In a recent blog I had mentioned Bernard Herrmann, the acclaimed motion picture composer. He worked with all the top directors during his career... from Orson Welles to Martin Scorsese. But his most successful collaboration was with Alfred Hitchcock. The 'Psycho' soundtrack was his most daring, and definitely the most effective, of all his soundtracks. In 1998 the movie 'Psycho' was remade, for whatever reason, I don't know. However, the soundtrack for that remake was surprisingly good. Not only were there re-recordings of some of Bernard Hermann's score for the original film by Danny Elfman, there were also songs using samples from the original score. The most successful of the those was 'Lion Rock' with their song "In the End" featuring many recognisable samples from Bernard Herrmann's original score. A fantastic hybrid of classic Hollywood and modern electronica.
