In his autobiography, Miklós Rózsa says that, for the African chants in his score to SOMETHING OF VALUE (1957), which takes place in Kenya during the Mau-Mau rebellion against British colonial authorities, he just picked words at random from a Kikuyu-English dictionary (though I find that rather hard to believe, considering Rózsa's training as a musicologist, his integrity as an artist, and MGM's research department resources).

This is a score that has really grown on me with time, and I played it over the Holidays. It surprised me upon release that the movie didn't live up to it's box-office expectations.

Along with an expanded or complete The River Wild, an expanded or complete The Ghost and the Darkness is my most-wanted release. As far as Goldsmith expansions go, The Ghost and the Darkness is my most wanted release as well. This is one of the first Goldsmith scores I bought and to this day it's still one of my favorites. The original release misses quite some stuff. Also remember that music in the film is even more aggressive. An expanded River Wild also wouldn't be too bad either

Also the score has similar qualities to FC given that he scored it around the same time. Are you talking about Fierce Creatures? Oh wait, you mean First Contact. But...DOES it have similar qualities as First Contact? In that they both use instruments that play sounds, yes.
