Note: for almost 8 months, I've patiently been waiting for this score to leak so I could finally post my deluxe edition. I've had this for over 6 months but was not authorized to share. Thank God for other people who have it through (free) legitimate methods to avoid the unnecessary hassle of paying exorbitant amounts of money for it and having that fear of not being able to get other good stuff if you share it. I pay for bootleg scores but I don't feel good about it...at all. Especially when it means I can't share with you guys and gals but trust me, someday, somehow I will have something to post that I won't get in trouble for. Something big. Let's see what the future brings.
Since I saw the film in theaters on opening weekend and re-watching it on DVD (remember that nifty "Choose Your Fate" seamless branching gimmick that claims to be listed on the back on the Bluray but is mysteriously nowhere to be found, hidden or otherwise?), I've been tracking this score down. I've known one person over the years that had it (JustinBoggans) but he was extremely apprehensive about sharing it with me out of respect for Shirley Walker's estate. I can't hold any grievances with him over that but it still sucked he had it and simply wouldn't share it. Anyway...it's here now so I can take a breath and enjoy this wonderfully wicked slice of the late Shirley Walker's resume.
I performed my usual edits on this: removing silences, mixing smaller pieces into a larger piece (and let's face it there's a lot of short cues) and helping to enhance flow. Flow wasn't so much of an issue when editing this together luckily enough. To my shock, I found that it was actually much shorter than I expected. That alone tells me about the true gift of Shirley Walker: she writes very little music but when it plays, it's big and makes you think there's more of it than there really is. Another example being Harry Manfredini's score to Friday the 13th. It was so effective and I originally thought that there was much more playing that I zoned out upon repeat viewings but when the Bluray hit stores with the 5.1 remixed track and I ripped the score myself, I was surprised to find that the score as in the film was under 40 minutes. That gripe aside, this is a really fun score during its short 43 minutes and if you're into this type of music you certainly will enjoy it. There's a fair amount of Walker's trademark brass and percussion that gets played to the intense max for this score which for me makes a great driving album...to freak the shit out of passersby or as a way to test out my car audio system's capabilities anyway. Alongside Willard, this score is my 2nd favorite Walker score. She has recorded more thematically dense scores than this but themes aren't what I turn to this album for. It's the long drawn-out suspense and hard-hitting intense action cues that appear frequently throughout the album that draw me back. They are perfect for the scenes they accompany and are wickedly fun to listen to outside of the film. Dare I say that it's Walker's second most playful score after Willard? Hopefully LLLR will get their edition out soon. We know it's coming. We just don't know when.
As I soon found out after I obtained my copy, the nearly 8 year wait was more than worth it for the amount of replays it has generated along with playing a huge part in the construction of Symphony No. 4: Murder on the Night Plains Vol. 4. I will re-up that as soon as I can. It's a cool album to listen to alongside this score.
Without further adieu, enjoy!
