SOLD! For the ridiculous title alone.

the only one i own is Rock Requiem and it's a pretty rad album. vocal choirs, heavy drums. very reminiscent of an Axlerod album. a little weirder maybe. the wife grew up catholic and says it's weird listening to this album because she recognizes a bunch of songs from church.

i've got the kelly's heroes theme on 45 and it kicks so much ass.

there is always something unbelievably cool on one of his soundtracks. enter the dragon, mannix, mission impossible, bullit, dirty harry, etc. so powerful and rockin'. and fun!

i know dmr has Gypsies. if i remember the clips i heard from his site, they're fusion disco. sounded kinda cool

hahaha, i just did something that i never do. i wanted to hear that Dot album above while i was on the computer so i just downloaded it off of a blog. sounds great!

those blogs, they got everything. i predict they will be big someday.

schirfin's soundtrack MAKES the scenes where the psycho hippie is stalking his victims. so creepy.

yeah it's good! probably not the place to start if you want kick-ass dirty harry joints but it's nice spacey / Vangelis-y type stuff

Thx gz. Mr plz.

i would trade five decent morricone soundtracks for one MaNNiX.

Warning: Live Blueberries (the drop is sooo doooppee)

Mannix out on CD at Dusty Groove, no?

Che is mostly zzzzzz or >_< (ugh piercing flute), but there are a couple of fire tracks. I'll burn em for ya if ya want

Curiously I found Che at the library already, but thx.

just picked up an LP called Sudden Impact... and of the best of Dirty Harry! and it's fucking ridiculous. funky drums and weird sound effects. every soundtrack collectors wet dream

this album is so fuckin' funky and amazing that it hurts:

even lalo's version of the jaws theme is genius.

I'm really fond of his soundtrack to Carlos Suara's Tango:

Some of it is probably traditional pieces, but "Tango Bárbaro", "La Represión", & "Tango para Percusión" due pull his soundtrack sound into the genre.

I got the Sol Madrid soundtrack yesterday (one of these £7 vinyl repressings of 60s jazz/soul/funk/OSTs that zavvi are flogging at the moment).

I'd never heard of the movie before, let alone that Schifrin had done the soundtrack.

It's no Kelly's Heroes or Dirty Harry but there are a few nice cuts on there.

At his best I like him much better than Morricone.

The Mission: Impossible theme is one of those things that you almost know the parodies or references more than the actual music itself and then you hear it again and it knocks you sideways. So much going on in that in under a minute!

RIP... The soundtrack to Dirty Harry is probably my all-time favorite movie music.

Scorpio's View - Lalo Schifrin - Dirty Harry Soundtrack

Schifrin is one of those guys I have not gone back and did much deep listening now that it is much easier to find the music and stream it.

Those Dirty Harry soundtracks were really hard to find for years, I had a CDR boot made from guy at a record store back in the late 90s. Few years back I got a CD of the first two Mission Impossible comps and the Dirty Harry and Magnum Force soundtracks as they came back into print.

I've always been curious about his jazz records including those he did for CTI in the 70s. I guess they are probably out there to stream now maybe.

So much music so little time...

The bassline and orchestration that wrecked a generation (in the best way):
