When I first saw this title announced, I thought, "oh, good, a title I have no interest in, I'll finally save some money". Especially when I saw that
the complete score was only in mono. No way could I enjoy listening to a score in mono. Plus, I've never even seen
the movie. But then as I read through
the various posts discussing
the score, I became interested, so I started listening to
the sample clips. I liked
the clips so much that I ordered it. Now that I have
the CD, when I listen to it, I completely forget that what I'm listening to is in mono, all I hear is beautiful MUSIC! I'm so glad I discovered this score.
The Black Hole was always my favorite John Barry score, but now this one is. Thanks, Intrada, for releasing this score.
However, I do feel
the need to make
the comment, "What were they thinking?" regarding
the Theme (with or without Donna Summer). To me, it feels completely out of place with
the sonic character of
the rest of
the score. Especially when you're listening to Final Dive / Final Eel Attack; End Credits. When
the End Credits start, it's like, "this sure sounds silly in comparison." Just my own personal observation, anyway.
