I did like four suites for him and more suites for other composers, all linked in this thread over time. Later on I had to create new links due to Google/YouTube not recognizing Fair Use.

This week's suites.



"The White Shadow"
Composers: Mike Post & Pete Carpenter
https://youtube.com/watch?v=7sn0lrzbleI

Suite #2.
Both these sites cover all of season one.



Outrage
Composer: Morton Stevens
https://youtube.com/watch?v=ZyM0huikgGw

A TV movie from 1986.

Using the Lalal A.I. dialogue remover, I was able to salvage a lot of score. In the past before that website, I would have had to chop the fuck out of the music and even drop cues entirely, but not now.


MuTel Music:

Two more cues.


"untitled 5"
https://youtube.com/watch?v=4nJ3ME9l7ik

Once again, my nick name of the cue from my Non-Film Score Discussion thread for the radio program. The real name of the cue is not known.

EDIT: This upload tripped copyright and I.D.'ed the cue for me:

"The Last Mile"
By: Ronald Binge
https://archive.org/details/78_the-last-mile_ronald-binge_gbia3012707a



"Bernstein "Serpico"-sounding cue"
https://youtube.com/watch?v=WLBcWVpkbmk

This is my nick name for the cue -- the real name is not known. The nick name is because this cue sounds a lot like a cue from one of three episodes of the short-lived 1976 "Serpico" series that Bernstein scored. This cue wasn't used that much in the radio program, so ultimately I had to use the Lalal A.I. dialogue remover to fully salvage the cue.

Hey Justin,

Thanks for the OUTRAGE! suite. I have this on video and it is a great film - very thought provoking. Not bad at all for a late Irwin Allen effort.

Yeah, it wasn't a bad movie, had a good set up to grab you and pull you in.

What to expect from next week's suites (hopefully posted Monday, but I don't know for sure yet):

One final spring into action set of suites, where the Chase continues with Hooker. And, of course, two more MuTel Music cues.

This week's suites.



"Chase"
Composer: J.J. Johnson
https://youtube.com/watch?v=gBcEUL0jYiE

Unfortunately, this suite was done before I discovered the Lalal A.I. dialogue remover, so I had to edit up that long opening cue.



"T.J. Hooker"
Composer: Mark Snow
https://youtube.com/watch?v=JBBbthoZ9RA

Suite #3.

The Lalal A.I. dialogue remover was utilized on this suite.

These three suites cover Snow's work for the series. He did the entire first (short) season.



MuTel Music:

Two more cues.



"Beating Heart" (EDIT)
Composer: Lan Adomian
https://youtube.com/watch?v=kMadf0Md5VU

At the time I did not know the name of the composer of cue and simply refereed to it as "Rifleman" (because the repeating staccato brass was just like something Herschel did in the TV series "Rifleman", so I assumed he was the composer). The radio program version was a heavily edited down presentation with an ending from an unknown cue. I am presenting the radio program edit here. The full unedited cue, along with other cues used on this show, are on the sold out Varese Sarabande CD "The Adventures of Superman" (Volume 1).



"act closer"
https://youtube.com/watch?v=kCUN8dve9Vw

Short outtro cue for when each episode ended. I have been trying to present the music in a presentation, building to more dramatic material, and now the act closer.

What to expect from next week's suites: an unreleased Japanese film score, and a suite covering all available episodes of a series where about half the episodes did not air originally. And, of course, two more MuTel Music cues.

 
 Posted:   Apr 15, 2024 - 8:06 AM   
 By:   Justin Boggan   (Member)

This week's suites.



"The Texas Wheelers"
Composer: John Andrew Tartaglia
https://youtube.com/watch?v=pbYwhhzFAAU

Suite #1. No further suites planned, or possible (no further episodes available).

Half or more of the series did not air originally back in the day, and a few short months ago multiple unaired episodes surfaced on YouTube. As a result, this suite cover mostly unaired episodes. The Lalal A.I. dialogue remover was used on this suite. One humorous dialogue bit has also been included.



