Fastest intrada order ever!! The original music sounds so much better in the samples than the album. And such clarity!! This will be the highlight of my week and month etc..
I'm only familiar with this through the Varese CD (which is terrific). Fortunately the Intrada is 5000 copies so should be around for a little while yet. If 5000 copies go in the next couple of days I shall not be happy.
Boris Sagal directed Masada – same guy who did The Omega Man. He was well-served by his composers!
I see he died in the same year he finished Masada :-(
He was also Katie Sagal's Father - you might remember her from "Married - With Children"...:-)
And the voice of Turanga Leela on Futurama.
As for this album, I'll certainly pick this up, although I'm glad I made a CDR backup copy of the Varese album before I traded it off last year, as Goldsmith's rerecordings tend to be a lot different from the film tracks.
"Sagal was killed in an accident during production of the miniseries World War III, when he was partially decapitated after walking into the tail rotor blades of a helicopter in the parking lot of the Timberline Lodge in Oregon. Sagal was replaced with David Greene the next day."
