Customer Reviews Legendary Film Score What Goldsmith did with this score is amazing. This is must have film music for any serious collector of scores. Capturing the essence of John Rambo's lonely walk in "Home Coming" immediately let's the audience know that this is no fairytale happy-ending story. There are a number of great themes throughout the album including "Escape Route" and "Over The Cliff". Rounding things out is "It's A Long Road" sung by Dan Hill in what has to be one of the finest "end credit" songs that I've ever heard. The lyrics fit the film perfectly and Dan Hill does a great job with the vocals. In fact, the only complaint that I have about this album is the horrible arrangement of the tracks. The cues are mixed and matched in a random fashion that has little to do with the chronological order of the film. Other than that, this is still some of the best film music that you can get your hands on. Espectacular y emotiva. It's a Long Road, en sus versiones instrumentales y en la versi?n cantada de Dan Hill, hacen que merezca la pena comprar este disco. Ser? breve. Una Joyita. . One of Jerry's best soundtracks Jerry really outdid himself in this soundtrack. This soundtrack rates as one of Jerry Goldsmith's all-time best. It's too bad in the sequels the music was boring and nothing special. What is so magical about this music is that Goldsmith has always been a MASTER at chase scenes. Basically, this whole movie is running, running, running (from the cops) and the score makes it suspenseful and exciting. The music transforms a movie that was somewhat ordinary into something extraordinary. Particularly notable tracks are The Razor and Over the Cliff. Arthur Morton's orchestration is superb. He and Goldsmith collaberated on lots of films and they were a good team. Unfortunately, Morton has recently passed away. This is one of Goldsmith's top 3 soundtracks. The others I would recommend are Poltergeist and Coma. Unfortunately, Coma is long out of print, and even had a re-issue that went out of print almost immediately after it was released. Coma is interesting because it ALSO has wonderful chase scenes in the music. Poltergeist, of course, has a beautiful and inspiring soundtrack all the way thru the movie. It is actually a shame that although Goldsmith has done music for 100s of movies, most of his soundtrack music is "blah" and very very boring. These 3 are his best and the only Goldsmith soundtracks I own. I wish more of his movie music were more interesting like these 3. .
