt there's a plaque on the house

It's one of his top works. I first heard a suite on Dan Schweiger's interview with Scott (for On The Score) and was instantly hooked. It's sweeping and lyrical... a jungle ballet. Youtube has a suite http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zyh6PPE5mR0 -

Looks very nice.
WHat a nice tribute.
I was just enjoying his work on Cousteau - Amazon, thinking how underappreciated a composer he really is.

INTRADA
Announces:
SHOOT TO KILL
Composed and Conducted by JOHN SCOTT
INTRADA Special Collection Volume 173
The 1988 Touchstone film Shoot to Kill quite frankly features one of John Scott's finest scores. Scott employs a single long-form, minor-mode melody to characterize and drive Shoot to Kill, and it is unquestionably one of the great motion picture themes of the 1980s. Performed by saxophone, full orchestra, or solo piano, it appears in many guises through this action score, with a sweeping nod to the grand outdoor adventure on screen. The complex construction of the melody paints a portrait of the conflict between protagonist and adversary, featuring shadowy opening notes that reinforce the sense of mystery at the same time they heroically characterize Warren Stantin (Sidney Poitier). Having grounded the score with this melody, Scott was free to take a wide variety of rhythmic and stylistic approaches, with action and suspense music that is robust, complex and varied as he tackles an abundance of situations from the tense hostage drama to the rigors of survival, a blanketing snowstorm, a grueling mountain climb, the tourists’ murder, a forest foot chase and the final trackdown, pursuit and confrontation with the villain on a ferry near the Canadian border. The result is an exciting, stylish and memorable action score, one of the hallmarks of ’80s cinema and, in its way, an impressive tribute to the durability and mystique of Sidney Poitier, one of the great icons of modern cinema.
In Shoot to Kill, FBI agent Warren Stantin is assigned to investigate a San Francisco jewelry store break-in—only to discover that the man about to abscond with two pounds of diamonds is the store owner whose wife is being held hostage by a mysterious criminal. This event turns into a manhunt that leads Stantin north where he employs the reluctant Jonathan Knox (Tom Berenger) to lead him through the mountains to find his girlfriend and fellow guide Sarah (Kirstie Alley) and her group (none of whom realize that there is a killer among them) before the suspect can escape into Canada.
This release is limited to 2000 units.

I remember absolutely loving the end credits segment that someone used in an old clips contest and I managed to get a hold of the entire track. Loved it. I then managed to get a hold of the boot that was circulating at the time and I couldn't believe that the track I had heard had come from the same score.
That end credits track is more than enough of a summary for the score as a whole.The views expressed in this post are entirely my own and do not reflect the opinions of maintitles.net, or for that matter, anyone else. http://www.racksandtags.com/falkirkbairn -

Remember the film from when I was a teen. Taped it off of TV in the early 90's and saw it a few more times after that. Great combo of urban and outdoors wildlife thriller.
Can't remember a note of the music, though.I am extremely serious. -

NP: KING KONG LIVES John Scott. A nice adventure score to a movie I've never seen. This is one I got years ago listened to it once and put it away. I've got to go back and listen to some of my older scores more. There is a definite hint of Barry in this one.
Tomlisten to more classical music!
