Alan Silvestri - The Mack OST 1983 Front Cover Art
В 1983 создатели культового Мака решили вновь срубить бабла и выпустили фильм на ВХС с измененым названием The Mack And His Pack и новым саундтрэком. Лицензию на оригинальный мотауновский саундтрэк Уилли Хатча выкупить не удалось и они предложили написать саундтрэк молодому, и тогда ещё малоизвестному композитору Алану Силвестри.
Альбом не настолько зарубный как оригинал Уилли Хатча, и это понятно Alan Silvestri всё таки композитор несколько другого плана, но тоже имеет свои забойные темы:
Cruisin & Planetarium – хорошие фанковые мелодии, правда с диско налетом 80-х
Play Ball – отличный лаконичный трэк в лучших традициях 70-х
Party Time – вокальный трэк – фанковое диско
Kill Fats – отличный грувовый chasing трэк
Slim – звучная пимп-тема
Пожалуй последний оригинальный blaxploitation саундтрэк.
Alternative Soundtrack for the Cult Blaxploitation Movie “The Mack”, issued specially for the video-release. In 1983, when the movie was to be reissued by a relatively cheap video product supplier, the Willie Hutch score didnt fit in their budget and was too expensive to use (at that time, major motion picture companies were finding out they had to renegotiate a lot of contracts for the video world as video was not very easily foreseen). They hired Alan Silvestri, starving young composer to do a new soundtrack (Chips had been cancelled, his main income for years, and he found he could not get work). So there are two mack soundtracks, entirely different, one Hutch’s, the other Silvestri’s.
The music, by Alan Silvestri, has a tight 1980s sound and is reminiscent of Three Days Of The Condor in places. The vocal tracks feature the great Gene McDaniels (of ultra-rare funk LP classic ‘Headless Heroes Of The Apocalypse’ fame). The whole album is tight, funky and sparse in sound; slap bass, soprano sax and toppy guitar predominate. Absolutely at the opposite end of the funk spectrum from the original Willie Hutch score. Check out ‘Party Time’ and ‘Here Today’.
