Post subject: | Misery Marc Shaiman Complete |
I did post this here once, but didn’t really go into it too much. Misery was Marc Shaiman’s first major score, and is nothing short of great! Rather then traditional horror score cliches, it takes itself in a more beautiful and eerie direction. There was a cd release for Misery, which luckily did contain a good chunk of music from the film. It was however, mostly suites instead of individual tracks (with the exception of “open house” and “go to your room”). That and a few important cues where omitted. With all of this said, I think it would make a great addition to intrada’s ever growing collection. Hopefully someday Misery makes it onto their list. Here’s a rough track listing of the music that’s heard in the film. 1: Paul Sheldon 2: Number One Fan 3: Compound Fracture 4: Paul Gets A Shave 5: Soup / Profanity Bothers Annie 6: I love You Paul 7: Buster 8: A Clue 9: Buster Turns Back 10: Paul The Poet 11: Winter Day / Meet “Misery” 12: Annie Laments 13: Dirty Birdy 14: Paul Tries To Escape 15: Annie’s Idea 16: Lighting The Match 17: The Ozone 18: Misery’s Return 19: Hair Clip 20: Unappreciative Paul 22: Open House 22: Go To Your Room 23: Snowy Transition 24: Oh Paul 25: Annie’s Got The Blues 26: Kitchen Knife 27: Memory Lane 28: Paul Waits 29: The Needle 30: Buster Clues In 31: Arriving At The House 32: Annie’s Bluff 33: Investigating 34: Buster’s Last Stand 35: The Plan 36: Annie’s Final Chapter 37: Dinner Vision |

To point out the reasons why the CD that Bay Cities put was only 30 Minutes and that is because of the heavy union reuse fees back over 30 years ago since it was recorded in Los Angeles and Nick Redman and Bruce Kimmel could only pay for so much unlike other labels like MCA Records or Warner Bros. Records that could afford to pay those fees at that time. If what I've heard is correct and that is that the score featured a big orchestra and if there's a choir on top of that, the reuse on this one is really high. The reason the score sounds so good is definitely because of the work of composer/orchestrator Dennis Dreith who was the one who fully realized what Marc Shaiman wanted to do for the film. He's a definitely big part of it and deserves alot of credit. I can definitely see this coming out but not from Intrada. I can honestly see this from Quartet Records since they've expanded alot more MGM scores in the past and recently. |
