Synopsis

Album Description
This limited edition release of the original soundtrack recording to Invasion of the Body Snatchers is its world-premiere on CD. The 1978 remake of the classic 1950s sci-fi shocker was directed by Philip Kaufman (The Right Stuff / Quills) and starred Donald Sutherland and Leonard Nimoy. Other cast included: Brooke Adams (The Dead Zone), Jeff Goldblum (The Fly / Independence Day) and Veronica Cartwright (Alien / Witches of Eastwick). The original score was composed by Denny Zeitlin. Jazzy, innovative, experimental and unforgettable. This remains the only film score from the composer. The booklet features extensive liner notes by film music journalist Paul Tonks, with reminiscences from the composer, while the album itself contains a 30 minute audio interview with Zeitlin.
 

CD Reviews

INVASION of the FIlm Scoe buffs
Jackie L. Holstein | MPLS, MN | 11/20/2004
(5 out of 5 stars)

"I felt like I had been wishing for a CD release of this film score ever since I had first seen this film for the first time ever on DVD. The score is very 1970's cool. This may sound as if I find it "tacky" this is not the case. It is a chilling film score that gives this film a real heartbeat. Any film score buff should run to buy this cd not only for the score but the interviews also. They are very informative and entertaining. Denny Zeitlin's one and so far only film score is a triumph for films of this genre. This CD does not contain the Jerry Garcia banjo cues - Film buffs of this film know that the late Mr Garcia laid down a few cues that were used for the in film as a favor to the director. These are dubbed for the homeless banjo player within the film. This is a rare jewel in my film score CD collection. I highly recommend this CD. JackDVD@aol.com"
