Jerry Goldsmith was such a legend. Every time I try to think of all of his great scores, I miss 2 or 3 of them, because he has sooo many. RIP Jerry you are sorely missed!
I'm a child of the 80's and when I recall the films with my favourite soundtracks, invariably they come from around this period. The orchestral pieces just add an extra dimension that I think is missing from the majority of modern films. Looking back, films (not particularly known for their soundtracks) such as Predator, Alien, Ghostbusters, Star Trek movies, Robocop (a B-movie), Batman, simply would not be the same without them.
Innerspace was & still is, to this day, one of my most favorite movies & the soundtrack was also quite awesome itself! I tell people about Innerspace & they go, "Huh?!? What is that movie?" Sometimes people just don't know an excellent movie! But WastedPo, you do! Thanks for uploading this!
Thanks so much for posting this. I used to own this score, and the track "Environmental Adjust" always stuck with me, because how often do you hear eerie orchestrations built around a ubiquitous heart beat sound. While not one of my favorites by Goldsmith, there were some very memorable cues from this score.
Oh my god yes!!! This is how Ive felt when wanting to tell people about this movie! I loved it so much throughout my whole childhood and I still love it today! Its one of the few films I've lost count how many times I've watched it... I'm obsessed with this movie
@TheGrumpstein - I agree, it does sound great. One of the things I enjoy about Goldsmith is how he would experiment with irregular beats/rhythms, and the "heart beat" sound was no exception, how it carries the song and yet doesn't completely sync with the song. Similar to what Goldsmith does with "Preparations" in Rambo III, where he's got a bunch of percussion instruments all sort of playing in their own way, that don't sync with each other, and yet it sounds incredible.
Thanks for posting this! I remember seeing this as a kid and seeing this as absolutely extraordinary (beyond the fantastic story and FX) but realizing it was quite different in some strange way. It wasn't until I was older that I realized it was Jerry Goldsmith's score that blasted it into a new and unique level. The shrinking sequence was profound and the mini-pods battle was palpable and intense, but also whimsical (some borrowing from Star Trek TMP). So good. PS Mr Igoe=Bennett from Commando
I absolutely love the films of the 80's. I dont think its all nostalgia...I genuinely think the stories were better and deeper. There was less reliance on special effects to carry dialogue. I also think music...the big orchestrations fused with some well placed synthesizer were amazing. I feel priviliged to have seen many of these films (including this one) at the cinema...with my dad and my brother. I was only about 8 back then...but I fondly remember the moments.
This is great to hear finally! We could live off just the movies scored by Goldsmith, Williams and (Thomas Newman) State of the Art is a timeless wonder. Let's bring this Motion Picture back in 3D Imax, just to see how people react to real story, comedy AND special effects! Zero Defects.
I seem to recall reading, somewhere, that Innerspace's score began as his bid for doing the "Right Stuff" soundtrack... but that it was rejected. So he retooled the basic themes and.... presto!
@reformedfruit On the bootleg version of the soundtrack the heartbeat is actually in the score. On this version (which I guess is official?) it's missing the sound effect but overall much better quality.
@stephenry2 I agree. I miss this kind of score. Now It seems every composer is a Hans Zimmer wannabe and it's hard to find some epic orchestral sounds like this... :(

Have you seen Chappie ? Like RoboCop but slightly not like it at same time
I agree with everything you said save for one thing, Robocop is not a B movie by any means.
Robocop is not a B movie.. But I agree with your statement 100%.
Capricorn 1.
The Omen 1&2
Ransom (1975)
The Mummy.
Just too many to mention... hundreds from Movies and TV.
Legend.
RIP.
amazing music. timeless. effortless. perfect.
great film from my childhood.
thanks for the video.
Good to hear this again...I used to have the whole score and then my hard drive blew. Hopefully some day I'll have it back again.
Try the Lala land cd.

One of my all-time favorite movies ever. And I just love the soundtrack for it.

you've excellent taste in music,as morricone once said 'there was only one composer that frightened us and that was jerry goldsmith'
‘Don’t worry…..Tuck will give me the strength of 10 men!’

"Mr. Igoe, stop him. We need that syringe."

He just had a sound that made movies better

Jerry Goldsmith's active and fascinating optimistic music for this film is some of his better efforts of his entire output.
Awesome, moving soundtrack that never got proper recognition.

Starting at 6:06 is just brilliant.
How is it that this music has a way of speaking to you and making you feel like you can do anything?
It's amazing. It transforms what is essentially just a silly comedy into something grand and magical.
@@WastedPo It certainly is magical!
@@Twister6424Listen Hoosiers by Jerry, nominated in 1986 for that work!

"Are you alright?". "Would I be in a doctors office if I was alright?!".
I'M POSSESSED!
@12daltonlieb123. Lalalandrecords was selling a limited edition.
This soundtrack was initially rejected for The Right Stuff, so Goldsmith just kept it for a future film: Innerspace.
where did you hear about that?
4:09
6:11
9:48
"I'm in a man. I'll be a son of a bitch I'm in a strange man, surrounded by strangers in a strange room!"
