Dragon’s Domain Records, to be distributed through buysoundtrax.com, presents THE ALBERT GLASSER COLLECTION Volume 3, featuring the premiere releases of Albert Glasser’s music for FOUR BOYS AND A GUN and STREET OF SINNERS. The two films in this third collection of 1950s classic Albert Glasser scores from Dragon’s Domain Records are essentially juvenile delinquent crime films from 1957, and were released by United Artists. Both films were directed by William Berke (1903–1958), a veteran director of nearly 100 films since 1934, including many Westerns and crime dramas, and a handful of television episodes during the early 1950s. The years 1957-58 were Albert Glasser’s busiest as a film composer, having scored fifteen B-movies that saw release in 1957, and ten in 1958. The films included Glasser’s celebrated science fiction/monster films BEGINNING OF THE END, THE CYCLOPS, MONSTER FROM GREEN HELL, THE AMAZING COLOSSAL MAN in ’57, and GIANT FROM THE UNKNOWN, ATTACK OF THE PUPPET PEOPLE, WAR OF THE COLOSSAL BEAST, and THE SPIDER from the following year, as well as a slew of Westerns, adventure sagas, crime, and juvenile gang movies. FOUR BOYS AND A GUN is based on a 1944 novel of the same name by Willard Wiener (1900-1982) who later wrote episodes of TV’s FOUR STAR PLAYHOUSE and the like in the 1950s. Leo Townsend and Philip Yordan wrote the screenplay. While the four “boys” – Ollie, Eddie, Johnny, and Stanley – are clearly young grown-ups, the juvenile delinquent genre tag fits the presentation of their characters. These four young friends, needing cash to pay off a bookie after Ollie spent the money impressing a girl instead, decide at Ollie’s direction to hold up a boxing arena in order to obtain the necessary cash to pay off the loan. When a cop is killed during the robbery, the four are quickly found and arrested, and the district attorney is brought in to determine which of the four boys fired the fatal shot. He leaves it to the four of them to identify the shooter, or else all four will go to the electric chair – and three of them don’t know which of them that was. Albert Glasser provides a powerful score using a jazz group of 20 players (4 trumpets, 4 trombones, 5 saxophones, piano, etc.) that perfectly fits the style of the film and the attitude of the period. STREET OF SINNERS is based on a story by Philip Yordan, with a screenplay written by John McPartland (THE WILD PARTY, NO DOWN PAYMENT, THE LOST MISSILE). It’s as hard-hitting a story as FOUR BOYS AND A GUN although it focuses on a rookie cop taking over the beat on a particularly unruly downtown street. Unlike his genial predecessor, the young new officer, strictly by-the-book, is unwilling to look the other way and let the young hoodlums hanging out on the street continue to get away with minor crimes. Veteran actor George Montgomery (who starred in Glasser’s HUK! in 1956) plays officer John Dean; with Geraldine Brooks as Terry, an alcoholic divorcee hoping to get a second chance at romance with the tall, handsome beat cop; and Marilee Earle as Nancy, one of the street’s tough girls who manages to reform herself through the influence of Officer Dean, ultimately serving as the film’s leading heroine. William Harrigan plays Gus, the retiring officer who tolerated much of what happens on “Nameless” Street but finds a chance for redemption later in the story. Nehemiah Persoff is Leon, the bar owner who runs crime on the street and becomes Dean’s leading adversary, and Stephen Joyce plays Ricky, the unhappy ex-soldier who fancies himself as Nancy’s guy until he jumps at the opportunity to become Leon’s “muscle.” Another veteran actor getting his first feature film role here is Clifford Davis, whose star took off on television in the 1970s and in films during the 1980s and beyond (BILL & TED’S EXCELLENT ADVENTURE, THE EXORCIST III, SIGNS, KINSEY). He plays Tommy, Leon’s brother and one of the toughs hanging out on Nameless Street. Glasser’s score, like that of FOUR BOYS AND A GUN, is heavily styled in jazz, but with more of a dramatic punch and a touch of noir intonations than was found in the previous movie. With few exceptions, the film’s music is music of the street – the wild, the brash, the lifestyle of the hustlers and the wannabees; Glasser’s occasional interludes are reserved for a handful of specific dramatic or emotional moments. Dragon’s Domain Records, to be distributed by BuySoundtrax, presents the world premiere release of THE ALBERT GLASSER COLLECTION Volume 3, featuring original music composed by Albert Glasser, mastered by James Nelson at Digital Outland. The booklet contains analytical liner notes written by noted film music journalist Randall D. Larson and superb artwork by Andrea Rouleau.