The Bullet Train
Composer: Hachiro Aoyama
https://youtube.com/watch?v=IRE6nZV9qIs

Unrelease Japanese film score. Hopefully people will give it a chance even though it's not an American score and an unknown composer.



MuTel Music:

Two more cues.



"New Orleans light jazz"
https://youtube.com/watch?v=wV8F3XlnAUY

This cues was used on multiple episodes of "Johnny Dollar", even during the half-hour format.

Once again, this was my nick name for the cue -- the real name is not known. I used the Lalal A.I. dialogue remover to do the final clean up.



"romantic violin"
https://youtube.com/watch?v=ue-0wkZJk2U

Same as above, but better dialogue removing results.

 
 Posted:   Apr 17, 2024 - 7:29 AM

What to expect from next week's suites:


We start bolting away from spring time with Charles Bernstein, and two more suites (so three this time), and, of course, two more "Johnny Dollar" library cues.

This week's suites.



"Just Shoot Me"
Composers: John Adair, Steve Hampton, & Korbin Kraus
https://youtube.com/watch?v=ssIElQtXiQo

Suite #1.
This suite covers the entire first season.

Some cues were tracked multiple times over the seasons and while I had no advance intention of doing so, I ended up being able to do a little salvage repair work on some cues.

You either enjoy this type of music, or you don't. I do.



"Route 66"
Composer: Nelson Riddle
https://youtube.com/watch?v=UP23gcWyW88

Suite #1.
Covers selections from the first few episodes. No further suites intended, but it's also not ruled out if enough interest is expressed.



That Man Bolt
Composer: Charles Bernstein
https://youtube.com/watch?v=jPDQ6ZKTMgc

Suite #1 (of two).

I know what some of you are thinking: What's so different about my suites versus the suites of varying lengths already on YouTube? Well, I found while editing the score that there was tracking side the film, so I was able to make a small amount of salvage repairs -- something I seriously doubt any other suite maker did. And, unlike other suite makers, I did my own editing and providing of much more music, then volume adjusting, etc. My suites are essentially for all reasonable intents, the final say on the music until some label does a legal release of this music.

Despite an old post saying the film was wall-to-wall music, it turns out it is not wall-to-wall scoring, then, like I said, tracked music inside the film. The full score should fit on one CD.



MuTel Music:

Two more cues from the radio program "Yours Truly, Johnny Dollar".



"slow double clarinet open"
https://youtube.com/watch?v=kf3U16p198U

The real name of the cue is not known -- this is my nick name for it. The Lalal A.I. dialogue remover was used more than I would have liked to have used it, so the results are kind of a mixed bag.



"lyrical downbeat bass clarinet"
https://youtube.com/watch?v=x6GkxUs1Wh8

Same as above.

 
 Posted:   Apr 23, 2024 - 3:17 PM   
 By:   Justin Boggan   (Member)

What to expect from next week's suites (day of posting yet to be determined):

The second suites for That Man Bolt and Markowitz episode score to "The F.B.I.", as well as a Don Ellis suite. And, of course, two more MuTel Music cues.

Updates for May, June, and July.


TV SERIES:


Starting May 1st (barring not being online for some reason), I start what I deem the Summer months here in the U.S. -- May, June, and July -- with western TV series. At least three of them, and other shows. Two to three shows a day. No, I won't load people down -- one or two of them will have probably just one episode posted a day, but it gives variety and something for readers to check out if they don't care for the others.



SUITES:


Cling tenaciously to you buttocks and get ready for it! Yes, May, June, and July will be three months of awesomeness. The heat is on with police suites, private investigator suites, Angels, and more. "Remington Steele", "Matt Houston", and more.

And it doesn't stop there: giddy up, cowboy -- guaranteed two to three western suites each month!

