Alan CrossHOST
In fact, this would be a good time to play this single.
Alan CrossHOST
In addition to half a dozen samples, including a bit from the original 1967 Mission Impossible movie, which was scored by the famous Lalo Schifrin, that jangling thing in the background is one of those cimbaloms.
Alan CrossHOST
When dropped into the middle of the grunge era, it was like falling into an abyss, and the overall reaction to a song like this was, what is this?

'Cause nobody loves me as true.
JustinHOST
And let me see.
JustinHOST
Lalo Schifrin composed the music for this movie.
JustinHOST
He's most famous for doing the Mission Impossible theme.
JustinHOST
And I mentioned that Bronson in Ireland vacationed in Switzerland.
Robert P. OttoneGUEST
But there's, you know, by the time you get to the Amityville horror, there's so much that came before it, including Jaws and The Exorcist.
Robert P. OttoneGUEST
And it's like, OK, well, I could see the Lalo Schifrin score of the Amityville horror clearly inspired by the simplicity of Jaws and the, you know, the impact of The Exorcist.
Robert P. OttoneGUEST
So much so that apparently it was an alternate score for The Exorcist that William Friedkin was like, absolutely not.
Robert P. OttoneGUEST
Um, but it's just, it's fascinating to see that evolution.
Matt BourneHOST
The score.
Matt BourneHOST
Yeah, Lalo Schifrin is a great composer, right? Yeah.
Matt BourneHOST
I think this score is absolutely diabolical.
Matt BourneHOST
Parts of it, especially at the beginning, keep making me think of the first Ninja Turtles film.
BeauHOST
Because the music is so good.
BeauHOST
I think it was Lalo Schifrin or somebody that did the score to that.
JakeHOST
Yeah, the song that you hear in everything.
JakeHOST
Yeah,
BeauHOST
Ennio Morricone did the music.
BeauHOST
Sergio Leone did the movie.
BeauHOST
I couldn't remember if it was Ennio Morricone or Lalo Schifrin, so it was Ennio Morricone.
BeauHOST
Okay, well, anyway, Resident Evil.
Chuck BryantHOST
Music was by Michael Small.
Chuck BryantHOST
To my ears, he sounds a lot like Lalo Schifrin, and it sounded to me a lot like the soundtrack from Dirty Harry.
Chuck BryantHOST
I made that same mistake when we reviewed Clute, and the music from Clute was also written by Michael Small.
Chuck BryantHOST
And we're going to get to hear him one more time this year when we review The Parallax View in November.
Brian SaurHOST
and producers Jack Weiner and David Niven Jr., all interviewed for this disc, which I assume that's, a lot of those people aren't still with us, so must be from a DVD release.
Brian SaurHOST
Anyway, it's a two, three, five to one, you know, guys on a mission movie with a Lalo Schifrin score.
Brian SaurHOST
And, you know, it just, it's one that I remember being excited about when I heard about it, you know, for all the reasons that, the, the cast, and so far that you see here, um, I don't, I think this has come out, yeah, this isn't a debut, I want to say Shout Factory put this out, uh, stateside, but I don't think it features all these features, in fact, I don't know if it has any features, I, I can't remember, but I do like a good George P. Cosmanos movie, including...
Brian SaurHOST
Cassandra Crossing, 1976.
Josiah BullockGUEST
If I had to hit on three quick highlights for the year, I'm a little biased, and these are all pieces that I'm playing.
Josiah BullockGUEST
But in the spring, we are playing this piece by Lalo Schifrin called La Nivelle Orleans.
Josiah BullockGUEST
He was an Argentinian composer who obviously was inspired by New Orleans, wanted to write a piece about it.
Josiah BullockGUEST
our city and that's for wingman quintet and we're going to pair that with a valerie coleman piece called red clay in mississippi delta probably my biggest highlight for the year is going to be the prolonged sextet for piano and wingman quintet that's in january i think it's a just phenomenal piece has a lot of french elements but it also is inspired by it belongs trips to the circus and you hear some of that in there and you hear some inspiration from jazz and ragtime music And then in our upcoming concert in September, I'm doing these two trios for flute, horn, and piano.
KevinHOST
His real passion was hip hop, collecting obscure vinyl, cutting up film scores, and treating sampling not as borrowing, but as a fine art collage.
KevinHOST
Borrowing soundtrack LPs from a local DJ, Andy Smith, he fell in love with film composers like Lalo Schifrin, John Barry, and Ennio Marconi.
LesleyHOST
I know, I can't believe that.
KevinHOST
that cinematic drama would end up becoming Portishead's entire DNA they started recording demos whenever they could find space including the kitchen of singer Nina Cherry while Barrow was working on her album Homebrew that's someone we haven't spoken about for
Kooper CooperHOST
John Barry's Bond scores helped establish the template, sophisticated orchestration mixed with jazz, brass, and rhythm.
Kooper CooperHOST
Lalo Schifrin brought a cooler, more urban sound to Mission Impossible, and Henry Mancini gave The Pink Panther its slinky, mischievous identity.
Kooper CooperHOST
And composers such as Piero Umilani, Bruno Nicolai, Ennio Morricone, and countless others across European cinema pushed the formula into increasingly strange territory.
Kooper CooperHOST
Suddenly, espionage had its own musical vocabulary.
