I loved it the minute I heard the opening titles, when I saw the film for the first time. I have been hunting the original cd for almost ten years now, and I saddled upon a copy. My favorite cues are Removing the Chips and the brillant The End of Cali. I haven´t sadly heard anything else by Mr. Folk, so, what else would you recommend by him? Philipp np: "toy soldiers" (robert folk)    Posted:   Jan 19, 2007 - 6:58 PM     By:   Squiddybop   (Member) I finally got a copy of this last year from Moviemusic.com. It was missing the front insert so I got it for under $10. Great score. If you can find it you'll want to get Beastmaster II: Through the Portal of Time as well. NP: Twelve Kingdoms (Kunihiko Ryo)    Posted:   Jan 19, 2007 - 7:08 PM     By:   Michael_McMahan   (Member) Yeah, this is a great score, as is Beastmaster II. I LOVE the second track on Beastmaster II that builds up for like 10 minutes until it finally breaks out into the great theme. Rousing stuff! There was a 2 cd promotional set produced by Intrada that has many of Folk's best compositions, including Police Academy, Tremors, Arabian Knight. It's pretty hard to find his Neverending Story II, which is also a fantastic orchestral score. Worth tracking down though. NP: Padre Pio (Morricone- this cd keeps amazing me every time I play it. Another one to look out for!)    Posted:   Jan 19, 2007 - 7:14 PM     By:   Hercule Platini   (Member) Lawnmower Man 2: Beyond Cyberspace is another big epic orchestral score. Varese and BSX still have it. There's also a 2-CD set: Robert Folk: Selected Suites" of music from various Folk scores which includes a lot of unreleased material, including 9:13 from Police Academy. This promotional set orginally came out via Intrada, but I think is now hard to get hold of; I think I got mine off eBay. Eight orchestras are credited for the ten scores, so I guess they're the original soundtracks. NP: THE GREAT RAID (Trevor Rabin)    Posted:   Jan 19, 2007 - 8:02 PM     By:   drivingmissdaisy   (Member) The 2 CD set was as many have said the best one to get though now it's hard as heck and expensive. I LOVE his Police Academy theme, it's so grand in it's melody. On that 2 CD set, I love his Can't Buy Me Love score, that is probably my all time favorite that wonderful 9minute suite is all I have.    Posted:   Jan 19, 2007 - 8:58 PM     By:   Hercule Platini   (Member) The 2 CD set was as many have said the best one to get though now it's hard as heck and expensive. Indeed. There's just one on eBay, Buy-It-Now at $108 (it's on eBay UK but the item is in Japan!).    Posted:   Jan 20, 2007 - 2:04 PM     By:   drivingmissdaisy   (Member) Thanks Richard, I just bought it!!! $108 isn't bad at all for this, thanks for the link!    Posted:   Jan 20, 2007 - 9:34 PM     By:   Hercule Platini   (Member) Thanks Richard, I just bought it!!! $108 isn't bad at all for this, thanks for the link! That's probably four or five times what I paid! Still, if you're happy with that...    Posted:   Jan 22, 2007 - 3:35 AM     By:   drivingmissdaisy   (Member) I'm very happy for you Richard Street. This is a great 2 CD set and since money is not an issue, I find the $108.00 US dollars not bad at all. Sure I wish I could have foudn it for cheaper, but $108 I'm very HAPPY by it!!    Posted:   Jul 16, 2008 - 9:08 AM     By:   Grimsdyke   (Member) Has anybody ever made a chronological sequencing of this CD ?? Some cues from different places in the movie have unfortunately been glued together.    Posted:   Jul 16, 2008 - 9:13 AM     By:   johnjohnson   (Member) The 2 CD set was as many have said the best one to get though now it's hard as heck and expensive.

Took me waaaay too long to finally get this. Does anyone happen to have the chronological order of the tracks as heard in the film? Thanks in advance!    Posted:   Jun 11, 2009 - 12:58 PM     By:   Cryogenix   (Member) .    Posted:   Jun 11, 2009 - 1:20 PM     By:   Jeff M   (Member) Awesome Cryogenix! Thanks so much, even if it isn't precise it's a lot closer than I could get. By the way, Netflix's "Watch now" feature has Toy Soldiers in its original aspect ratio... ironically, if you rent the dvd from them it is the FULL SCREEN release, but the watch now online has correct 1:85 widescreen... I saw this on Netflix recently and this was my first time seeing the film in its original presentation... looked great!    Posted:   Jun 11, 2009 - 1:23 PM     By:   Cryogenix   (Member) .    Posted:   Jun 11, 2009 - 2:35 PM     By:   Cryogenix   (Member) .    Posted:   Jun 11, 2009 - 5:23 PM     By:   Cryogenix   (Member) .    Posted:   Jun 12, 2009 - 12:58 PM     By:   Gold Digger   (Member) Robert Folk is one of the many great talents that are often ignored. I fell in love with his Toy Soldiers score thanks to Intrada and adore Beastmaster 2. A crap movie with such an inventive score you wonder what he was thinking. A fab talent. I will never forget standing behind him at CTS as he conducted "The Alarm" from Lawnmower Man 2 and thinking this is fucking heaven. Robert Folk is a gent and hero of film music. Lets not forget these guys like Hollywood does!    Posted:   Jun 12, 2009 - 2:17 PM     By:   Cryogenix   (Member) .    Posted:   Jun 13, 2009 - 3:24 PM     By:   johnjohnson   (Member) http://www.robertfolk.com/     General Discussion: Toy Soldiers - Robert Folk    < 1 2  > >>  Go to page:  1 2   First Post    General Discussion • Trading Post • Non-Film Score Discussion  Profile • Preferences • Community Rules • Help/Contact • Search Board You must log in or register to post.   Go to page:  1 2
