Track of the Week: "The Dream" by Jerry Goldsmith, from Total Recall
I first heard the title theme to Total Recall on a compilation album conducted by the famous Erich Kunzel, and listened to it so often that by the time I got around to getting the original recording of the soundtrack, the opening track sounded downright sluggish (Kunzel conducted the re-recording a bit faster than the original)! Regardless, Goldsmith's main theme is a powerhouse of a cue, tickling my like of the bombastic. In addition, I think Jerry Goldsmith is the only one who can get away with using synth in a score and not make it feel dated, at least to my ears.
