In 1986, it was decided that the best way to go into both a third season and a new product line was by giving the action figures a major cinematic upgrade with The Transformers: The Movie. This Intrada CD marks the first generally available release of Vince DiCola's complete score. It has previously appeared on two quickly sold-out BotCon limited editions ("'Till All Are One" in 1997 and "Lighting Their Darkest Hour" in 2001).

The Transformers: The Movie has remained as rhythmically vibrant as ever for the franchise's numerous fans. Initially working from storyboards and a plot synopsis, DiCola won the filmmakers over with a six-minute demo cue called "Legacy" that laid the seeds for his score, included here as a bonus. With the aid of co-producer Ed Fruge, programmer Casey Young, percussionist Michael Fisher and other first-call session musicians, DiCola stuffed the Scotti Brothers recording studio with Moog, Oberheim, Yamaha and EMU synthesizers and samplers. While Rocky IV had afforded him an orchestra, the budget of The Transformers necessitated an electronic approach. DiCola truly fused progressive "arena rock" with alien technology to make The Transformers a stylistic whole, capturing the movie's 2005 setting with its brightly futuristic synth sound.

I think the many fans will enjoy it and far be it me to ever get in their way.The Transformers: The Movie (1986) presented keyboardist-turned-composer Vince DiCola with the challenge of taking the rhythmic genre he loved into a new, futuristic dimension, using the same daring synergy that the makers of The Transformers' TV show were using to broaden their brand name. Considering that the soundtrack album probably won\'t get released again, it would have been nice to have more.īut is it actually "good?" I don\'t think I\'ll ever know.

But there a lot more music to the score (we get about a third of the score) and there are plenty of limited releases circulating with fuller (or full scores). One theme is my favorite theme from the movie ("\'Unicron\' Medley" with the memorably creepy pulsing "breath" rhythm) along with two solid action cues ("Moon Base 2 - Shuttle Launch" and "Megatron Must Be Stopped (Parts I & II)"). Included in this release are three bonus tracks from DiCola and an alterative version of the theme. DiCola always had a good ear forĬatchy rock rhythms and synthesizer loops, and he augments it with some piano accompaniment, guitar and drum beats. I know more than a few people that have Rocky IV\'s "Training Montage" as a guilty pleasure in their play lists (myself included). Vince DiCola is the John Williams of cheesy 80\'s synth-rock scores and this is one of his greats. The other main selling point is the movie’s score. The rest of the pop tracks are a variation of tracks by Spectre General ("Nothin\'s Gonna Stand in Our Way" and "Hunger") and NRG ("Instruments of Destruction") which aren\'t particularly memorable.

"Weird" Al Yankovic contributes a fun track ("Dare to Be Stupid" from the same-titled album) that spitballs a series of clever lyrics about being stupid (ironically enough). The most famous of these tracks is Stan Bush\'s "The Touch." Now immortalized by Mark Wahlberg in Boogie Nights, "The Touch" is the epitome of driving 80\'s anthem rock and Bush\'s other track, "Dare" is similarly catchy and silly (with a really slick arrangement by Vince DiCola). It is the type of cheesiness that transcends silly to brilliant. Revisiting old haunts can be quite fun if there is a lot of Kitsch involved, and Transformers: The Movie has plenty of that. Lyrics were incredibly optimistic with hysterical metaphors (such as "riding the eye of the storm" and "You\'ve been put to the test, but it\'s never enough") that pile up like a traffic jam. This was the time of Pop-Metal music, with plenty of Def Leppard clones running around. By any objective stance, Transformers: The Movie is incredibly representative of that era of music. Nostalgia also blinds us to the actual quality of whatever it is we hold dear. Nostalgia tends to comfort us with childhood associations the opening guitar licks of Lion\'s "Transformers" cover and the shimmering metallic logo still sends a little thrill through me. A friend is making a killing on eBay right now selling old toys, people are actually getting excited about a Michael Bay movie and we have commemorative DVD and CD releases of the animated movie from twenty-one years ago. Transformer fever is firmly is upon us, and far be it me to stand in the way.
