The Music of Innerspace, Pt 1

A sly, goofy movie that paradoxically has one of the most majestic main themes you could ever hope for.

1. Let's Get Small (State of the Art)
2. Environmental Adjust (Optic Nerves)

where did you find the soundtrack?

@12daltonlieb123. Lalalandrecords was selling a limited edition.

This is great to hear finally! We could live off just the movies scored by Goldsmith, Williams and (Thomas Newman) State of the Art is a timeless wonder. Let's bring this Motion Picture back in 3D Imax, just to see how people react to real story, comedy AND special effects! Zero Defects.

GO PERCUSSION

@reformedfruit Absolutely. And the range of his work is quite staggering. "Alien" on the one hand, something like Explorers/Total Recall on the other. Awesome stuff.

@TheGrumpstein - I agree, it does sound great. One of the things I enjoy about Goldsmith is how he would experiment with irregular beats/rhythms, and the "heart beat" sound was no exception, how it carries the song and yet doesn't completely sync with the song. Similar to what Goldsmith does with "Preparations" in Rambo III, where he's got a bunch of percussion instruments all sort of playing in their own way, that don't sync with each other, and yet it sounds incredible.

@reformedfruit On the bootleg version of the soundtrack the heartbeat is actually in the score. On this version (which I guess is official?) it's missing the sound effect but overall much better quality.

@TheScriabin wow

30 seconds later... I take it back, Jerry (and this score) is absolutely amazing. I don't know what I'm talking about!!

Don't get me wrong, I absolutely adore Jerry Goldsmith, but I often get the sense you could take his soundtracks and apply them to many different films - this could be the opening of a Roman epic or a Western perhaps. But each John Williams score, on the other hand seems to fit each movie like a glove. Jurassic Park, Jaws and ET totally belong to those films.
