can anybody tell me, if the instrument at 7:01 and 7:05 is a shofar or a serpent? need to know it, because I want to use that instrument in my next film score :)

Thanks for posting this! I saw the movie a few days ago for the very first time and I loved it. It gave me the chills! Loved the score as well!

BMI (of which Jerry was a member) used to have a film showing Goldsmith recording this score. It was difficult for the musicians and he got aggravated at several points. Great stuff. Wish that would show up here.

A wonderfully disturbing score....

@oceantracks Apparently that footage was part of (or at least included in) a documentary called The Score. I've wanted to see it for YEARS! I read somewhere that it (or bits of it) was included as a Mephisto Waltz DVD extra at some point - not on the DVD version I have, alas! Can anyone help us find this footage!!!!!!?

Thanks for posting this!!! Have always loved this film and the score even more than the film!

Oooh, so what are some of the other contenders, penti77? I want more of this stuff!

It's always great to hear some new Goldsmith (at least new to me) especially when he's working that eerie, abstract, unsettling side of the street that he does so well. So thanks for digging this one up- it makes me wanna see the movie!

Perhaps Jerry's most disturbing movie score,
