The music from it
This has always been my favorite Cronenberg film with its beyond belief metaphors. I love the music in it. Does anyone know where I can obtain a copy of it, bootleg or not is fine. Thanks, Joseph [email protected]
shareThe score is comprised of library music and original pieces by Howard Shore, another Canook who got his start with Saturday Night Live but now scores big budget releases.
The library portion is probably still available somewhere. Unfortunately, I've never found a commercial release of any part of Shore's score for this film. Varese/Sarabande released a limited-edition CD of Shore's music from several films, but sadly Rabid was not among them.

If the sub-Bernard Herrmann bombast of The Brood (I do like the score, but let's be honest here) sounds anything like the poignant beauty in Dead Ringers, then all music sounds the same.
Badges? We don't need no stinking badges!

Probably because Herrmann's style is so overused and immitable, that he now seems like a parody of himself.

[wolfrider - have you seen any movies since Pickpocket? That sure was a long time ago.]
Yes, but I don't ever update my signature.
[Oh yes, and Hitchcock fired Henry Mancini as the composer for Frenzy because the score he came up with was too much in Herrmann's style. Hitch allegedly told him "If I had wanted Bernard Herrmann I would have hired him".]
Sad too, because Mancini's score was better than Goodwin's.

Your welcome. It's a better score and Hitchcock harmed his film IMHO by rejecting it.
