| This is a comments thread about FSM CD: Hunters Are for Killing |
| |
|
This is an enjoyable CD with a little bit of everything thrown into the mix. Some emotional string work, trademark Fielding basslines, some quite hard bitten jazz...there isn't much not to like. To me, it sounded like what it was (a tv score) and that's not meant as a criticism.
The Big Sleep is probably my favourite Fielding score - I always loved the Main Titles and End Credits so it was great to hear the theme again. I can't decide whether I'm disappointed that Fielding re-used (seemingly shamelessly) some pieces of music over and over again, or whether I'm glad that he thought my favourite theme was worthy of such re-use 
I do wonder though, what Michael Winner might have said if he'd known that the theme for his film in 1978 had, er, 'been round the block' before....!

Simon, I'm sure Michael Winner would just have puffed out a huge cloud of cigar smoke and laughed uncontrolably.

In an interview years ago, he said that "Jerry Fielding never gave you a melody". Huh. What did he know

When I asked my wife if I could get this along with the TV Omnibus set, she hit me on the head with a rolling pin and told me to choose ONE. So I sneakily chose the big one. That, however, leaves me with a dilemma, a dilemma which has been addressed before, a dilemma both you and I know very well (What is this, a Robert Bloch writing workshop?) -
Will this great Fielding score have the decency to hang around for another three months when I can place my next order? That, my friend, is the dilemma, the dilemma that is Fielding, the dilemma of collecting, of collecting the skull, the skull of the Marquis de Sade, whose spirit still inhabits the skull.

Ah ha, just checked - I'd put it in wishlist. Typical. Ordered now.

landed. Love the main theme, even though it was already well known.
aint sure about the rest of it yet. Only one listen so far so too early to judge.

Maybe you could get back to us on that...
Well it hasnt grabbed me by the coat lapels and shook me yet, tall guy, but I'll give it fair spin and an open mind!

Tall Guy, did you end up purchasing this? I'm allowed to get it for Christmas 2015. Let me know if it's worth the wait, in your humble opinion of course.

Jingle Bells! Jingle Bells!
This one's on it's way!
Oh what fun it'll be for me, to pop it in and then press PLAY!!!

I loved this from first play. In fact, it got 3 plays in a row. THE BLACK BIRD, released concurrently is good, but not as good as this.

Okay Sports Fans, before I even enter into any discussion about this one, will somebody please tell me what other Fielding score I'm hearing in tracks 8 and 9 (Rudy In LG's Room, No Coffee). Lukas' notes mention the laughing trombones, but not the string piece alongside it, that I know I've heard elsewhere!
Help from any of the Fielding Cavalry would be appreciated

I don't know the answer, Kev. I still have to order this one. I just posted that to let you know I'm trying to keep up with these posts, but lack of time and pressure of work is a complete and absolute bastard. I'm trying to keep smilin'.
