"Billy was a kid who got pushed around. Then he found the power..."
This is the score to the 1978 snorefest of a sci-fi film, "Laserblast." Despite it's title, there really isn't that much laserblasting going on and the movie gets bogged down by confusing sublots that have no payoff, as well as carboard characters and a wasted (not in the drunk sense) Roddy McDowall, who gets precious little screen time. The only good things are the stop motion aliens by Dave Allen, and the score by Joel Goldsmith (son of Jerry) and Richard Band. The score was only released in a limited edition of 1,000 copies (and is more than likely OOP), so those who didin't get their copy can download it here. The score is a mixture of orchestral instruments and 70s synthesizers that create a pretty cool sound (much like Joel's father Jerry did later in his career). Unless you're a bad movie fanatic (like I am), stay the hell away from the movie at all costs, but the score comes highly reccomended.
