IMO, the suspense material you mention belongs to Goldsmith´s best writing. The whole package is simply magnificent, capturing the solitude and sadness of the main character, as well as the sardonic cruelty of his surroundings that influence him.
I'm not disagreeing with you, I'm just saying it's not the most accessible Goldsmith score.
I agree with your point, Francis. This is far from my favorite Goldsmith score, strictly from a listening standpoint, but I respect how well it worked in the context of the film. Even though I have the Varese version and seldom listen to it, I've ordered this one because I've discovered with some scores, the added cues and sound improvements have actually transformed the whole listening experience and raised my enjoyment of the music for itself. Almost like hearing something I've never heard before. Listening to the clips (which sound pretty amazing), I suspect that this will be the case as well with PSYCHO II.

Yeah, that it will be an improvement I have no doubt, it nearly doubles the running time of the previous album and the alternates will be nice to have as well.

Well, I finished listening to all the clips to "Psycho II".
Whiel it didn't leap out and grab me like the top tier Goldsmith efforts, this would indeed earn a very good second tier spot and I can easily see one day owning this.
I was also surprised at the experimentation for this sequel film, Jerry did. The compositional ideas from "Capricorn One" were all over the place, especially one cue. It was like CO light in some ways, with electronics thrown in.

My first thought . . . ALLARDYCE!
Haha, that's a scene from Kingdom of the Crystal Skull, right?
But yea, this release is an absolute dream, I was utterly surprised when I checked the boards this morning. Placed my order along with Yound Sherlock Holmes immediately!!

I also, with shaking fingers, ordered instantly....then remembered that
LaLa Land is announcing something tomorrow too. Dammit dammit dammit!!!
I shoulda sold that old Varese, but it was too good to part with. I never realized
how much editing and monkeying around was done with the album, classic as it is.
One of those, IMO, perfect horror scores that balances pathos, sadness, action and
suspense equally.
