THE DON IS DEAD is a premiere release and I applaud Intrada. I am referring to other requests on this thread that have been issued already. Not too far preceding my original statement. By the way, if THE DON IS DEAD was my kind of music I would order it. To those who are excited by this premiere release... enjoy !

Yes! Thank you Intrada!


Yes thank you Intrada -
for bringing another Goldsmith's awful score into the open!

What an inspirational non-egoistical positively driven reaction from probably seasoned composer or music producer. big grin

Jerry G. was brilliant composer for orchestra, but his synth augmentation of scores is sometimes confusing.
Listen the Don is Dead suite on youtube and the synths burps / bloops don't help music at all, otherwise music sounds quite interesting.
Great work Intrada!

Those synths distract and annoy me to the extent that I can't listen to or enjoy the music, despite the great stuff going on around and underneath it.
But that's just my personal take.
Sonic the Hedgehogs' comment is just plain ridiculous.

You'd be surprised what tapes aren't lost...

Hopefully this means the remaining unreleased eight or nine minutes of The Secret Of NIMH will be located some day...


I wish. Not only the additional music not released but the actual film score.

I don't see this instrument (invented around the same time) listed on the credits, but I'm sure I hear it in the clips.

Oh, yeah! I've got one of these. Supremely irritating!

And yes, Kev, this does mean I love Jerry's whole nutty range of electronics.

Say WHA-???

I've been sure the scores released by Varese, TRH, and Intrada were in fact the score. Someone please explain this to me. #educateme #facts #hearhear

I too was under the impression that Secret of NIMH was not a rerecording.

The albums are the film score. Anyone who says otherwise doesn’t really know the music.

The terminology changes so often, it's hard to keep track. There used to be two simple descriptions – one was "Original Soundtrack", meaning the actual film recording, and "Original Score", meaning the original music but not the original recording.
Then from somewhere came "Music from the Motion Picture" which could mean either of the other two, or a bit of both.
To old-timers like me, "Original Score" still suggests a re-recording. "Original Soundtrack" is the film recording.
So the answer above "The albums are the film score" should read "The albums are the soundtrack recordings". Shouldn't it? And the last bit might instead read "Anyone who says otherwise doesn’t really know the terminology" :-)

Bugger the description!

OST Labels played fast and loose with all that!

If you sense a bar, phrase or performance that doesnt match the time worn NIMH we all know - ok.
Going by what any album lists as OST, score, soundtrack etc?
Pazzo...

The secret of NIMH has never had an album recording. What you hear on the albums is the film recording.

Can you say more of it Jeff?
You stated too much or too little...I am afraid, then frustrated.

Especially since the Universal fire in 2008 disaster, one would like to know exactly what burned or not among the film music treasures from our heroes....

Starting with Oliver Nelson's TV stuff.

Can you tell us more on this Universal issue?
12 years later, is there at last a better overview of what has been preserved film music related?

Greetings and Regards...


I think the Universal fire had little or nothing to do with film music. All masters that were lost were property of the Universal Music Group, not Universal - the movie studio. This means that most of the soundtrack masters which have been lost in that fire had previously been released on vinyl or other formats. Of course, this still is not good news since potential re-issues now can only be sourced from vinyl or other alternate sources (like dub tapes) and there still might have been the chance that UMG has been keeping material for inclusion on soundtrack albums that ultimately has never been issued. It's a much bigger loss for the world of pop music, however.

Sure, Jeff, that's what you want us to believe...

GIVE US THE TAPES!

Hope I didn't derail us too much here...was genuinely curious as I have the old Varese NIMH and the liner notes are sparse and I haven't seen the film since...jeez...1990?

I figured it wasn't rerecorded though because of how much work JG was doing with the NPO at the time.


In any case...THE DON IS DEAD! Exciting!

As far as I am concerned , for this particular score - I surely wish they were...
