True. I meant score-only releases in those cases. Same with FLETCH. It’s getting a reissue soon, but it’s just the songtrack. Not a score-only, alas.
Here’s the campaign, for those not in the know: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/129145902/dial-m-for-murder-film-score-recording?ref=created_projects
Tiomkin and/or DIAL M FOR MURDER is fine, but not really something I crave or have any particular desire to contribute towards. If, however, someone decides to release anything COMPLETELY unreleased that I want, I’d consider contributing — stuff like STORY OF A WOMAN (Williams), ALCOA PREMIERE THEATRE (Williams), TOP GUN, SCARFACE. Anything unreleased by Elfman and Goldenthal. But I doubt that’s ever going to happen.
Interesting that you have KRULL as no. 1. I’ve had the 2CD forever, but except a track or two, it’s never done anything for me (it’s exasperating; and too much ‘horror’ material). But I’ve recently re-programmed the tracks into the old Southern Cross programme (the short, original one), and have high hopes that this new presentation will lead to a new appreciation of this score.
Good selection, Malte. Stefan Nilsson is genius. PELLE THE CONQUEROR is one of my favourite Nordic scores of all time, and I treasure my Nilsson compilation dearly.
Frans Bak I know personally; I particularly loved his recent score for the series DISPARUE.
Halfdan E is a friend of mine too, and he regularly does good stuff, although he’s missing that one big breakthrough assignment.
Fläskkvartetten is a group that doesn’t get the credit they deserve. Their score for the Norwegian movie EGGS was great; one of the best Norwegian films of the 90s.
Jacob Groth I’m familiar with, but haven’t really taken the time to check out his work.
I love Søren Hyldgaard’s work, as well as Björn Isfält — two composers that were taken from us way too early.

I think McNeely has shown he’s not up to the task with Shadows of the Empire.
Really? I love that album.
