#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 10,265 Posted October 9, 2015 Share Posted October 9, 2015 http://www.quartetrecords.com/basic-instinct-2-cd.html Crossing legs! Quartet Records and Studio Canal are proud to present the ultimate 2-CD set of Jerry Goldsmiths Academy Award® nominated noir score for Paul Verhoevens classic erotic thriller Basic Instinct (1992), starring Michael Douglas and Sharon Stone. For his second collaboration with director Paul Verhoeven (after Total Recall), Jerry Goldsmith composed one of his most famous and iconic scoresatmospheric and sensual, elegantly orchestrated, with a memorable main theme reminiscent of Bernard Herrmann. At the time of the films premiere, Varèse Sarabande issued a fabulous 45-minutes CD produced by Goldsmith himselfa masterful presentation of the scores highlights. Ten years later, Prometheus Records released an expanded version, with much of the music presented in film order, but still missing a pivotal moment and several alternate takes. Now, 23 years later, Quartet Records has finally done justice to this Goldsmith masterpiece. This new release includes all of the music recorded for the film, with correct edits, actual track titles, An Unending Story as heard in the film, and alternate takes recorded by Goldsmith for the shorter R-rated version of the film. Also included is the original album produced by the composer, featuring some slightly shorter cues and an alternate ending. All of the music was recorded in London with Goldsmith conducting The National Philharmonic Orchestra. Both film score and album version have been entirely remixed and remastered from the original digital multi-track tapes by original scoring mixer Bruce Botnick for this editionthe score has, quite simply, never sounded better! Produced by Neil S. Bulk and Bruce Botnick, the album includes in-depth liner notes from film music writer Daniel Schweiger in a lavishly designed 24-page full-color booklet.

publicist 4,643 Posted October 9, 2015 Share Posted October 9, 2015 That's the problem, i now get around 1€ for old albums on ebay and pay 25 for a new one.

DreamTheater 131 Posted October 9, 2015 Share Posted October 9, 2015 While undeniably a great score and having owned the original release, exchanging that for the Prometheus, I'm finding out that I prefer listening to the condensed album. This new one holds both, but I can just as easily program the cues on my Prometheus CD. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can pick out rather subdued action cues from MINORITY REPORT and can't tell if an upfront, Oscar-nominated score hugely-influential 90's Goldsmith is worth a shit? I mean, seriously...

Quintus 5,399 Posted October 9, 2015 Share Posted October 9, 2015 That Minority Report cue you refer to is pretty much the only music I can remember about that movie as well, because I don't care much for it as sci-fi flicks go. I'm no big score enthusiast; my entire knowledge of movie music is based almost entirely on movies I've seen and enjoyed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quintus 5,399 Posted October 9, 2015 Share Posted October 9, 2015 I saw it in my late teens and thought it was by the numbers but mildly entertaining outside of Sharon's stupendously hot body. But come on, it's a bad movie when you look at it. Is this a quality thriller score then?

publicist 4,643 Posted October 9, 2015 Share Posted October 9, 2015 It's not exactly re-watchable but i still find it hard to believe that one can miss a score that penetrating - for the lack of a better word. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

crocodile 7,983 Posted October 9, 2015 Share Posted October 9, 2015 I haven't got the Prometheus. I always regarded the original album as one of those perfectly balanced soundtracks.But,.. this might be worth getting in any case. It's a top 10 Goldsmith score, surely.Karol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