All that is, of course, on top of each month opening with Morton Stevens, and Mike Post & Pete Carpenter as usual.

Jerry Goldsmith, James Horner, and John Williams -- oh my.


These suites -- barring being offline for some reason -- begins May 6th. Be there or be square and miss a very special "Hawaii Five-O" salvage job suite.

This week's suites.



"The FBI"
Composer: Richard Markowtiz
https://youtube.com/watch?v=by8sARKCnrA

Suite #2 -- the final suite covering his score for the season four episode "The Widow".



That Man Bolt
Composer: Charles Bernstein
https://youtube.com/watch?v=55XiqIOXmVk

Suite #2 -- the final suite covering his score for this film.



The Ransom
Composer: Don Ellis
https://youtube.com/watch?v=8-DV5GEu928

Well, actually, the name of the film depends on what load you watch. It looks to me like they had trouble pinning down a name and I found three or four different names for this film!

This suite utilized the Lalal A.I. dialogue remover some.


MuTel Music:

Two more cues.



"12/1234"
https://youtube.com/watch?v=NtkgLjQ-R9w

As usual, this is my nick name for the cue. The audio is a little rough, but it's the best that could be done with the sources available.



"123BoomBoom456"
https://youtube.com/watch?v=19ft2SWdn6A

Same as above.

Some more tantalizing info' for May, June and July: Each month a suite for Stu Phillis, and a suite for Oliver Nelson. Each week will just be packed with awesome. Some weeks may have three suites.

What to expect from next week's suites (day of posting, not set in stone yet):

The tide rolls in with a special salvage-job suite for "Hawaii Five-O", and then I let 'er rip with Mike Post & Pete Carpenter. And the killer summer begins, also, with James Horner. And, of course, two more MuTel Music cues.

This week's suites.



"Norman and the Killer"
Composer: James Horner
https://youtube.com/watch?v=AkUnJQVwuvs

This is a special suite as the Lalal A.I. dialogue remover was used to try and salvage as much of the score as it possibly could so I wouldn't have to cut as much out.



"Riptide"
Composers: Mike Post and Pete Carpenter
https://archive.org/details/riptide-score-suite-1-mike-post-and-pete-carpenter

This suite covers the feature-length pilot episode and a few episodes after it. The Lalal A.I. dialogue remover was used a little to save parts of some cues.

One or two of the cues I think may be tracked from their work on "The Rousters". The theme song -- by the same guy -- has it's main hook just flat-out re-used in this theme song, which makes its way into the scoring, so I can't really tell if some stuff is new or tracked.

I have not covered this show with a thread.



"Hawaii Five-O"
Composer: Morton Stevens
https://archive.org/details/hawaii-five-o-score-suites-2-morton-stevens

This is a very special salvage-job suite where I went through all of season one and season two to find parts that were tracked from the feature-length pilot episode ("Cocoon"), a well as some series which used score from the pilot episode (like Wild Wild West) and use cleaner parts to fix cues. Then I did some volume levels adjustments and finally I used the Lalal A.I. dialogue remover.
The score takes two suites, so this is the first one. This is not the entire pilot score, but the vast majority of it.

One cue has edits and a looped part in it -- I have preserved that. Obviously some of that cue, and I think others, were not heard in-full and cut out.

With this suite, I think it's time to talk about the A.I. program I have been using since another user mentioned it and linked to it in another thread months ago:

So, to start off, the Lalal program is not a miracle cure. As the site says, it is 70% accurate, which is more or less about right. I know I often call it a "A.I. dialogue remover" but in reality what it is doing according to the website, is reproducing the dialogue and music -- re-creating it. As a consequence, the program is not perfect. It often can't distinguish certain vocal ranges and doesn't touch the dialogue as a consequence, or partially gets it. It also has trouble picking up short bits of dialogue that would normally be removed. It also, sadly, does not cover dog barks. In some rare instances, it catches certain instruments and removes them, so I have to copy and paste sections as possible, to preserve the music -- I can't just used a straight-out worked on cue portion (the free program is limited to one-minute chunks, so I have to cut out dialogue parts and do one-minute cues and then come back in and paste). Though it's not as effective, in some rare instances I can used the percussion remover and catch some sound effects.

