And The Deep, and Mussolini, and Lock Up, and Robocop, and Toy Soldiers, and The Miracle Worker, and White Fang, and Mary, Queen of Scots, and Switchback, and . . . (It's no fun being new to this hobby, and feeling like you probably won't get to most of these scores for many years. At least there is enough great stuff to listen to that is in print!)    Posted:   Jun 11, 2013 - 5:08 PM     By:   LeHah   (Member) Inchon is a curious score. It's sort of like the little sister to Goldsmith's score to MacArthur (if MacArthur is the little brother of Patton). It's got some interesting textures and ideas but seems to not gel as well as some of Jerry's other scores from the same era. I'm looking at you First Blood!    Posted:   Jun 11, 2013 - 6:53 PM     By:   samlowry   (Member) Not all folks that sell valuable cd's are necessarily speculators. I'm a collector who always bought cd's for myself with no intention to resell them, but after I decided to rip my collection into Lossless files, it wasn't imperative for me to keep all my cd's, so I chose to sell some of the most valuable ones, while they still had some value. Never sold Inchon though. I loved that score and wanted to keep it. I'm happy that it is now available for everyone.    Posted:   Jun 11, 2013 - 6:54 PM     By:   McMillan & Husband   (Member) Inchon is a curious score.

I'd actually take Inchon over MacArthur.    Posted:   Jun 11, 2013 - 7:16 PM     By:   jonathan_little   (Member) I'm a huge Goldsmith fan but this is definitely one of those that I just don't get. The recording and performance are atrocious and the music isn't anywhere good enough for me to subject myself to that. The best thing about the score is his use of the beautiful traditional Korean folk song Arirang... (e.g. "The Children")    Posted:   Jun 12, 2013 - 8:12 AM     By:   Dana Wilcox   (Member) I'm a huge Goldsmith fan but this is definitely one of those that I just don't get.

The best thing about the score is his use of the beautiful traditional Korean folk song Arirang... (e.g. "The Children") I get what you're saying about recording and performance. The film was something of a boondoggle top to bottom, and the resources Jerry Goldsmith had available to him were pretty pathetic. Some of the music as I recall was recorded in a fruit cellar, for example. Regardless of these limitations, Goldsmith wrote a unique and complex score well worth hearing, and owning (IMO of course). Those of us who endured the joys of soundtrack collecting in the LP days are not deterred by a few minor issues like sound quality and performance imperfections; if the music's good, you take what you can get. Having heard INCHON "as is" first on LP and then on CD, courtesy of Intrada, it's hard to imagine hearing it DDD performed by the London Symphony in some grand concert hall. Somehow it would lose a bit of its character, for me at least.    Posted:   Jun 12, 2013 - 2:40 PM     By:   Rnelson   (Member) I'm a huge Goldsmith fan but this is definitely one of those that I just don't get.

Somehow it would lose a bit of its character, for me at least. I think the performance and recording dynamics conspire to sabotage this score. Along with "The Casandra Crossing" (Tadlow's newly recording suite on "The Salamander" CD convinced me of that) this one would breathe a whole lot better with a better orchestral performance and more expansive recording.    Posted:   Jun 22, 2013 - 5:04 AM     By:   JamesSouthall   (Member) My review of the reissue, if anyone's interested: http://www.movie-wave.net/?p=3731    Posted:   Jul 9, 2014 - 4:34 PM     By:   Mr. Jack   (Member) Finally picked this up...a rare Goldsmith score I had never owned, let alone heard, prior to this reissue. It's a solid score, although the "compressed" recording (as in the choice of wine cellar recording "studio" ambiance rather than technical ineptitude) takes some getting used to...the score should sound "bigger" than it does. Still, a solid effort from Mr. G, even if it's no Patton (or even MacArthur).    Posted:   Jul 9, 2014 - 10:32 PM     By:   Amer Zahid   (Member) While I was glad to get the 2nd re-issue- it somehow hasnt gelled with me. Similarly THE CHALLENGE also took its time and later I was hooked. I didnt like TOTAL RECALL when it first came out and then somehow it changed and that album is a cult favorite of mine. I see a pattern here.. lol    Posted:   Jan 23, 2015 - 11:11 PM     By:   riotengine   (Member) Been giving this one a listen lately and I'm rather liking it. Greg Espinoza    Posted:   Jun 3, 2018 - 6:16 PM     By:   That Neil Guy   (Member) Glad I picked this up when it first came out. Not sure I'd be willing to shell out $1,999.71 for a copy. https://amzn.to/2JpLUXv    Posted:   Jun 3, 2018 - 6:23 PM     By:   Yavar Moradi   (Member) You would've been fine, because Intrada later reissued it again: http://store.intrada.com/s.nl/it.A/id.8120/.f Yavar     General Discussion: New Intrada: Inchon (Jerry Goldsmith)    << < 1 2 3  >   Go to page:  1 2 3   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 3