THE DEEP ONES features music composed by Richard Band for the 2020 horror film directed by Chad Ferrin, based on the writings of H.P. Lovecraft and starring Gina La Plana, Robert Miano, Johann Urb, Silvia Spross, Jackie Debatin, Kellie Maroney and Nicolas Coster. After suffering an untimely loss, Alex (La Piana) and her husband Petri (Urb) visit California for a much-needed break from reality. At an unassuming AirBnB rental near Ventura Beach, they meet the mysterious Russell Marsh (Miano). Marsh introduces them to the oddly enthusiastic locals, fixes them a lavish meal and invites them out on his luxury boat. Little do they know that beneath Mr. Marsh’s thin veneer of avuncular charm lurks a dark devotion to an archaic evil. After a successful collaboration on the horror comedy EXORCISM AT 60,000 FEET in 2019, director Chad Ferrin knew there was only person to score THE DEEP ONES. Only one composer holds the record for scoring the most H.P. Lovecraft projects and it’s Richard Band, which includes his music for RE-ANIMATOR, FROM BEYOND, THE RESURRECTED and a memorable episode of MASTERS OF HORROR. Richard Band was born in Los Angeles on December 28, 1953. He is the son of film producer-director-writer Albert Band (THE RED BADGE OF COURAGE – screen adaptation), brother to producer-distributor Charles Band and uncle to young rock star Alex Band of the rock group ‘The Calling’. Shortly after his brother Charles had formed his first movie company, Richard decided to take a break from music and began to work as an assistant director on some of his films. He then went from assistant director to production manager, to associate producer and finally producer on over 13 films. Richard has since gone on to score over 75 feature films and many television productions including multiple episodes of STARGATE SG-1, WALKER: TEXAS RANGER and Disney's SING ME A STORY series. Richard has composed the music for more than 10 interactive computer/video games over the years and has had many soundtracks that have been released of his film works. Richard has also scored many documentaries including the award-winning series’ MOST DECORATED, BRUTE FORCE and WEAPONS OF WAR and has also contributed much music to other series’ like THE REAL WEST, CIVIL WAR JOURNALS and BIOGRAPHIES. His experience over the years has brought him to record over 22 film scores with internationally renowned orchestras such as THE ROYAL PHILHARMONIC ORCHESTRA, THE LONDON SYMPHONY and THE ROME PHILHARMONIC. He has also had his music recorded in Prague, Romania, Croatia and Munich. In more recent years, Richard has also enjoyed scoring a variety of family and comedy films for Viacom and Paramount Pictures as well as hundreds of animated vignettes for the WB kid's network all of which were scored with orchestra. His musical talents can also be heard on several amusement park rides including ALIENS - THE RIDE as well as several Vegas venues. Among the many interactive games Richard has scored the music for STAR TREK, WATERWORLD, CASPER, STONEKEEP, DECENT UNDER MOUNTAIN, CLAYFIGHTER and INVICTUS: THE SHADOW OF OLYMPUS. Dragon’s Domain Records presents the original motion picture soundtrack to THE DEEP ONES, digitally mastered by James Nelson at Digital Outland, featuring liner notes written by composer and author Brian Satterwhite. THE DEEP ONES is a limited edition release of 500 units. THE DEEP ONES is expected to begin shipping the week of October 12th, 2021. The first 50 copies ordered through the buysoundtrax.com website will be autographed by the composer at no extra charge. 1. The Deep Ones - Main Title (2:30) 2.

