I like Baldet's 'Time Machine' version better. ;-)

I made a 5-minute cut of all the variations of the theme, and I play it often. Love it to death!

This is one where in the grand scheme of film scores it's not a must-have, but to a Goldsmith fan such as myself it is a substantial and satisfying score with some signature Jerry moments, among these being the clockwork motif of the kidnapper, the initial love theme of the couple given a mournful reprise later in the score, the ferocious timpani-laden finale, and the pleasant lite-jazz theme rounding out the score. The score is in Jerry's streamlined 90's thriller mode much like Malice, but while it may not have the latter's striking and distinctive female chorus theme, as a whole it's not quite as derivative of Basic Instinct as Malice is.
I agree on that Alex, and I also think that Vanishing is actually more listenable as a whole experience than Malice, granted that Basic Instinct is probably a superior score. Vanishing is streamlined, and not as much of a dark experience as Basic Instinct. While it does have some similarities to Basic Instinct Vanishing comes across as a more internal / mentally motivated score to me.

I'm just totally loving this score...I've heard it in the past but never totally connected to it -- now I'm playing it back to back to back. It is brilliant from open to close, not one weak spot...I love the stress on woodwinds. I also love that Goldsmith even gave a theme to the symbol for infinity in the movie! Whenever the symbol appears Goldsmith brings in one of his trademark magic 'n wonder synth pads and plays this delicate, childlike melody. Outstanding. The score is so fantastically interwoven with disturbing menace, desperate urgency, and somber elegance. Not to mention the jazz arrangement to close out the score...and the synths in this one are some of his best in his odd electronic arsenal. I like this score better than, say, Not Without My Daughter or Sleeping With the Enemy...those scores seem more dated and weren't as appealing to me as The Vanishing. I even prefer The Vanishing over its similar cousin Malice, and I might even go so far to say that I prefer The Vanishing to its closest counterpart, Basic Instinct, which covers a lot of the same moods and tones with icy, crystal clear strings and individual instrumentation to let players shine by themselves.
Based on my extreme love for this score and its status on the Varese Club list, I have rarely been more shocked at an item not selling out by now. I have a hard time understanding why any Goldsmith fan wouldn't like this one. If any of you out there that don't like the score are reading this, I'd love to know why you don't like it. Anyone else, check it out good folks!!!
