which reminds me of another movie with a wonderful soundtrack, forbidden planet! louis and bebe barron!
That's one i've never seen. I probably should, real classic..
I like a lot of the early color ones.. what's great about movies from back then is that music is used much more carefully. Music isn't just blasting away nonstop like today's license-rich flicks, but it's rather well planned out and only used when actually needed. And sometimes just weird drones and delayed sounds and hums and things too. It's really charming to go watch one of these movies now and hear the perfect music shining through it's flawed recording, slightly out of tune, noisey, whatever.
Zardoz... maybe Original Planet of the Apes movies, good examples.. there are plenty more and better ones though that aren't coming to mind.
2001 was amazing though - more technology, more advanced production than some of that earlier stuff though. THX-1138 is king though as far as environmental audio and sound fx go. Really broke ground and changed the industry I suspect.