Party B (2:40) Total Time: 54:57 Dragon’s Domain Records, to be distributed through buysoundtrax.com, presents the original motion picture soundtracks to SORORITY HOUSE MASSACRE II & III, featuring music composed by Chuck Cirino for the 1995 horror sequels directed by Jim Wynorski, written by Mark Thomas McGee, J.B. Rogers and Bob Sheridan, and starring Gail Thackray, along with Wynorski regulars such as Deborah Dutch, Toni Naples, Kelli Maroney and Monique Gabrielle, not to mention Peter Spellos as Orville Ketchum. SORORITY HOUSE MASSACRE II began life one day when director Jim Wynorski noticed some sets were available at Roger Corman’s studios. After getting permission to film on the sets from Roger’s wife, Julie, while they were out of town and under the condition that Roger not find out, Wynorski wrote, cast and filmed under the title JIM WYNORSKI’S HOUSE OF BABES with no producer supervision. The Cormans were pleasantly surprised at how well the film had turned out and thought it would be easier to sell if it were a sequel to an existing film but neither of these sequels have anything to do with Carol Frank’s SORORITY HOUSE MASSACRE, released in 1986. In SORORITY HOUSE MASSACRE II, five college girls buy the old Hokstedter place for their new sorority house. Once the site of a multiple murder five years earlier, the girls are able to get a good price on the house. The girls decide to spend the night in the house so they can greet the movers in the morning. Before you can consult your Ouija board or take a really long shower, the girls are being creeped on by neighbor from Hell Orville Ketchum, who also happens to ply his trade as a butcher. Released in 1993, SORORITY HOUSE MASSACRE III, also known as HARD TO DIE, actually does not take place anywhere near a sorority house but finds at least five college girls who work in the high rise building of the Acme Lingerie Company working overtime one evening. A package mistakenly arrives at the office and one of the girls make the fatal mistake of opening the package, releasing an evil spirit that begins to pursue them. Peter Spellos returns as Orville Ketchum in his newfound role as building janitor. SORORITY HOUSE MASSACRE II & III continues the longtime collaboration between filmmaker Jim Wynorski and composer Chuck Cirino, which includes films such as CHOPPING MALL, DEATHSTALKER II, NOT OF THIS EARTH, TRANSYLVANIA TWIST, RETURN OF SWAMP THING, A DOGGONE CHRISTMAS, A DOGGONE HOLLYWOOD and, most recently, A DOGGONE ADVENTURE. Chuck Cirino did not start his career as a composer, but rather as a programmer in Stroudsburg, Pennsylvania for a Public Access cable TV station, where he learned how to create TV shows by himself, without a crew. In his spare time, he experimented with the station’s video equipment and created a series of genre productions that allowed him the opportunity to learn how to incorporate special effects into his work. After relocating to California, Cirino transitioned into directing high-end special effects television commercials. His first work as composer was for the 1980 cult film GYPSY ANGELS, which starred Vanna White and Richard Roundtree. Since then he has scored films for Roger Corman, directed music videos for bands like Earth, Wind & Fire and The Dickies’ KILLER KLOWNS FROM OUTER SPACE, and has recorded over 40 music soundtracks for feature films including SORCERESS, HARD TO DIE, TRANSYLVANIA TWIST, and many others. Most recently, he has scored A DOGGONE CHRISTMAS, A DOGGONE HOLLYWOOD and A DOGGONE ADVENTURE. Chuck has worked as a producer, director, filmmaker, videographer, animator, special effects technician, editor, and composer. He executive produces and directs WEIRD TV, a television series featuring weird Americans, bizarre news, unbelievable events and outlandish skits. Chuck’s credits also include executive producer and director of the Sci Fi Channel projects, WORLDWIDE WEIRD and WARPED IN SPACE, and BABERELLAS, an independent Sci Fi feature distributed by Xenon Pictures. Dragon’s Domain Records is excited to bring SORORITY HOUSE MASSACRE II & III to compact disc for the first time, mastered by James Nelson at Digital Outland with exclusive liner notes by composer and author Brian Satterwhite, with the participation of the composer. SORORITY HOUSE MASSACRE II & III is a limited edition release of 500 units. As a special offer, the first 50 people to order the album from the record label’s website will have their copy autographed by the composer at no additional charge.

