Intrada Soundtrack Forum

Yes, another boring list thread. The year is not yet over, but among the label's great treasures released this year, what are the Intrada albums of 2014 that you appreciate most? What in general would you like to see more of in 2015? I am genuinely interested in seeing how diverse our opinions are, and hope others are as well.

Ten Albums I Appreciate Most
Young Sherlock Holmes
Her Alibi
Bernstein Ava Collection
See No Evil
Buck Rogers, Season 2
Falling Down
The Spy Who Came in from the Cold
Crawlspace
Necessary Roughness
Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure

What I Prefer in 2015 (I'll try to be somewhat realistic and not too specific)
More classic premieres from Universal, film and TV
60s and 70s premieres from the Disney vaults
Premieres from Warner's MGM catalog
An 80s Thomas Newman score, and/or his score for Deceived or Phenomenon if you can swing it

Young Sherlock Holmes was the best release for me from any label, the other Intradas I played a lot... Die Sister Die, Deep Rising, Gorky Park.

Next year I anticipate getting into a new composer, possibly a golden-ager, it depends what crops up. This year was all about Friedhofer, last year was Fielding, so I'm still open for more releases from them, and beyond that I'm eagerly awaiting Conan the Destroyer, and an Intrada Goldenthal would be great.

My top 5 Intrada releases this year:

1. Young Sherlock Holmes
2. Bernstein AVA Collection
3. The Spy who Came in From the Cold
4. See No Evil
5. Summer of 42' / Picasso Summer

I hope that 2015 brings lot's of unreleased scores from my favorite film score periods - mid 50's to the mid 80's. With many different composers represented. I would also like to see some quality re-recordings of some of the scores that have been lost forever or some that sound awful in their current condition. (i.e."The Vikings") and a few expanded scores as well.

A sampling of scores I would like to see in the coming year.

Village of the Damned / Children of the Damned - Ron Goodwin
Chisum / The Train Robbers - Dominic Frontiere
Willard - Alex North
Ben - Walter Scharf
The Seven Per-cent Solution - John Addison
Ghost in the Darkness (Expanded) - Jerry Goldsmith
Dracula (Expanded) - John Williams
Rooster Cogburn - Laurence Rosenthal

My List goes on and on....

2015 wish list

The Burbs, Leviathan, Walock (Jerry Goldsmith)
Jaws 2, The eigher sanction, Dracula (John Williams)
Batteries not included, Casper, Balto (James Horner)

Alaska (Reg Powell)
Almost heroes (Jeffrey C.J. Vanston)

Thir man on the mountain (William Alwyn)

In no particular order:

Young Sherlock Holmes (Simply a wonderful score, absolutely top drawer, and I did not own the previous promo release.)

Night Crossing (because I missed the earlier releases.)

Psycho II (another great score, I already own the vinyl and the previous Varese CD)

Gorky Park (a favorite Horner score of mine. Though the previous CD releases already captured the gusto, so while the Intrada ups the ante on these with some extra cues and remastering, it is not quite as "essential" as say "Psycho II".)

Elmer Bernstein: The AVA collection (yeah!)

I did also enjoy DEEP RISING, FALLING DOWN, and every other Intrada release I bought this year.

Ten 2014 Intrada Albums I Appreciate Most:

Psycho II
Night Crossing
Our Man Flint / In Like Flint LP recordings
Deep Rising
Her Alibi
Bernstein Ava Collection
Judith
See No Evil
General Electric Theater
Meteor Man

Was TinkerBell this year? That'd definitely be on my list. There are many other great releases they've done like Friedhofer's Die Sister Die, but those are the ten I was most excited about.

(A few of my) Intrada Wants for 2015:

COLUMBO! Here's how the complete Season 1 scores could fit on a single two disc set:
viewtopic.php?f=13&t=3369&p=69818&hilit=columbo#p69818

More McNeely TinkerBell scores, especially The Lost Treasure (2nd and best)! I had given up hope because according to Roger the first didn't sell all that well, except Joel McNeely apparently said Intrada was doing another one after all...maybe sales picked up like they did for LLL's Star Trek TNG Vol. 1 which was initially a slow seller but then found the Trek audience.

Many more older Disney scores...especially William Alwyn's Swiss Family Robinson, Clifton Parker's Treasure Island and Robin Hood, and maybe music from the 50s Zorro TV show? Oh, and Ron Goodwin, but I know Intrada's already got their sights on his stuff for the studio.

Late 80s/early 90s Disney TV animation scoring, in particular: Carl Johnson's Gargoyles (a veteran of Batman: TAS, he created some amazing orchestral music for this epic series). Ron Jones's DuckTales (because everything he does is great).

Disney Theme Park score releases...think of all that amazing Broughton, not even to mention all the other great film composers who've done stuff for them. And as a Goldsmith completest, I would hope that *all* the music he recorded for Soarin' Over California would be included on such an album (the 4.5 minute ride score has been released on compilations, but not his music for the orientation film and his music for waiting in line, plus any alternates he may have recorded).

Which brings me to, of course, expanded Goldsmith scores! Many of these Intrada and probably only Intrada can do: Warlock, The Ghost and the Darkness, Powder, The Last Castle, The Mummy, Mulan (though probably Disney will want to hold onto this for their new Legacy Collection series?), The Lonely Guy (the last Goldsmith score available on LP only), The Secret of NIMH, MacArthur, High Velocity (my favorite little-appreciated Goldsmith score), The Don Is Dead, The Trouble With Angels... and complete versions of these Fox scores, from which then-salvageable material had been included on the Varese Goldsmith box but which, with current technology (witness Krizterland's Rio Conchos or Intrada's Shock Treatment), might be doable in better/more complete form: The Chairman, Take Her She's Mine, S*P*Y*S (yes I love it and I'd love to have the John Scott score with it), A Tree Grows in Brooklyn, and Anna and the King (hopefully including everything Goldsmith wrote but also other composers' contributions to the series). And of course I hope people still are on the lookout for the missing Damnation Alley elements, or at the very least could re-create them for a release of that very deserving score.

I know -- I'm not asking for much, am I?

Yavar
