The Goldsmith Odyssey
Odyssey Soundtrack Spotlight - The Secret of NIMH (1982) with Roger Feigelson, Jeff Bond, and Chris Malone
With the aid of their magic amulet, the good folks at Intrada Records have finally located the missing pieces of Jerry Goldsmith’s score for the 1982 animated film The Secret of NIMH. In this new Soundtrack Spotlight, mastering engineer Chris Malone, liner notes writer Jeff Bond, and Intrada's own Roger Feigelson join your humble hosts Jens, Yavar, David, and Clark for an examination of the definitive new presentation of this extraordinary work. You'll hear conversation about why this score sounds richer than ever, what the handful of new cues add to the listening experience, this score's significance within Goldsmith's larger body of work, and much more. As always, you'll hear plenty of illustrative excerpts from the new album along the way. Remember: you can unlock any door if you only have the key, and you can listen to this podcast if you only click the play button.
Here's the track list!
