Soylent Green (1973) / music by Fred Myrow

As promised, here is the score to the classic Charlton Heston flick (by the same composer who did the score for Phantasm, as if you didnt know).

The film was a 4:30 (afternoon) movie perennial, as were Heston's other early 70s sci-fi flicks (The Omega Man; the two Apes films Heston was in), so, even 28+ years after I first watched these flicks, I wont say anything bad about any of 'em, and I wont listen to anyone dissing Heston (and that even includes Airport 1975 and Earthquake). These were my first steps into sci-fi during my pre-teen years, and, as such, scenes Heston driving around a deserted Los Angeles in Omega Man, or the giant scoop loaders spooning up gaggles of people in Soylent Green, are just indelible images that fed my imagination and pointed me to the genre (first to the source novels for each of these films and just going from there). Oh yeah, and even at that early age, I enjoyed the inherent camp value of Heston's exaggerated macho.

Like the score for Demon Seed, this score for Soylent Green is not your ordinary score; musical passages (jazzy or symphonic classical) are often overtaken by passages of discordant notes/sounds. These scores for Demon Seed and Soylent Green are required un-easy listening.
