Three little mini reviews I wrote not as official reviews, but just in a "No Playing" thread at a film score board:


"Behold Hawaii" (short film, 1983)
Score by: Basil Poledouris
TT: 21:26 (15 tracks)

I had advanced hope of some tropical percussion and guitar and melodic stuff from Basil, but it's not like that. There's some percussion later on, and some kind of guitar on one track, but I can't say it's necessarily tropical.

Some orchestra, some synths -- not sure how to categorize it. But it sounds like it going with what's going on screen, at times, so there's a move here, a move there, etc.
It's not until an action cue that we get a taste of [wooden?] percussion.

I have no idea what it's about (I only care about the music, not the short film).

Overall it's an okay score. Nothing great or stand out, and certainly not his best, but there's a couple of good plesant tracks, though those track never reach their full height or potential. A time or two I hear some early "Robocop" stuff.


"American Journeys" (Disneyland short film, 1984)
Score by: Basil Poledouris
TT: 16:32


As you might expect, the West, America, equals some good scoring. Sound quality is pretty bad -- imagine that old boot of Delerue's for his rejected score to SWTWC, with slightly better sound and no watery muddle -- that's what you got.

Sounds like pure orchestra, no sounds. Some boombast, some lushness, a semi lyrical trombone playing a wonderful theme that's memorable. Too bad the score is so short.
Included is his own arrangement of "God Bless America".

The score goes out with some more tender pieces. They meander a little bit, but I assume they worked wonders against the screen. No grand finale piece or big re-praisal of the main theme, unless this is the incomplete score.


"Dolphin" (short film, 1979)
Score by: Basil Poledouris
TT: 4:26


IMDB lists the short at 58 minutes, so I assume there's more score.

Orchestral, some electric guitar do-wah's (yeah, that's how I'll describe it), and some piano, so forth. You'd thin you're watching a film about a southern guy trying to get out of his life of drinking at the bar, to better things, than a documentary about dolphins. At least I assume there's dolphins in it. IMDB has a musician credited as an "Underwater piano player".

It's okay, nothing special. Could have been better with a strong theme and more chances to flesh out the score.


"Scoccer" (sort film, year unknown)
Score by: Basil Poledouris
TT: 9:06 (five tracks)


I did a quick IMDB and internet search, and I can't seem to come up with a short film named "Soccer"; maybe it's obscure, maybe it was shelved, maybe it's forgotten to time so far, who knows. I'm guessing by the music probably the late '70's.

A fun bouncy, upbeat score with percussion and some scoring that you could possibly associate with a light '70's police series. This is the closet to "Funky" I've heard from Basil; saxophones, electric guitar licks, some "wahs" like in the "CHiPs" Silvestri theme arrangement, kick drum, but not purely so (one cue really, though elements are in other cues).

It's enjoyable, though it's not well connected and a little disjointed, but if you miss the days of scoring like this, it's a good listen.

This score had the best sound quality, which isn't that great. And so concludes the boot.
