Part 1 - Alan returns to FSMO with a kind vengeance.

Alan Silvestri, long absent from the pages of FSMO, makes a triumphant return to discuss his recent work on The A-Team, including why the Tank cue stands out from the rest of the pack. He also reveals why he did not score the recent Predators. Below, you will find three separate links for this feature. The first is an introductory montage containing a 10-plus-minute suite of Silvestri scores; the second is the interview itself; and the third is an interview with A-Team-director Joe Carnahan right after the film's U.K. premiere.

After opening with samplings of Silvestri's original Silver Pictures Logo Theme (on the Ricochet album), Forrest Gump, Soapdish and Back to the Future, the montage proper covers:

Delta Force, CHIPs, Romancing the Stone, Flight of the Navigator,Overboard, The Abyss, Young Guns 2, Back to the Future Part III, Father of the Bride, Judge Dredd, The Quick and the Dead, Contact, Stuart Little, What Lies Beneath, Mummy Returns, G.I. Joe, and The A-Team.

Part 2 - The composer talks Zemeckis, Roger Rabbit and more, in the 32-minute conclusion to our audio piece.

Last month, Alan Silvestri, spoke about his work on The A-Team and why he did not score Predators. This time around, in the half-hour-plus conclusion to the interview, the composer has a whole lot more to say. Hear him discuss some of his most beloved Zemeckis works (Cast Away, Forrest Gump and more); what possibilities Roger Rabbit 2 might hold; some of the reasons why he hasn't been writing as many film scores in recent years; and much more.
