Look, either it grabs you or it doesn't. It grabs me. These small ensembles and inventive orchestrations speak to me. I love that you can hear each instrument. It feels intimate, but no less grand for it.
A few weeks ago, people on this board were yearning for a definitive "Supergirl" release, so I listened to that score, for the first time in maybe five or six years. To be candid, I hated it. It felt like four kitchen sinks thrown at me at once – screaming orchestra, swirling effects, whooshing synths, unconvincing fanfares (all performed very sloppily, too!). There's a moderately appealing theme buried under all that, but I couldn't wait for the album to be over.
"Thriller" is, to me, the perfect antidote – music confident enough in its power to persuade that it never needs to raise its voice.
But to each his own. I'm just incredibly grateful that this music is out there. I love it.

I love this volume as much as the first. There are different highlights, obviously. My favorite score on here is God Grante That She Lye Stille (what an awesome title!) It's got yet another amazing theme (Jerry seemed to write a great theme for almost every episode he scored of this series, but this one might be my favorite), and there's even a little motif that shows up many decades later in First Knight!
I haven't had a chance yet to compare against the original recording, so I can't speak to how faithful this performance is. (When I recently went through another favorite of mine, Hay-Fork and Bill-Hook, for The Goldsmith Odyssey, I found that I really did prefer the sharpness of the original recording overall, and for a few cues in particular.) But I look forward to exploring all of these scores in film context over the next year on our podcast.

Yavar, I listened to this once more the other night, and it still didn't quite hit the mark with me. Maybe I'm with you in preferring the "sharpness of the original recording". The Tad disc is very good indeed (I've said everything in previous posts on this thread), but I stil lfind it slightly flaccid - as opposed to growing to absolutely love it.
In case anyone's interested (don't all rush at once), I did a "Pre-CD release episode watch" thread somewhere... Hang on, I think this is it -

Am I likely to wait in vain for a Volume 3 ?.

Last time I communicated with Leigh he was still determined to run his own Kickstarter campaign for a Vol. 3 if he had to...but he’s busy with a lot of projects and I’m sure this global pandemic isn’t helping the chances!

I had seven minutes to spare before going to work yesterday, so I listened to "Terror in Teakwood" on its own, and it was spectacular.
Graham, we got to cover this score in full in the latest Goldsmith Odyssey. It may be the least of Goldsmith's Thriller scores, in amount of music and the show's focus, which is more on the Giovannini piano pieces, but it is quite a thing in itself!
Thanks for that! I'm recently back from the Auld Country and am finding it difficult to get back into the swing of things, but I shall endeavour to become that pedantic bore, of yore, once more... right here, at the FSM Massage Bored.
I really must go out for some fresh air now. That's me been sat sitting here for five bleedin' minutes already.
