Big fave of mine, one of my first "I'm ditching cassettes for newfangled cds!" titles.
In hindsight, listening now, it's a frustrating one.
There is at least one MAJOR flub in the horns, Massara should have stopped & redone. No, I'm not telling where, your welcome. They did get the same identical phrase right in another cue, however...this is on my list of Please Re-Record (When Sows Soar).
The sequencing always bugged me too - dropping a droll suspense cue 'The Plan' towards the end kills the flow. The electronics started getting in the way, more overbearing, right about here too.
Ok, gripes done, maybe the last brilliant Pino/Brian collab, free of temp tracks, allowing PD some great focused attention (Flying Babies!!). If only more films catered to score like DePalma...
I also want nuts about the film but recommend the recent blu - its aging well enough & there is an interesting re-edit worth seeing for curiosity sake.
Cheers KMG!

It's not the immediate classic of a BLOW OUT or DRESSED TO KILL, but it's a definitely a grower. Every time I listen to it I think, "why don't I listen to this more often?"

Sean. I just heard the flub you mentioned!!
Wow!
Around the 2'45 section of the last track (Love Wins).
You're right, Natale really shoulda redone that one.
Aye, busted :-(
I know it's a big moment, lots happening , but still...
What happens when there is, gasp, counter lines not just 100 players hammering the same chords.
The correctly played phrase IS in trk.4 'Love Memories' at least...
Good discussion, this! I DID hate this at first, film & score because it wasn't DtoK or Body Dub. Grew on me though and since this collab kind of wound down, Cain advanced by default.
I never understood how y'all didnt go as ga-ga as I do over Body Double. One set piece after another, composer truly a star of the show. I had a coronary when Intrada got it on disc. Literally.
Blow Out is certainly in that company, but damn what a rough movie. Still rips my heart out. Terrific DePalma was able to keep that toughie ending intact.
Love those timps here!
Cheerrrrrrrs

I listened to a bit of Donaggio lately, and RAISING CAIN is sadly missing from my soundtrack collection, despite the fact that I got most of the other De Palma/Donaggio collaborations (I don't have SNAKE EYES, though IIRC Donaggio was originally attached but his score was not used? Don't know for sure anymore) and like them a lot.
I should get RAISING CAIN though.

Wow I can't believe I didn't chime in when this thread got started - must not have been around.
I LOVE Raising Cain - kind of my favorite DePalma, when it isn't Blow Out (which absolutely blew me away when I saw it first run - first time I thought Travolta was a real actor).
So fun that he gives so much for Lithgow to do, and such a cool twist at the climax - and just giddily over the top.
Always enjoyed the score very much as well, of course - but nothing much to add there.
Except - as a musician I've learned you have to learn to love your mistakes. Music isn't perfect unless it's made by machines. Makes it human.

---------------------------
Interesting.
I've never heard that before.
As far as I knew, the only score DePalma ever rejected was Alan Silvestri's, for the first MISSION IMPOSSIBLE film, in favour of a Danny Elfman replacement.
It's hard to believe he would toss a PD score from one of his films.
Anyone 'In Da Know' care to confirm/deny?
Yes, I would be very interested in that too, Wikipedia has it listed among Donaggio's filmography, but that could just be a mistake. It would be weird for De Palma to reject a Donaggio score, as they go way back and why would he hire Donaggio if he didn't want a Donaggio score?
