I did that -- my first viewing in half a century -- and was surprised to find that the music, while certainly aggressive and disjunctive, seemed quite "normal" and accessible. That's a sign of how much styles have changed. At the time of the first telecast in the early 1960s, the scoring seemed to have come from outer space, at least to my inexperienced ears. One can only imagine the effect on 1955 moviegoers (or Paramount executives). The extremity of the approach is heightened by the contrast with the opening scene -- a family breakfast straight from the world of Ozzie and Harriet or Father Knows Best.    Posted:   Nov 12, 2019 - 11:41 AM     By:   leagolfer   (Member) Seen Thunderbolt a few times barring that I don't know Kubik, but Thunderbolt for a short-doc was very-powerful very tuneful symphony it was so clean you could hear it over loud SFX & narrations in built-up scenes, he also added a few quirky pieces too balance scenes. I'm interested in this coz Kubik was skilful for sure    Posted:   Nov 14, 2019 - 10:15 AM     By:   haineshisway   (Member) Seen Thunderbolt a few times barring that I don't know Kubik, but Thunderbolt for a short-doc was very-powerful very tuneful symphony it was so clean you could hear it over loud SFX & narrations in built-up scenes, he also added a few quirky pieces too balance scenes. I'm interested in this coz Kubik was skilful for sure He did quite a few excellent scores for documentaries, a few of them with almost wall-to-wall music. And Gerald McBoing-Boing is delightful.    Posted:   Nov 14, 2019 - 5:05 PM     By:   Advise & Consent   (Member) Many great scores would go unsung if not for people like you Bruce. I'm buyin'.

I'll fork over CA$H for both, no questions asked.    Posted:   Nov 18, 2019 - 10:55 AM     By:   leagolfer   (Member) Seen Thunderbolt a few times barring that I don't know Kubik, but Thunderbolt for a short-doc was very-powerful very tuneful symphony it was so clean you could hear it over loud SFX & narrations in built-up scenes, he also added a few quirky pieces too balance scenes.

Thanks for pointing that out, it was a graphic-doc for those young soldiers of one squadron. For most part Kubik simply had thunderous fanfare crescendo's going-on it was all-out attacking it needed realistic power & electrifying intensity the music was really cutting-edge, it eased-down when Soldiers had rest-bites Kubik style switched quirky a patriotic feel indeed, it all sounded great.    Posted:   Nov 28, 2019 - 6:56 PM     By:   .   (Member) Looking forward to this one. What's the latest forecast for shipping?    Posted:   Nov 28, 2019 - 7:51 PM     By:   OnyaBirri   (Member) I plan to buy this after I buy the Kritzerland releases of the complete "Streetcar Named Desire" by Alex North and "Help!" by Ken Thorne. I have only so much disposable income to spend on Kritzerland releases, so I want to buy the important stuff first. Kriitzerland, thank you for releasing these! I've waited for so long!    Posted:   Nov 28, 2019 - 8:18 PM     By:   .   (Member) I plan to buy this after I buy the Kritzerland releases of the complete "Streetcar Named Desire" by Alex North and "Help!" by Ken Thorne.

I think I understand your need to prioritize getting Help.    Posted:   Nov 28, 2019 - 8:53 PM     By:   haineshisway   (Member) Looking forward to this one. What's the latest forecast for shipping? Print just got finished, so maybe mid-next week.    Posted:   Dec 5, 2019 - 8:37 AM     By:   Last Child   (Member) Out of the starting block yet?    Posted:   Dec 9, 2019 - 3:12 PM     By:   .   (Member) My Kubik CD arrived today (Monday). Playing now... very good! A bit surprised to see the Jacksonville State University Band credited with the Scenario for Orchestra (Desperate Hours) portion. That's a marching band isn't it? Performance seems very strong on first hearing.    Posted:   Dec 9, 2019 - 3:59 PM     By:   Last Child   (Member) Also got it today, played it twice. Going to watch the movies to see what inspired him. Some might claim to hear early manic Goldsmith. Losing your touch, Basil, not mentioning the booklet typos.    Posted:   Dec 9, 2019 - 6:04 PM     By:   .   (Member) Losing your touch, Basil... I enjoyed listening to the Scenario for Orchestra (The Desperate Hours). Better sound than I expected, despite a fair amount of audience coughing that can be heard in quieter passages which might displease some listeners. But I like the live feel of it, including the applause at the end. No such audience sounds in the excellent Scenes for Orchestra (unused music for the film "I Thank a Fool"). I think over time this will turn out to be the piece I value most on the disc. I'm listening to it again now and I've already decided this is the star turn. Has plenty of the energy and angularity of The Desperate Hours, but interspersed with more traditional, less aggressive dramatic passages. I'd say this is worth the price of the disc on its own. Excellent. However... I did happen to notice Fredric March being referred to as Frederick March in the booklet (while in the announcement at the top of this thread his name is presented a third way, as Frederic March). I suspect if we get a score for a Burt Lancaster movie anytime soon, we might see Bert Lancaster or Bart Lancaster mentioned in the notes. Maybe even Bertram Lancaster.    Posted:   Dec 10, 2019 - 12:15 AM     By:   haineshisway   (Member) Glad people are enjoying the music and the typos - no matter how many people proof, there's always something. Such is the way of things. We have one more similar release coming in a few days (along with two show releases) - a classical composer who wrote a few memorable (at least to me) film scores.    Posted:   Dec 10, 2019 - 3:32 AM     By:   Last Child   (Member) Glad people are enjoying the music and the typos - no matter how many people proof, there's always something.

This is a film composer, but not film scores - three great concertos.    Posted:   Dec 10, 2019 - 2:44 PM     By:   Last Child   (Member) Hmm, thanks for the explanation. Btw, this cd is the other Bruce's (Marshall) dream since each film score is one big suite. No piddling under-60 second cues. Maybe that's why it's so listenable. The only vexation is what the booklet cover and insert/cd artwork represent. I understand the movie posters.    Posted:   Dec 10, 2019 - 3:01 PM     By:   ZardozSpeaks   (Member) A classical composer who wrote a few film scores & a film composer who wrote 3 (or more) concerti? Would this be one and the same person?    Posted:   Dec 10, 2019 - 3:19 PM     By:   Yavar Moradi   (Member) My guess is Antheil, which would make this Bruce's third Antheil release. Piano Concerto No. 1 (1922) Piano Concerto No. 2 (1926) Violin Concerto (1946) On the other hand, I heard that the world premiere performance of Piano Concerto No. 1 was in 2001...so maybe not! There was also "Concerto for Chamber Orchestra" which I gather was an arrangement of his Octet for Winds...
