Orca: The Killer Whale - Ennio Morricone
Full Score/Soundtrack
Here is the now out-of-print (OOP) soundtrack to the cult favorite "Orca: The Killer Whale". This movie was born out of the whole JAWS craze, but is actually much better than you might think. It's a bit of a Jaws rip-off, but it comes off pretty well with good acting, interesting story and above all a fantastic score by Ennio Morricone. I read somewhere that he said this was one of his personal favorite scores he's composed. I haven't seen the movie in probably 20 yrs now, so I can't remember details, but I do remember enjoying it quite a bit.

Sorry I've been out of the scene for a bit. This year is just crazy busy and the weeks fly by. Today I have the Basil Poledouris soundtrack to the 80s action "classic" Conan the Barbarian. I haven't seen this movie in nearly 20 years, but the soundtrack is pretty good. My favorite track is "Anvil of Crom" it's such a great tune. I can listen to that on loop about 10 times in a row every time it comes on. I have to admit I miss the days when movie posters had that painting style as you'll see on the soundtrack cover to the right.
I recently watched "Eyes Wide Shut" and I'm just loving this movie right now. I heard bad reviews over the years and really never looked into the movie until a few months back when my wife started watching it and said it was pretty good. We finally got around to watching the whole thing and it's so strange and mysterious that it really captured my imagination. The score has songs from a varied number of artists, but all very haunting and weird for the most part. My favorite two tracks are "Masked Ball" and "Migration". If you like this flick check this soundtrack out.
I'm really trying to get more soundtracks posted. Things have been so busy lately that my posts have been far and few between. I hope to fix that with posting two posts nearly a week apart. I have here the Golden Child soundtrack which is a nice mix of pop artists of the time and some score stuff. This was one of my favorite Eddie Murphy flicks as it was beyond the normal comedy stuff and had nice touch of the paranormal. My favorite track from this soundtrack is Ratt's "Body Talk" incase anyone cares.
Finally I have some posts on this damn blog! Today I have the soundtrack to the 80s comedy "hit" Teen Wolf. I think there are people who love the flick or just plain hate it. I'm on the love side of things for this one including the soundtrack. However to me the best tracks on here are from the original score composed by Miles Goodman. Those songs are absolutely fantastic. The rest of the soundtrack is 80s pop type stuff and if you are a fan of the movie you'll definitely dig them. This soundtrack was originally posted on the "Dusted Soundtracks" blog, which later became "
Today I have the score to the controversial film "White Dog". The music was composed by Ennio Morricone, who is very well known in the soundtrack world. He has scored some classic flicks over the years. This score is really one of my favorites lately. I never heard of the movie until a few months ago and was sadden to find out at the time it was unavailable in any format, but then a few months later it finally was relased by the Criterion Collection. Just strange luck on my part. The movie is definitely worth checking out if you haven't seen it yet. It was based on true events, which makes it all the more chilling and sad. If you are wondering how the music sounds check out the trailer below. That features a cue from the film. Enjoy!
