Episode 28- Harryhausen: The Lost Movies, Part 2

The fourth installment of our musical retrospective focuses on the soundtracks for two of Ray Harryhausen’s most beloved films- the two Sinbad films of the 1970s. With ‘The Golden Voyage of Sinbad’, Ray was able to work alongside one of his musical heroes- legendary composer Miklos Rosza. The resulting soundtrack was a perfect fit for the 1973 classic, with a rich and exotic score that acted as the perfect accompaniment for Ray’s fantastical on-screen creations.Then, in 1977, up and coming composer Roy Budd created the soundtrack for ‘Sinbad and the Eye of the Tiger’- a score packed with adventure and magic. Listen as hosts John Walsh and Connor Heaney select their personal highlights from both scores, as well as their thoughts on Ray Harryhausen’s movie music from this period. Selected tracks from Intrada Records 2016 release for ‘The Golden Voyage of Sinbad’ are presented, in order to showcase music which was either edited or cut completely from the final film. Foundation conservator and Harryhausen megafan Alan Friswell also joins us to share his thoughts on the rich musical legacy of the Sinbad films.Track listing:Intro- Main Title (Sinbad and the Eye of the Tiger)The Golden Voyage of Sinbad'Koura Challenges Sinbad To Fight Kali/Kali Fight/Green Men Put Margiana In Pit''Homunculus Drops Tablet on Sinbad’s Ship''Centaur Attacks Sinbad 'Sinbad and the Eye of the Tiger'Minaton''The Pyramid''Melanthius'
