SCORED TO DEATH RADIO: PROFONDO GOBLIN: A HISTORY, PART 1 – THE SOUNDTRACKS 1975-1977
http://www.cinematicsound.net/scored-to-death-radio-profondo-goblin-a-history-part-1-the-soundtracks-1975-1977/

 

In 1975, one of Italy’s biggest and most innovative filmmakers asked a group of unknown young musicians to record the score for his latest film and forever altered the course of film music. The filmmaker was Dario Argento, the film was DEEP RED [a.k.a. PROFONDO ROSSO], and the musicians were a progressive rock band named Goblin.

 

Now, SCORED TO DEATH RADIO host & author J. Blake Fichera takes listeners on a detailed sonic journey through the music and history of one of Italy’s and film music’s most influential bands, with an epic multi-part podcast series about Goblin. This debut episode explores the band’s humble beginnings—how they formed, how they got their name, how they came to work on film scores, etc.—and dives deep into their film and television soundtracks from 1975 through 1977—including DEEP RED and SUSPIRIA.

 

So, pull up a seat, and get comfy with a glass of J&B because SCORED TO DEATH RADIO is setting sail on a fantastic voyage into 1970s Italy with the band Goblin.

THE FLAGSHIP SHOW: NATIONAL FILM SCORE DAY 2022 – RANDOM TRACKS
http://www.cinematicsound.net/the-flag-ship-show-national-film-score-day-2022-random-tracks/

 

Happy National Film Score Day!

 

National Film Score Day was created on April 3rd, 2018 by Jeffrey D. Kern of the defunct internet film music radio station MOVIE SCORES AND MORE RADIO, and is officially recognized by the National Day Calendar. National Film Score Day “was created to celebrate film scores and the talented composers that compose those musical masterworks called film scores!” Jeffery was interviewed last week about the holiday on the Celebration Voices Podcast.

 

We’ve only officially celebrated National Film Score Day here at CINEMATIC SOUND RADIO once, but I would like for it to be something we celebrate every April 3rd.

 

We commemorated National Film Score Day with 12 tracks chosen at random on today’s special broadcast. I didn’t know what I wanted to do to celebrate the occasion, so I decided to do my best to incorporate the number 4 into the festivities, as today is the 4th anniversary of the event! I went into my digital library and made a smart playlist to collect all of the 4-minute cues in my collection. Everything was reduced to 760 as a result of this. I didn’t want to waste an entire day trying to choose 12 tracks from that list, so I went to random.org and had them choose the cues for me. Each track was assigned a number and the playlist was arranged alphabetically by title. After that, I began recording and did the random draw “live” therefore I had no idea what I was going to play.

 

This was a lot of fun and I hope to do something like this again in the near future. See the entire playlist on our webpage.

 

Thanks again to Jeffrey D. Kern for creating this day in celebration of the art form we all love!

Jason is talking a bit of a break.  He does have an ARCHIVE episode coming out soon but he's taking some time off podcasting during the summer to concentrate on himself.  Everything is good, but he just needs some time off.

THE ESSENTIAL SOUNDTRACKS - THE LAST STARFIGHTER

http://www.cinematicsound.net/the-essential-soundtracks-the-last-starfighter/

 

SOUNDTRACK ALLEY has become THE ESSENTIAL SOUNDTRACKS!

 

Two years ago this month, host and producer Randy Andrews brought his film music podcast SOUNDTRACK ALLEY to the CINEMATIC SOUND RADIO PODCAST. We’ve enjoyed the partnership immensely and his show has brought a new dimension to the podcast in the form of long-formed reviews and analyses of soundtracks. However, we felt the need to separate our version of the show from the version that he still produces on his own under the SOUNDTRACK ALLEY moniker. Therefore, all SOUNDTRACK ALLEY episodes produced expressly for CINEMATIC SOUND RADIO will now be known as THE ESSENTIAL SOUNDTRACKS.

The format of the show won’t change. It will always remain a deep dive review into some of the best soundtracks of all time… scores that everyone should have in their collections… THE ESSENTIAL SOUNDTRACKS.

 

On this premiere episode of the newly rebranded THE ESSENTIAL SOUNDTRACKS, host Randy Andrews and Erik Woods talk about the film and score to the 1984 Nick Castle-directed sci-fi/fantasy/adventure film, THE LAST STARFIGHTER, starring Lance Guest, Robert Preston, Dan O’Herlihy, Catherine Mary Stewart, Norman Snow, and Kay E. Kuter. The film tells the story of Alex Rogan, a teenager recruited by an alien defence force to fight in an interstellar war.

 

Randy and Erik also detail the numerous themes in the score, the recording of the soundtrack, the composition and form of the action material, and the heart behind the music, especially the finale cue “Into The Starscape”

 

The original score for the film was composed by Craig Safan and was recorded by Lyle Burbridge in Los Angeles. The original soundtrack recording was originally released on Southern Cross Records both on CD and LP in 1987. Intrada Records expanded the album both in 1995 and 2015. Earlier this year, Intrada released the definitive release of the score featuring the same program as the 2015 version but with greatly improved sound quality. You can buy that version of the album by going to https://store.intrada.com/s.nl/it.A/id.12634/.f

 

Thanks to Jason Drury and Tim Burden for their assistance. And a big thanks to Intrada’s own Roger Feigelson for providing the updated album to play on this show for you.

