YAAAAH-HOOOOO,,,,, IT"S FINALLY HERE!!!! http://www.filmscoremonthly.com/cds/detail.cfm?cdID=422

 

It has been about 26 years now that I have been longing for this complete score as I am sure many of you have been also. Lukas Kendall and Mike Matessino, are the hero’s that accomplished this much awaited musical project,,, They have so passionately compiled all the music composed by the Great Jerry Goldsmith for this film and have put it all on one complete disc. Jerry created some incredible themes and scores for the TZ movie and I have not stopped playing this one since I got it yesterday!!! Enchanting, brilliant, Moving and Hauntingly Beautiful, this one is a masterpiece and a must have,,, Only 3000 CD’s cut for this release so don’t wait to long to snag this one. For a quick sample of the music there is a cue or two on the website and plenty more on You tube under Twilight Zone the movie soundtrack!!! OK fellow Goldsmith collectors be sure to give me ago when you get this one and we’ll have a musical review day!!! Happy collecting.

Way back in the 1990’s there was a fun little show on TV called ST, DS9. It was a time when big hand built models from plastic, wood and steel were constructed to be filmed on a motion control stage,,, Wooo-WEEEE that all  seems so long ago!!! because of the huge cost factor to make and shoot a model the call for new ships on DS9 were far a few between. For the final seasons of the show there were a few calls for a handfull of new ships to be created for a few choice episodes,, who would have thought that in just a few years forward you would have single episodes with as many as 5 to six new ships filling the screen like flys on a cows butt!!! HAAA! So with that here is the super big daddy dominion battleship called for to challenge the crew of the tiny Defiant class ship “the Valiant” the ship went thru a few small changes but kept it’s overall mass and shape throughout the illustrated process!! here are the sketches that were developed plus some very nice schematic and size charts from Brad and Gilso’s web pages.  here are the links to both of their sites. and also the link to the mighty Ex-astris-Scientia page that is awfully darned cool,!! very nice site and full of very accurate scales and definitions to the various ST vehicles!!!
