  1. This was a monumental undertaking. The fact that we were able to find 3 hours out of our extremely busy lives to put this one was nothing short of miraculous. I just want to first thank Tim Burden for being our moderator. Tim is a good friend and I'm so glad that he took 3 hours out of his busy schedule to do this for us. And a big thanks to Christopher Coleman for hosting the stream. Thanks to everyone who watched and participated. Over the past two weeks, I've been a part of two 25th anniversary video streams and they rank amongst some of the great memories in my 25 years of doing what I do. We all had such a great time that we plan on doing more of these in the near future. We didn't even scratch the surface on some of the topics we wanted to address. -Erik-
  2. Your name was mentioned. Drop by during the show. We’d love to talk to you!
  3. 25 years ago, when the internet was in its infancy, a handful of film music review websites were established, pioneering online film music criticism with a new generation of writers and broadcasters who were taking advantage of this new medium for the first time. Now, a quarter of a century later, the International Film Music Critics Association is delighted to announce a special event celebrating the dedication and longevity of five of these critics, with an anniversary round table looking back at the history of online film music criticism. Moderated by IFMCA member Tim Burden, the event will feature a live and interactive conversation between five of these forerunners: Jonathan Broxton of Movie Music UK, Christian Clemmensen of Filmtracks, Christopher Coleman of Tracksounds, James Southall of Movie Wave, and Erik Woods of Cinematic Sound Radio. Join us on Sunday, October 3rd 2021 at 1:00pm EST (10:00am PST, 6:00pm BST) via the live stream on the IFMCA Youtube Channel at https://www.youtube.com/c/InternationalFilmMusicCriticsAssociation, where you can watch the celebration, post questions to the panel, and more!

  7. BRAND NEW EPISODE OF THE CINEMATIC SOUND RADIO PODCAST VARESE SARABANDE CD CLUB - PART TWO http://www.cinematicsound.net/the-flag-ship-show-varese-sarabande-cd-club-part-1-2/ In today’s episode of THE FLAGSHIP SHOW on the CINEMATIC SOUND RADIO PODCAST, Jason Drury joins Erik Woods to present part two of their look at Varese Sarabande Records’ latest three batches of CD club releases. Varese Sarabande CD Club began in the late ’80s which was a mail-order CD club of great film scores not otherwise available on compact disc. It wasn’t until 1989 did we get to see the first release. In the first batch of releases, which came out between 1989 and 1992, we got to finally hear on CD for the first time such scores as CHERRY 2000, FEDORA, VIBES, RED SONJA, RAGGEDY MAN, STAR N BARS, THE BURBS, WE’RE NO ANGELS, JAGGED EDGE and others for the first time on CD. In part two, you’ll hear selections from DANTE’S PEAK by John Frizzell with themes by James Newton Howard, PAYCHECK by John Powell and LIONHEART by Jerry Goldsmith. You’ll also hear a surprise suite at the end of the program from one of the earliest releases in the Varese Sarabande CD Club back in the late 80s. In addition, during the LIONHEART segment, I recommended that you all listen to the LIONHEART episode of THE GOLDSMITH ODYSSEY. It’s one of their very best episodes where they do a deep dive into all of the missing music and the numerous themes Goldsmith composed for the film. Check it out by going to https://goldsmithodyssey.buzzsprout.com/159614/8621034-odyssey-soundtrack-spotlight-lionheart-1987 Enjoy! ----- LISTEN: http://www.cinematicsound.net/links-page/ PATREON: https://bit.ly/2QWDGeO MERCH STORE https://www.teepublic.com/stores/cinematic-sound-radio
  8. That's more Ron Goodwin than Star Trek. But I agree that it's one of his strongest theme from one of the best scores he has ever written. -Erik-
  9. Absolutely. We are planning to dive into the back catalogue at some point. Any scores that you want to hear specifically? You guys are killing it, Yavar. I'm just an old radio guy but you guys are truly using the podcast platform the way it was meant to be used. I'm always looking for advice from old and new and there was no way I was going to assemble that LOVE FIELD suite without you, Yavar. You've been a great supporter of my show and I will do my best to support your program anyway I can. I did get "Lost Luggage" in there... not the complete cue but the portion I chose, which was a big chunk, segued nicely out of "The Photos"
  10. He helped me craft the LOVE FIELD suite. We had a nice chat about the score and what tracks I should feature that WEREN'T on the original release. -Erik-

