Hit: 5 Stars
I am a devoted Jerry Goldsmith fan, so I have listened to most of his work. "Under Fire" is truly one of his best movie scores, which is saying a lot being that he is the greatest film composer. I highly recommend this masterpiece to anyone who loves inspiring, lush, and romantic music.
Soundtrack Poster
Goldsmith's masterful score combines several seemingly disparate elements: full orchestra, cutting-edge (at the time) synthesizers, guitar solos by the esteemed Pat Metheny, and pan pipes (actually commercial PVC piping cut to Goldsmith's specifications). The pan pipes for the indigenous peasant uprising were a bit of artistic license in that the instrument is actually native to the South American Andes, not Nicaragua. (When someone pointed this out to Goldsmith years later, he kidded, "Yes, I know that, and where have you been all these years?") Although the record does leave off some notable cues-such as the brief, low-key main title and the equivalent film version of "Bajo Fuego," no masters could be located anywhere, not even in archival sound, to expand the album. (We hope collectors don't "revolt"-ha ha.) This release features the U.S. CD debut of Goldsmith's outstanding Under Fire soundtrack album so as to put this superlative work back into circulation at an affordable price. (Existing CDs from Warner Bros. Records in Japan and Germany fetch import prices at best.) The two-track 1/2" album masters have been newly mastered for this edition, and definitive liner notes are provided by Jeff Bond and Al Kaplan featuring archival interview comments by Goldsmith, new remarks by engineer Botnick, and a breakdown of all the film cues combined for the album tracks.
