Who would like to see a release of MANNEQUIN? I've heard Sylvester Levay's work (of course AIRWOLF, THREE O'CLOCK HIGH, WEREWOLF and others), and I love all of it, but this title has captured my attention in a very unique way. It was the 80s, so, it was synth city, and great. There's one beautiful piano love theme (when Jonathan is in the rain, looking at Emmy in the window, and when they're in the hammock), and a few upbeat themes, as well. It's a relatively short score, though, about 22-25 minutes, so, I think 2 things:
Either the 4 songs could be added to the score (which I know Intrada typically doesn't do):
In My Wildest Dreams by Belinda Carlisle
Do You Dream About Me by Alisha
My Girl by The Temptations
and of course Nothin's Gonna Stop Us Now by Starship
Or the score could be joined with another one, as a piggyback. I also realize that coupling scores together works when the genres are the same or similar. This being a rom-com, I'm not sure which one would work, so, I'm hoping. I just think with all of the scores that have been released (especially the short ones), and with the limited edition model (whether Intrada's new model or the other companies), surely something could work. 1000 copies or 1500? Hopefully, there's not too many licensing hoops to jump through either.
If anyone's concerned about the music being entertaining, they should not be. It's "syrupy," but very enjoyable.
Anyone with me on this? Anyone?
