Let's not forget Thorne's score to RETURN TO LONESOME DOVE. This was an excellent follow-up score to Poledouris' original.
Again, I don't know much about this score. Was it recoded in L.A. or London?

But the comment that disappoints me is your line
MaxB
That's life....
Deal with it.
I have no interest in that topic and won't waste my time on it...
If it helps you get through the day, that's fine with me...
Can return to the topic of this thread please?

I deal with life every day, as I'm sure you do. Thank you for your candor...

So, I guess the chances for an album in the near future may be quite dismal, but, like you say, patience, all good things come to those who wait.
Ok. I'll be patient.
Thanks.

it's a true shame James Fitzpatrick abandoned ideas to re-record They Might Be Giants.

There is some difference of opinion based on some things that I've been told by informed sources on the topic of these projects.
Taking someone's tune and using it to score a film is somethnig far more then just "Arranging" in my view based on my experience.
The suite that SILVA recorded (Which I went over to Mr. Thorne's house to get the written scores for that recording) really covers the meat of it as far as I'm concerned.
But, if someone wants to pay for it, GO FOR IT.

I remember way back in 1985 seeing the commercial for Jackie Chan's The Protector and loving the very catchy music in the background. I assumed (since I was young and ignorant then) that they were playing the theme or some action bit from the movie (I still don't know, I never saw it), but I did spot Ken Thorne's name in the credit blurb at the end of the preview. I never did track that down....

As I recall, there was a LP release of that score if memory serves me correctly.

Yeah. We should all rate things we don't know.
Ignorance isn't something to be proud of....
Before you pass judgement on someone's career perhaps it would be important to look at something more then two pieces of work in the context of a nearly 60 YEAR carrer?
Enough with this sillyness about talking about what wee've heard, and stick to hear say, for that's where the REAL discussion is!

Good to see Ford's sense of humour prevails. Had this been a Danny Elfman thread, a reference to Elfman's history with the Fivehouse franchise would have not met with this affected indignation.

Be Silent LOWER FORM...
If such a post had caught my attention I would have made the exact same remark...
Perhaps we can return to the topic..
(you do have a comment to offer about Mr. Thorne's work don't you?)

My comment re: Ken Thorne would be that I would be glad to hear more of his music.
EDIT - Perhaps I should just do the dove thing and hold the olive branch in my mouth.

One score that I'm quite fond on (and it was issued on LP) is his music for the Tom Selleck film "LASSITER"...
A bit jazzy and quite catchy...
Now if only VARESE would put that out in the next club batch...

Even though I'm underwhelmed by the cut-and-paste nature of Ken Thorne's assignment on the SUPERMAN sequels, it's quite plain that those scores are crafted by a very talented musician. I don't think I've ever heard anything else by Thorne, but the sound quality and length of the Blue Box discs has convinced me that his music is worth seeking out. Thanks, Ford, for starting this interesting thread. You've produced so many great albums yourself, and championed so many lesser-known composers, that I was wondering whether there's any chance of a Thorne album from you one of these days?
p.s.: Did you work on the ARABIAN ADVENTURE Prometheus disc? I missed that one, but I'll try to seek it out.
