Here is a Fielding score I haven't listened to in a long time.
One of my favorite Fielding's, right up there with "Straw Dogs", "The
Mechanic", and "Lawman".
My favorite is "The Wild Bunch". Hands down. Great score.

I've just listened through Carter Burwell's 'Blair Witch 2':
I've never seen the film, so can't speak for its intended use. It's a very soundscape-style score, using sound effects with synths to create its feel which is most often beat rather than melody. Having listened to more game soundtracks recently, it feels a bit like those. There aren't any stand out cues to my ear, but it's a less unpleasant listen than I remember it from the first time I listened to it. Not one for the orchestral sound lovers though.
I'm a Carter Burwell fan. I've seen only bits and pieces of this movie way back when and honestly don't remember much of it. Still, it's hard to go wrong with a Burwell soundtrack.

Hey, how about jazzing it up a bit w a decent score from the late 70s by Claude Bolling, which also features Tommy Tedesco, Shelly Manne, Hubert Laws, and Chuck Damonico:
Wow! What a wild cover! I'd definitely would give this a listen. I remember this being a very funny movie. The Walter Matthau sequence is hilarious! Is the soundtrack only available on LP?

The purpose of this thread is to dust off your collection and give a listen to a soundtrack CD that has not been played in quite some time. We all seem to get caught up in getting that next holy grail when in fact we have plenty of gold sitting right next to us in our own house. My goal is to “resurrect” at least 1 soundtrack CD a week and report back here. Does the score stand the test of time? Do I like it more now then when I first heard it?
This is actually a great idea, I have so many scores in my collection I haven't heard in an age. Must dust one down soon and post about it.
I look forward to it Thomas!

A magical score by the great Hugo Friedhofer. Been way too long since I spun this score.
Absolutely fabulous score, presented in true stereo for the first time by Intrada (all previous releases, including LP, were in mono).

Another score worthy of revisitation is the Varese Sarabande "Anastasia" by Alfred Newman.

I haven't played CUTTHROAT ISLAND in years. Maybe that would be a good one to revisit. But yes, I seem to recall that much of it is kind of reheated Horner, Williams etc. I think the review in the print edition of FSM at the time had some amusing comments such as "And it's Williams over to Horner, Horner passes it onto Silvestri" etc.
I for one find that comment, while amusing, quite unfair. I have always been a big fan of the score, especially the memorable main theme, and to me it sounds like just solid (if over the top, as demanded by the over-the-top, unfairly maligned film) action scoring a la John Debney. I wish he would get more projects like this.
