Von Roger: INTRADA ANNOUNCES CHANGE IN OWNERSHIP AND NEW BOARD OF DIRECTORS Co-CEO JEFF JOHNSON Co-CEO ROGER FEIGELSON Treasurer MARY ANN FAKE Secretary ANITA MOORE "I'm going to prove that music that comes from the cinema is substantial music." --Doug Fake, Intrada Founder, President and Producer (1952­–2024) As Intrada enters its 40th year of celebrating music from movies and television, they are happy to report their long-term plan to continue locating, restoring and releasing film music from across the decades. The Intrada team concluded its first year without its peerless leader, Douglass Fake, who passed away in July 2024.The team wrestled with his absence, but one thing was front and center––keeping Doug's vision alive. With the equally determined enthusiasm of his family, Jeff Johnson and Roger Feigelson have assumed majority ownership in Intrada, with Doug's daughters, Regina Fake and Veronika Schroers, retaining a minority stake. To drive the company forward, Intrada has put in place a new board of directors: Johnson and Feigelson will assume the role of co-CEOs. Both have extensive experience running the company. Johnson will continue to focus on the retail and distribution portion of the business, while Feigelson will continue to drive label operations, including managing the relationships with licensors, identifying new projects, and managing the production teams. Mary Ann, Fake's widow, has extensive insight and experience into the financial operations of the company and will assume the role of Treasurer. Finally, Intrada's bookkeeper, Anita Moore, who is responsible for the day-to-day financial functioning of the company, will take on the role of Secretary. Doug Fake founded Intrada in 1985, when after operating a retail soundtrack outlet in San Francisco for several years, took up the charge to release and restore the numerous great film scores that no other label was releasing on record. He and a small band of partners came together to license MGM's then-recent release of Red Dawn, scored by Basil Poledouris. Soon after, the company forged a relationship with composer Jerry Goldsmith that also inaugurated the business of recording film scores anew with Islands in the Stream. After several years, the partnership dissolved and Intrada was incorporated into the company that operates today. Over four decades, Intrada has undertaken well over 500 releases from both contemporary and classic films, including such noteworthy releases as Back to the Future, Jaws, Goldsmith's Rambo trilogy, and Conan the Barbarian, to barely scratch the surface. One of the company's highlights is its Excalibur line of film music recordings, now bolstered through Kickstarter crowdfunding to draw supporters together to finance recordings that wouldn't otherwise be feasible. Recent recordings in the Excalibur line feature conductor William T. Stromberg with the Royal Scottish National Orchestra—to absolutely stunning results. Intrada must thank and recognize the vast array of studios and licensors without whom there would be no label, including Universal, Disney, Paramount, Sony Pictures, MGM, Studio Canal, Warner Bros., Universal Music Enterprises, Sony Music Entertainment and so many more. It's difficult to encompass the extended team that has poured its heart into making Intrada's releases the best they can be, but they include Mike Matessino, Neil S. Bulk, Chris Malone, Frank DeWald, Kay Marshall, Joe Sikoryak, Mark Hammon, Joe Tarantino, Doug Schwartz, Pat Russ, Stéphane Coëdel, Leigh Phillips, William T. Stromberg, Anna Bonn Stromberg, Paul Talkington, Bruce Botnick, the late Mike Trevor-Ross, the late Nick Redman, Lukas Kendall, Jon Burlingame, Stéphane Humez, Mark Bagby, the entire team at the Goldsmith Odyssey and so many others, including a stable of talented liner note writers. Thank you for supporting Intrada these past 40 years and for helping Intrada keep Doug's passion alive. He had always been deeply grateful for all the support and it's needed now more than ever. The Intrada team wishes you a happy and peaceful new year!

LLLCD 1669 Music by Don Davis Limited Edition of 1000 Units La-La Land Records and Paramount Pictures present the official world premiere CD release of acclaimed composer Don Davis’ (THE MATRIX TRILOGY) original motion picture score to the renowned 1996 feature film thriller BOUND, starring Jennifer Tilly, Gina Gershon and Joe Pantoliano and directed by The Wachowskis. One of contemporary cinema’s most notable, envelope-pushing and entertaining neo-noir thrillers needed an on-target and knowing score to sync perfectly with its seductive and suspenseful tale of two women falling in love as they scheme to rip off a dangerous mobster. Enter composer Don Davis, who pulls it off in enthralling fashion, providing a mood-drenched, propulsive score that shines brilliantly in this presentation. This first remarkable collaboration between the composer and The Wachowskis forged a union that would become legend with THE MATRIX TRILOGY. A new recording of Davis’ concert piece inspired by the film score, “Illicit Felicity”, is included as a bonus track, performed by pianist Jenny Lin. Produced by Don Davis and Dan Goldwasser, and mastered by James Nelson, this special CD release is limited to 1000 units and includes exclusive, in-depth liner notes by writer Daniel Schweiger, featuring new comments from the composer. The cracking art design is by Dan Goldwasser. TRACK LISTING: 1. Closet Diving 2:48 2. Fix My Pipe 5:42 3. Rug Rangers Qu’est-ce Que C’est 2:22 4. Hand It To Shelley 2:01 5. Ravine Cuisine 4:37 6.

