This Soundtrack with Not Disappoint..... (5 stars)
In reading the other reviews, I can see their point. The sax is a bit shrill at times and there may be a rif here and there that I don't remember being in the movie. But I chalk that up to the fact that sometimes not entire pieces of music are played during the film. I am blown away by this re-recording. I heard the entire movie as it is playing out and it totally brings it back to me. I, of course, own the movie and plan on watching it soon to check. But I'm very happy with this soundtrack and do have many soundtracks. This one is one of the best. |  | | | ASTOUNDING (5 stars)
I am blown away! This score is astounding, all the way through, every track! It is a rich, catharsis experience for me. I didn't know it was possible for a human to compose such an exquisite masterpiece! I am giving an extra copy to a romantic friend who is going away on a long trip to remember me by. | | | | Close, But No Cigar... (Maybe a Cigarette, Actually) (4 stars)
John Barry's pristine rendition of this classic soundtrack was released on vinyl via indie label Southern Cross Records, back in the early Eighties. (Good luck finding THAT version.) Sadly, it has never been re-released in any format, let alone CD. So here's Joel McNeely's version with the LSO on Varese Sarabande, and you know what? You could do MUCH, much worse. Though slightly different in tempo and texture, you can almost feel the Florida humidity flushing your skin, squeezing out so much moisture that you have to strip down to whatever is legally allowed...and beyond...just like Ned and Mattie...
Until the actual soundtrack is found, remastered and once again loosed upon the world, this will do in a pinch, slap and tickle...Even purists will hit "play" and have to admit that Lawrence Kasdan's post-noir vibe comes to throbbing life in every groove. | | | | A good performance of a sexy film score (4 stars)
The producers of the Varese Sarabande Film Classics series should be thanked for giving us a fine recording of John Barry's score for the film "Body Heat," one of the sexiest ever written. This CD by Joel McNeely and the London Symphony Orchestra, though not labeled original sound track, appears to follow the composer's original work. The performance and the sound quality live up to the music, which makes excellent use of a small orchestra, particularly the saxophone. You can find an even sexier re-orchestrated version of the main title on the compact disk "Moviola," a collection of John Barry's film scores conducted by the composer.
Michael Michaud, Vienna, Austria | | | | Sultry, Supreme Score (5 stars)
After listening to this very noir score by John Barry from the noir film Body Heat, the mood is so overpowering that you want to run and grab a cold drink, and, perhaps, run the cold glass across your forehead. That's how effectively Barry captures the heat, the emotion, the feel of the film. This is certainly a case where the film itself and the score are equal partners in conveying that emotion. | | | |
