Great driving stuff beneath the tone rows holds it all together and really propels it along. Some tracks sound as if a minor unresolved version of the Eee-O-11 theme met up with the Escape from the Planet of the Apes opening titles, especially track 5, "Money Montage. It's like a case of "You got Ocean's in my Escape!" "No, you got Escape in my Ocean's!" All kidding aside, there's some great listening throughout with a great driving main title and some standout tracks like numbers 5 & 6. This is a singular score that really works well in support of an excellent film. If you're looking for a modern, progressive jazz-flavored, gritty, urban, funky New York sound, you'll find it here.    Posted:   Jul 19, 2009 - 11:30 AM     By:   Hester_Prin   (Member) The score for the original film is just terrific... its 70s funk beat... the electric, action pace... it not only captures the urgency of the film, but the feel of New York. The original film is very much what I think of of when I visit NYC. Not interested in the new version in the least.    Posted:   Jul 19, 2009 - 11:48 AM     By:   ahem   (Member) HG Williams also had to take to John Scotts shadow with the MAN ON FIRE remake for Tony Scott.    Posted:   Jul 19, 2009 - 12:23 PM     By:   Mr. Jack   (Member) Ba-WOMP-WOMP-WOMP...

I particularly love the " Money Montage " cue, which is utilised to great effect in the film. Anything I have ever heard composed by David Shire is pure genius.    Posted:   Jul 19, 2009 - 1:36 PM     By:   doctorplesman   (Member) Ba-WOMP-WOMP-WOMP... Ba-WOMP-WOMP-WOMP...

SING IT TO ME AGAIN!!!! ;-)    Posted:   Jul 19, 2009 - 2:18 PM     By:   LeHah   (Member) I sometimes have to cut through a really, really bad part of town. Its basically all Projects and long abandoned brass factories lining the Connecticut coastline. To say its dangerous down there is a pretty big understatement. However, I was rolling through that area one day and happened to have the theme from Pelham playing. When I rolled up to a red light, several... urban youths stopped on a street corner stopped their conversation and started calling out, asking me where the rhymes were to go with that awesome music and beat.    Posted:   Jul 19, 2009 - 2:37 PM     By:   Shaun Rutherford   (Member) LOL, LeHah, there's no such thing as a bad neighborhood in Connecticut!    Posted:   Jul 19, 2009 - 2:44 PM     By:   LeHah   (Member) LOL, LeHah, there's no such thing as a bad neighborhood in Connecticut! We ... actually have the largest split of quality of life in the smallest are in the entire United States.

Came from England of all places. FABULOSO! I'm putting on the Rialto schedule for January and will have the wonderful FSM CD standing by for lobby music.    Posted:   Jul 20, 2009 - 8:48 AM     By:   Swashbuckler   (Member) The official theme of the Lexington Avenue Local (6) train!!!     General Discussion: FSM CD: The Taking of Pelham One Two Three    < 1  >   Go to page:  1   First Post    General Discussion • Trading Post • Non-Film Score Discussion  Profile • Preferences • Community Rules • Help/Contact • Search Board   Go to page:  1
