Well I've listened to this a bunch and I liked it right off the bat. And I've liked it more and more with each listen. Going back and reading what I wrote, it doesn't sound like I liked it, but I really truly did. It's a mood piece, and a period piece to boot. It definitely sounds like TV and Movie Music from the sixties, and I still stand behind my original words. There are gladiatorial sounding drums and horns, like in the Ben Hur score. There are jazz and bop elements like Bernstein's West Side Story score, which i believe was released on the big screen in the same year, although I could be wrong. There are lush strings and Disney style Choirs oohing and ahhing. Those some choir members are grunting along with tracks much like the western worlds caricature of cannibal natives would dictate them to.

I don't think this is a challenging listen as it's a pretty short album at just a hair over a half hour, and even though it's sonically dense, there's a good use of texture and dynamics to keep the sonic picture from being overwhelming. It's a well written score by a guy who made his living doing scores at a time when tv and movie scorewriting was at it's absolute peak, so clearly he knew what he was doing.

A great listen for what it is, I'm giving it
out of ten leis

Glad you liked it. I'm pretty fond of it myself. I've been pretty danged busy, but will review the album you slipped my way this weekend.
