thx99 1,740 Posted January 23, 2018 Share Posted January 23, 2018 Knockout Alan Silvestri soundtrack gets royal treatment! Smash-hit Touchstone Pictures & Steven Spielberg presentation finds Robert Zemeckis blending live action, animation in masterful ground-breaking fashion. 1988 film stars Bob Hoskins, Christopher Lloyd, Stubby Kaye, Charles Fleischer, Joanna Cassidy… plus animated Roger Rabbit, Jessica Rabbit and plenty of “Toons”. Reunion of Spielberg, Zebecks & Silvestri after 1982 blockbuster Back To The Future spawns Los Angeles 40’s-era whodunit with boozed gumshoe Eddie Valiant sucked into solving murder of Toontown’s owner, with Roger, Jessica, Eddie’s deceased brother and evil Judge Doom all participants in solid mystery. Along the way are cameos from Disney’s Dumbo, Fleischer’s Betty Boop, Donald & Daffy Duck, Yosemite Sam, many others. Classic scenes abound! Animated “dueling pianos” sequence with pair of ducks is a visual/aural highlight. Accompanying music by Liszt, arranged by Silvestri and featuring two ducks wacky dialog was included on original 1988 Disney album of soundtrack highlights. Intrada 3-CD release presents both premiere of complete cue sans dialog on CD 1, original album version on CD 3. Mammoth Silvestri score itself runs nearly 100 minutes across discs 1 & 2, with numerous alternates following on CD 2. Film is scored wall-to-wall with literal smash-up of original score, music bits, songs, Interestingly, majority of original Silvestri cues are heavily truncated in film. Intrada release premieres them in their full-length versions as originally recorded by composer. Eddie Valiant theme in smoky ’noir style’ for solo trumpet plays in balance to sinister Judge Doom theme for low strings with chimes. In between are frantic, dazzling action sequences in signature Silvestri manner for full orchestra, sometimes featuring additional jazz combo of top U.S. players generating further excitement within resources of full London Symphony Orchestra. Danger and excitement become keynote, especially in rousing last half hour! Sexy, sultry vocal number by Jessica Rabbit (“Why Don’t You Do Right?”) another smoky highlight! Alternates include cues written for but dropped from film entirely. But there’s much more! Also appearing are four complete “Cartoon Short” scores featuring Roger Rabbit that appeared in front of subsequent Disney films: Premiere of complete Silvestri score for Who Framed Roger Rabbit’s opening “Maroon Cartoon” with Roger babysitting Baby Herman plus dizzying Bruce Broughton scores for Rollercoaster Rabbit (1990) and Trail Mix-Up(1993) with James Horner score for Tummy Trouble (1989) bringing CD 2 to a close. CD 3 presents original 1988 Disney soundtrack album, preserving Silvestri’s own 46-minute presentation balancing score highlights with songs. Entire release newly mastered from Disney vault elements and presented courtesy of Disney Enterprises and Amblin Entertainment. Digital editing & assembly by Douglass Fake, mastered by Patricia Sullivan at Bernie Grundman Mastering. Informative notes by Tim Greiving, colorful booklet design by Kay Marshall. Special thanks to Roger Feigelson for helping bring vast array of licensing challenges across the finish line! Bruce Broughton cartoons: Armin Steiner records & mixes with Broughton conducting. James Horner cartoon: Shawn Murphy records & mixes with Horner conducting. Who Framed Roger Rabbit cartoon and score: Dennis Sands records & mixes, James Campbell orchestrates, London Symphony Orchestra performs, Alan Sylvestri composes, conducts.

filmmusic 1,843 Posted January 23, 2018 Share Posted January 23, 2018 This is a great score (I love the melancholic saxophone theme) and one great movie!! By the way, Silvestri wrote the song also (Why don't you do right?) or is this an old song? edit: never mind! I googled it! It's an old song. publicist 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TownerFan 4,983 Posted January 23, 2018 Share Posted January 23, 2018 Looks like a wonderful presentation. I personally love it a lot, the movie is also a huge favourite of mine. I think this could probably be Silvestri's best score ever. I love how he puts the jazz trio in front of the symphony and makes a dialogue between the combo and the orchestra. And it also has some hair-raising action pieces (the cue when Eddie goes into the tunnel might be Silvestri's most heart-pounding piece ever).

Naïve Old Fart 9,554 Posted January 23, 2018 Share Posted January 23, 2018 What? More heart-pounding than "it's on it way down to you!", or the sub chase, or Ellie running up the stairs, at VLA? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gruesome Son of a Bitch 6,488 Posted January 23, 2018 Share Posted January 23, 2018 The cartoon music looks to be the best stuff here. Horner in his prime of scoring animation.

scallenger 483 Posted January 23, 2018 Share Posted January 23, 2018 I am definitely thinking of getting this! Not just for Silvestri's score, but here to echo Horner's release of "Tummy Trouble". I am a huge fan of Horner's "Honey, I Shrunk The Kids" and this track is clearly a big extension of that (which is also kind of a riff on a piece of music that Horner "stole" from, of course). Speaking of, I still hope they do a fuller release of that score one day (despite bootlegs being available of the missing tracks in fine quality).

Kasey Kockroach 2,344 Posted January 31, 2018 Share Posted January 31, 2018 Horner and Broughton's music for the three shorts have been utter bliss to finally hear on their own (I already had Broughton's music from a promo disc but still, Intrada's release sound marvelous). Tummy Trouble especially is a beautiful anti-depressant. The film score? S'alright. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pieter Boelen 740 Posted June 15, 2018 Share Posted June 15, 2018 Does anyone have any clue how the complete score compares to the original album? I think I figured out most of it, but I cannot figure out "The Gag Factory". (EDIT: "The Gag Factory" is the second half of "Steamroller") And "The Weasels" seems quite different between both versions, which makes it quite confusing...

mstrox 6,651 Posted April 22, 2020 Share Posted April 22, 2020 In the US, restrictions are on a state by state basis, so it's also possible that a US plant would be running in a state more lax than yours and mine. Don't know how up to date this is, but it looks like there are (or were, at one time) CD presses scattered in different states. http://www.studio-nibble.com/cd/index.php?title=List_of_CD_pressing_plants Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jay 37,374 Posted May 4, 2020 Share Posted May 4, 2020 Looks like you'll be able to order this again tonight when The River goes live Quote 5/2/2020 Staying safe continues to be the common greeting/parting these days. Let it continue to be. This coming Tuesday brings sheltered (and unsheltered) listeners another new Intrada release, and a great one it is. Alongside it are a pair of long out-of-stock titles. New is the expanded (by 20 minutes) CD of John Williams’ evocative slice of Americana, 1984’s The River, starring Mel Gibson and Sissy Spacek. Mark Rydell directed, reuniting with Williams after The Reivers, The Cowboys and Cinderella Liberty. Returning to our shelves and perhaps landing on yours as well are two of Intrada’s best-selling expanded editions: Who Framed Roger Rabbit and Chinatown, both top drawer scores by respectively Alan Silvestri and Jerry Goldsmith. Visit us here on Tuesday the 5th and order one, two or maybe even all three of the releases. You’ll be happy you did. Yep… and stay safe. http://www.intrada.net/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=8451 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did I make a mistake? Can't comment on Alive, but I suppose it depends on your tastes, this release is a fantastic expansion, if you like Silverstri this is him at his peak! The blend of 30's/40's noir and animation genre music of the era is seamless, so much weight and emotion is given to Valient for not only his character but to the mystery he's investigating, there's still the lightheartedness/cartoon feel given to Rodger and the other toon's throughout that balance it against those dark noir themes.
