DARK OF THE SUN
Jacques LOUSSIER
- Ref. YD1560
- SILVER AGE, 2007. Enregistrement 1968.
Film anglais de 1968.
"Loussier's Dark of the Sun soundtrack matches the offbeat melodic invention of Ennio Morricone and the brassy inflections of John Barry's James Bond scores while remaining the very personal work of its composer. The main theme consists of three layered ideas: a plucked pulse, a jazzy, syncopated bass line for piano and harpsichord, and a distinctly European minor-mode melody often voiced by strings. The score expresses the tragedy and subtext behind the violence of the on-screen images, while acknowledging the action explicitly in several jazzy action cues. The Dark of the Sun soundtrack somewhat defies description except that it abounds with the kind of invention and melody that marked 1960s film scoring (such as that of Barry, Schifrin, Legrand, Goldsmith, Morricone and others) and has long been a favorite of soundtrack collectors. Loussier never again scored this kind of mainstream adventure film but he provided a winner in this premiere effort." (www.moviegrooves.com)
