One of my favorites movies of all time. Very surprised it hasn't been remade. I am not for redoing Classics, and to me this is a Classic however, apparently Hollywood doesn't agree with that. Call Me, Snake
If adventure has a name…it must be "Indiana Jones"! My younger brother and I saw this at the theater at least 40 times, if not more. We listened to the soundtrack just as much. It was almost like seeing the movie. We knew exactly which scene each track was associated with. We loved that film and the iconic music. We grew fond of this track, which is NOT the main theme.
I cannot recall where I was, I think it was during a dusk till dawn Mental Al session at the drive in, I remember seeing the trailer for American Gigolo. Wha? Wait a sec...I think I know that melody, it's a weird version of Call Me from Blondie, and no vocals. First introduction to "Instrumental Version". I remember borrowing this album from the library. It took a little convincing, I was still living at home and Pops didn't know "what your mom would think coming home with music from a movie about a man that gets paid to have sex with different women". needle scratch - jaw drop. Huh? That's a thing? - O my sheltered life. I got the okay, Pops hardly ever said no... I put it on and this was different from Soundtracks like 1941, or Superman, or Star Wars... kinda like Saturday Day Night Fever with a disco, A keyboard instrumental of Call Me but called Night Drive..whatever I dug it... The one thing I do remember was on a similar track, Those Haunting Church Bells over what sounded like a Suite Madam Blue melody...very cool.
We heard the hype and the rumors and all the news on these solo albums from KISS, and I bought each and every one of them. I'm a huge KISS fan. Well I was...Gene $immons tarnished that for me with his relentless marketing schemes. To his credit, he will never have to go hungry.
Enuff...
Ace, the spaceman, probably the least favorable vocal of the four. The 'hit' Back In the New York Groove...a little overplayed during the release of the solo albums. For me there was a shining spot on this release.
A simple instrumental, that stood out from the rest of the blather on this album. I love the shrieking keyboards midway through the song.
We listened to many many things including Soundtracks
My younger brother's musical taste is so vast and a sponge. He loves Symphonic Soundtracks, and we listened to this when it came out. Steven Spielberg & John Williams, 'nuff said.
John Williams was a name when it came to epic movie Soundtracks. Here's the March From 1941
