| This is a comments thread about FSM CD: Stagecoach/The Loner |
| |
|
I just opened this for my birthday and liked it a lot.
I especially liked "The Loner", which if you're too busy to listen to the sound samples, has a snappy rhythm and melody shape similar to the main title of RIO CONCHOS.
Funny thing: I heard it without reading the liner notes, and when it got to the vocal, I listened and thought, "Wow, Ann-Margaret doesn't sound so hot!"
I bought it when the stock count was dipping low, so you'd better nab it now.

You may be interested to know that the theme to The Loner actually derives from a motif that appears briefly in the score to Lonely Are The Brave, specifically from 2:29 into the track Run For It.

This was my first western score by Goldsmith, picking up the old LP, when I was hoovering up anything that was available by him, after buying his STAR TREK - TMP and ALIEN LP's.
It's probably still my favourite western score by him, due to that 'first love' thing, although I do prefer his Americana/Folk style western scoring (this, WILD ROVERS) over his more aggressive 'latin style' (BANDOLERO, RIO CONCHOS) anyway.
I never knew the old LP was a re-recording, so hearing this CD was a bit of a shock at first.
I actually find that the differences between the two recordings sound more akin to the same score being recorded from different sides of the room. There are details and emphasis on the FSM version that you don't catch on the Mainstream and vice-versa. I edited the two short saloon tracks out of the FSM issue, as they add nothing to my listening experience. Without them, the Goldsmith score runs just under 22 mins on the FSM, while the Mainstream is around 25.
My abso' favourite bit is the opening of Aftermath, and that was because I first heard it in THE LAST HARD MEN (or was it THE CULPEPPER CATTLE COMPANY - both Goldsmith temp-tracked scores?), during a camp-fire hi-jinks scene where someone accidentally gets shot in the ear (I still can't listen to the cue without hearing "You Shot Him In The Ear" bouncing around my brain).
I think LK is a bit harsh in the liner notes, regarding the Mainstream issue, calling it 'the worst recording in history' or somesuch.
I find both recordings offer merit and find favour with various tracks from each one.
For the record, my favourite bit (see above) is much better on the Mainstream.
Still, I guess I'm lucky to have both and the score, in either incarnation, brings back wonderful memories.

Hi ToneRow!
I've made the odd post over the last few months, and am still buying quite a bit of film music - maybe 7-10 discs a month.
Re. Jerry G., before this year, I think the only music I had of his was "The Planet of the Apes", but now have: "Chinatown", "Logan's Run", "The Man From U.N.C.L.E", "Coma", ""Poltergeist", "The Last Run"/"Crosscurrent", "Hawkins On Murder"/"Babe"/"Winterkill", "The Illustrated Man", "Dr. Kildare", and of course now "Stagecoach"/"The Loner"...
Really enjoying these and film music in general!

This was not only the first F.S.M. C.D., but also the very first F.S.M. disc I bought, period!
Same here.
That release was the beginning of a new era of soundtrack releases, the starting point of all the riches we have today.

Very cool! I've heard good things about this show and I love westerns with depth. I think I may pick this up. Any comments on the scores besides the two lovely Goldsmith ones? Did they incorporate Goldsmith's theme?
I wonder if we might get a release of other music from this series one day. Probably unlikely, I guess.
