SATAN BUG, THE: ARCHIVAL EDITION

Label: FSMCD Vol.10 No.6
Date: 1965
Tracks: 28
Time = 61:21

Original soundtrack from exciting John Sturges sci-fi thriller with George Maharis, Richard Basehart, Anne Francis. Jerry Goldsmith creates stunning orchestral work with emphasis on brass, woodwinds, percussion, keyboards plus low strings, pair of early synthesizers. Sensational meld of scary suspense, dynamic action. Main title, with surging melodic bass line below, complex harmonies above plus punctuation from xylophone is a standout! Note: this is an "archival edition" drawn from surviving stereo master tapes (smaller-scale cues running about a half hour) plus remainder of score in mono utilizing music & effects tracks (music plus sound effects minus dialog) appearing as isolated score feature of 1996 laserdisc release. Jerry Goldsmith conducts. Compelling liner notes by Jeff Bond illuminate behind-the-scenes production details, music scoring, individual track analysis, more! Graphic packaging another big asset! Jerry Goldsmith conducts. Music itself hits a bullseye; FSM limited edition of 3000 CDs gets applause for noteworthy presentation of entire score under tough circumstances!