Mein liebster Film-Review-Kanal Red Letter Media hat sich einem Ranking aller John-Carpenter-Filme angenommen. Teil 2 und 3 folgen sicherlich die nächsten Tage/Wochen bis Halloween.

Quartet Records and Carosello Edizioni Musicali present an expanded, completely remastered edition of Ennio Morricone’s cult score for VERGOGNA SCHIFOSI (1969). Directed by Mauro Severino, the film is about a misstep from the past that comes back to haunt three young perpetrators from Milan with vengeance on its mind. Years after getting away with murder, they suddenly receive an incriminating photo, accompanied by a request for money. Despite their quick payment, they keep getting new messages. Morricone’s catchy score is based on the lyrics of the classic nursery rhyme “Giro giro tondo” (“Ring Around the Rosie” in English). The hit LP soundtrack was a strongly edited selection, while the full score has not been available – until now. Besides including the original LP program (including source cues that were never used in the movie), this edition premieres the complete takes of Morricone’s two key themes, including all alternates that were combined in different ways for the film as well as the soundtrack. Produced by Dániel Winkler, supervised by Claudio Fuiano and mastered by Chris Malone from first-generation master tapes, the release includes a richly illustrated booklet with liner notes by Gergely Hubai discussing the full story of the score and providing a breakdown of how each take was used for the creation of this memorable score. Matto, caldo, soldi, morto… girotondo (3:24) Guardami negli occhi (2:18) Ninna nanna per adulti (2:44) Una spiaggia a mezzogiorno (3:39) Un altro mare (6:36) Matto, caldo, soldi, morto… girotondo (4:53) Ninna nanna per adulti #2 (3:05) Matto, caldo, soldi, morto… girotondo #3 (3:10) Ninna nanna per adulti #3 (3:01) Ninna nanna per adulti #4 (1:57) Matto, caldo, soldi, morto… girotondo #4 (2:24) Matto, caldo, soldi, morto… girotondo #5 (3:01) Ninna nanna per adulti #5 (2:02) Matto, caldo, soldi, morto… girotondo #6 (6:40) Quartet Records, Carosello Edizioni Musicali and Beat Records present an ultimate 2-CD expanded edition of Bruno Nicolai’s cult score for FEMMINE INSAZIABILI (1969). Directed by Alberto de Martino, the film is about a journalist who is hot on the trail of investigating his friend’s mysterious death in a car accident. The journey takes him to funerals, orgies and interviews with some of the most beautiful women of Italian cinema (such as Luciana Paluzzi and Romina Power), all of whom have flashbacks to sexual escapades. After working along with Ennio Morricone on previous engagements (BANDITS IN ROME, OK CONNERY), Bruno Nicolai went solo with this De Martino effort, kicking things off with “I Want It All,” a raunchy theme song performed by Lara Saint Paul both in English and Italian. Made up of groovy, funky instrumentals, psychedelic organ pieces and Edda Dell’Orso’s vocalism, it is simply one of the catchiest scores from the composer’s filmography. FEMMINE INSAZIABILI was released on LP in 1969, and later reissued on CD in an expanded edition by Easy Tempo. This release contains the original album program on Disc 1, while the second disc features the complete film versions and bonus tracks, adding up to a generous program over of 100 minutes. Produced by Enrico De Gemini and mastered by Chris Malone, the booklet includes richly illustrated liner notes by Gergely Hubai that provide cinematic context to this obscure movie, including the shocking details about its two different cuts.

