Favorite Movie/Television/Animation Incidental Music

Oh, and another favorite score is for a late 70's B-movie called Barracuda. Some of you will recognize it as excerpts from Klaus Schulze's classic album album X:



I still wonder which came first: the album or the film score?

Here's the creepy musical ambience when Kolchak prowls around a junkyard, as if it weren't creepy enough for him to climb over a sleeping zombie (starting at 41:34):

Bernard Hermann and Carl Stalling, excellent choices. The Stalling collection is mind blowing listening to those guys rip that stuff out on a dime, very cool.
I LOVE the old western scores as well. Bernstein, Magnificent 7, and who can overlook John Barry.

One of my all time faves is Raymond Scott. If not for him, Stalling may not have made such a name for himself: "In 1943 Scott sold his music publishing to Warner Bros., who allowed Carl Stalling, music director for Looney Tunes and Merrie Melodies, to adapt anything in the Warner music catalog."

His Quintette is AMAZING! http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Raymond_Scott

The strange thing about Kolchak was the theme music. It starts off as this upbeat, mellow music, something like The Waltons or Little House On The Prairie, but after a bit morphs into this appropriately sinister sounding thing. I always thought that was an interesting choice.

Probably my all-time favorite opening title sequence, amazing editing AND great Lalo Schifrin music!

Lalo and Bullitt--fantastic!

For a curveball from the same era, there's Richard Rodney Bennett, the Ondes Martenot, and Billion Dollar Brain:

One of my favorite anime composers is Kajiura Yuki. Sometimes her work is a meld of flamenco, celtic, opera & techno/electronica.