  12. BRAND NEW EPISODE OF THE CINEMATIC SOUND RADIO PODCAST ALL REQUEST SHOW #1 http://www.cinematicsound.net/the-flag-ship-show-all-request-show-1/ Erik Woods presents the first ALL REQUEST SHOW since 2004 on today’s new episode of THE FLAGSHIP SHOW on the CINEMATIC SOUND RADIO PODCAST. Since launching the CINEMATIC SOUND RADIO PODCAST Patreon a few months ago, we’ve offered our patrons exclusive perks based on the tier they signed up for. One of those perks is participating in all request programs. All Request Shows were a norm for CINEMATIC SOUND RADIO back on the FM dial between 1996 and 2006. They were some of my favourite shows. It gave my listeners a chance to participate in the programming of the show and was always a special program to produce. It’s been 17 years since the last all-request show so as a perk for some of our patrons we are now bringing back the all-request show on a bi-monthly basis. If you want to participate in future all-request shows, please head over to our Patreon page, and join the community in any tier that is $5 USD/month or above. Once you do so you will be able to participate in all upcoming all request programs. For this premiere all-request program, our participants included Max Hamulyak, Dave Williams, Victor Field, Don Mase, Alphonse Brown, Douglas Lacey, Williams Welch, Alan Rogers, Tim Burden and Joe Wiles. They requested tracks from such composers as Rachel Portman, John Powell, Ron Grainer, James Horner, John Barry, John Paesano, Hans Zimmer, David Newman, Jane Antonia Cornish and Bear McCreary. Let me tell you, the playlist is fantastic! Sure, some selections come from big blockbusters but there are other selections that come from more obscure fare. And one cue was from a score I had never heard before. With that being said, I hope you all enjoy the program. This was easily one of the most enjoyable shows I’ve produced in years. Again, for those that didn’t get a chance to participate and want to be a part of October’s all-request program, we’d love to have you join the CINEMATIC SOUND RADIO PODCAST Patreon family. But don’t feel like you have to join. I’m not forcing anyone to join. Remember this podcast will always be free to listen to but if you want to support the program and join the community we’ve formed on Patreon then we’d love to have you. Enjoy the show! ----- LISTEN: http://www.cinematicsound.net/links-page/ PATREON: https://bit.ly/2QWDGeO MERCH STORE https://www.teepublic.com/stores/cinematic-sound-radio

  16. FIRST OF ALL... Please VOTE for CINEMATIC SOUND RADIO in the 2021 Podcast Awards. This isn't the same as the QUITE THE THING MEDIA Awards I was promoted last month. That vote is over! It only takes 5 minutes to register and vote for The Podcast Awards. The only way we get a nomination is if enough of you support the show by voting for us. We are eligible in two categories. MUSIC and PEOPLE'S CHOICE. https://www.podcastawards.com/app/signup Thanks in advance! NEW EPISODE OF CINEMATIC SOUND RADIO SOUNDTRACK ALLEY: LEGEND - PART ONE http://www.cinematicsound.net/soundtrack-alley-legend-part-one/ The ninth episode of SOUNDTRACK ALLEY here on CINEMATIC SOUND RADIO features a bit of a different format than other SOUNDTRACK ALLEY episodes. Regular host, Randy Andrews, decided to skip this episode and left it up to Erik Woods to host and moderate a roundtable discussion about the film, LEGEND. Joining Erik is the host of THE ARCHIVE, Jason Drury, host of OBSCURE SCORES, Robert Daniels and CINEMATIC SOUND RADIO’s in-house composer and host of COMPOSER CONVERSATIONS, David Coscina. The original score for the film was composed and conducted by Jerry Goldsmith, performed by The National Philharmonic Orchestra and recorded by the legendary Mike Ross-Trevor. However, due to the massive changes made from the European version to the American version of the film, it was decided to remove Goldsmith’s score and have the German electronic group, Tangerine Dream, write and perform a new score. In part one of our look at the production of LEGEND and the use of music in both versions, Erik, Jason, Robert and David talk about various topics including when they first saw the film, which version of the film they like, the film’s production design, the gorgeous cinematography, Ridley Scott’s history as a director, a comparison of Jerry Goldsmith’s and Tangerine Dream’s scores and a detailed comparison of “The Unicorn” sequence, which Goldsmith and Tangerine Dream both scored. In addition, David Coscina’s participation in this discussion offers a unique perceptive to the program as he brings his expertise as a composer to the table and provides detailed musical analysis of both scores and performs specific sections of each score on his piano to help paint a clear picture as to what the Jerry Goldsmith and Tangerine Dream were bringing to the film. Part two of the program, where we compare more cues from each score, will be made available shortly. ----- LISTEN: http://www.cinematicsound.net/links-page/ PATREON: https://bit.ly/2QWDGeO MERCH STORE https://www.teepublic.com/stores/cinematic-sound-radio
