INTRADA Announces: NAVY SEALS Composed and Conducted by SYLVESTER LEVAY INTRADA Special Collection Volume 151 For the 1990 MGM film Navy Seals, composer Sylvester Levay provided a score combining his unique electronic compositional style with that of a traditional symphony orchestra. “I always wanted to meld the modern sound of electronic rock and pop with the classical elements of an orchestra. And it brought a very special atmosphere to the movie," commented Levay. In the music featured during the movie’s first act, the computerized quality of Levay’s music spotlights both the high-tech weapons and the icy, near-mechanical precision of the death-dealing SEALS. Once the SEALS reach thir training camp, the score morphs, with Levay’s excited electric piano rhythm joining with brass, and then a full, patriotic Seals theme for orchestra, conveying the unabashed, heroic excitement of these skillful warriors in action. Full on military percussion soon joins the score, with the orchestra seamlessly added to a rhythmic ‘mission prep” theme as the SEALS theme rises majestically. Ultimately, it is the breathlessly exciting, climactic action cues that Levay would find the true spirit of these Navy SEAL warriors. Navy Seals features Charlie Sheen as maverick SEALS Lieutenant Dale Hawkins, who butts heads with the cool-as-ice Lt. James Curran, played by Terminator star Michael Biehn. The movie’s SEALS would also include Rick Rossovich, as well as Bill Paxton, portraying a sniper codenamed “God.” Their mission is to take out the nefarious Al Shohada terrorist leader Ben Shaheed (Nicholas Kadi) and his stash of stingers. Helping the team accomplish their mission is Claire Varrens (Joanne Whalley-Kilmer), a reluctant, half-Lebanese reporter who provides Seals’ sole female support. This Intrada Signature Edition is limited to 1200 units.

I am completely unfamiliar with Sylvester Levay... in fact, this might well be my first acquisition of any of his scores. Ordered! |

I've always had a soft spot for Levay's score to HOT SHOTS, so I'm looking forward to giving this a spin. Can't say that I remember the score that well but what I do remember about the movie is that if they would have paid as much interest in the script as they did with the hair-dews, this would have been an instant classic. But I've alway been a big fan of Charlie Sheen and Michael Biehn. - THE ATTACK OF THE CHIPPENDALE WARRIORS - You got my thumbs up for this release INTRADA, action scores is'nt something were spoiled with, Keep on bringing em'.

Thank you Intrada!  I have been waiting a long time for this score, it's indeed one of Levays finest! Copy ordered. And now I don't have to remake all the tracks myself. |

But what's up with the electric solo guitar on the "high jumpers" sample/teaser track? That's not in the movie? It sounds tacked on and downright ugly in some places. Why are things added to the score that are not original? Are those samples representative for the final CD? Original: |

YEEEEEEEEESSSSSSSSSSSSS i'm very GLAD for this world premiere of sylvester levay...Thank you INTRADA !!!!! But i listen to samples tracks of Navy Seals on the site and i'm a little disappointed because The Main Title and High Jumpers are different than in the movie... The Main Title : there's a little orchestral percussion at the beginning of this cue until 0:44sec ,but in the movie the 0:44 first sec are entirely electronic most of all at the 0:44st ,there's a beautiful electronic percussion like a gunshot...for the rest it's the same High Jumpers : It's the same cue but there's a electric guitar added . Thank You very much Intrada and please more from sylvester levay in the future