LLLCD 1683 Music Composed by Carmine Coppola Limited Edition of 3000 Units Twice before, La-La Land Records has made you movie music offers you couldn’t refuse. Now… just when you think you’re out… THEY PULL YOU BACK IN! For the 35th anniversary, La-La Land Records, Paramount Pictures and Sony Classical proudly present a remastered and expanded Limited Edition 3-CD release of composer Carmine Coppola’s (THE BLACK STALLION, THE OUTSIDERS) original motion picture score to the 1990 dramatic epic THE GODFATHER CODA: THE DEATH OF MICHAEL CORLEONE. Written by Mario Puzo and Francis Ford Coppola and directed by Coppola himself, the film stars Al Pacino, Diane Keaton and Andy Garcia. Composer Carmine Coppola shared musical responsibilities with Nino Rota on the first two films, together winning the Best Original Dramatic Score Academy Award for THE GODFATHER PART II. For the third chapter, director Coppola reunited with several other key contributors from the first two epics, such as cinematographer Gordon Willis and production designer Dean Tavoularis, but with the passing of Rota in 1979, the director’s father was the logical choice to score the final part of the Corleone crime saga. Using Rota’s music while composing new material, the score is operatic in its power, honoring the classic GODFATHER themes and motifs within a musical storm of brilliant original material including the Oscar-nominated song “Promise Me You’ll Remember” (performed by Harry Connick Jr.). Love, loss, death, power and sin – you’ll find it all here in this magnificent work, finally unleashed in this revelatory remastered and expanded presentation. Produced by Dan Goldwasser and Neil S. Bulk, mixed by Chris Malone, and mastered by Doug Schwartz, this special 3-CD release, limited to 3000 units, includes previously unreleased and unused music and has been approved by Francis Ford Coppola and American Zoetrope. Disc One showcases the film’s expanded score presentation as recorded, debuting many cues for the very first time, while Disc Two presents even more alternate cues, followed by several cues from the original 1972 film that were re-recorded. Disc Three features the remastered Original 1990 Soundtrack Album. The first two discs are newly remixed by Chris Malone from 6-track mixes found on the original ½” digital scoring masters and the third disc is sourced from the original digital album master. The exclusive, in-depth liner notes are by writer Tim Greiving and the sharp art design is by Dan Goldwasser. TRACK LISTING: DISC 1 1:10:08 SCORE PRESENTATION 1. Main Title (Film Version) 2:38 2.

Die CD erschien 2012. Der Streit ging 2007 los. Also hat LLL knapp vier Jahre an der Veröffentlichung gearbeitet, was ja nicht ungewöhnlich ist. Eigentlich sogar ein relativ kurzer Zeitraum, wenn man bedenkt, dass andere Titel auch schon mal zehn Jahre in der Mache sind. Seitdem erschienen auch keine anderen Goldenthal-Titel von Warner in erweiterter Form.

Snow Files of the Week: "The Smell of Zombies/The End of the Crusade" aus der X-Files-Folge "Millennium" (1999). Chris Carters zweite Serie "MillenniuM" endete vor dem Jahr 2000 (das Finale der Serie spielt im Mai 1999 und endet eigentlich mit einem Cliffhanger). Also suchten Carter und sein Team nach einer Möglichkeit, die Geschichte um Frank Black und der MillenniuM-Gruppe abzuschliessen. So kam es zu einer Crossover-Folge in der siebten Staffel der X-Akten. Trotz großer Enttäuschung vieler Fans über das Crossover (nach drei Staffeln „MillenniuM" mit seinem ganzen „story arc" endet es mit Mulder und Frank Black, die in einem Keller Zombies erschiessen), bleibt der herausragende Score von Mark Snow. Es gab ihm die Möglichkeit, die klagende Violine aus „MillenniuM" mit den Klanglandschaften der X-Files zu kombinieren. Und als Mulder und Scully sich endlich küssen, während sie im Fernsehen die Feierlichkeiten zum neuen Jahr 2000 verfolgen, baut Snow das traditionelle „Auld Lang Syne" in seine Musik ein, die mit einem raren Aufblitzen des X-Files-Themas endet. Die Musik wurde auf dem ersten 4-CD-Box-Set von LLL veröffentlicht, welches auf 2.000 Exemplare limitiert ist. Frohes neues Jahr!

