pixie_twinkle 48 Posted May 10, 2005 Share Posted May 10, 2005 Also ordered! I've been a Williams fan for 25 years and I've never even HEARD of this. It isn't mentioned on any lists that I've seen (here or on IMDB). Looking forward to hearing the music. Just goes to show that even something as obscure as this pilot they kept the score track safely tucked away in a locked filing cabinet stuck in a disused lavetory with a sign on the door saying "Beware of the leopard".

Thor 7,384 Posted May 10, 2005 Share Posted May 10, 2005 This is AMAZING news! I've owned the GHOSTBREAKER theme on a shoddy-sounding bootleg for quite some time, but this is the first time we'll hear the entire score in any format. THIS is what I like to see more of....COMPLETELY UNRELEASED Williams gems get their due. Despite a poor financial situation, I'll order this asap.

pixie_twinkle 48 Posted May 10, 2005 Share Posted May 10, 2005 Ok I just re-checked the lists here at JWFan and sure enough, there's Ghostbreakers. Oh well, I was blind and now I see... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pixie_twinkle 48 Posted May 18, 2005 Share Posted May 18, 2005 What a cool score! I received mine this morning (FSM are so reliable!). The opening title is so much fun. I could do without the ghastly singing on Greensleeves (all twee vibrato. Greensleeves needs to be sung by an English girl, preferably Anne Bolynn!) Track 21 "How to Outspook a Spook" is terrific. It's all very generic ghostly music, but Johnny makes it all seem so effortless. The glissandi violins and vibrophone are highly effective, as is the female vocal. I haven't listened to Jericho yet, I'm too busy enjoying Johnny's 26 minutes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fommes 153 Posted September 29, 2006 Author Share Posted September 29, 2006 I've recently acquired this CD from FSM (I'm always a bit behind on the Williams FSM CDs but I'll get them all eventually ), and I must say that I'm pleasantly surprised. Although expectations were fairly high on this one. The theme is especially quite nice, the underscore is sometimes too underscore-y (well, what would you expect though for a TV pilot), but still entertaining in its Williamsesque way. The coupling with Jericho (Goldsmith, Schifrin, Stevens et al.) is also a great choice, makes for a CD worth getting! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ollie 1,053 Posted September 29, 2006 Share Posted September 29, 2006 For a moment I thought there was another release of the score, then I looked at the date.Wonder whatever happened to The Prick vs The DD???? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnnyD 1,220 Posted August 5, 2013 Share Posted August 5, 2013 On the soundtrack to The Ghostbreaker, what is the name of the female soprano singing on the tracks, "Greensleeves," and "Act IV: To Outspook a Spook"? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Incanus 5,713 Posted August 5, 2013 Share Posted August 5, 2013 Unfortunately her name is not mentioned in the liner notes so I guess there is no easy way to find that out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
