In Don Jones' 1982 cannibal slasher The Forest, we get a winning score that fuses together all kinds of ideas, kicking off with a main title that's anchored with a horn melody right out of a Chuck Mangione playbook. The score plays a substantial role in the film, oscillating between wistful melodies and menacing dissonance, and nearly finding the right balance. While Dick Hieronymus gets top billing here he's largely responsible for the jazzy pop beats. Alan Oldfield contributes the bulk of the eerie underscore and seems to have had a ball bending notes on the keyboard. What results is a real clash of styles between early '80s synth horror and, say, Carol Browning's syrupy take on Hieronymus's \"Edge of Forever\" theme, but the unusual mash-up means you're never bored. How many scores contain tracks like \"Jazz Fight?\" 'Nuff said. -Jeff Szpirglas\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Forest (Main Title)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Killer Stalks The Couple\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Edge Of Forever (Instrumental)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIt's A Mystery\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eI'm Comin' On Strong\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Girls Arrive\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Dark Side Of The Forest (Instrumental)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Forest (Reprise)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Dark Side Of The Forest\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Ghost Mother Appears\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNowhere To Go\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Killer Stalks The Girls\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNight Campfire \/ The Ghost Kids Appear\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSharon Escapes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTerror In The Forest\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eYou're My Special Kind Of Love\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eJazz Fight\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Forest Suite 1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Forest Suite 2\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Forest Suite 3\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Edge Of Forever\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e","brand":"The Forest (Original Soundtrack)(180 Gram Splatter)","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47524724473945,"sku":null,"price":33.98,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1566\/5093\/files\/4540043-3722173.jpg?v=1792615904","url":"https:\/\/www.yellowdogdiscs.com\/products\/dick-hieronymus-alan-oldfield","provider":"Yellow Dog Discs","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
