S/D - Hi, I used to be in a prog band, but it seems the times have changed and now I make "Bad film scores"

Mark Isham and Trevor Rabin immediately come to mind, any other culprits?

Jerry Bruckheimer flicks, or at least those inspired by his product seem to hire these guys a lot.

Stewart Copeland kinda counts?

I guess Mark Mothersbaugh doesn't count... or does he?

GOBLIN RULE YR ASS OK

(I think they're awesome.)

Goblin is the band from the Dario Argento movies?

Keith Emerson did one of those as well.

Dario Argento rocks. I like the way his movies seem like he spent 20 minutes on the script and a year on the lighting.

What about Danny Elfmann? Should JBR and I make our own "You Were Neu Wave and then you punked out to Hollywood" Thread?

Jan Hammer? Jazz fusion is sort of prog-like, no?

I'm surprised this thread has gone on so long with no one mentioning Vangelis!

Tangerine Dream did some scores too

Elfman has made some brilliant film scores.

― David Allen, Tuesday, 29 October 2002 03:25 (twenty-three years ago)

Okay.. can I flip-flop the question? Patrick Moraz made an excellent film score (for Alain Tanner's "La Salamandre", 1971) and then went on to be associated with YES and other things proggy. I liked the soundtrack so much that I recorded all the music off of a rented videotape and created my own private bootleg "La Salamandre" soundtrack.

pink floyd?

The elephant in the room is P Gabriel

― dave q, Tuesday, 29 October 2002 07:57 (twenty-three years ago)

Not just Gabriel, you could say that all of the 'standard' members of Genesis count for this one. Aside from the obvious ones like Passion and Birdy + Phil's Disney crap - Phil, Pete and Mike were all on the Against All Odds Soundtrack, and if I remember correctly Tony Banks did a lot of the score for that 80's Kevin Bacon movie called Quicksilver. I know I shouldn't know this, it's an osmosis thing.

I was a GRebo and now I do films: step forward Clint Mansell.

The Goblin score to Suspiria is fantastic.

― sundar subramanian, Tuesday, 29 October 2002 19:17 (twenty-three years ago)

here's yet another: Graeme Revell, formerly of SPK/Surgical Penis Klinik.

I just watched the Suspiria DVD bonus disc of interviews with Goblin, etc. I will pay good money for a "pop-up" cover copy of the LP.

I liked Goblin's Dawn of the Dead score.
