Intrada Soundtrack Forum

Never heard of it but even though I consider Harline in the second tier of Golden Age composers (but heck I stick Dmitri Tiomkin there too so I'm weird), I gotta say the sound clips make this sound like it could be my favorite Harline score! Sweet! This is dang good music!

So I take it we'll be seeing more of Harline...this release probably came about because Warlock (and The Enemy Below) sold so well, right? And we'll probably be seeing more Hugo Friedhofer (yay!) ...but I'm guessing no more Laurence Rosenthal for a while considering Heart Like a Wheel and Echo of Thunder are still hanging around? ( )

"House of Bamboo" was in my mailbox Saturday morning!

And it's superb. What stunning stereo, and what extremely fine writing by Harline.

A question for the Intrada folks: Any ID on the vocalist for the cabaret-style song?

This score is in perfect keeping with the "other" occidental scores of that year from Fox...."Soldier of Fortune" and "Love is a Many-Splendored Thing." I was amazed to learn that the "....Bamboo" love theme was worked, by Newman, into his "....Many-Splendored Thing" underscore.

And Intrada Folks: THANK YOU! THANK YOU! THANK YOU!

This stuff is spectacular.

(And I'm very grateful to you guys for listing the orchestra credits on your special collection CDs...I don't these folks from beans, but it's great to see the listing of instruments and the players' names).

I have listened to HOUSE OF BAMBOO, twice, since I received it yesterday. It is an absolutely gorgeous and satisfying listen! Thanks, Doug, Roger, Nick, and all, involved in the release of this excellent score.
