It's rather rare he does interviews, isn't it? Getting up there now, Sylvester, at almost 80, but great to hear him speak. I haven't heard that before. He sounds kinda like his partner Moroder.    Posted:   Aug 1, 2024 - 2:22 PM     By:   First Breath   (Member) I believe he is positive towards interviews, but I guess he is not contacted every day about it.. Yes, I thought about Moroder too when I saw this. Levay is a big Williams (and Goldsmith) fan, and he is friendly with Zimmer and JNH. How cool had it been if Hans would collaborate with Levay on a score before it's too late...    Posted:   Aug 2, 2024 - 9:27 AM     By:   Captain_Kaos   (Member) Very interesting interview.    Posted:   Aug 3, 2024 - 1:57 AM     By:   ray92   (Member) As I could hear from this interview, Sylvester Levay basically did the entire score for FLASHDANCE, and did a few bars for the song What a Feeling. Moroder focused more on the songs (Apparently, as in the case of SCARFACE). It's good that at least Levay's name was added to the opening credits. Moroder in this regard reminded me of Jack Nitzsche, but Jack at least himself did the arrangement of all his scores. Arrangement is essentially the basis of composition. Levay is very talented, but I think it's unlikely that he will compose anything for films, even with Zimmer, given the current rules of Hollywood. His last score was made 30 years ago...    Posted:   Aug 3, 2024 - 3:07 AM     By:   First Breath   (Member) Last Hollywood score 30 years ago, but at least he did a few things in Europe between 1998 and 2007. What I would be interested in knowing is if he ever has composed instrumental music that has nothing to do with films or musicals. A solo CD by Levay had been fantastic.    Posted:   Aug 3, 2024 - 3:14 AM     By:   ray92   (Member) Here's someone who made a pretty good DVD/BLU-RAY rip of the Cobra score: https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLq2Ml78aJTZoJ0o8BpW9A6TAe5idUUgYK&si=x_huF_j239IhNHxI    Posted:   Aug 3, 2024 - 3:16 AM     By:   ray92   (Member) I realy love this cue: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sofN-WsQIsk&list=PLq2Ml78aJTZoJ0o8BpW9A6TAe5idUUgYK&index=11    Posted:   Aug 3, 2024 - 3:22 AM     By:   ray92   (Member) This remaster original soundtrack: https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLq2Ml78aJTZoJ0o8BpW9A6TAe5idUUgYK&si=tfvptqWtlBMNjPSu    Posted:   Aug 3, 2024 - 3:26 AM     By:   ray92   (Member) Last Hollywood score 30 years ago, but at least he did a few things in Europe between 1998 and 2007.

Yeah, I'd be also interested in seeing his non-film related instrumental music too. He always had really cool and catchy themes.    Posted:   Aug 3, 2024 - 3:29 AM     By:   ray92   (Member) Listening to the COBRA rip, it's definitely clear that there are sounds/synths in there that Levay used when he arranged SCARFACE for Moroder. GREAT stuff!    Posted:   Aug 3, 2024 - 5:14 AM     By:   First Breath   (Member) I realy love this cue: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sofN-WsQIsk&list=PLq2Ml78aJTZoJ0o8BpW9A6TAe5idUUgYK&index=11 Nice, but a bit monotonous.    Posted:   Aug 3, 2024 - 7:35 AM     By:   Micki Moreau   (Member) It's obscure and not that popular for the 80s, but I would love to have the score for Something is out there.    Posted:   Aug 3, 2024 - 10:37 AM     By:   Captain_Kaos   (Member) Come on labels! "Airwolf"- & "Cobra"-Soundtrack please (and maybe "Wet Gold" too).    Posted:   Aug 3, 2024 - 10:40 AM     By:   Thor   (Member) Come on labels! "Airwolf"- & "Cobra"-Soundtrack please (and maybe "Wet Gold" too). AIRWOLF and COBRA already have some kind of soundtracks. There are dozens upon dozens of unreleased Levay scores that need attention.    Posted:   Aug 3, 2024 - 2:53 PM     By:   First Breath   (Member) Come on labels! "Airwolf"- & "Cobra"-Soundtrack please (and maybe "Wet Gold" too). I believe Levay talked about WET GOLD (without mentioning the title) in the interview. It was a replacement score he did in a few hours in 1984, replacing John Scott.    Posted:   Aug 4, 2024 - 6:48 AM     By:   Captain_Kaos   (Member) Come on labels!

It was a replacement score he did in a few hours in 1984, replacing John Scott. Levay is fast and good. I like his early stuff most (1980 - 1986).    Posted:   Aug 4, 2024 - 12:26 PM     By:   First Breath   (Member) Come on labels! "Airwolf"- & "Cobra"-Soundtrack please (and maybe "Wet Gold" too).

FLASHFIRE from 1994 is a great score: https://youtu.be/tlIOGUl6xdY?si=nOrkyuyYFAYyJKwZ    Posted:   Aug 4, 2024 - 1:38 PM     By:   ray92   (Member) Come on labels!

I checked only the opening and closing credits.    Posted:   Aug 5, 2024 - 4:28 AM     By:   Dr Johnny Fever   (Member) It's obscure and not that popular for the 80s, but I would love to have the score for Something is out there. Would love a release too! The score for the mini-series is fantastic.     General Discussion: 2024 Sylvester Levay video interview    < 1 2  > >>  Go to page:  1 2   First Post    General Discussion • Trading Post • Non-Film Score Discussion  Profile • Preferences • Community Rules • Help/Contact • Search Board You must log in or register to post.   Go to page:  1 2
