I have talked about the great Jerry Goldsmith many times but here’s something I didn’t discuss yet: he was able to mix the synthesiser with the “old-fashioned” orchestra in such a way that you can’t distinguish the two.
He did that very successfully in this score, “Sleeping with the Enemy”, and in the Sharon Stone movie “Basic Instinct”, that other thriller from the early nineties.
I’m betting that most people who listen to the music simply don’t notice the role of the synthesisers. That’s because he succeeded in creating a warm electronic sound.
Quite a feat when you consider how cold electronic music can be. (The booklet speaks of “adroit electronics”.)
This is another expanded collector’s item published by La-la Land Records.
