    It's nearer 25 minutes of score, not 15.

    Still not a lot though.

    I was going off the old LP tracklisting, where over half the tracks are stated as not being by Barry (and the album's only 30 minutes long anyway). The fact that every single Barry track is subtitled "Theme from Day of the Locust" doesn't suggest there's much variety there either, but that might just be one of those quirky things that used to happen sometimes on soundtrack LPs.

    I don't suppose it will be around long, so I need to make a quick decision...

    More accurately it's just over 20 minutes of score.

    I honestly can't help you on this one James, I only had the LP for a short while ( amongst a lot of stuff stolen from me back in the ealy 1980's ) so I never became familiar with it.

    And considering the fact that within each track every single Barry measure is repeated multiple times, I'd say you've got about 5 minutes of new John Barry music. Which is approximately 20 measures.

    According to some leaked news at FSM David Arnold's ID4 is to get a complete release.

    It don't mean much to me but I know there are some here who will find that news of great interest.

    That's of little interest to me either. But now I'm wondering what the subliminal John Barry message might be.

    I'm hoping that Intrada's release on monday is THE DEEP, all the clues point to this and I'll be extremely disappointed if it isn't.

    THE DEEP
    Composed and Conducted by JOHN BARRY
    INTRADA Special Collection Volume 143

    John Barry's score for the 1977 Columbia Pictures' film The Deep would immortalize him as a master of melancholy romance -- its somber, oceanic, majestically unfurling themes the hallmark of the mature Barry. This is on full display in “First Discovery (Main Title),” presenting the full score in miniature: the gentle water-drop plinking of piano backed by strings, swelling into long, undulating string-and-woodwind passages, alternately sweetly melodic and ominously discordant. Somehow, Barry gives us an aural equivalent of the now descending, now rising movement of deep-water dives. Barry goes further; he captures the details -- the upward stream of silvery air bubbles; the downward drift of shafts of light; the languid, liquid motion of bodies in water—all are present in Barry’s score for The Deep. The score contains an unusual amount of underwater scoring. It is thick, dense, rippling and flowing, with an emphasis on one beautiful theme enrobed in dramatic, colorful orchestrations. Barry evokes the sea… not one of sparkle and beauty, but rather one of mystery, danger and darkness that—as the theme song by Donna Summer suggests—comes from “down, deep inside”.

    The Deep details the adventures of Gail (Jacqueline Bisset) and David (Nick Nolte), vacationers who discover an odd couple of artifacts while exploring an undersea wreck off the coast of Bermuda: a beautiful antique medallion and a far more modern ampoule filled morphine. The artifacts come from both a 19th-century Spanish treasure ship and a World War II cargo vessel, the wrecks of which are co-mingled by a recent storm. Gail and David are determined to lay hands on the romantic Spanish treasure, but meanwhile, word of the morphine reaches the island’s drug kingpin, Henri Cloche (Louis Gossett Jr.), who sets about terrorizing the young couple in hopes of finding the whereabouts of the putative multi-million-dollar haul.

    For The Deep's first soundtrack appearance on CD, Intrada presents two CDs. The first disc presents the complete score from the original session masters housed at Columbia Pictures, in pristine mono. The second disc is the original LP presentation, mastered from the stereo album masters stored in the vaults at Universal Music Group.

    This release is limited to 3000 units.

  19. Yes...as they are on the same CD! wink

    The clips sound good. I've looked for Equus before but was put off by it's hard-to-find status as well as all the intrusive dialogue.

    I have pre-ordered it.

    A good review Tom, I think Barry's underwater music from THUNDRBALL is more comparable to Herrmann's.

    p.s. It's John Barry's 77th birthday today smile cool beer

  23. Well congrats to the man that couldn't be there when the Brussels Philharmonic sent his gorgeous tunes towards my approving ears a few weeks ago. 't Was a great experience for me, and many more. beer

    And looks like I totally missed out on The Deep, but I can't say the clips won me over.

    Damn, where's my shield... confused

    John Barry passed away from a heart attack. One of the true titans of film music - one of the main reasons I became such a fan. Rest in peace.
