I have no idea what the filmmakers wanted to convey with it, but I found the operatic Goldsmith aria over the main titles - when you see the bomb - terribly inappropriate and over the top. It makes the main titles almost laughable. And the rest of the score - at least IMHO - is pretty much Goldsmith routine all the way. I dug it, but don't have the film anymore. The planes were A4 Skyhawks (I think.) The only thing is I don't believe those planes would ever carry nukes unless desperation set in, although they did convey exocets during the Falklands war. So I think the hymn was a good idea. The true Angels Of Death. The Main Title is explained in great detail in the notes by the director. Fascinating read. MV

Somewhat ironic considering your chosen moniker 'counterpoint'...no? For myself this opening is one of the most meaningful and breathtaking examples of that perfect marriage of visuals and music ever created for a film of this genre or perhaps any film. EVER.

Can't wait to pick this up tonight. I can't believe anyone would want this without If We Could Remember though. Jerry wrote it as part of the film, you can't "eliminate" it from the album! It's great, I think.

It does seem like The Same Air goes to the end of the orchestral recording and (hopefully) does not crossfade into the song (although the song still follows it on this album so it's possible). Personally, even if you like the song, I don't know why anyone would prefer to have the score crossfade into it. Who cares of Goldsmith was involved in writing it; it's got a much more obnoxious pop vibe than say It's a Long Road. James Horner was of course very involved in My Heart Will Go On, but I for one am so grateful that the last Titanic score cue doesn't crossfade into it because I never want to hear that Celine Dion again! Oh, and It's a Long Road doesn't crossfade from a previous score cue so when one wants to just listen to the orchestral score one has that option without a weird cut-off. Yavar
