My soul cries for the loss of someone I didn't know other than through his music. May his soul rest in peace. Amen. |

I'm in a very bad mood because of this news You see... I'm as much of a soundtrack fan than I am of an IDM fan. I have over 50 official Goldsmith releases and at least a hundred bootlegs of his work. His talent was so underestimated by Hollywood, it's a shame. He was a gifted musician, a true unique artist even within the field of movie scoring. |

Don't forget "Basic Instinct", which is perhaps his best work alongside "Alien". |

I always wondered who did the music for Logan's Run. Thanks for news Sir Qrter of the Netherlands. Your's truly, The Casual King of America, rarndaraki. |

haha, they sure do. Same mood, mostly. Sometimes you think they're positive, but then you read between the lines. oh anyway, yeah I recognized his name, but I didn't know he'd done all of these classic scores. Planet of the apes's got a fantastic soundtrack, and I really love The omen aswell. I should look into the others! I am yet to see "Innerspace", "Explorers", "the secret of NIMH", LA Confidential and "Logan's run", I think. But I might have seen them (under an alternative, most likely swedish, title) when I was (much) younger. thanks for the notification. RIP Jerry G. |

His talent was so underestimated by Hollywood, it's a shame. He was a gifted musician, a true unique artist even within the field of movie scoring. I am somewhat confused by this statement...How could Hollywood Underestimate his talent when he WAS responsible for scoring almost every major movie there is.... I am fan a few of his scores... the rest were somewhat generic...probably because he practically defined and invented the genre...hats off for that... credit where credit is due... |

He also did the theme music for The Waltons. |

Hmmm, actually flea no you're kinda wrong eh ;) Every movie he scored, he did it with an incredible intensity that often wasn't the case of the movie itself. Some of his major scores, are for movies that just rightly suck. Supergirl, Rambo III, Krull, Legend, The Burbs, Star Trek TMP, Damien : The Omen II, The Omen III, First Knight, etc... I mean those aren't A-list movies. I'm ommiting plenty here, just check out imdb, browse Goldsmith work and check out the "sorted by ratings" section. There's so much work that's sucks as movies. I'm sure some of you will say "Krull rules!!", but that's beyond the point. Anybody in the industry, knows that Jerry Goldsmith's talent was kinda wasted by the quality of the film he worked on. His choice of movie often was because of his affinities with certain directors, and those directors weren't always A-class ones. If you compared him, contemporary, to the Williams, Elfmans, Horners, etc.... they had the chance to pick not only A-list directors but they were "lucky" to find A-list movies to score. I mean everybody knows that. Just head on to filmscoremonthly.com and you'll see such threads pop in each month about the waste of talent of Goldsmith. He was just unfortunate. And please, the rest WEREN'T generic. There's at least 20+ essential Goldsmith works. Oh and monoid, I find this ironic coming from you, who browse in a messageboard about IDM, a culture of music that is often repetitive and pretty much all "sounds alike" to the people who don't know this field. When they do, they know it's not. You surely don't know much about movie music. |

there has been a reissue of the "Logan's Run" soundtrack combined with the OST of "Coma", but that misses some tracks.. there has also been a reissue a few years earlier, in an expensive limited edition form of the complete "Logan's run" soundtrack - I yet to have get this myself, . |

FUCK I just found that that site has a cd of THX 1138's music by Lalo Schifrin! I've been looking for that soundtrack FOR YEARS!! |
||||||||
|

BUY IT! |
||||||||
|
|

|

I WILL! in a few days, when my creditcard will let me. :) |
||||||||
|
|

|
|
But they might be sold out! Quick, borrow some money from a loan-shark and mail order that shit! You may regret doing that now, but you may also regret it tomorrow, and for the rest of your life. |
||||||||
|
|

| |||||||||
|
|
my creditcard is more or less a loan-shark.. I can wait a few days.. they've had that Logan's Run cd up for more than a year, so I don't think THX is going to do a runner. |

"my creditcard is more or less a loan-shark.." yeah, I have to agree with you there. It's a shame evolution didn't have money trees anywhere on it's agenda. But then... everyone would be a money tree farmer and no one would care about anything except how much money they could rake in every week, month, year. Boy oh boy that would really be something. |

or they would start burning forrests, to control inflation (which is what happens in the Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy). |

hahaha, yes I recall that.. I have the entire "Ultimate" Guide that has all 6 books in one... I'm somewhere in the middle of Book 3 and being a slacker about the whole finishing process... At the same time though, it's not very often that I find a book I enjoy as much as those, so I'm trying to make it last. :D At times, HGTTG seems like the Futurama of my dad's adolescence. |

... which, doesnt make me enjoy it any more or less but... it seems as though history somehow managed to repeat itself in a very obscure and basically pointless way. |
