Holko 9,498 Posted December 6, 2022 Share Posted December 6, 2022 https://store.intrada.com/s.nl/it.A/id.12114/.f Main title sample... yeesh, that performance. Nice that this recording is finally properly released I guess but if I liked the score enough to get it, I'd just stick with the rerecording like I do with Barbarian.

Popular Post blondheim 1,157 Posted December 6, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted December 6, 2022 Ordered both Destroyer and Barbarian as I said I would 11 years ago when they were both announced. I’m an advocate for scrappy ensembles so I’m gonna fucking love this. I am also of the belief that every note of Basil’s work should be released, whether we need to re-record it or deal with an inferior ensemble.

I’ll be ordering with a future batch (I have two big orders pending so think I need breathing space!) but looking forward to this too. Much though I can deal with a scrappy but dedicated performance, it is quite the shame that both of his Conan scores were performed and recorded in suboptimal conditions.

This one I think: https://m.imdb.com/title/tt0322577/fullcredits/cast/?ref_=tt_cl_sm It had all the usual suspects, John, Jerry, Mancini, etc. And it had Basil. Talking about Conan. I remember talking with a guy the next day and he said "And wow, where did they find the Conan guy? Talk about a one hit wonder. What was he doing in the same show with John Williams?" I didn't know Basil stuff as well as I do now but I at least was able to say "That's the guy that did Hunt for Red October and Robocop!" That settled him down a bit.

blondheim 1,157 Posted December 6, 2022 Share Posted December 6, 2022 I just got a message from the USPS saying my street number is missing from my address and they want 3.00 for a redelivery fee? It doubt it is this Intrada order that I just placed. Maybe my La-La Land Black Friday? Has this ever happened to anyone before. I double-checked my information and I definitely gave my address to both places. I don’t know what to do. I haven’t ordered anything else so it has to be one of these two. Thoughts? What should I do? On one hand it’s only three dollars but on the other hand, shipping is already massively expensive. It seems so difficult to order anything nowadays. It really puts me off.

He was severely under-appreciated in his time. He too often still is. Basil is the ultimate What Could Have Been? film composer. Yeah he had to put up with 80s orchestral cheapness in the same way as Jerry did but it impacted considerably more important scores in his catalogue. At least he got the LSO for Flesh + Blood and some decent studio orchestras for most of his other scores. I guess he never had the big hits of his contemporaries and ended up scoring Jerry type action movies but without having a long, more experimental career beforehand. I don’t think he flew as much under the radar as some other composers but he definitely deserved much greater exposure. Like Jerry, he never quite had a Spielberg or James Cameron or whomever to boost his profile even if his regular collaborators made fine films!

A. A. Ron 1,738 Posted January 20, 2023 Share Posted January 20, 2023 I've only heard the main title, but at least for that track, the Prague recording blows the original out of the water.

Andy 4,074 Posted January 20, 2023 Share Posted January 20, 2023 I’m not talking about it because the limited number of the Burbs rerelease got me to place my order with LLL, putting Conan on back burner. Also heard there was a minor QC problem, maybe with the art iirc, so I’m waiting for a corrected batch. But I’m super duper excited. I watched Destroyer before the first film thanks to HBO, and so I grew up more familiar with this sequel score. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
