This THE LLL release! Ordered from Creature Features so I can get my 5th David Shire autograph.

I would love to have my 2010 autographed. That would be amazing!!! This will be my first David Shire autograph.

And Schiffy manages to contradict two opposite statements.

Only if you consider "often" and "always" to be synonymous.

Why would I?
To solium you wrote as if his observation was just for this one score, so you gave a list of rejects without film artwork.
To my comment that none had film artwork, you wrote: "Sometimes!" and gave a list of rejects with film artwork.


Oh boy, you just love to mock me, don't you?

To solium, I wrote that rejected scores don't use film artwork "as often as not." Meaning it's about 50/50. Then you wrote that rejected scores "never" use film artwork, to which I replied that they sometimes do. Meaning about 50/50.

So where's the contradiction?

Yeesh! I didn't mean to cause a ruckus with my artwork comment. At least not in this case.

I’m avoiding the sound clips until I receive my copy. They had me at the description.

Sounds pretty great actually. I can't wait to hear the full thing. Sounds better than what was used.

So what do you guys think of this release? I'm actually enjoying it the most! The first track "Into the Jungle" is so trippy and cool. Closs your eyes while listening to it and you can actually get lost in that world. This score is Terminator before Terminator. It's amazing how so many movies in the 80s would come to utilize this type of sound.

Thanks! I bet Tim found several more gems while he was there.

"I'm on a personal mission to bring more of David’s scores into the world, including a few more that were rejected."


Yes, please.


I wonder if he found any others in that collection I don't know about, or maybe Shire had forgotten about.

I'm very curious about this.

Of course, I also picked up Close Encounters and E.T., mostly because I'm looking forward to the new mixes. (I usually don't keep rebuying the same scores over and over, but for these two I had to make the jump.)

But David Shire's score for Apocalypse Now, wow, that's something I am very excited about and wonder how this will sound. Ironically, I sampled one or two clips, and it sounds not unlike the Coppola score that actually ended up in the movie. I had to order this.

Can’t wait to receive my copy and dive into those liner notes and of course, absorb all this “new” music.

I've only had a chance to give it one quick spin, but it's very interesting. I ordered it w/ Titanic and Close Encounters and this is the most interesting of the releases to me. There's some music concrete elements in there and some unique use of synths to emulate real-world sounds (e.g. a synth that sputters up, like a helicopter spinning up). Overall the music sounds like 2010 on acid. The release is gorgeously packaged and there are very extensive liner notes. Well worth checking out!

I imagine it's explained in the booklet, but since I havent received my copy yet, what does "assembled and reconstructed" mean? Were there several layers, or overlays, per track? Any re-recording of electronic music?

After just one close listen on headphones, this is undoubtedly one of my favorite releases over the last several years by our favorite labels. Had no idea what to expect, aside from the few published samples that initially impressed me. But now, and to imagine hearing this on top of the movie, I'm even more intrigued. I hear a ton of HUH?, mixed with a little ENTER THE DRAGON, combined with WTF WAS THAT? Absolutely love it...ahead of its time.

All the best to MV and those who are struggling with the wildfires...thoughts are with you and yours.

I know that Dan Wyman did a lot of the synth work, but what about the other two synthesists who allegedly worked on Shire's score; Bernie Krause and Michael Boddicker...are they mentioned in the CD liner notes?

I read in Bob Moog's article "Apocalypse now: The Synthesizer Soundtrack" that when the Sound Arts involvement with the film came to and end, Krause and Shirley Walker were asked to remain at Zoetrope.
