With the aid of their magic amulet, the good folks at Intrada Records have finally located the missing pieces of Jerry Goldsmith’s score for the 1982 animated film The Secret of NIMH. In this new Soundtrack Spotlight, mastering engineer Chris Malone, liner notes writer Jeff Bond, and Intrada's own Roger Feigelson join your humble hosts Jens, Yavar, David, and Clark for an examination of the definitive new presentation of this extraordinary work. You'll hear conversation about why this score sounds richer than ever, what the handful of new cues add to the listening experience, this score's significance within Goldsmith's larger body of work, and much more. As always, you'll hear plenty of illustrative excerpts from the new album along the way. Remember: you can unlock any door if you only have the key, and you can listen to this podcast if you only click the play button.

Here's the track list!

It's a long road
when you're fixing First Blood
And it hurts when
you have to double dip

But this new release
Corrects some notable flaws
In some crucial ways
It really rights the ship

It's a Spotlight
Your hosts David and Jens, they'll tell ya
They're here to inform ya
And they brought some friends

Roger Feigelson
And Neil S. Bulk
Serve as our special guests
Explain why this new release is the best,
For you and meeeee

Cause restoration is long, yeah
Each step is only the beginning
They've fixed the speed now
And added tiny pieces that were missing

It's a good show
And it's short as hell
You should give it a spin
Before you buy

Now they've fixed First Blood
And that's the end of it
A definitive release that just might
Make John Rambo cry!

It's another Soundtrack Spotlight! This time, your humble hosts Yavar and David are joined by liner notes writer Tim Greiving and mastering engineer Chris Malone for an examination of Jerry Goldsmith's alternately lyrical and chilling score for Robert Mulligan's 1972 horror film The Other. Previously only available on CD as a 22-minute suite, the complete score has been beautifully restored and reveals itself as a yet another remarkable Goldsmith work. In this show, you'll hear discussion of the film's troubled production history and mixed critical reception, the advances in audio restoration tools since the release of the previous album, Goldsmith's eclectic instrumental choices, and much more. Plus, as usual, you'll hear plenty of musical selections from the new album along the way. Unfortunately, the CD sold out long before we were able to get this program to the finish line, but remains available for digital purchase and can be heard via the major music streaming services. So give our Spotlight a listen, or just wait until we learn how to astrally project our thoughts into your mind. Enjoy!