Dann habe ich wohl Glück gehabt. Ich habe auch bei Musicbox bestellt und meine Lieferung kam bereits Ende letzter Woche an.

Machen die kleinen Label immer so. Denn wenn man gleich 10.000 Stück pressen lässt, muss man die ja auch irgendwo lagern. Das kostet Geld. Und wenn die Verkäufe dann irgendwo bei 5.000 Stück aufhören, bleibt das Label auf einem Berg von 5.000 CDs sitzen, die sie irgendwann vernichten muss. Ebenfalls rausgeworfenes Geld. Also presst man eine erste Auflage und wenn die abverkauft ist, je nach Nachfrage und Geschwindigkeit des Abverkaufes, lässt man den nächsten Schwung pressen. Und so geht das weiter, bis die 10.000 Stück verkauft sind. Läuft bei anderen Titeln nicht anders. LLL bräuchte ein riesiges Lagerhaus, wenn sie jeden Titel, den sie veröffentlichen, sofort in der vollen Auflagenhöhe pressen lassen würden. Und viele Titel, die irgendwann ausverkauft waren, waren es nicht, weil die Auflagenhöhe abverkauft war, sondern weil die Nachfrage einfach weg war und das Label dann entschieden hat, die restlichen CDs nicht mehr pressen zu lassen.

Snow Files of the Week: "M. Magdalene/Divine Daughter" aus "MillenniuM", Episode "Anamnesis" (1998). Dies ist eine von nur zwei Episoden der ganzen Serie, bei der Frank Black seiner Frau Catherine die Bühne überlässt. Zusammen mit Lara Means ermittelt Catherine im Fall eines Schulmädchens, welches angeblich Visionen hat, die sie direkt von Jesus bekommt. Marks Musik passt sich dem religiösen Thema der Folge an. Es gibt ein sanftes Piano-Thema für das Mädchen und sphärische Chorgesänge für ihre Visionen. Ebenso kommt die gesampelte Flöte aus der Folge "Luminary" wieder zum Einsatz. Die Stücke stammen vom zweiten Set von LLL, welches auf 2000 Stück limitiert ist. Das Set ist ausverkauft. Viel Spaß beim Hören!

Ich hab die Box schon seit Jahren hier stehen.

Snow Files of the Week: „Origins/Base Camp", aus „The X-Files", Episode „Firewalker" (1994). Der Wissenschaftler Dr. Pierce überwacht die Übertragung des Forschungsroboters „Firewalker", der vulkanische Aktivitäten im Mount Avalon dokumentieren soll. Während der Übertragung entdeckt Dr. Pierce auf den Bildern die Leiche des Forschungsleiters Erickson. Und einen Schatten, der sich dort scheinbar bewegt, was aufgrund der hohen Temperaturen für jedes Lebewesen tödlich wäre, bevor die Kamera des Roboters zerstört wird. Mulder und Scully werden auf den Fall angesetzt und schon bald entdeckt Mulder, dass die Wissenschaftler scheinbar einen fremdartigen Organismus in den Tiefen des Mount Avalon gefunden haben. Mark webt das Titelthema in den Track „Origins" ein, während „Base Camp" ein an die 80er Jahre erinnerndes, sphärisches Stück Musik ist. Beide Tracks stammen vom vierten Set von LLL, welches auf 2.000 Exemplare limitiert ist. Viel Spaß beim Hören!

Auch diesen Goldsmith-Score bringt Quartet noch einmal unverändert auf CD heraus. Dazu gibt es ihn auch auf Vinyl.

