Jesus Christ, Jens.

Jens does have a...particularly special...relationship to that score, it's true. But I frankly think it's pretty brilliant myself (even if it wouldn't quite make my top 40) and I really can't fathom the disdain it gets from so many Goldsmith fans.

Yes I want to shout out both Jens *and* David for providing me with some excellent interview questions this time 'round. Usually the Goldsmith Odyssey team is content to just let me do my thing whenever I solicit them for questions in advance, but this time the two of them each contributed a handful of really excellent questions and I'm so grateful to them for doing so even though, as Jens noted, several ended up being cut from the final interview due to Mike not being privy to some info.

I guess earlier me was turned off by the drum machine and some of my own loopy expectations due to its poster art suggesting horror (which the film may well intend to be; I haven't seen the thing). Jens definitely gave that one a boost for me, contextualizing it as semi-Joe Dantean in its sound. That thought had not occurred to me Dude, and I gave it another whirl. It's a lot of fun! Whimsical, even.
If I shelved my scores by vibe, I'd have to move this one away from Magic and The Haunting, past Executive Decision, and nearer to the area where I'd be keeping Dennis the Menace and The First Great Train Robbery.

Yeah, it's definitely a fun listen, despite my previous hatred of it.

Wow! Yavar, these interviews are getting better and better. Congrats on yet another stunning one!
Next stop should be: Bruce Botnick
P.S. Link is a great score

Great Job, Yavar. Interesting bit on Eric Tomlinson. Sad he had falling out with Goldsmith and Horner. William also didn't work with him again.
Goldsmith went into detail in a Keyboard Magazine interview back in the mid-1980s about the difficulties at the Supergirl session. He did not names names, but he revealed he and "the mixer" had arguments about how best to record the synths. Goldsmith finally relented and agreed to let the mixer do it his way -- which resulted not only in the phasing, but a speaker catching fire as well.

The Invaders is finally done, thanks to the tireless editing efforts of W. David.
I couldn't wait any longer. Had to release it right away.

SHOW NOTES
Our journey through Jerry Goldsmith's contributions to The Twilight Zone (the TV series, anyway – give us a few* years and we'll get to the movie) concludes in epic fashion with a plus-sized installment featuring TWO special guests. This time, we're taking a look at the iconic episode "The Invaders," a nearly dialogue-free affair that proves an exceptional canvas for Goldsmith's suspenseful music. The first portion of our program features a conversation with Oscar-nominated composer David Newman and esteemed film music producer/liner note writer Jeff Bond, who discuss the virtues of this classic episode, David's memories of conducting Goldsmith's music for "The Invaders" live to picture, what makes Goldsmith such a remarkable composer, the musical storytelling techniques that set great composers apart, and much more. Afterwards, Jeff joins your humble hosts David, Yavar, and Clark for our usual track-by-track examination of the score. It's a long episode, yes, but both of our guests have an abundance of compelling insights that you won't want to miss. Enjoy!

Technically David Newman speaks about performing “The Invaders” live to picture, well before that timestamp. Folks, you’re not going to want to skip though the David Newman section, trust me!
I’m super proud of this episode and can’t wait to hear what people here think.

Agreed. That may be the best bit, honestly.
Also agreed.
