INTRADA Announces: NECESSARY ROUGHNESS Music Composed by BILL CONTI INTRADA Special Collection Vol. 268 When Paramount Pictures tapped Bill Conti to score Necessary Roughness (1991), Conti was fresh off Rocky V. Given the composer’s track record, the decision to bring him in was a natural one, though the score itself sports a more “contemporary” and rock ‘n roll feel than most of its counterparts in Conti’s oeuvre. The modern sound is evident right from the strains of Conti’s “Main Title,” where the composer’s trademark horns form a muscular fanfare with a generous assortment of electric guitars and percussion laid on top. Conti’s score is built upon this principal theme, weaving in and out of the film with numerous variations throughout the picture, featuring a musical tug of war of sorts between the traditional orchestra and electric guitar/percussion ensemble as the score unfolds For this premiere release of Bill Conti's score, Intrada was given access to the original stereo session masters stored in Paramount's vaults. In Necessary Roughness, the Texas State Armadillos are stil reeling from a series of scandals, most notably the improper payment of players. Seeking to resurrect the program and run it the right way, Texas State tabs Ed Gennero (Hector Elizondo), a by-the-book former coach now working as a television analyst. Texas State doesn’t have much to offer since the entire roster has been cleansed, with only one player remaining from the prior regime. Still, having the opportunity to take a Division 1 program and start over with a clean slate proves irresistible to Gennero, who brings along long-time friend Wally Rig (Robert Loggia) to whip the roster into shape. INTRADA Special Collection Vol. 268 Retail Price: $19.99 Available Now For track listing and sound samples, please visit http://store.intrada.com/s.nl/it.A/id.8548/.f |

Thanks for releasing this score. Conti never lost his touch in creating the most engaging sports scores for those with the right set of ears to fully appreciate them. I've always enjoyed the film as well, with its lineup of talented actors. |

Sometimes I think I'm the only Bill Conti fan who had never heard this score... nor seen the movie it comes from. It was a cool discovery. --Doug |

I'm a constantly growing fan of Bill Conti. Because at the beginning I had only seen the popular Conti movies like The Right Stuff, Rocky and Karate Kid. Each time a rare Conti shows up is a discovery now. And it never ceases to impress me how much music he had composed in the 70's/80's/90s and how good it was! |

Ordered Monday evening, shipped Tuesday morning, should be here Wednesday afternoon. I live right over the hills from where Intrada is, so CDs always arrive super fast for me. I've been wanting this score since I first saw the film way back in 1991, and I can't believe that I'll soon have it. ![]() |

Roger and Doug, first of all I received this cd in record time, I've listened to it twice since I received it today and it's excellent, including the sound quality. It nearly blew out my subwoofer. What great energizing music. I can't thank you guys enough. ![]() |
