Yikes, don't miss out on the Intrada Wind and the Lion. Get that CD, you won't regret it. I love both the presentation and score, don't miss out!

I love Michael J. Lewis's work. The Madwoman of Chaillot is absolutely sublime and contains an incredibly heartbreaking theme. Not bad for a first film score. Give credit to director Bryan Forbes for finding Lewis and fighting to hire him on such a major production. This film was not a Forbes production--he was actually hired as a replacement director.

WG - I'm not actually a compulsive collector of anything. You'd probably be surprised at the amount of LPs and CDs which I've not picked up in the last 45 years, just because I never got around to it.It's great for me that there are still hundreds of things on my wants list, things which have been readily available for decades. So I rarely contribute to the "Ordered, but what's next?" threads. I'm a sort of 10 CDs a year person, although I seem to have been going through a shopping spree stage for the last few months. I do have THE WIND AND THE LION on LP, but it is a great score indeed and I'm very tempted to get the full thing on CD. That would still leave about thirty Goldsmiths on my wants list, and about twenty or thirty which I actually wouldn't even want for free.
MCurry - Yes, I heard part of MOBSTERS and it's good enough late-period Michael Small.
TG, Bill, villa - I've been aware of Michael J. Lewis' music since the mid-'70s when I sneaked in (way underage) to see THEATRE OF BLOOD. The music stayed with me for years, then I got the DVD (I love the film) and finally the CD (promo). And THE MADWOMAN OF CHAILLOT was one of the first LPs I got on a trip to 58 Dean Street in London in my teens. Cost about 25 quid back then. I grew up taping things off the telly, and MJL quickly struck me as being immediately recognizable. I picked up one of his compilation CDs years ago (the single disc one), and while I like it a lot, I felt that it was slightly overdone. I think these compilations were re-recordings done for a bigger orchestra, to showcase his themes, and for me it got a little slushy. So now that these promos are cheap for me living in Europe, I think I'll take the plunge on some. I'd like to hear the original soundtracks stripped of their re-orchestrated, lush upholstery. And with the packaging, it's sure to be bare bones.
Interesting that nobody has mentioned UNMAN, WITTERING AND ZIGO. Does nobody have it, or is it too terrible to mention? The film was great when I saw it forty years ago.
I'll be placing my order soon. Please help me Obi-Wan Kenobi. You're my only hope. You have until midnight tonight to find the house on haunted hill.

Gold's LAST VIKINGS/ Rosenman's DR LEAKY - Call me a nutmeg nincompoop nit, but it's something to look forward to next Christmas.
Graham, you should participate in this previous thread:
https://www.filmscoremonthly.com/board/posts.cfm?threadID=99413&forumID=1&archive=0
It asks if you acquire a disc (containing 2 composers' music) based upon one composer or another (or both).
In this case, all of those Rosenman scores paired with non-Rosenman companions.

Bill, I may actually start that De Masi thread myself, from the point of view of a virgin ignoramus. By the way, I take it you are addressing the mighty Zardoz when you refer to the ant-De Masi stance? I don't know enough about his music to give much of an opinion.
I listened to the YT links you posted. That first one seems modeled on HOUR OF THE GUN. Am I just imagining that? Not sure which came first. Whatever, I'm not an enormous fan of spaghetti, except when it's on my plate - again maybe out of ignorance. But I did come across a really lovely De Masi piece from DI CHE COLORE E IL VENTO (or something), which looks a bit like it might translate roughly (going through Spanish) as WHAT IS/ TELL ME THE COLOUR OF THE WIND. I might be asking for recommendations more in that vein.
Anyway, I passed on SOLIMANO as you know, from the cheap shop in France, but it's still "quite cheap" from the expensive shop in Spain, so, as I'm waiting waiting for Gerald Fried's THE BABY to be born in the Spanish shop at the end of the month, I might make it a more bulky order and get SOLIMANO after all, plus that thing about the colour of the wind, if anybody trustworthy says it's any good.
But the De Masi I really want is UN ANGELO PER SATANA (or something)/ AN ANGEL FOR SATAN, which I saw during a Babs Steele marathon and was totally captivated by the score - in fact by the whole film. I watched that opening credits scene of the boat moving languidly along the lake ten times. Hypnotic. But it ain't out on CD. Me myself I, and wayoutwest want this, so that makes four of us.
I don't know if I've accidentally started the De Masi thread. You may want to do a new, proper one. Some of us have to work. It's not all sun, sex and sangría, Dickie Plantagenet.

And MEDUSA is on Amazon prime too, as of a couple weeks ago. I hope I can sit still for a couple hours & watch it, very good score that deserves a closer look. It seems to be the priciest of the MJ L promos....and my cdr copy has terrible blurry, red blotchy art. So, someone please redo this...because my artwork is illegible...and my entitlement needs feeding....
;-)
