The last time Intrada released Jerry Goldsmith's Explorers on CD, 3000 copies sold out in a matter of hours. At long last, that enchanting score is back in print, and you'll hear all about it in this very special Soundtrack Spotlight. Your humble hosts David, Yavar, and Clark are joined by a marvelous panel: director Joe Dante, editor Marshall Harvey (who didn't work on Explorers, but counts himself as an admirer of the film and score), album cover artist Stéphane Coëdel, and Intrada Co-CEOs Roger Feigelson and Jeff Johnson. You'll hear about Dante's complex relationship with the film, his deep admiration for Goldsmith's music, the critical role this score played in finishing an unfinished film (and in changing Intrada's business model), the fascinating alternate cues that justified a second disc, Stéphane's design process for the album's two covers, and so much more. This one's loaded with both fascinating insights and marvelous excerpts from the album, so hit play… and have a nice trip!
