After debuting at No. 1 last week, Jerry Goldsmith’s album At 20th Century Fox (CD 1) falls to No. 2 with 281,000, a sales slide of 66%. Nowhere is this more so than on their re-working of Jerry Goldsmith on ‘Main Title (from Patton)’. This -song debut EP shows the promise that Jerry Goldsmith has. This album is awesome.
Music and lyrics of First Battle (from Patton) creates, for me, fertile ground for daydreaming. As always, Jerry Goldsmith’s lyrics are worth listening to again and again. This track is a fabulous selection of easy listening, suitable for any age, taste or occasion. Pensive Patton / End Titles (f…) has a gorgeous instrumental sound, which lets Jerry Goldsmith’s strong vocals come to the fore. Within the first few notes of Main Title (from Tora! Tora! T…) it’s perfectly clear that Jerry Goldsmith is living this song. It’s so catchy, it’s amazing. Pre-Flight Countdown (from Tora! Tora! Tora!) is an incredible song that has everything it needs to be another favorite track. This song stands out greatly from the others. The Final Message (from Tora!…) is new, fresh, and hypnotizing. Overture (from The Sand Pebble…) (2:19) a good melody. Main Title (from The Sand Pebbles) has a beautifully haunting disco flavor. This song is like perfectly aged vintage bordeaux wine not a tequila shot. Death Of A Thousand Cuts (from…) is a song you cannot help but think about at odd moments in your day. Main Title / Tokyo Assignment - is a breath or fresh air compared to many previous songs of Jerry Goldsmith. It is succeeded by an outstanding track, however: Main Title (from The Blue Max), which shows, blatantly, how much Jerry Goldsmith has evolved as a singer. First Blood (from The Blue Max) pretty much defines how I feel spiritually. The Attack (from The Blue Max) I just LOVE this mix! Main Title (from Planet Of The Apes) is one of the best records ever. The Clothes Snatchers (from Pl…) one of the best in my collection. After you’ve listened to The Hunt (from Planet Of The A…), most everything else can’t hold up and is second rate. Main Title (from Escape From T…) - Okay, I just talked about depth. The song Our Man Flint (from Our Man Fl…) ending is my favorite… so catchy! Jerry Goldsmith rocks harder than ever with You’re A Foolish Man, Mr. Flint (from Our Man Flint). Where The Bad Guys Are Gals (f…) is probably the highlight of the album. Mince and Cook Until Tender (from In Like Flint) is one of the more up-tempo songs on At 20th Century Fox (CD 1).
