Music reviews of Planet Of The Apes: Original Motion Picture Soundtrack - Also Featuring Music From Escape From The Planet Of The Apes
Music Review: A Must Buy for Film Score Enthusiasts
Rating: 4 Stars
I received my Planet of the Apes soundtrack today. It's a great soundtrack from a socially-relevant (even today) film. Additionally, the only film with so great an ending was The Sixth Sense.Anyway...
The first part of this Varese Sarabande realease includes music from the first film.
The second part includes music from Escape from the POA.
The cover on this one is like a movie poster illustration, and the overall release is better than the one that was released with a cover that was largely white in its background and pictured a bamboo cage. (I have that previous release on cassette. You don't want it. The one I just got includes the entire score and replaces 8 cues and/or full orchestrations missing from my earlier version. This newer one is much better.)
The only bad things are:
The 1953 Fox fanfare music (it sounds bad); and
Half of the music from Escape from the POA (the first part is too sixties-ish - it just doesn't fit in with the origianl score - the rest of Escape is good Goldsmith).
The liner notes are good, provided one understands musical terms like pizzicato. If not, the stills from the films are pretty cool.
The score is certainly modernist. If you like lush scores with recognizable melodies and classical-like orchestrations, this is not one for you. It's jungle-like and chaotic.
On the other hand, if you like film music that helps you recall the actions and emotions in the film - well, then this one is a keeper. I couldn't imagine going camping or rafting in the wilds without it.
Finally, having only recently learned that Charleton Heston has Ahlzheimner's Disease somehow makes this recording that much more precious.
Amazon.com is the best thing since...well, nothing. Amazon.com is in a class by itself!!! Thanks for a great service!!!
