The Goldsmith OdysseyBonus Soundtrack Spotlight - The War of the Worlds (1953) / When Worlds Collide (1951) with Chris Malone and John TakisWe know what you're thinking: why is The Goldsmith Odyssey covering Leith Stevens? Well, for one thing, War of the Worlds (1953) is a personal favorite film and score of Odyssey co-host and editor W. David Lichty. For another, it's a good excuse to spend time with friends of the show Chris Malone (who co-produced the new expanded album for La-La Land) and John Takis (who wrote the liner notes), both of whom once again have marvelous musical insights to offer. And for more reasons, just listen to the show itself, in which you'll hear discussion of where this score s...2023-11-162h 14

The group was joined by noted...2022-10-062h 59
