So I'm sitting here and listening to this (CD-R transfer of the) old MGM LP. This is really cool stuff. Right now, it's the hilarious "Golden Trip" cue, which obviously underscores some acid trip-type scene (I don't know, I've never seen the movie). In general, I love the combination of Spanish/mambo-type sentiments and more or less progressive jazz.
Anyone else have this?
I do, Thor.
NP: Lalo's latin-oriented "The Wrath of God"!!!

If it is a re-record, it's pretty damn close to the original.
The album was a triumph of the score over some fairly bizarre sequencing, especially just ending the whole thing after a couple of signature Schifrin action cues edited together with a trowel. They probably had no choice, as they had
tacked the actual end title onto the beginning section of the main title and a version of the love theme, which dissolves in with a much more prominent dose of background hiss. (That latter situation drove me nuts when I did my own cleanup, but clean living prevailed again.)
I still hope that Lukas and compadres will do it up right someday--maybe mated to THE VENETIAN AFFAIR?
