Can anyone recommend any of the Goldsmith scores that are still available from the FSM catalog? I imagine there are not any five-star, holy trails, but I bet there are some good discoveries to be had. Any input would be greatful.
You're wrong...more five-star Goldsmith Holy Grails on FSM besides the three you have:
Islands in the Stream (blows away the Intrada re recording)
Dr. Kildare (amazing variety and each of his scores on the level of a feature film score)
Cain's Hundred (almost as good as the preceding...)
Under Fire (if you don't have it already from some other label...or even if you do the new liner notes are great)
The Last Run (freaking awesome and it comes with bonuses)
After you've got all of those five-star releases, the following are also very good especially at 30% off:
Logan's Run (I admire it more than enjoy it because I find the synths hard to take at times), Outland (excellent and definitive but perhaps better in film than on album), the Homecoming (not amazing like the above but still lovely and intimate and paired with fun early Horner)...
Now the other available Goldsmith titles are good too but those should be your highest priority IMO.

I am happy to see the discussion of our titles. Probably most people know—the CD pages here at FSM have generous sound clips. I never wanted people to feel like they were buying a CD blind. (Thanks to Neil Bulk who prepped and loaded most of them!)
So on The Traveling Executioner, why wonder when you can follow the link...

In terms of hidden FSM gems, may I recommend A Man Called Horse by Rosenman, which I find to be one of his most accessible and beautiful works. I also can't understand why there isn't more discussion of Days of Heaven which has to be one of the most beautiful scores ever written period and which is an absolutely phenomenal release, not to missed.
Hear, hear.

Thank you Yavar and everyone else for the input. I own too many CDs :-) and have yet to listen to a great majority of them. So, I apologize for not listing what I owned up front (FSM/Goldsmith wise). I own Islands in the Stream, Cain's Hundred and Under Fire. I look forward to finally listening to those.
That said, I got what I needed from your post. I think I'm buying Dr. Kildare, Last Run and Logan's Run. Who knows, The Traveling Executioner might end up in the cart too :-) The two cues before the final one sound fantastic!
Thanks again for all the great posts!

Lukas, I have always appreciated the generosity of FSM's clips. Especially in regards to those films with which I am unfamiliar. Nothing will get me interested more quickly than clips for the entire album, as I am given an idea of the sound and general tone of the whole score.
I cannot understand why FSM remains the only label to have done this, but since its closure, I virtually never blind buy anymore. Why would I?

How I wish you would reincarnate FSM, Lukas.
Me too!
I think it would be the only way to see again vintage John Williams scores of the 60s and early 70s.
