Film Score Monthly has readied its last two titles of the year to order: one a classic Western, one a spooky horror treat.
As mentioned months ago (in a rare up-front statement by FSM honcho Lukas Kendall), FSM fully expands Jerry Goldsmith's classic score to the Tobe Hooper-directed, Steven Spielberg-produced Poltergeist (1982) to completeness. As one of the most popular scores by one of the most popular modern composers, Poltergeist has been reissued before, on Rhino Records in 1997. This double-disc reissue restores the score to full sonic quality and total completeness, and adds a bonus disc full of goodies, including the original soundtrack LP, alternate cues and a suite from the LP to another Goldsmith score, The Prize (1963), expanded from its original presentation on an FSM release in 2002. The set is limited to 10,000 copies - more than enough to go around - and can be ordered here.
The label also presents the premiere release of Leonard Rosenman's original score to A Man Called Horse (1970), a stunning drama involving the capture of an Englishman (Richard Harris) by a Sioux Indian tribe and his journey toward respecting, understanding and ultimately joining the tribe. Unlike many other Westerns, it was noted for its faithful depiction of Native American culture; the score upheld the same accuracy, using authentic Sioux chants and instrumentation inspired by the tribe's musical culture. That set, featuring both the original underscore cues as pressed on LP at the time of the film's release and a large helping of bonus cues, is set at 2,000 copies and yours to own here.
And after the jump, the track lists.
