Hi Lukas & FSM,
just wanted to let you know that a fellow records & soundtrack collector and DJ in Berlin told me recently that, for him
"THE SPLIT is the best CD which was ever produced" !!!!
Literally! Ever!
He normally doesn't buy CDs, but vinyl only, used or new - but since I know that he's totally into 60s and 70s funk soundtracks and similar stuff and digs the great Q a lot, I pointed him to that album the moment the sound clips appeared online at SAE.
Luckily with the biggest possible effect.
Needless to say, I myself love the album immensely as well and there's a very good chance that at the end of the year it will be my favourite soundtrack release of 2009. I'm listening to THE SPLIT nearly every day since its release.
A fantastic album!
Just for absurdity's sake - the German film title was called in typically ridiculous fashion back then:
"Bullen - wie lange wollt ihr leben?" (Cops - How Long Do You Want To Live?)

Listening to it right now, and enyoing it greatly. What a score! Where are scores like these today, that really thrill me? Love it!
I'll play the heretic - I could do without the songs, mostly. The orchestral selections are topnotch, of course.

Chris, I LOVE the main title song, but the other one is marginal. I'm just glad to get a Quincy Jones
score that is COMPLETE at long last. If Universal has been breached, I'd be overwhelmed if someone
ever released his wild, jazzy score for the unofficial remake of MIRAGE, JIGSAW.
By the way, TCM is running the weird Sidney Poiter flick this week, BROTHER JOHN, which features a
rather good Jones effort. (I think it's a middle of the night showing, so check your local schedule.)
