A thoughtful and entertaining discussion about physical media in 2025 from CheapAudioMan. Long live the CD! Long live the LP! #physicalmedia youtu.be/_kOxBYYDSyk

Hey so tonight it’s my 300th episode on the ol’ wireless hosting Screen Sounds for ABC Classic. I’ll be counting down my top ten of my favourite film composer ever, Bernard Herrmann. As my programmer said, I don’t look a day over 295.

In celebration of Jaws’ 50th birthday, perhaps I’ll give this a spin and work out what (non-Williams score) music they changed back in 1991. Happy birthday, Bruce!

June 20, 1975 - Jaws It's 50, and not at all dated. Its music is coming back out, probably better sounding than ever. I have three videos below, comment-numbered 1, 2 & 3. If you have 15 minutes, watch those clips. They'll show you so much that's so hard to explain well at all.

“A dream of perfection.” Directed by no less than John Schlesinger (Midnight Cowboy). From 1959, this is terrific! youtu.be/Us6hQLwG1S8

Dave Hurwitz has a very nice review of The Bride Wore Black by Bernard Herrmann on Quartet Records. #soundtrack youtu.be/2sTPWN5wvi8?...

Always a privilege to work on a Goldsmith score and get to waffle on and on and on about it. Listen to what the other guys say—they’re interesting!

The BBC has a neat article on the 1969 film, Midnight Cowboy. The music, quite rightly, earns a shoutout. It’s an excellent film and the music, supervised by John Barry, is excellent too.

For Ennio Morricone’s A Quiet Place in the Country, we were able to edit a new suite of movements representing the often atonal and experimental music heard in the film—there’s some sequences heard in the film now premiering on CD! #soundtrack quartetrecords.com/product/un-t...

The recent CD release of "Goldfinger" from @lalalandrecords.bsky.social includes the mono single version of the title song. I go into detail about how we put it together for the release.

The 1983 film, Class, kind of struggles to define its underlying message—comedy, serious, relationships, friendships. Elmer Bernstein wrote nice music—a warm theme and he scored several sequences more than once. Premiere #soundtrack from Quartet Records! quartetrecords.com/product/class/

Celebrate Henry Mancini’s birthday with The Pink Panther Soundtrack – You’ve never heard this version... until now! #soundtrack #Mancini #PinkPanther youtu.be/8Hd-itGhmUM

Henry Mancini, born on this day in 1924 (d. 1994), holds a spot in the top tier of film composers of the 20th century. Here's part of a thread I posted not long ago regarding Mancini, his work on the THE PINK PANTHER (1963), and other highlights from his career. 1/ #filmsky #musicsky #moviesky #botd

The Knack… And How To Get It. Music by John Barry. 60th anniversary edition soundtrack now available from our friends at Quartet Records. www.quartetrecords.com

Our new Soundtrack Spotlight examines Intrada’s recent presentation of ISLANDS IN THE STREAM, and doubles as a tribute to the great Doug Fake, with guests Roger Feigelson, Jeff Johnson, Chris Malone, Frank Dewald, and Joe Sikoryak. This one’s special. goldsmithodyssey.buzzsprout.com/159614/episo...

It’s an honour to see The Pink Panther nominated by the IFMCA alongside projects by colleagues I admire very much. It was by digging deep and turning every stone with tenacity that we finally found all the material to make this possible! Bravo Jose! Congratulations to all the nominees!

On Kim Stanley's centennial, I revisited her Oscar-nominated work in SÉANCE ON A WET AFTERNOON. This rare cinematic glimpse into the stage legend's majesty remains a beguiling object, somewhere between a study of grief and a dissection of self-delusion. thefilmexperience.net/blog/2025/2/...

Remembering legendary recording engineer, Eric Tomlinson, on what would have been his birthday. From Goldfinger, Star Wars, Raiders of the Lost Ark, to Great Songs from Great Britain, he worked alongside the best. I think about him often, he was a superb person. #music #engineering

We're reissuing ourselves on a new social platform for our 15th(?!) anniversary...

Have you seen the film Séance on a Wet Afternoon? It’s an excellent film. The score, by John Barry, is also excellent. Both are discussed here. youtu.be/Q3Fk1nL2KmE

Some comments have been added to the 'Books on Film Music' page on the Reel Music blog. As usual, there are a wide range of topics covered in the 15 essays, with some standout chapters that make this a worthwhile read reelmusic.wordpress.com/books-on-fil...

Back in 2021, I tried to interview Richard Perry about his work with Nilsson. He was only willing to do an email interview. I asked, "Are you surprised that Son of Schmilsson has become a cult classic?" He wrote back, "It's news to me that it’s a cult classic." RIP to a legend.
