Now to the scores. Its nice to see full use of Paul Ferris's "Main Titles" while the menu is playing. The "Main Titles" actually loops about 6 times during the Image Gallery feature, which is a shame as it would have been nice to hear more of the score.
After hearing the "Main Title" so many times now I realise how weak certain elements of the Silva Screen re-recordings are on the "Horror" CD. Sure, the "Pastoral/Romanza" sounds beautiful in Dolby Surround but the opening discordant muted brass stabs of the "Main Title" sound too quiet and weak compared to the original. The original motifs are loud/punchy and very much in-your-face, which just adds to the harsh discordancy that is needed to illustrate the cruelty of Matthew Hopkins.

On the "Doomwatch" menu we are treated to the beautiful pastoral-type strains of John Scott's "Main Title". It was a lovely surprise to see that the score was by John Scott before I bought it and it was the final detail that convinced me to buy the movie as I couldn't remember much about the film itself. Well, its British, its a kind of Horror film, it has Ian Bannen and Judy Geeson in it, it was originally a T.V. series on the BBC (alla Quatermass) and its from the early 70's.......in my eyes it must be good!!
