KING KONG LIVES / HIGH PLAINS DRIFTER (INTRADA) - 02.10.2012

#1 Post autor: Adam » pn wrz 24, 2012 20:53 pm

Holiday week for me (or should I say holy day week?), so spilling some beans early. First is a straight reissue of a long long long out of print score from the mid to later 80s. LP came out at the time of the film's release, CD came only from Japan with some unwanted embellishments. The composer nailed the presentation so most of the short cues not included don't add much. Larger than life epic gets sweeping, action oriented score. A good and timely one to have back in circulation.

Second score features early 70s western premiere from a composer new to Intrada. Features a western star that is as big as they come.

Both in the Special Collection.

Much belated U.S. premiere on CD of dynamic, thrilling John Scott score for John Guillerman film about the big ape's new love... and his rampage when things don't go well. Scott creates rich overall theme for Kong and his lady and powerful edgier theme for arch enemy Col. Nemit. Both play throughout score in dramatic manner. Highlights are many but "Lady Kong Gets Gassed" merits spotlight. Scott also does courtesy of ending what he starts with stirring, fortissimo coda in major key. Powerful! Scott produced album in 1987, representing every major sequence of his score for terrific a record. CD did happen in Japan but only with intrusive ape roars. Happily, UMG vault masters of original U.S. album were available in perfect condition... without the grunts. Flipper cover offers two slightly different takes on original album cover art. John Scott conducts Graunke Symphony Orchestra. Intrada Special Collection release available while quantities and interest remains!

At long last! World premiere of complex, highly original score for justifiably famous Clint Eastern western with director as star. Dee Barton scores with unusually strong minor key main theme in western garb, then heads into Lago (the town) with much more under his saddle! Complex, experimental ideas play on strings, guitars, harmonica, percussion, early synths, electric bass, voice... an array of tense, dissonant colors! But there's much more than what has been known up to now: Universal's multi-track scoring session masters revealed numerous orchestral cues in traditional western guise that filmmakers dropped in favor of vivid experimental cues. New ideas like "Dummy Wagon" bring broad, expansive themes into play, action cues such as "Gunfight", "Shooting Stacy" offer intense brass figures amongst chaotic strings, even a sturdy vocal version of main theme with orchestra adds color, all of these being heard for first time ever, illuminating fact that composer intended much longer score than what (admittedly effective) amount remains in finished production. Dee Barton (famed composer/arranger for Stan Kenton as well as uncredited composer on several Dirty Harry films and composer of Eastwood's first directing effort: Play Misty For Me) writes with requisite nod to Morricone in use of rhythm, short motifs to punctuate script lines, so forth, but then takes off in his own direction with extremely challenging music - amongst western genre's most unorthodox ever. Intrada presentation offers every cue recorded by Barton, mixed into dynamic stereo from mint condition complete three-channel scoring session masters. Flipper cover offers dramatic shot of star under "Universal 100th Anniversary" banner on one side, exciting original poster campaign on the other. Take your pick! Dee Barton conducts. Intrada Special Collection release available while quantities and interest remain!

Tym razem okładka do King Konga nie jest zbyt ciekawa :|

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iYZwcuC0z4o - brakuje tylko wokalu z oryginału i byłby megakult :D
Gdyby nie piraci, byłbym jak Zbigniew Hołdys - Eric Clapton.

KING KONG LIVES - Amerykańskie portale dają temu b.wysokie noty (Clemmensen nawet *****), być może też dlatego, że John Scott to w USA twórca nieco kultowy, bo niszowy. Nie jest to poziom Konga barry'owskiego na pewno. Scott na pewno świetnie rozumie język orkiestry i dużej symfoniki, jego tematy są dość łatwe i jak na takie campowe kino nawet wskazane, jednakże za bardzo jego muzyka tutaj przypomninała mi muzykę klasyczną, muzykę koncertową niż filmową. Była zbyt ekspresyjna. Być może przez to nawet była dużo bardziej "w duchu" golden-ageowej, gwałtownej partytury Steinera. Niemniej muzyka na poziomie, z kilkoma przebłyskami wysokiej klasy i porządnymi tematami, ale nie do końca trafiła do mnie jej forma.
