That hand written font on the Intrada CD of STRAIGHT STORY is actually from posters, used with different images:

https://www.listal.com/viewimage/423195Yes, the Intrada is a straight re-issue of the original soundtrack album with the original poster art.
That’s the cover I actually have, it’s not all that much different?
Oh yes, much better. Proper font, better colour, Farnsworth heading the “right” way.
Is that the right direction? Not sure anymore.
But I too like the score a lot, it’s a very nice score for a good movie.Is that the right direction? Not sure anymore.
The photo does not really tell the direction, does it? 😉
Méchaly isn’t that interesting most of the time, but with this 2019 effort aka SWOON (plus MAGNIFICAT from 2023), he shows his chops, at least. Pretty old-school, romantic orchestral score heavy on waltzy themes, and with a Fellini/Rota-esque swagger, maybe a dash of Elfman’s EDWARD SCISSORHANDS (no doubt a temp track).
Pink Floyd, and its solo members, have dabbled in film music now and then. This 1987 Nick Mason score was finally released a few years ago. I don’t have it physically, as it’s only part of a box with his other two solo albums (which I already own on CD), only digitally. But it’s a fine, bluesy effort.
That cover should be tantalizing enough in itself, eh? So rest assured, this is a great, lush score by the interesting Errèra that goes from expansive to intimate. The composer blasted on to the scene (for me, anyway) with the delicious EDM score to NUIT BLANCHE in 2011, then this, then the Hisaishi-ian ADORING in 2019. Well worth checking out.

Gotta be brutally honest: While I like many Rota things, I’ve always had a bit of trouble getting into his Fellini stuff (or Fellini’s films, for that matter) – it’s all so rowdy and noisy. But when he calms down a bit, it’s pretty nice. Same is true for this, the most classic of their collaborations.
Medicine Man and Rudy. I’ve been trying to love, rather than only appreciate, Goldsmith. Familiarity breeds affection (or contempt), so they say. I’m aiming for the former.
