I would recommend these Baxter albums for starters: If you like Baxter´s exotica, then this is exactly for you! Very lush and sunny music.īumping this to try and get more interest in this fantastic score! By the way, which Baxter are you referring to? I'd be interested to hear more music like this. Where is the CD release of this beautiful music, grrrrr? Since I saw the film some nine years ago, I have been waiting it (well knowing that it´s not gonna happen, but one can dream). I sincerely hope it gets a release in the near future. Certainly TARZAN, THE APE MAN is a beautiful, gorgeously-orchestrated score. Shame Botkin never seemed to rise to the ranks of the a-listers. which i had years ago, before i sold my giant LP collection when i moved cross country years ago. I believe Roger williams did a piano instrumental on the theme on one of his lp s. which i had years ago, before i sold my giant LP collection when i moved cross country years ago.Īs can be seen by the opening and closing credits sequences, there's no song credited on screen.
Thanks, bob- the music that was sung from that movie, probably was the love theme, somewhere in the middle of the movie, because the opening and close credit music was other music, i can't right now remember who was the singer, i had an lp of it years ago, also i believe Roger williams did a piano instrumental on the theme on one of his lp s. The main title music starts at about the one minute mark. I concur that Skyjacked is a pretty good score.
As i said, he scored over 2 dozen films and there were others i liked as well. Goin South, was not your typical western score, like The long riders It tried to be innovator and different from the norm. They kill only their masters, i thought was another good score, more laidback then Skyjacked, but also had a good theme as well. Skyjacked was a good action score and a very nice main theme which was sung back then by a few pop singers. Have you heard any of these? Any recommendations? Very nice score, i agree, however MR Botkin was active in film scoring in the 70' 80's and beyond, he scored about 2 dozen films, good scores like Bless the beast and the children,Skyjacked, They only killed their masters, Goin south etc etc. The orchestrations here really are inspired and lovely, creating a perfect 'jungle-like' ambiance a la John Scott's 'Greystoke'. This is a really, really impressive effort and I'm amazed it's never been mentioned around here, that I could find. Here's a link to the last few minutes of the film, including the awesome and extended end title suite (try to ignore the fact that it plays out over footage of a topless Bo Derek wrestling w/ a primate). Crying shame, because if this score is any indication he has a wonderful and very unique symphonic voice. One thing I had absolutely not been prepared for at all was Perry Botkin's wonderful, brilliantly-orchestrated and romantic score! I'd never even ehard of the composer, and doing a little research it appears he is best-known for his electronic, non-filmmusic compositions. Had heard terrible things about it for years, and indeed it was bad - in a fun way though mostly.
