Reply To: What are your top 10 soundtrack score one hit wonders and dabblers?
THE LONG GOOD FRIDAY is a favourite of mine. The opening theme always reminded me of The Alan Parsons Project’s “Gold Bug”. Dig the whole CD, including the songs. And the film.
I have the LP since the late 80s and dig it as well. I think it was a bargain and blind buy even! I only saw the movie conciously a few years ago! Too bad that it was recording in mono or at least no stereo elements survived (the later 2CD edition had a fake stereo mix only).
Interestingly I also always found it sounded like Alan Parsons, athough no one of them is involved. Monkman has a very loose connection to them as he indeed appears as a guest on harpsichod on TALES OF MYSTERY AND IMAGINATION “House of Usher” suite on “Pavane”. Seems to have been his only time.
Did you ever check out any of his band’s or solo albums?
