{"product_id":"ken-thorne-collection-the-volume-1-cd","title":"Ken Thorne Collection, The: Volume 1 (CD)","description":"\u003cp\u003eDragon's Domain Records presents THE KEN THORNE COLLECTION, VOLUME 1, featuring music composed by Ken Thorne (A FUNNY THING HAPPENED ON THE WAY TO THE FORUM, JUGGERNAUT, HANNIE CAULDER) for two projects from his rich filmography, released for the very first time. Released in 1976, ASSAULT ON AGATHON tells the story of Interpol agent Cabot Cain (Nico Minardos), who has been recently assigned to stop the mysterious Agathon (George Moussou), an insurgent who is instigating a new revolution in Greece. The film makes the most of its spectacular Grecian scenery, allowing the composer many exciting musical opportunities. The film opens with an engaging main theme, a mix of strings, brass, and drums behind a provocative, rising woodwind melody, which is reprised several times in the score, along with a delicious love theme later on for strings and harpsichord and plenty of articulate action music. Released in 1978, POWER PLAY, also known as COUP D'ÉTAT, takes place in a fictional country beset by corrupt government, terrorism and martial law, where a small group of military officers (Peter O'Toole, David Hemmings, Donald Pleasence) decide that they must overthrow the current administration. But the coup's leader worries that there is a spy in their group and ultimately it is revealed that he's not wrong. Based on a 1968 non-fiction book, COUP D'ÉTAT: A PRACTICAL HANDBOOK, it won Best Screenplay at the Canadian Film Awards. Not all of the score's tracks have survived (including the main title), but we feel the 17 tracks that have remained offer a sufficient example of the composer's music for this film. POWER PLAY is primarily a suspense score full of tension and brooding, which Thorne offers through effective orchestration and textural interaction but there are also opportunities for a poignant melody for guitar and strings over keyboard presented underneath a eulogy and also some great moments of action\/suspense writing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTrack Listing\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003ctable width=\"\" border=\"0\"\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eKen Thorne - Assault on Agathon: Opening Credits\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eKen Thorne - Car Chase\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eKen Thorne - Cabot Cain To The Rescue\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eKen Thorne - Cafe Muzak\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eKen Thorne - He’s My Friend Too\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eKen Thorne - Classical Piano\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eKen Thorne - I’ll Tell You No More!\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eKen Thorne - Police Van\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eKen Thorne - Campfire\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eKen Thorne - Memories \/ On The Road\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eKen Thorne - Village Rescue\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eKen Thorne - Cain In Action\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eKen Thorne - Hotel Muzak\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eKen Thorne - Jewelry Store Muzak\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eKen Thorne - Having Drinks\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eKen Thorne - Love Scene\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eKen Thorne - Night Encounter\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eKen Thorne - Cabot Goes To Confront Agathon\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eKen Thorne - Entering The Camp\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eKen Thorne - Escape From Cell \/ Final Confrontation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eKen Thorne - Will I Be Remembered? \/ Fatal Shot\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eKen Thorne - Final Farewell\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eKen Thorne - Sooner Than We Know\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eKen Thorne - As Long As We Live\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eKen Thorne - The Kidnapping\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eKen Thorne - Torture and Death\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eKen Thorne - Tank Kill\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eKen Thorne - Bugs\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eKen Thorne - The Break Up\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eKen Thorne - Spy Kill\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eKen Thorne - The Colonel’s Death\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eKen Thorne - The Takeover\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eKen Thorne - Arrival\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eKen Thorne - The Betrayal\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eKen Thorne - Coup D’Etat\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eKen Thorne - Closing Credits\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eKen Thorne - The Dick Cavett Show Theme (Not Used in Film)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eKen Thorne - Tango\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eKen Thorne - Birthday Muzak #1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eKen Thorne - Birthday Muzak #2\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Dragon's Domain","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45038125318344,"sku":"DDR759","price":23.99,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0598\/8486\/3688\/files\/kenthornecd.jpg?v=1774552882","url":"https:\/\/videomatica.com\/products\/ken-thorne-collection-the-volume-1-cd","provider":"Videomatica Ltd (since 1983)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
