I see that we're getting a new George Higgins film adaptation this fall - Killing Them Softly, based on his Cogan's Trade. Marc Streitenfeld is credited for "piano pieces and musical ambiences." Will the score measure up to Grusin's Eddie Coyle?
Just have to wait and find out, I guess. Meanwhile I'll be growing my hair long to go undercover a la Richard Jordan. Keep the good grooves going!

Well I'm still here Jim and I love 60s and 70s scores. I really like 'Three Days Of The Condor', such a great expanded release by FSM.

I hear you, pal.  I know it sounded like I was complaining (again), but I actually like that the "Seventies Crowd"--as FSM poster Castile once called us--is a rather small contingent here. When a '60 or '70s release is announced I know right away who will chime in (Thomas, Simon Morris, chriss, et al) on those threads. Since the board has lately been dominated with a lot of posters I don't "know", the familiar names are a welcome sight, especially in regards to our shared interest.

Three's a crowd. 
Alright, we got Coyle, Brown and Scale. Enough for our Seventies robbery!

I think it was Lukas who said a while back that Silver Age scores now sell like Golden Age ones used to, and that Golden Age scores now hardly sold at all. That's a little worrying really.
It's the 'energy' that I like in '70's scores such as TFOEC/TDOTC. They seem to capture something of the time. I'd rather we went back to those smaller, jazz based scores of those times. It won't happen of course, but to me they're more memorable than nearly all the current '100 player plus' orchestral scores that make a lot of noise and fade from the memory like candy floss.
Like the last two Mission: Impossible scores for instance. Sorry, Giacchino fans. Just not for me.