And while the site states there is no quality loss, it's simply not true. I don't want to berate the site and the program -- it's been an amazing thing to have and has fixed parts of cues I would otherwise have had to butcher or not even use, but the advertising is not true. There is quality loss, you can hear often a drop in bitrate quality and that reproduced section often has volume levels below the rest of the track. Then, of course, it has the aforementioned issues.

It's still got a way to go, but it is better than nothing. I'm sure five years from now we'll be blown away by how good it is, maybe ten years later it'll be nearly 100% perfect. Who knows.


MuTel Music:

Two more cues.



"untitled 6"
https://youtube.com/watch?v=eOzovwIMfdU

This cue wasn't used as much in the program, so there was only so much I could do. The Lalal A.I. dialogue remover could only do so much.


"weird woodwind opening"
https://youtube.com/watch?v=v3NOWT0bfko

This cue -- while used more than the one above, was also relatively speaking not used as much, and it appears to have never been used in full.

Hey Justin,

Thanks for posting the HAWAII 5-O PILOT Suite. I’m sure fans will get a kick out of this:-)

I hope so, but you're the only one commenting, so I guess I'll just shelve any future suites for the show.

This week's suites.



"Matt Houston"
Composer: Artie Kane
https://youtube.com/watch?v=5OMiB_2mp6M

Suite #1.

This suite covers the first two or three episodes Kane scored. The Lalal A.I. program was used to clean up dialogue.



Jessi's Girls
Composer: Don McGinnis
https://youtube.com/watch?v=X-9NLAX0wMQ

This is maybe about half of the film score. It was FX heavy and I decided not everything needed to be covered.

This is a cool score with a memorable simple theme, variations (often just in instrumentation and parts), and two kick-ass jazz action cues -- hard-edged drumkit works, simple they might be, that are really cool. Hopefully this suite catches the ear of some label!

I hope people give this score a chance even if they don't know the film or composer.

Now, sadly, some words on the film: So, let me first off state to please not waste your life watching this crappy film -- go find a better western film to watch. The film (1975) opens by just flat-out stealing the plot and ideas of Hannie Caulder (1971): An older man and his younger wife, living alone on a secluded ranch, having a happy marriage when a band of outlaws ride in on horsed, torture both, kill him in front of her, then gang rape her.

Then it veers off and it's a band of a girls hunting down the outlaws.

If you like boring, poorly-handed westerns and cat fights, this crap might be for you. Go watch Hannie Caulder instead; it's not a great film, but it's a fairly good movie worth your time.

Info' on Don McGinnis was a little hard to find and all over the place. Best I can tell, he was a musician and song artist of no fame, who -- by his IMDb credits -- did a little scoring. He may still be alive, in age from about 85 to 95.



Indecent Desires
https://youtube.com/watch?v=eYQoD20N-6w

Suite #2 -- the final suite.

More library music done under the name of Music Sound Recorders.

The load tripped copyright and revealed the name of two library cues used:
"Gun on the Run" (Ralph Dollimore)
(1:18 to 1:54 cue)

"Johnny Ubiquitous"
JW Media Music
(7:54 to 8:47 cue)



MuTel Music:

Two more cues library cues used in "Johnny Dollar".


"1111"
https://youtube.com/watch?v=_-qYjarNjP8

This cue was not used too often. My nick name for the cue, as the real name is not known.



"police"
https://youtube.com/watch?v=QV_BrNvoH_A

While this cue was not used too often, it did continue on threw the half-hour format. I have included a closing bit that sounded like it may be from this cue, but was never used together on the show. Once again, my nick name for the cue, as the real name is not known.
