how spacious this music is, not just in terms of tempo and orchestration (i don't even know if i'm using the right words for what i mean) but in terms of the instruments, the colors and shades being used simultaneously always seem to be at opposite ends of a spectrum, if that makes any sense, employing contrast more than most film scores do, or at least in a way i haven't picked up on before, i guess evoking the separation in time and backdrop that the film is built around.
i was a fan of the film, i was fourteen at the time and i remember renting it more than once, but this isn't a case of nostalgia, i'm only finding out now how much i dig the easy-breezy flow of the music, it's especially loose (not the right word but i give up) for a horror film, although i guess it's more of an adventure, and the emphasis is on the mystique of it all.
the first stand out release for me this year, and i did not expect it.

For me, the best thing about this release is the much improved sound.
I always found the original CD too long and my programme consisted of...
The Sentence
The Weather Vane
Nails
Salt Water Attack
The Salt Flats - tt - 32'00 mins
Having played through the expansion, my new programme is EXACTLY the same, but like I say, the new sound master is a fantastic improvement on the old CD.

One of Jerry's greatest skills was letting the music and the movie breathe, using either silence or more musically negative space in his score between his more extremely densely composed sections. A lot of composers, especially far less trained and experienced ones, treat scores as pop songs, with very little breath in the composition, and very little space for the movie itself. Despite Jerry being a master composer, and capable of remarkably forward, aggressive and intense composition, he knew that movie is "the thing".
I agree that Warlock, especially so gorgeously remastered, is a revelation, such depth, pace and musicality.

Intrada and LLL still do track-by-track sometimes; it's just not the rule as it became with FSM. I miss it too -- especially for Goldsmith scores!

Been a while since I've seen the film, so bear with me: The cue in the film begins when Redferne smashes the Warlock's skull, then he tells Kassandra (in a stumbling, flowery way) that there may have been a chance for them as a couple had they not been from different time periods. He seems to disappear in a whirlwind and there is a message left on his headstone (forget what it was, but it was lovely). Then, Kassandra sees the book. She buries it in the Salt Flats of Utah (it being established that the Warlock is harmed by salt) and drives off. Then, cut to credits. It plays better than I make it sound.
Not having seen it since it came out, I just rented this from Netflix and you pretty much nailed it!
Wow, given the mainstream drivel that goes into theaters these days, WARLOCK seems such a clever, original, and comparatively literate minor masterpiece in retrospect! I really enjoyed it, not the least on account of Goldsmith's wonderful score....

Warlock got zapped from Intrada's stocks.
Soul doubt.

A wonderful, unique, underrated score. I hope everyone who wanted one got a copy. And if you didn't, perhaps it's still possible to do from other retailers for a short time...

What year will Yavar do a Goldsmith-Odyssey-podcast on Warlock? Year 2091?

If I had to guess I'd say 2023  -- haven't calculated it.

More like it was left on Crait.
That's right. TWO movie references.
