In Don Jones' 1982 cannibal slasher The Forest, we get a winning score that fuses together all kinds of ideas, kicking off with \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003ea main title that's anchored with a horn melody right out of a Chuck Mangione playbook. The score plays a substantial role in the film, oscillating between wistful melodies and menacing dissonance, and nearly finding the right balance. While Dick Hieronymus gets top billing here he's largely responsible for the jazzy pop beats. Alan Oldfield contributes the bulk of the eerie underscore and seems to have had a ball bending notes on the keyboard. What results is a real clash of styles between early '80s synth horror and, say, Carol Browning's syrupy take on Hieronymus's \"Edge of Forever\" theme, but the unusual mash-up means you're never bored. How many scores contain tracks like \"Jazz Fight?\" 'Nuff said. -Jeff Szpirglas\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTRACK LIST:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eA1\u003cspan class=\"Apple-tab-span\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eRichard Hieronymus–\u003cspan class=\"Apple-tab-span\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eThe Forest (Main Title)\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eA2\u003cspan class=\"Apple-tab-span\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eAlan Oldfield–\u003cspan class=\"Apple-tab-span\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eThe Killer Stalks The Couple\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eA3\u003cspan class=\"Apple-tab-span\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eRichard Hieronymus–\u003cspan class=\"Apple-tab-span\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eThe Edge Of Forever (Instr.)\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eA4\u003cspan class=\"Apple-tab-span\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eRichard Hieronymus–\u003cspan class=\"Apple-tab-span\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eIt’s A Mystery\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eA5\u003cspan class=\"Apple-tab-span\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eTami Stevens–\u003cspan class=\"Apple-tab-span\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eI’m Coming On Strong\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eA6\u003cspan class=\"Apple-tab-span\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eRichard Hieronymus–\u003cspan class=\"Apple-tab-span\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eThe Girls Arrive\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eA7\u003cspan class=\"Apple-tab-span\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eRichard Hieronymus–\u003cspan class=\"Apple-tab-span\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eThe Dark Side Of The Forest (Instr.)\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eA8\u003cspan class=\"Apple-tab-span\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eRichard Hieronymus–\u003cspan class=\"Apple-tab-span\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eThe Forest (Reprise)\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eA9\u003cspan class=\"Apple-tab-span\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eDavid Somerville–\u003cspan class=\"Apple-tab-span\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eThe Dark Side Of The Forest\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eA10\u003cspan class=\"Apple-tab-span\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eAlan Oldfield–\u003cspan class=\"Apple-tab-span\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eThe Ghost Mother Appears\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eA11\u003cspan class=\"Apple-tab-span\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eAlan Oldfield–\u003cspan class=\"Apple-tab-span\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eNowhere To Go\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eA12\u003cspan class=\"Apple-tab-span\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eAlan Oldfield–\u003cspan class=\"Apple-tab-span\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eThe Killer Stalks The Girls\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eB1\u003cspan class=\"Apple-tab-span\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eAlan Oldfield–\u003cspan class=\"Apple-tab-span\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eNight Campfire\/The Ghost Kids Appear\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eB2\u003cspan class=\"Apple-tab-span\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eAlan Oldfield–\u003cspan class=\"Apple-tab-span\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eSharon Escapes\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eB3\u003cspan class=\"Apple-tab-span\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eAlan Oldfield–\u003cspan class=\"Apple-tab-span\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eTerror In The Forest\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eB4\u003cspan class=\"Apple-tab-span\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eMichelle Hart–\u003cspan class=\"Apple-tab-span\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eYou’re My Special Kind Of Love\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eB5\u003cspan class=\"Apple-tab-span\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eAlan Oldfield–\u003cspan class=\"Apple-tab-span\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eJazz Fight\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eB6\u003cspan class=\"Apple-tab-span\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eAlan Oldfield–\u003cspan class=\"Apple-tab-span\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eThe Forest Suite 1\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eB7\u003cspan class=\"Apple-tab-span\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eAlan Oldfield–\u003cspan class=\"Apple-tab-span\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eThe Forest Suite 2\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eB8\u003cspan class=\"Apple-tab-span\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eAlan Oldfield–\u003cspan class=\"Apple-tab-span\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eThe Forest Suite 3\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eB9\u003cspan class=\"Apple-tab-span\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eCarol Browning –\u003cspan class=\"Apple-tab-span\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eThe Edge Of Forever\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"MYSTIC VAULT RECORDS","offers":[{"title":"LP","offer_id":67788274466915,"sku":"760137224174","price":34.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0278\/2553\/7123\/files\/image_b33f1dcf-1f6d-4434-9be3-00cbf9803d76.png?v=1792889989","url":"https:\/\/lunchboxrecords.com\/products\/760137224174","provider":"Lunchbox Records","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