Weil BATMAN FOREVER an LLL lizenziert wurde, kurz bevor der Rechtsstreit los ging. Daher musste dieses Projekt sozusagen noch ausgeführt werden.

Auch Uwe Boll ist ein Fan.

Snow Files of the Week: "Delete/Branches-Angels" aus "MillenniuM", Episode "Midnight of the Century" (1997). "Midnight of the Century" ist die Weihnachtsfolge der zweiten Staffel "MillenniuM". Sie ist eine der beliebtesten Folgen unter Fans und wird zu Weihnachten gerne nochmal hervorgeholt. In der Folge geht es um den Tod von Frank Blacks Mutter als er noch ein Kind war und um das zerrüttete Verhältnis zu seinem Vater. Eine sehr berührende Folge, die man auch ohne große Vorkenntnisse der Serie gut anschauen kann. Marks Musik trägt zur melancholischen und magischen Stimmung der Folge bei. Er komponierte ein sanftes Thema für die Streicher und kombinierte das mit sanften Chorpassagen, um Franks Reise in seine eigene Vergangenheit zu begleiten. Das Stück "Delete" fand bereits Verwendung in der Akte-X-Folge "Emily" und wurde für "Midnight of the Century" von Marks Music Editor Jeff Charbonneau etwas neu arrangiert. Die Tracks befinden sich auf dem ersten Volume MillenniuM-Musik von LLL, welches auf 1000 Stück limitiert ist. Viel Spaß beim Hören und frohe Weihnachten!

This year Intrada returned to Scotland to record its fifth Kickstarter-funded album, Jerry Goldsmith's 1969 political-thriller score for The Chairman. Backers have already received a digital version of the album and the feedback has been unanimously filled with praise. "Just heard the complete recording and it's stunning," said one contributor, summing up the overall sentiment. Performed by the Royal Scottish National Orchestra under the baton of William T. Stromberg, Intrada considers this the finest of all our crowdfunded projects to date. The assembly of musicians represents one of the largest assembled in the Scotland studio, featuring a vast array of percussion crowded in the back of the hall. Some of the percussion were modified, including rice poured on the bass drum turned horizontal for a singular rattling effect and the piano being muted with towel-wrapped copies of Shostakovich and Mahler biographies dampening the wires. Even instruments not traditionally used as percussion instruments were used—as percussion instruments. While a soundtrack album was released concurrently with the film on the Tetragrammaton label, the album masters and film recording sessions both vanished over the years. Subsequent CD reissues were limited to rips from vinyl sources, amplifying the limited range and distortion inherit in the format. While a short mono selection of cues in superior sound were released on the prestigious Goldsmith at Fox box set from Varèse Sarabande, it only included one previously unreleased cue less than a minute long. The demand remained for a brand-new recording of the otherwise unattainable score in complete form—which our team, led by producer Leigh Phillips, delivered in spades. To round out this impressive package, the cover is adorned with new artwork by Stéphane Coëdel and in-depth liner notes by Jon Burlingame. As a bonus, Intrada has recorded a suite of previously unreleased Goldsmith compositions otherwise lost to the ages. First, Intrada includes the end title to Rambo II, the original of which only exists on a poor-sounding cassette dub. Then there's "Alex's Death" from Under Fire, the film's set-piece action cue omitted from the original soundtrack. Listen to "The Flag" from Not Without My Daughter, the previously unreleased film version that features a militaristic trumpet solo (a favorite Goldsmith sound of our late founder Douglass Fake) also missing from the original soundtrack. This album also includes "Homer Writes" from Lilies of the Field—another track long since lost and not included on the original soundtrack. And as a surprise, Intrada recorded the demo Goldsmith composed for The Game of Our Lives, never heard anywhere before. Play all clips THE SCORE 01. Main Title (From The Chairman) (3:24) 02.

Snow Files of the Week: "Search your heart/Passing the Torch" aus "Ernest Saves Christmas" (1988). Und wir setzen die weihnachtliche Zeit fort mit einem weiteren Trackpaar aus "Ernest Saves Christmas". Für Freunde altmodischer Weihnachtsscores ist das genau das Richtige, Snow erschafft mit seinem Orchester einen einschmeichelnden Wohlfühlscore mit einigen Slapstick-Einwürfen. Viel Spaß beim Hören!

