Romão 2,274 Posted November 16, 2017 Share Posted November 16, 2017 I think there are very valid reasons for releasing it, and it should be released by all means. But I personally have no interest in it, as I too find the re-recording to be a vastly superior version of the score Ollie 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
publicist 4,643 Posted November 16, 2017 Share Posted November 16, 2017 By that logic 80% of the recent Goldsmith releases should not have happened (and Goldsmith had a point, too). #perfectly content with the new recording of CtD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jay 37,441 Posted November 16, 2017 Share Posted November 16, 2017 Everything recorded for every film deserves to be released. No one is forcing anyone to buy them or taking away their preferred re-recorded versions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
publicist 4,643 Posted November 16, 2017 Share Posted November 16, 2017 'Deserving' is certainly the wrong word, as it certainly isn't. It's simple market logic. If there's a sucker buying it, why not putting it out? A. A. Ron 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess you have to ask yourself why you feel it's necessary to raise this point every time the score is mentioned in a thread! Ford: Quote 1.) The orchestra isn't very good (Even I can hear some of the performance problems) 2.) He hated it, he said so to me directly looking me in the eye 3.) The MUSIC has been out there in a vastly better performance for sometime. 4.) I'm not saying you shouldn't put it out and won't do a great job on presenting it and you should put the best face on your product, but that's what the man thought on this one. Does that cover it?

Jay 37,441 Posted November 17, 2017 Share Posted November 17, 2017 Now Bruce Kimmel is ragging on Roger as well. What's up with these guys? Bruce: Quote My fun is watching the feeding frenzy between several of the soundtrack labels at this time of year, something I've happily NEVER joined. Apparently everyone saves up their bestest releases for Black Friday and the following week - multi-disc sets, best release EVER, the stuff dreams are made of. And so many titles that mere mortals cannot afford to purchase all of them. Roger: Quote We like to end the year on a strong note, I didn't realize that was an issue. I thought of it as a cool release, not a frenzy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Disco Stu 15,495 Posted November 17, 2017 Share Posted November 17, 2017 I don't understand what the Bruce dude's point is anyway. Is he ragging on labels for releasing products people want at a time of year when they're most likely to want to buy them? Idiots who think marketing is a bad thing in and of itself annoy me. Bad (as in predatory or unethical) marketing is bad. Good marketing is just... business. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ollie 1,061 Posted November 17, 2017 Share Posted November 17, 2017 Some of it stems from flooding the market with too many releases but personally I don’t care because I have fewer years in front of me than behind me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mstrox 6,654 Posted November 17, 2017 Share Posted November 17, 2017 Stu - the Bruce Dude is Bruce Kimmel (Kritzerland Records and formerly of Varese Sarabande). He has long been a big advocate that the film score labels are going to destroy themselves, or at least not sustain. It's a pretty common refrain of his at FSM, so this is just a rewording of that. Too many releases! Etc etc. People don't have the time or money to focus on "smaller" releases - as a result, making those records more difficult to fund/release and less likely to profit. At least I think that's the thesis. I agree to some extent - I'm certainly buying less "small" releases that are in my wheelhouse (very few have been Kritzerland, but LLL has had plenty of releases that I just couldn't get to/afford easily). Part of that has to do with childcare expenses, though. Honestly, I feel like the days of physical/CD releases are dwindling - seeing more and more releases going digital only, or more distressing to me, vinyl and digital but no CD. So I'm happy for a CD glut at the moment, and I'll be choosy for what's worth my money. But as far as business practices - and especially for labels that focus more on niche releases and don't get big Jurassic Park releases - I can see that being more toxic.

Unlucky Bastard 7,782 Posted November 18, 2017 Share Posted November 18, 2017 I see no point in vinyl because it wears out and crackles and pops a lot. Digital feels like I just own a phantom version of the music. But CD is digital on a spinning disc I put on my shelf, the best of both worlds. Why is that now unpopular?

Wojo 2,453 Posted November 18, 2017 Share Posted November 18, 2017 Because you need a lot of shelves to display the thousands of CDs some people own. It's a huge investment in space and furniture if you have a small place or move a lot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jay 37,441 Posted March 8, 2021 Share Posted March 8, 2021 Roger Feigelson posted this on Facebook: Quote Quote Any update about an intrada's conan the destroyer release ? Definitely made progress. While Basil didn't like the recording, it wasn't because the orchestra played wrong notes, but rather their performance in some places that most lay people probably wouldn't pick up on. The intonation of certain instruments in places, for example. It's the recording I grew up with so I'm excited when we can get this across the finish line. and Quote Quote Great. But what about Sword and Sorcery suite? Are they a chances it will be also included on Destroyer album? That's the plan for now.

Jay 37,441 Posted November 21, 2022 Share Posted November 21, 2022 Doug has provided some details: after an eternity of red tape and treading water - we can finally bring you Basil Poledouris’s beloved and oft-requested Conan the Destroyer soundtrack, from the actual film’s three-channel session masters, expanded for the first time ever. Yes, this is the original soundtrack with its unequaled vibrant performance and recording. Complicated licensing issues resulted in Basil’s original (and brief) 1984 MCA album program appearing on a second disc. Basil completed the score for the June 1984 release of the movie, jumped right into scoring Red Dawn and guided us into licensing our first release - that very score for Red Dawn, launching the Intrada label. We discussed his two Conan scores at length way back when and happily have not only his 1984 sequel score available but also in our catalog the entire original 1982 Conan The Barbarian score on a 3-CD set, featuring his lengthy magnum opus and a plethora of alternate cues he recorded as well. Conan may look to Crom for his eternal rest, but look to Intrada for his music! http://www.intrada.net/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=8985 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post thestat 352 Posted November 22, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted November 22, 2022 Man, Poledouris has become so underappreciated. The Dude used to be a king alongside the three Js (Jerry, John, and James) - he needs to have a massive revival.
