King Kong soundtrack - John Barry

My favorite music growing up was soundtracks, and John Barry's classic to the 1976 remake of King Kong was one of my favorites.  When the album finally became available on CD last year I snatched it up.  The recording is pretty thin, and the music itself is heavily dated in spots (and often reminds you of his other '70's soundtracks, most notably 1979's Moonraker) but it is good stuff in many, many places, with driving action scenes in a couple of places and a lush love theme.  Not a great soundtrack, but a nice one.
