Here's to one of the greatest of all time!
As I've not previously, I'm going to listen through all 4x discs of the Mondo box set (I was gifted the records and made my own box to house them...as you do ;-)

tim28212 wrote:not nominated for anything but ohh, how I love this scoreThe US tangerine dream score was my TD introduction as a kid, and is still a favorite. I remember when the European and much superior cut was finally released here and I got to hear the goldsmith score for the first time it jumped very high in the rankings, I was already a soundtrack nut by then and it took me ages to track down a cd copy for some reason (early days, before I went to wax). To this day, I have a lot of trouble choosing which cut of the film to watch, even though I think the erupean cut is a vastly tighter a more structured film, my nostalgia for renting the VHS and those opening synthy flutes of the TD score pull at the heartstrings something fierce. I can’t think of another example of anything like it, but to have a film with not one, but two completely different yet absolutely stunning scores from opposite spectrums of the film scoring world is pure damn magic.

Long story short some stoner teens laughed a bit during an early preview and the studio thought the movie needed a shot in the arm with a more “hip” teen enagaging score , so they hired TD to rescore the flick.
Late to the Goldsmith party.
