Goldsmith's Twilight Zone/Time Out music reminds me both of his own Seven Days in May and Fred Steiner's St. Valentine's Day Massacre. I realized not long ago that Fred Steiner might be the reason I became such an instant Herrmann fan -- his music often has a Herrmannesque sound, and when I first heard Herrmann's film scores it may have unconsciously reminded me of Steiner's music for the original Star Trek. Steiner's Perry Mason theme is truly one of the all-time greats. That right there is enough to build a career on.

I have the complete series Blu-ray box, as yet unwatched for time-management reasons. I just checked the special features though, and apparently I have the iso score for AHYOTR. I definitely want to check that out, because my only TZ music on CD is the 1985 Varese album, which does not include this episode.

I am not the "Scott" at Movie Music. I am only Scott Bettencourt at FSM. Everyone else calls me "Bob" or "Robert" (and I don't post at other sites).

Watching the first season of original Star Trek on DVD, most of them for the first time in decades (though I saw all of them endlessly in my formative years - as a middle schooler, I could list all 79 episodes in original airing order), am blown away by how great the first half of season one was. And I think Charlie X is arguably the greatest Trek episode ever (take that, Harlan Ellison). (I've read at least one #MeToo-ish story about Ellison, but not remotely as bad as what I've read about Forrest Ackerman. Ouch).

Well, I've played "A Hundred Yards" a couple of times, and I have to say this is quintessential Twilight Zone scoring. The mystery music, the middle section that comes after the harmonica cues, is my favorite part. Musically, this is the very stuff of being lost in the spooky b&w world of a TZ episode, a feeling I remember having as a kid. And then the chase has some highly exciting moments as well. Also I'm thinking this Blu-ray box is a real treasure chest, to have so many iso scores that I haven't touched yet. The sound quality of AHYOTR is very clear and pleasing, too. This is going to be a great set when I really have the time for watching my collection!
