Delorean90 42 Posted May 21, 2009 Share Posted May 21, 2009 Prometheus will finally announce the last two discs, available for order on June 1st at SAE.They should be a score by single disc score by John Barry and a 2 disc set of a score, considered by film historians to be one of the greatest composed.

Ollie 1,059 Posted May 21, 2009 Share Posted May 21, 2009 I have a feeling that the 2 disc will be a score from Bernard Herrmann. I believe Jerry Goldsmith, Alex North and Elmer Bernstein were ruled out by Ford himself.I'm gonna guess the John Barry disc will either be The Deep, Midnight Cowboy or an expanded re-mastered version of The Lion In Winter. Or maybe they found the actual tracks to Raise The Titanic. The Herrmann will either be Obsession or The 7th Voyage Of Sinbad with one disc being the actual film score and disc 2 the original album.

Ollie 1,059 Posted June 1, 2009 Share Posted June 1, 2009 Well I was right about one of them:Complete 7th Voyage Of Sinbad.http://www.screenarchives.com/title_detail.cfm?ID=12466The other one is a John Barry score I'm unfamiliar with:Mike's Murderhttp://www.screenarchives.com/title_detail.cfm?ID=12465The original track to Sinbad have been a holy grail of mine for 30 years. The original album only features about 35 minutes. The Varese re-recording (Debney conducting) is ok but there are some tempo issues. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wojo 2,453 Posted June 1, 2009 Share Posted June 1, 2009 I don't doubt that the film historians love the score. It's 51 years old, which has given them plenty of time to push it to grail status. But I've only seen one of these Harryhausen Sinbad movies, and I don't remember the music. Unless they provide some audio samples to whet my appetite, I'll have to pass.

Trent B 337 Posted June 1, 2009 Share Posted June 1, 2009 So the 7th Voyage of Sinbad and Mike's Murder are the two new Prometheus releases that FAT had hyped about being the "best of all time" and it took so long to release? How disappointing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ollie 1,059 Posted June 1, 2009 Share Posted June 1, 2009 Ford never said the John Barry score was considered the greatest of all time. He said it was one that had never seen any type of release.The 7th Voyage Of Sinbad is considered by film music historians to be one of the greatest scores composed, and that is what Ford said. And he would be correct, also the complete score to Sinbad has been something many film score fan have wanted. It's one of Herrmann's finest scores.Ford did not hype anything, only those that continued to add to the Prometheus thread at FSM drove expectations high, even when Ford explained why there was a delay.The only disappointment is the typical boorish attitude that prevails at every message board by those who either know too little or expect to always get what they want only.

Ollie 1,059 Posted June 1, 2009 Share Posted June 1, 2009 I wasn't sure about the Barry score but I had a strong feeling 7th Voyage would be the 2 disc release, especially when Ford ruled out Bernstein, Goldsmith and Rozsa being the composers. I mentioned it a page or so ago and I believe someone over at FSM guessed it correctly as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wojo 2,453 Posted June 1, 2009 Share Posted June 1, 2009 I listened to two clips of the Sinbad at Youtube, although it could have been the same track twice, and I liked what I heard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Diego 21 Posted June 1, 2009 Share Posted June 1, 2009 The 7th Voyage of Sinbad is tempting, I've liked it since I heard the overture on Kunzel's "Great Fantasy and Adventure Album". I do have the Debney re-recording so I think I'll have to pass for the time being since it's been an incredible hard year on the wallet and the economy is crap and the dollar is expensive, a shame really.I catched the movie on TCM last saturday, fun movie actually.
