Editorial Review: Product Description: "Schifrin's inimitable main theme kicks off the album proper, in its edgier, darker film arrangement." -- Film Score Monthly "This new, sparklingly clear performance of arguably the best jazz-based film score of the '60s, Lalo Schifrin's music shines as never before, revealing the original issue recording." -- Soundtrack magazine * The soundtrack to Bullitt is arguably the best jazz-based film score of the '60s. * New digital recording of one of Schifrin's most acclaimed scores. All the original cues are here, including the famous car chase, plus additional cues never before released. * Selected by Film Score Monthly as one of the 101 Great Film Scores on CD. * Selected by Jazziz critics as one of 2001's Best Albums of the Year. * The coolness of this score underlines the coolness of Steve McQueen!

 Rating:  - Nifty soundtrack for a great filmThis CD has the film's movie version, complete with heavy bass lines and its edgy, driving tempo, but even if the tracks here are not the original as heard in the movie, the CD is no less interesting and enjoyable. "Shifting Gears" is perhaps the best cut here because the cue covers the film's best scene that begins on the hilly San Francisco streets and finishes on a highway with dramatic cutting back and forth involving Steve McQueen and the bad guys. Also, the film shows a band during a live performance ... Read More Rating: - BULLITT IS STILL BADASSI had the rare opportunity to meet Lalo Schifrin while I worked at Borders. I have always been a huge fan. Let's face it: Lalo made guys like Eastwood and McQueen cool and they just don't write 'em like this anymore. This cd is so cool that when I first met actor Michael Madsen, the ultimate badass, he borrowed it and never gave it back... Michael knows a cool thing when he hears or sees it, so I bought another copy for myself. Great Liner notes included. I see that some reviewers complained about this ... Read More Rating: - classicThe only question I have when listening to and writting about Lalo Schafrin is, can I sing his praises loud enough? Wonder why? Just check out this Bullit Score. In 1968, many composers--good ones, like Stanley Myers on No Way To Treat A Lady--were still using easy listening music in films. Not Master Schafrin. He had already done a fantastic country blues score for Cool Hand Luke, that was an geniune, real taste of the genre; not, as many soundtracks then were, a charactature of the ...

It's at best a score recording, and the packaging dosen't even claim that. It's not the original 1968 album, which I wore out 20 years ago and need to replace. It was recorded in 2000 by a German big band. This is a hideous work and I can only hope to find a cassette version of the 1968 version so I can at last have a scratch free copy again. Rating: - Wrong CDI truly wanted the movie and not the CD, can you tell me how to return it? |