Wer ein bisschen Geld übrig hat... In Carpenters Shop kann man nun auch das Album der Coupé de Villes, "Waiting Out The Eighties", bestellen. Das Album wurde 1985 von Alan Howarth produziert und enthält hauptsächlich von Carpenter geschriebene Songs. Die Band bestand neben Carpenter noch aus Nick Castle und Tommy Lee Wallace. Das Album wurde in kleiner Auflage nur auf LP produziert, war aber nie käuflich erwerblich. Es wurde quasi nur für Freunde und Familie produziert. Nun hat man wohl in einem Lagerhaus Kartons mit weiteren Exemplaren der damaligen Pressung gefunden und diese sind nun käuflich erwerblich. Entweder nur die LP für 250 Dollar, von Carpenter signiert für 500 Dollar oder von allen drei Bandmitgliedern signiert für 750 Dollar. Das sind natürlich stolze Preise. Auf der anderen Seite wurde die LP auf Discogs auch schon für 860 Euro verkauft. Es würde mich auch nicht wundern, wenn Sacred Bones Records das Album eines Tages noch veröffentlichen. In 1985, John Carpenter and his long time friends and collaborators Nick Castle and Tommy Lee Wallace recorded the title track to John’s film, Big Trouble in Little China, under the moniker The Coupe De Villes. They enjoyed the process so much that they decided to write and record a full album together. They called it, Waiting Out the Eighties. As lore would have it, they only pressed 150 copies of the album and gave them out to friends and family. This album, for years now, has been a Holy Grail album for many a fan and collector. But what if we told you they pressed more than that? What if we told you that during another warehouse purge, behind a stack of movie posters and boxes of props and scripts, we found… more boxes? Boxes that had been sitting untouched for 40 years. Boxes that contained more sealed copies of this lost album. Well, guess what. We did. We carefully extracted the boxes, and for months now, have been opening and meticulously checking the condition of these albums, removing the warped and time-scarred records and saving the rest. Yes, unfortunately, some didn’t quite survive the decades, but most did, and we are now ready to start making them available to you. And if that wasn’t cool enough, the band reunited earlier this year when John received his star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, and the guys were gracious enough to sign some sleeves. We will be releasing these limited copies of Waiting Out the Eighties in three tiers. Tier 1 - Unsigned. For $250, you get the album. Tier 2 - Signed by John Carpenter. For $500, this comes with a custom CoA from Storm King Productions and a black and white photo taken earlier this year of John Carpenter, Nick Castle and Tommy Lee Wallace recreating their album cover from 40 years ago. Tier 3 - Signed by John Carpenter, Nick Castle, and Tommy Lee Wallace. For $750, this comes with a custom CoA from Storm King Productions, a black and white photo taken earlier this year of John Carpenter, Nick Castle and Tommy Lee Wallace recreating their album cover from 40 years ago, and a color version of the photo. These are hand numbered 1 through 250 on both the back of the album sleeve and the CoA. Please note… these albums are from the original pressing 40 years ago. There may be minor imperfections, but we’ve been visually inspecting each and every album, as well as doing random testing of sound quality, and the albums that have failed any of the above have been removed. ALL albums have been opened, and all will come in a protective outer sleeve.

Klanglich ist die Neuauflage wirklich top geworden. Ein wenig schade ist, dass die von Fiedel gesungene Version von "Come to me", die auf der ersten Intrada-Veröffentlichung noch enthalten war, hier nun fehlt. Gut, sie kommt im Film auch nicht vor und wurde von Fiedel nur für das Song-Album aufgenommen, aber der Vollständigkeit halber wäre das bei einer Neuauflage schon nett gewesen. Vielleicht ist der Song dann in fünf Jahren für die 45th Anniversary Edition wieder mit dabei Das Song-Album erschien ja auch zwischenzeitlich von Perseverance auf CD, nachdem es das Album bisher nur auf LP gab. Und da ist die Fiedel-Version von "Come to me" ja auch dabei.

Snow Files of the Week: "Santos Elves/The Way it was" aus "MillenniuM", Episode "Omerta" (1998). "Omerta" ist die Weihnachtsfolge der dritten Staffel von "MillenniuM". Darin geht es um zwei junge Frauen, die in den Wäldern leben, fernab der Zivilisation. Ihre Namen sind Lassa und Rose, Lassa hat heiliende Kräfte. Für seine Musik benutze Mark opernhafte Gesang-Samples, die der Musik einen magischen Touch verleihen. Mark kombiniert seine düsteren Klanglandschaften mit dem wundervollen Thema für Lassa und Rose, womit "Omerta" eine der "MillenniuM"-Folgen mit der aussergewöhnlichsten Musik ist. Die Tracks befinden sich auf dem ersten Volume mit "MillenniuM"-Musik von LLL, limitiert auf 1.000 Stück. Viel Spaß beim Hören!
