Soundtrack available!


Just picked up a CD from The MovieMusic Co via Amazon. Some of the tracks have some post-production sound effects in them, but they hardly distract. Actually interesting and impressive to hear a little Foley work, etc; the craftsmanship is inspiring. Anyway, glorious Goldsmith!

Screen Archives has it. Here's their blurb...

Jerry Goldsmith's score to The Satan Bug was an important stepping stone, featuring snaking, snarling atonality and avant garde suspense as a kind of bridge from his television work (such as on The Man From U.N.C.L.E.) to feature classics like Planet of the Apes. Goldsmith wrote for an orchestra devoid of high strings—only cellis and bass—with a battery of brass, percussion, woodwinds and two early synthesizers, the Hammond Solovox and Novachord. Utilizing 12-tone serial techniques, Goldsmith concocted an eerie, malevolent sound world of astringent action and seething creepiness.
