It's a really terrific score... I had a nice talk with the composer while I was working on this project. What an amazing career... And if you're familiar with the movie, the film mix was not fantastic. It sounds much better away from the film.
Immel is synonymous with DALLAS for me, and I don't think I've heard anything else by him. At least not consciously. Should be interesting to hear something else.
This sounds great, from the Main Titles posted by Bill. Never seen the film. I never cared much for the DALLAS theme, but I recall that Immel's work on the '70s miniseries "How the West Was Won" was pretty epic.
This score is very Jerry Fielding adjacent. It has that dissonant strings feeling that much of Fielding's work had: Lawman, The Mechanic, Straw Dogs...
Yeah I personally hear more Jerry Fielding than Jerry Goldsmith in the available samples and Main Title video. Maybe even a bit of 70s Williams sound! Good stuff.
Some TV series when they went over seas, for what ever reason, had completely different theme done for them by another composer. Some shows even re-scored. I seem to recall "CHiPs", for example, was re-scored in one country.
