Hey, Heinrich...you didn't respond to my Goldenthal topic about his latest "Brass Quintet" release. Have you heard it?

Hello Thor! I did some research about Elliot via search function, and I finally found your topic about the Brass Quintet! Thank you for the tip! smile

Cobb is an absolutely stunning score that is far too often ignored. Goldenthal himself called it, "One of my lost children."

It's a wonderful and eclectic mix of classical pastiche (love the Mendelssohn nod), folk music (that's Elliot on vocals in the opening track, btw), Americana and blatant modernism. Which is, of course, everything we love Goldenthal for.

Once upon a time we tried to get editor Paul Seydor, orchestrator Bob Elhai and Elliot on board for an analysis for FSM, but schedules never quite came together. Too bad... There are still pieces of interviews strewn about that need to see the light of day. Maybe someday.

In the mean time, congrats on your find. No one should ever pass up this little gem.

yeah, i just found it cheap at RASPUTIN.
i SAW THE FILM but not until i listened to the cd have i been able to truly appreciate its excellence.

This score is simply superb stuff, what an underrated score this is. I put it in my top 100 of all time for sure.

Here's proof that americana scores can be modern and inventive.

Shame that Doug Adams's analysis of the score didn't happen :/

I'm almost afraid to ask...did something happen to Doug? I've looked, and I can't find any recent postings!

He seems pretty active on Twitter, so I am guessing that he is fine - shame that he doesn't seem to be around here anymore. I'd love to hear a discussion on Cobb and/or other Goldenthal scores.

I would love to find a decent scan of the album cover.

Anyone know the name of the "old baptist hymn" adapted in the opening titles?

(Or was it actually not based on an existing piece of music?)

It was based on an old hymn by William Cowper. It's called "Praise for the Fountain Opened" aka 'A fountain filled with blood".

I love that it’s Goldenthal himself singing the hymn in the beginning. You can hear him also in alien 3 and brilliantly in Juan Darien.

He used to play and sing in a blues band. I've tried to find out more about it, but without knowing the name of it, I couldn't find much.

By the way, I've found online an untitled LP record (see link below) with Elliot Goldenthal's name attached to it. Does anybody know anything about this record?

Wow,what a surprise! Last week I found a copy of Goldenthal's 'Cobb' for sale at a steet fair for $3.99 (!) and decided to gamble on it though I'd never heard it before. The movie also came and went very quickly back in the early 90's, and I'd never even seen that.
I've never been a great fan of Goldenthal's, but this score is, for me,is his best. I think it may be better than his 'Alien 3'. It has some excitingly vivid string writing that makes me want to rent the film and see the images that accompany the music. Anyone else hear this (obscure) score?


This one is a surpise to me too. Will listen to it soon consideirng I'm a BIG Goldenthal fan.
