It's worth noting that the Sky Riders soundtrack, however minutely it may figure in Lalo Schifrin's overall career, marks something of a watershed for the composer. Recorded in February of 1976 (a busy year that would include music for a total of five feature films, a television movie, and a generous sprinkling of episodic TV), it would prove to be the last, for a time, in that long, innovative line of jazz/funk-dominated scores with which Schifrin made his reputation. Later in the year, he would score‹and earn an Academy Award nomination for‹Voyage of the Damned, delving into a more conventionally orchestral if still compelling style. For the next two decades‹until director Brett Ratner asked him to revive the funky mode of Enter the Dragon for Money Talks (1997) - this was the musical arena in which Lalo would explore, and delight.
