FLIGHT OF THE DOVES (1971) Roy Budd
TOMORROW NEVER COMES (1978) Roy Budd
KRYMINALNI (2007) Maciej Zielinski

Frankly I am not overly enthusiastic about this bunch (my most recent purchases). TOMORROW gets the most playing so far.

I haven't listened to anything lately although I see three of my favorites listed by a couple of you guys... Dunwich Horror, The Heretic and Time After Time.

Baxter, Morricone and Rozsa.

"Dunwich Horror" is a strange score. One of those low budget drive-in theatre films I remember seeing as a kid when my father would pack peanut butter and bologna sandwiches and spray us all down with a can of Raid for mosquito protection while sitting outside on a blanket, staring at that huge screen out on some hayseed pike in the midwestern sticks in 1970 USA.

Dear Workingwithknives, I too have fond memories of the drive-in. One of my biggest thrills as a kid was the night my Dad took the family to see GODZILLA VERSUS THE THING at the old North Side Drive-In (long gone now). Wow! That great Toho flick sure did blow my mind. I would say it comes in at a close second to GORGO as being one of the top-two films to impress me and to fill my young mind with excitement and awe. A big part of the impact these wonderful fantasies had on me must be credited to Ifukube (GODZILLA) and Lavagnino (GORGO). Both of these scores rank as two of the greatest ever composed for the giant monster sub-genre of fantasy cinema. Ifukube's music (I'm now 52) still thrills me, and Lavagnino's lovely GORGO themes now bring tears to my eyes. Oh, as to what I am currently listening to: THE BEST OF CAM-SONGS FROM THE 60s & 70s (about a half dozen very cool songs on this fun comp) / ZOMBI 3 (surprised I like some of this) / DANCE TO THE TV THEMES WITH STEVE RACE AND HIS ORCHESTRA (an old Brit LP with some very fine arrangements of familiar titles and some good pieces that are new to me) / THE SEVEN-UPS (Ellis and Mandel) and THE VERDICT (all three of these are quite good and I was surprised that I liked THE VERDICT - a very solid well-conceived score) / SEI IELLATO AMICO HAI INCONTRATO SACRAMENTO and I DUE VOLTI DELLA PAURA (two fine scores from Micalizzi and it is especially wonderful finally having SACRAMENTO on CD - it is a delightful spaghetti western soundtrack - pure gold from beginning to end). - John Bender
