Alright, Internet fans. Someone get out there > >and research who worked on the soundtrack > > Wasn't it Tangerine Dream??? There were two different film soundtracks. One, for the European version, an orchestral score by Jerry Goldsmith. The other, the US version (conceived to make it more appealing to children of the 80's who grew up on John Hughes films) was an electronic score by Tangerine Dream, with two other songs: one TD song w/ vocals by Jon Anderson, and Is Your Love Strong Enough?. - --Don - -- Don Becker becker@panther.adelphi.edu Unix System Administrator, Adelphi University http://www.adelphi.edu/~becker "Deep down inside we're all one and the same" --Marillion, "The Last Straw" ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 26 Mar 1998 00:09:51 +0100 From: Bahi Para Subject: Re: [AVALON] Re:Is Your Love Strong Enough Warren Loveridge wrote: >[Is Your Love Strong Enough?] isn't on [Bete Noire]. >Does it date from the same period? I'd love to know more. It was released in March 86, about 18 months before Bete Noire. It was one of the last things recorded for EG before Ferry left in a huff for Virgin. Gilmour appears in the video, which Ridley Scott was involved with, and there's an excellent 7 minute verson on vinyl and on some CD singles - lots more DG on it. As Arnie mentioned, the song was comissioned as the theme for Scott's film "Legend". >Gilmour recorded quite a bit of guitar for Bete Noire >(does anyone know which tracks, please?) Sounds like him (or Chester Kamen) on "Limbo", though the solo's longer on some of the remixes. Could be him (er...or Chester Kamen) towards the end of "Seven Deadly Sins". Could it be Dave Gilmour playing lead on Sensation and parts of Slave to Love (with Knopfler) on Boys & Girls? Almost definitely him on Windswept though it sounds like Knopfler playing lead on "Valentine". Some of these songs seem to have 5 or 6 guitar tracks each and all these guesses could be wrong... Anyone know who played lead guitar on "Help Me"? It was recorded around the same time as Strong Enough, for "The Fly". Having only heard rhythm guitar from Nile Rodgers, who produced the song, I've always thought it was someone else playing. ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 25 Mar 1998 19:31:19 -0600 From: Will Subject: [AVALON] Ferry screen saver should be fixed My friend wildone assures me that he fixed the screen saver if you want it. http://www.execpc.com/~wildone/html/free_stuff_page_2.html Will ------------------------------ End of avalon-digest V3 #72 *************************** ======================================================================== Please send any questions or comments about the list to avalon-digest-owner@smoe.org
