Dragon's Domain Records presents FORCE: FIVE, featuring music composed by William Goldstein for the 1981 martial arts action film directed by Robert Clouse, written by Clouse, Emil Farkas and George Goldsmith, starring Joe Lewis, Sonny Barnes, Richard Norton, Benny Urquidez, Ron Hayden, Pam Huntington, Michael Prince, Bob Schott, Amanda Wyss, Tom Villard and Master Bong Soo Han as the Reverend Rhee.
In FORCE:?FIVE, William Stark, a top government agent, assembles a force of five martial arts experts to carry out a near-impossible assignment. They must infiltrate a religious cult led by the Reverend Rhee (Soo Han), one of the world's most powerful religious leaders. Rhee lives on an island, surrounded by an army of trained mercenaries and fighters, his cult attracting the children of the world's wealthiest people so that he can convince them to relinquish their inheritance and sign them over to Rhee.
Clouse started out his career strong, directing Bruce Lee in ENTER THE DRAGON and made many martial arts driven films afterwards, including BLACK BELT JONES, GAME OF DEATH, BATTLE CREEK BRAWL, GYMKATA and CHINA O'BRIEN, among others. His films featured many well known actors who were also skilled martial artists, including Jim Kelly, Jackie Chan and Cynthia Rothrock. While many martial arts action films of the time would focus on one or two fight styles, FORCE: FIVE represented an opportunity to feature a rich diversity of fighting styles with the fight choreography.
FORCE:?FIVE was scored by composer William Goldstein. He has been a recording artist for Motown and CBS Masterworks. Goldstein has scored over 50 Movie and Television projects, including FAME & THE?MIRACLE?WORKER. He has been a pioneer in the use of computers and electronic instruments in music. His most distinguishing characteristic as a composer / pianist is his gift of "Instant Composition", which he shares with audiences through master classes, recitals and albums.
Goldstein early on established himself as a composer who was comfortable all over the musical map. In addition to film scoring, recording and concert scores performed from Carnegie Hall to Symphony Hall Boston, he established himself as an innovator of New Technology.
In addition to his professional activities in music and film, Mr. Goldstein is a founder of the Museum of Contemporary Art in Los Angeles, a founding director of the California State Summer School for the Arts, and served for many years on both the music branch executive committee of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences, as well as its foreign language (now International film) committee. He has also been a visiting artist for the Academy, lecturing from the Far East to the Middle East on contemporary aesthetics as well as music in film.
His filmography includes music for films such as THE BINGO LONG TRAVELING ALL-STARS & MOTOR KINGS, AN EYE FOR AN EYE, FORCED VENGEANCE, FAME, UP THE CREEK, SAVING GRACE, HELLO AGAIN, INTIMATE POWER, SHOCKER, BLOOD RIVER, THE QUARREL, Danielle Steele's ZOYA and THE MIRACLE WORKER, as well as contributing music on television for NATIONAL GEOGRAPHIC,THE TWILIGHT ZONE, RIPLEY'S BELIEVE IT OR NOT, THE MAGICAL WORLD OF DISNEY and OCEANQUEST.
Dragon's Domain Records presents FORCE: FIVE, featuring music composed by William Goldstein for the first time on compact disc. The music has been mastered by James Nelson at Digital Outland and the liner notes have been written by Mike Joffe.
ロバート・クローズ監督、ジョー・ルイス主演、1981年の武術アクション映画『FORCE: FIVE』のオリジナルイ・サウンドトラック。音楽はウィリアム・ゴールドスタイン。
トラックリスト『FORCE: FIVE』では、政府のトップエージェントであるウィリアム・スタークが、ほぼ不可能な任務を遂行するため、5人の武術の達人を集める。彼らは、世界でも最も強力な宗教指導者の一人であるリー牧師（ボン・スー・ハン）が率いる宗教カルト組織に潜入しなければならない。リーは島に住み、訓練された傭兵や戦闘員の大軍に守られている。彼のカルトは世界中の富豪の子供たちを惹きつけ、彼らに遺産を放棄させ、リーに譲渡させるよう説得している。
クローズは『ドラゴンへの道』でブルース・リーを監督し、キャリアを力強くスタートさせ、その後も『黒帯ドラゴン』、『ブルース・リー／死亡遊戯』、『バトル・クリーク・ブロール』、『カラテＮＩＮＪＡ／ジムカタ』、『女ドラゴン・コップ チャイナ・オブライアン』など、数多くの武術を軸とした映画を監督した。彼の作品には、ジム・ケリー、ジャッキー・チェン、シンシア・ロスロックなど、武術の腕前も優れた多くの著名な俳優が出演した。当時の多くの武術アクション映画が1つか2つの格闘スタイルに焦点を当てていたのに対し、『FORCE: FIVE』は、その戦闘演出を通じて、実に多様な格闘スタイルを披露する機会となった。
『FORCE: FIVE』の音楽は、作曲家のウィリアム・ゴールドスタインが担当。彼はモータウンやCBSマスターワークスから作品をリリースしている。ゴールドスタインは、『ロングウェイ・ホーム』や『奇跡の人 ヘレン・ケラー物語』をはじめ、50本以上の映画やテレビ番組の音楽を手がけてきた。また、音楽におけるコンピューターや電子楽器の活用における先駆者でもある。作曲家／ピアニストとしての彼の最大の特徴は、「即興作曲」の才能であり、彼はマスタークラスやリサイタル、アルバムを通じてその才能を観客と共有している。
ゴールドスタインは早い段階から、あらゆる音楽ジャンルを自在にこなす作曲家としての地位を確立した。映画音楽の作曲、レコーディング、カーネギー・ホールからボストン・シンフォニー・ホールに至るまでのコンサートでの演奏に加え、彼は新技術の革新者としてもその名を知られるようになった。
音楽と映画における専門的な活動に加え、ゴールドスタイン氏はロサンゼルス現代美術館の創設者であり、カリフォルニア州立芸術サマースクールの創設理事でもあります。また、長年にわたり、映画芸術科学アカデミーの音楽部門執行委員会および外国語（現・国際映画）委員会の両方で委員を務めました。また、同アカデミーの客員アーティストとしても、極東から中東に至るまで、現代美学や映画音楽について講演を行ってきた。
彼のフィルモグラフィーには、『ロングウェイ・ホーム』、『香港コネクション』、『チャック・ノリスの 地獄の復讐』、『フェーム』、『アップ・ザ・クリーク』、『法王の旅』、『ハロー・アゲイン』、『アストロ・モンキー』、『ショッカー』、『 デストラスト／疑惑のシナリオ』、 ダニエル・スティール原作の『ゾヤ』や『奇跡の人 ヘレン・ケラー物語』などがあり、テレビ番組では『ナショナル・ジオグラフィック』、『トワイライト・ゾーン』、『THE MAGICAL WORLD OF DISNEY』などに音楽を提供している。
ウィリアム・ゴールドスタインが作曲した『FORCE: FIVE』が、初めてCD化。マスタリングはデジタル・アウトランドのジェームズ・ネルソンが担当し、ライナーノーツはマイク・ジョッフェが執筆しています。
限定盤。
