Intrada Soundtrack Forum

5/16/2021

This week we bring another one of our earlier soundtrack releases into the digital marketplace. Harry Manfredini created what I sincerely consider his finest score with DeepStar Six. Scored in 1989 and first issued on CD by Intrada when the underwater horror thriller was first released, Manfredini described the score to me back in the day as channeling his inner Jerry Goldsmith. He was being modest as it is certainly much more a Manfredini work than a Goldsmith work. But it is his most powerful symphonic work and does have an abundance of rhythmic devices common to both composers. Still, Manfredini’s signature Friday The 13th vernacular shines through… happily with a bigger orchestra to showcase what he can do as an action composer. If you are new to this one, definitely enjoy picking it up on either the newly-packaged CD or in the digital format.
