As customary on THE ARCHIVE, today’s episode is packed with excellent music. Jason Drury opens the show with ‘On Earth as It Is in Heaven’ from Ennio Morricone’s award-winning score for THE MISSION (Virgin Records), in honour of its 40th anniversary.
Jason then continues with music from the 35th anniversary release of THE GODFATHER CODA: THE DEATH OF MICHAEL CORLEONE ( La La Land Records), composed by Carmine Coppola, Robert Folk’s score from MILES FROM HOME (Quartet Records), Simon Franglen’s THE CURSE OF TURANDOT (Sony Music) and music from the new 3-disc JOHNNY DOUGLAS COLLECTION from Dulcima Records.
The show continues by commemorating the 40th anniversary of POLTERGEIST II (Intrada Records) by playing selections from Jerry Goldsmith’s score. You’ll also hear selections from the album LEE HOLDRIDGE GOES TO THE OLYMPICS (Dragon’s Domain Records) and Tangerine Dream’s classic electronic score for the 1977 action thriller SORCERER (Esoteric Recordings).
Jason then rounds off the show with the “End Titles” from Leonard Rosenman’s soundtrack for STAR TREK IV: THE VOYAGE HOME, which is also marking its 40th anniversary this year!
I told you the show was packed.
Enjoy.

Great episode from Jason I really enjoyed this one from Jason and Erik. That cue from The Mission, On Earth as It Is in Heaven is sublime and its incredible Morricone didn’t get the Oscar for his score. Miklos Rozsa left the academy because they changed the voting system here what he said in an interview he did in 1978 and may give a reason as to why The Mission score didn’t get the Oscar? “it all has to do with the popularity of the movie rather than the merit of the individual contribution. The voters often don’t have the proper qualifications. I don’t feel qualified to judge set decoration; why should a set decorator feel qualified to judge music? But that’s how the American Academy works. I even prefer the title of the French Academy: it’s the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Techniques — not Arts and Sciences.” (By JOHN HARTL Seattle Times) March 5, 1978.) The Godfather scores are Magnificent I never get tired of listening to them. Thks to CSR again for a great episode, your keeping me on my toes LOL.