THE ESSENTIAL SOUNDTRACKS – STAR TREK: GENERATIONS

http://www.cinematicsound.net/the-essential-soundtracks-star-trek-generations/

Today on THE ESSENTIAL SOUNDTRACKS, Erik Woods, Robert Daniels, and Randy Andrews continue their journey through the STAR TREK films and their soundtracks as they discuss the seventh movie in the series, STAR TREK: GENERATIONS. You’ll hear them discuss the film in great detail including such topics as the new uniforms, deleted scenes, Kirk’s death, the destruction of The Enterprise D and more. Also covered in great length is Dennis McCarthy’s underappreciated score.

 

WARNING: We do talk about Star Trek: Picard Season 3 in this episode so if you haven’t seen the new series yet, you’ve been warned;  there are SPOILERS in this episode.

 

STAR TREK: GENERATIONS was released on November 18, 1994. Malcolm McDowell joined cast members from the 1960s television show STAR TREK and the 1987 sequel series STAR TREK: THE NEXT GENERATION. In the film, Captain Jean-Luc Picard (Patrick Stewart) of the USS Enterprise-D joins forces with Captain James T. Kirk (William Shatner) to stop the villain Tolian Soran (Malcolm McDowell) from destroying a planetary system in his attempt to return to an extra-dimensional realm known as the Nexus. The film was directed by TV veteran David Carson.

 

The original soundtrack album was released at the time of the film’s release on GNP Crescendo Records. It had a generous amount of music on the album, close to 45 minutes worth with 16 minutes of Star Trek sound effects from the film. In November of 2012, GNP Crescendo released an expanded version of the score featuring two full CDs of music expanding the run time to OVER two hours. The score was recorded by Robert Fernandez at Paramount Pictures Scoring Stage M, and McCarthy conducted the Hollywood Studio Orchestra. Mark McKenzie, William Ross, and Brad Warnaar provided orchestrations. The Executive Album Reissue Producer was Dennis McCarthy. The Executive Album Producers for GNP/Crescendo Records were Neil Norman and Melanie Clarkson. The Album Reissue Producers were Ford A. Thaxton, James Nelson and Mark Banning. The Project Consultant was Lukas Kendall, with liner notes by liner notes by Jeff Bond and Lukas Kendall.

BUTE ISLAND RADIO PREMIERE EPISODE - SPY FILMS
http://www.cinematicsound.net/bute-island-radio-preimere-episode-spy-films/

 

Before I left Bute Island Radio, I produced two complete episodes with one other episode left in the planning stages. One episode made it to air, the others did not. This was the episode that made it to air. This was the premiere episode of CINEMATIC SOUND RADIO for Bute Island Radio.

 

If you are unaware of what transpired with Bute Island Radio, I suggest you read my announcement post here > http://www.cinematicsound.net/bute-island-radio-announcement/

 

And then read my resignation post here > http://www.cinematicsound.net/it-ended-before-it-really-got-started/

 

For my first episode on Bute Island Radio, I thought I’d take advantage of the popularity of MISSION IMPOSSIBLE and the recent release of MISSION: IMPOSSIBLE – DEAD RECKONING PART ONE. On the program I played selections from MISSION: IMPOSSIBLE (Elfman), MISSION: IMPOSSIBLE – DEAD RECKONING PART ONE (Balfe), MUNICH (Williams), NOTORIOUS (Webb), THE IPCRESS FILE (Barry), THE TAILOR OF PANAMA (Davey) and THE RUSSIA HOUSE (Goldsmith).

 

This was the most fun I’ve had producing a program since my John Williams tribute a few years ago! I hope you enjoy the commentary and the selections.

 

Enjoy!

Server problems have been resolved, and the backlog of episodes is finally being uploaded, beginning with Jason Drury's chat with Panu Aaltio. A big thanks to my good friend Sean Speiran for getting things resolved.

INTERVIEW WITH PANU AALTIO
 

Today’s guest on TALKING SOUNDTRACKS has composed music for more than thirty feature films, several TV shows, video games, and a lengthy ballet performed by the Finnish National Opera. His name is Panu Aaltio.

Panu is most recognized for his poignant work on major nature documentaries, but his lyrical orchestral sound has also adorned dramatic scores, including SUPER FURBALL SAVES THE FUTURE and the exciting Baltic Sea adventure FINDERS OF THE LOST YACHT.

 

Another of his recent projects is 5000 Blankets, released in the US at the end of 2022, which follows the story of a woman and her young son, who set out to find her husband when he goes missing after having a mental breakdown, which sparks a movement in their city.

 

Jason Drury had the pleasure of speaking with Panu via cleanfeed in Helsinki, Finland, at the end of January 2023. They discussed his work for television and film, his award-winning music for nature documentaries, his aspirations for the future, and of course, his amazing score for 5000 BLANKETS.
