Speaking of which. I know we've had scores featuring a typewriter, egg-shaker and such as laaarrrkkkkkk, but has anyone ever used a 'vacuum cleaner' in their scores?
My money would be on that Ennio fellow if it has been done.

Malcolm Arnold’s “Grand Grand Overture” is scored for orchestra, 3 hoovers, 1 floor polisher, and 4 rifles....not film music, but it includes fairly significant use of said items!

Why would it be the last? As long as some label wants to pony up the dough of crowd-source the dough, they'll keep doing things.

I see that some YooChoobers complained that it wasn't an accurate representation. False "theatre" pistols firing blanks (instead of the real killing rifles), and bloody cut-price modern "cute-size" vaccuum cleaners instead of the hellishly noisy upright airplane engines on wheels our (grand)mothers used.

Mr Leigh Phillips - I do hope you have scoured the auction houses for the exact make of egg-shaker heard so prominently in JG's splendidly nerve-wracking "Late Date". I know my Ronson from my Hobson, and so should every houseproud geek who has his clackers in place.

We went one better; we used the *actual* egg shaker that featured on the orignal “Late Date”........honest....

ANNOYING POST: NUMBER 2,923
-------------------------------------
Is it time? James, you said "about April", and March is about April. I'm getting so tired staring at all those Jerry Goldsmith CDs around me which I've only listened to once. I want more.

Post of the year.

I haven't even got the first Thriller or Salamander yet! I'm really slacking, someone call Bob Dobb!

Just up via Bookface, I've seen Tadlow's 8-minute video highlighting parts of THRILLER 2, specifically "The Bride Who Died Twice" (with more than a hint of JG's big-screen Westerns) and "Masquerade" (you'll hear that it reuses some of the thematic material from the previous volume's "Well of Doom", but less lumbering because Richard Kiel isn't in it).

Right at the end of the video, it says "Released by Tadlow Music in April 2018". April 17 to be exact. So there you go!

Finally got around to giving this CD a spin.
I do hope all you Goldsmith nuggets clamouring for some new Jerry Varese sh!t today already own this and have exhausted it's virtues!!
While not as initially 'ear-grabbing' as the first volume, it's still better than 90% of ANYTHING I've heard by ANYONE doing new film music these days.
That point James makes earlier in this thread, about today's composers being forced to hear what joyfully inventive and scary noises can be made by a handful of live players with real instruments, is so true.
As well as all those 60's westerns mentioned in The Bride Who Died..., I also detected a bit of Outland in it's opening cue.
And Goldsmith nearly does some Leonard Rosenman pyramids in the last score (Terror In Teakwood?? Or was it Masquerade?)
Anyway, it's all really solid stuff.
Can't wait to listen to it again.
Excellent job from all around.

Kev - so you're one of those bankers who buys CDs and lets them sit for over a year on a shelf before even getting the shrink-wrap off? Or you've only just bought it? Either way it's a merchant banker scenario. Oh, and didn't you know that I created, last year, a thread specifically to address the MUSIC on this CD? Use the search engine! I'd do a direct link but you know I can't when I'm in my spaceship. Interstellar banker y'know.

I haven't had it THAT long (and the search engine only flummin ponied up this thread).
I'd forgotten about it for a while and then I replayed Volume One and thought (screen goes wobbly) 'did I ever pick up that new volume of Jerry TV Thriller scores? (screen goes back to normal).
And I hadn't.
So I managed to bag a copy off ebay for about 12 quid and it arrived in the post, as they are wont to do.
But then I had a fight with John Blankenshop about who could buy the most new soundtrack CD's.
So I ordered a sh!tload (as the bishop said to the wife's priest) and they all arrived...at once.
But John Blankenshop still won, cos he bought out Intrada AND LaLaLand!!!
So I just went back to listening to my CD's, which brings me right back to (screen goes wobbly) "So, I finally got around to listening to this CD..."
