It's kinda fitting that Rosenman and Fielding should be paired.
Jerry is the composer Lenny wanted to be - but failed.

I'm sorry, I rarely reply to these kinds of things, but this is just an absurd assertion. Lenny was exactly the composer he wanted to be. Ridiculous.

I'm a fan of the movie 'Escape From Alcatraz but was a bit dubious when I heard there was to be a CD. However, the samples are excellent, dark, interesting, challenging. Ordered!!

I've listened to my copy. The Rosenman score is very enjoyable, with surprisingly excellent sound. There's nothing here that will particularly stand out from the rest in a Rosenman collection, but the typically solid and angular meanderings will please those who enjoy his style, like me.
The Rosenman is only 16 minutes long, but it's pity this isn't the longer of the two scores on the CD because the other one by Fielding is so ugly that even five minutes of it is way too much for my ears.
Interesting reaction. I'm still waiting on mine, though I ordered it on the strength of the Fielding samples. I'm fond of very experimental film music, though I confess that I have to be in the right mood to really appreciate it. I do like Fielding's Demon Seed and some of the samples remind a bit of Marathon Man which I also appreciate.
Rosenman's scores have always left me fairly cold. I can get into his Star Trek IV score, but any of the other scores of his that I've heard have done nothing for me. I can tell that they're intelligently and passionately written, but they've just never clicked for me. Still, glad others out there enjoy his work.
Chris.
PS: To those who have received the score, how prominent is the Fog Horn in the score (heard, for example in the Finish Line cue sound clip)? I really enjoy Ingram Marshall's Fog Tropes pieces and that particular clip reminded me of the Tropes.

Have you really watched the complete filmography of Don Siegel?
It was an uneven B-movie director. His best films were with Clint Eastwood.
'It's kinda fitting that Eastwood and Siegel should be paired.

nice one!

Is the rest of ALCATRAZ different from the sound samples? I like what I've heard.
I concur with your thoughts about Rosenman. I like him alot, but he can be very....consistent.
One thing you can't get from the samples is the length and thus the intense buildup of suspense.
The music that accompanies the breakout (and some earlier scenes where the cons have some close calls geting caught) really builds as it unfolds over the several minutes running time.
Check it out!
