The notes are on page 3. http://www.filmscoremonthly.com/board/posts.cfm?threadID=88030&forumID=1&archive=0 How did I miss that thread? Must have been bitchin' about something...    Posted:   Jun 12, 2012 - 8:06 AM     By:   Recordman   (Member) Actually, "Condor" is one of my favorite films (except for the hokey NYTimes ending) but I had read the book first, titled "SIX Days of the Condor", so felt 50% cheated when I saw the film...but I did like the music...even though they played only every other note....... which I'm sure the CD restores    Posted:   Jun 12, 2012 - 8:11 AM     By:   Jim Phelps   (Member) Terrific double-header! THREE DAYS OF THE CONDOR is one of my favourite Grusin scores. I haven't seen THE FRIENDS OF EDDIE COYLE in a long time, but I still remember Grusin's low-key, atmospheric and chilly touch - with haunting guitar effects like in THE YAKUZA maybe? Graham, IMO the Yakuza similarities are more with Condor than Coyle. As I wrote over in the Yakuza CD thread: "Delicate", "Sensitive", "Contemplative", and "Atmospheric" only begin to describe this truly magnificent score. Grusin does put in some of his trademark "Love Funk", as in the End Title--one of Grusin's best main titles--that'll be ringing through my mind for days to come. There's that same type of sound 3 Days of the Condor, but I think of The Yakuza as Condor's more tasteful Asian cousin." http://filmscoremonthly.com/board/posts.cfm?threadID=71226&forumID=1&archive=0    Posted:   Jun 12, 2012 - 8:34 AM     By:   chriss   (Member) Total masterpiece! I ordered this fabulous double header on the spot! It's a dream come true: unbelievable. Agreed! Ordered!    Posted:   Jun 12, 2012 - 9:26 AM     By:   lexedo   (Member) Also, I inquired about a new Italian release of TDOTC in another thread, but cannot find that one. :-/ Here is that Italian release I mentioned; you will be doing much better with the FSM one: http://www.amazon.com/Three-Days-Condor-Dave-Grusin/dp/B00005Q1VD/ref=sr_1_1?s=music&ie=UTF8&qid=1329673938&sr=1-1 This was in the "Grusin Recommendations" thread.    Posted:   Jun 12, 2012 - 2:14 PM     By:   Rollin Hand   (Member) Gun Seller Jackie Brown: keep on pushing!    Posted:   Jun 14, 2012 - 8:34 AM     By:   Grecchus   (Member) My head is gonna explode. Condor finally gets closure. Nice one Lukas.    Posted:   Jun 15, 2012 - 10:55 AM     By:   chriss   (Member) Hot dang. Another terrific entry for FSM's hardboiled 70s thriller collection. Klute / All the President's Men Marathon Man / The Parallax View Point Blank / The Outfit Zigzag / The Super Cops The French Connection / French Connection II The Taking of Pelham One Two Three The Getaway McQ The Yakuza Add to that list: Omega Man Farewell My Lovely THX 1138 Soylent Green/Demon Seed Coma/Westworld/Carey Treatment The Liquidator The Last Run/Crosscurrent/Scorpio Letters The Wrath of God Shaft Anthology The Heart is a Lonely Hunter Hunters are for Killing and you have a fantastic 70s collection! That's why FSM is my favorite label!    Posted:   Jun 15, 2012 - 11:47 AM     By:   OnyaBirri   (Member) The Liquidator is a 60s spy flick, nothing 70s about it.    Posted:   Jun 15, 2012 - 12:20 PM     By:   Simon Morris   (Member) The Liquidator is a 60s spy flick, nothing 70s about it. Yes, I raised an eyebrow at that one too. In the context of The Friends of Eddie Coyle and Three Days of the Condor, I'm not sure that I'd put THX 1138, The Heart is A Lonely Hunter or Soylent Green on a list of 'hard boiled' thriller scores. But I hasten to add that it's just my own view.    Posted:   Jun 15, 2012 - 12:27 PM     By:   chriss   (Member) I was generally speaking about great 70s movie music on the FSM label. I simply forgot that The Liquidator is from 1966. When I think of Schifrin I must think of 70s scores like Dirty Harry or Charley Varrick. But I know of course his great 60s output like Bullitt or Coogan's Bluff too.    Posted:   Jun 15, 2012 - 2:32 PM     By:   Lukas Kendall   (Member) Hi Gang: the Condor LP I always liked a lot and so we kept that program intact. Then we ran bonus tracks of the unreleased cues, as well as a few things that got abridged on the LP. The great find for me is "Life and Death Introspection" as Condor and the hit man talk near the end, wonderful!

I couldn't agree more; a great idea    Posted:   Jun 17, 2012 - 9:21 AM     By:   Jim Phelps   (Member) One of the many things that mark Eddie Coyle as an early '70s film is the dreary city look so prevalent then. When Brown (Steven Keats) arrives to make the arms sale, the skyline is grey and drab, and everything just looks like hell. In fact, that waterfront scene reminds me of a similar set up in another 1973 urban blight masterpiece, The Seven Ups, when Scheider and his contact are near those hideous NYC Co-Op buildings. Damn, were they ugly! The characters in the film even say so! If someone said that clothes or a building were ugly in the Seventies, brother, you damn well knew it had to be!    Posted:   Jun 17, 2012 - 9:28 AM     By:   Steve Johnson   (Member) One of the many things that mark Eddie Coyle as an early '70s film is the dreary city look so prevalent then.

Just look at Coyle's home. It was a dump.    Posted:   Jun 17, 2012 - 10:08 AM     By:   Jim Phelps   (Member) Just look at Coyle's home. It was a dump. It added to his motivation, I'm sure.    Posted:   Jun 17, 2012 - 11:02 AM     By:   jkannry   (Member) The Liquidator is a 60s spy flick, nothing 70s about it.

Nor is omega man    Posted:   Jun 25, 2012 - 2:49 PM     By:   Simon Morris   (Member) The Friends of Eddie Coyle/Three Days of the Condor arrived from SAE today. Only listened to Eddie Coyle so far, and - not having listened to the sound samples previously, or ever having seen the film - I was rather unprepared for how funky and upbeat it all is. There are some suspense passages which use various types of unusual percussion but anyone who likes wah-wah guitar, drum kits and prominent bass guitar is well catered for here I shall give Condor a listen tomorrow.... Incidentally, on page 2 of the excellent booklet (which gives some very detailed background into each film, as well as analysis of the music) there is a very apt photo of Grusin with a spiffy 70's style 'porno film' moustache.....! The FSM label is going to be missed.    Posted:   Jun 25, 2012 - 4:25 PM     By:   Rollin Hand   (Member) The Friends of Eddie Coyle/Three Days of the Condor arrived from SAE today.

I listened to the samples every day, man. It's an addiction. I know the film by heart. The FSM label is going to be missed.
