1976年影片《Silver Streak》原声。by Jason AnkenyHenry Mancini pulls out all the stops for the 1976 caper comedy Silver Streak. By turns lighthearted, romantic, and suspenseful, it is in many respects the quintessential Mancini score, with each cue bearing his unmistakable stamp. Embracing elements of bossa nova, small-combo jazz, and romantic balladry, the music recalls past Mancini classics like Breakfast at Tiffany's and The Pink Panther but still feels new and original. Themes like"Club Car Rock" and"Scenic Route" count among the composer's most daring jazz cues, while"Something for Jill" incorporates the bicentennial vogue for electric funk in an otherwise vintage easy listening setting. But it's the action cues that command the most attention. The climactic"Runaway Train" is just as gripping as its title portends. Intrada's limited-edition 2002 release assembles the complete mono score as well as surviving stereo fragments. Insightful liner notes round out a must-own package.
