Logan's
Run
Where disco met sci-fi but
without a dance beat in earshot. If you think you've heard Logan’s
Run then think again! This new edition from FSM featuring,
for the first time, the complete score is an absolute marvel.
Forget the previous LP and CD re-issues, FSM have slaved over
this recording and finally presented the music as it was originally
intended. No longer does the orchestra sound like five musicians
playing from inside a card box, they now sound like a full symphony
orchestra! The amazing electronic accompaniment is now full on
and a feast of incredible detail with new ingenious and terrifying
sounds pouring forth like a brand new score.
Goldsmith’s 76 score predating the Star Wars revolution
by one year still remains a respected piece of film music history.
Goldsmith’s work with electronics during the 60’s and
early 70’s effectively made Logan’s Run a culmination
of his efforts and this new CD presents a wealth of additional
electronic music to evaluate. They may not be easy listening
but they remain required and compulsive listening. For the tale
of a post apocalyptic vision - a world housed in a sterile and
oppressive futuristic city, Goldsmith extracted strings and keyboards
and overwhelmed them with a palette of pulsing, beeping electronics.
If there was anything to warn mankind of the dangers of progress
and technology, Goldsmith underlined the awful reality of relying
on computers to tell us how to live right here. In contrast a
full orchestra provides the relief and the sequences outside
the city, the triumphant sunrise remains a piece of Goldsmith
history and the playful beauty of the Monument a moment to savour. |
