I think it sounds great, Spook. I'm also really enjoying the actual music too. Eerie, mysterious and textured. Plus, it is unmistakably Kamen.

I'll be reviewing it and playing it in a video this weekend. Great booklet too! I'd always wanted to hear more of his music for Lifeforce and I wasn't disappointed.

Well worth it, I reckon.

Cheers

Here's my in-depth review of Intrada's release of Michael Kamen's score for Lifeforce. Listen out for the weird connection to 80s pop hairdo, Nik Kershaw, that I discovered.

Best grab a beer, or three, coz it's a long exploration of an unappreciated yet incredibly interesting and imaginative score.

Chris McEneany, you should seriously prevent your wife from harming your dog Roxy!

Don't take what I'm telling you here lightly. It is a great torture for dogs to be shampooed. The perfume odours are terrible - and who knows what kind of chemical crap this dog salon uses. You should know that the nose is one of the most important sensory organs of dogs. But the perfuming harms them quite considerably. It is due to the stupidity of dog owners that this is regularly done to their pets. So stop it already.

I’ve been revisiting both cuts of the movie on the recent UHD set. Movie has definitely grown on me over the years. There’s really very little Mancini in the theatrical cut.

The second quarter of the film, with Caine's investigation and the return of Carlsen, borders on pulp excellence.

The rest of the movie, not so much. Hey, at least it wasn't one of those Star Wars or Raiders of the Lost Ark knockoffs that were so common in the mid-80s.

I've only ever seen the longer UK cut and just can't bring myself to watch the edited US version, now knowing all that's been cut out of it, not the least of which is much of the marvelous Mancini music. I have the Blu-ray with both, so I guess I should just make the time...

One of the weirdest edits in the US version is a shot that was shuffled from the end of the movie to the middle of the movie. It’s a shot of one of the zombies crawling next to a garbage can and it’s completely out of place at that point in the film.

I received the delayed Mancini Lifeforce set today (Wednesday 7th).
So if you haven't got yours yet... it won't be long.

about the Mancini set: has it been newly remastered compared to the BSX ? I don't think I saw any mention of that neither in the Intrada description nor on the pictures of the booklet...

In a word, magnificent. Sonic quality of this release is simply exceptional to the degree one has the sense of being in AR 1 along with Mancini and the LSO.

Thanks to Doug and all at Intrada who made this very fine release possible. Definitely has been worth the wait.

Intrada mentioned they’re working off a brand new transfer of Eric Tomlinson’s mix.

In listening to the orchestral cues from Michael Kamen, it's fascinating to hear in "The Discovery" what sounds like an early version of "Hong with Money" from Lethal Weapon 4 and also music in the "Nightmare / Carlsen Wakes Up" cue which ended up in those "Fight on the Wing" cues from Die Hard 2...

thank you all for the good news..I've never been satisfied with the Bsx sonics, so this is a purchase, then.

Curious if the chorus part in Grandson Of Web, that was damaged, has been restored in this release.

Hated the Kamen tracks on the previous 2-disc set, so skip...!

I don't hate the Kamen tracks, but I'm not buying the Kamen album. I can't wait for the Mancini one however, it's a great score and Mancini's my third favorite composer.