Snow Files of the Week: "A Message of Faith" aus "Night Sins" (1997). Die Musik zu diesem TV-Thriller ist natürlich geprägt von Snows damaligen aktuellen Arbeiten zu "X-Files" und "MillenniuM". Ein schönes Hauptthema begleitet den Hörer durch den Score, welches in diesem Track seine schönste Präsentation bekommt. Snow reichert das Stück durch einen sphärischen Chor an und zeigt außerdem mal wieder, dass er einfach tolle Piano-Themen schreiben kann. Die Musik zu "Night Sins" wurde von BSX veröffentlicht, limitiert auf 1000 Stück. Viel Spaß beim Hören!

Auch hier sehe ich das eher durch die nostalgische Brille. Es gab damals tatsächlich ein Album mit den Songs aus der Serie, die vor allem in der ersten Staffel zu hören sind. Dargeboten vom Mädchenduo Tahiti und produziert unter anderem von Ollie Brown, der damals auch die Songs des Breakdance-Films BREAKIN' geschrieben hat. Dieses Album ist allerdings super selten, selbst bei Discogs taucht es nur alle paar Jahre einmal auf und wird dann für mehrere hundert Euro verkauft. Da hätte ich also nichts gegen eine CD, die dann um die Scorestücke ergänzt wird. Die Musik aus der Masters-Zeichentrickserie hat LLL ja auch schon gebracht.

Bei Vinyl mittlerweile ja auch. Die Presswerke, die es dafür noch gibt, sind quasi im Dauerbetrieb. Da mussten manche VÖs ebenfalls schon verschoben werden. Oder die Vinyl wurde nachgeschoben, weil eine CD vorher fertig sein konnte.

Ich zitiere mal Zitate von Stefan Schlegel aus einem anderen Thread.

Der Marsch als Hauptthema ist natürlich recht prägnant. Dazu gibt es noch ein jazziges Thema für Winger, Bill Murrays Charakter. Insgesamt besteht der Score aber hauptsächlich aus Variationen des Marsches und ähnlich gelagerter „Militärmusik", mit einem Augenzwinkern natürlich, da es sich hier um eine Komödie handelt.

Und hier die Trackliste: 1. DUNE BUGGY (FROM THE FUTURE) 2. BULLDOZER #63 3. ORZOWEI FEAT. TOMMASO PARADISO 4. SANDOKAN FEAT. CLAUDIO BAGLIONI 5. FLYING THROUGH THE AIR (50TH ANNIVERSARY) 6. BANANA JOE FEAT. BUD SPENCER 7. SANTA MARIA MEMORABILIA FEAT. ROLAND KAISER 8. LALA LA LA LALLA FEAT. ELIO E LE STORIE TESE (CORODEI POMPIERI) 9. SHERIFF FEAT. DAVID HASSELHOFF 10. WE BELIEVE IN LOVE FEAT. ELHAIDA DANI

Sie kann durchaus spielen, aber ich mag dieses Show-Gehabe aussenrum auch nicht.

Und Roland Kaiser. Der dürfte wieder bei Santa Maria dabei sein. Wobei dabei sein wohl großzügiger ausgelegt werden muss. Zumindest der Gesang bei Dune Buggy scheint von den Brüdern nicht neu aufgenommen worden zu sein. Ob Roland Kaiser dann Santa Maria neu gesungen hat oder ob nicht auch nur die alten Aufnahmen mit neuer Musik unterlegt wurden, wird sich spätestens im Oktober zeigen. Ich vermute mal, dass er mit den Oliver Onions zusammen zu hören sein wird. Und nicht vergessen, auch Tina Guo aus Hans Zimmers Band ist dabei.

Und nun kann das neue Album auch vorbestellt werden. Wie erwartet besteht es hauptsächlich aus Neuaufnahmen alter Klassiker.

Ebenfalls vom neuen Album, eine neue Version von „Dune Buggy".

Snow Files of the Week: „Raga Shave/Scully's Tattoo", from „The X-Files", Episode „Never Again" (1997). In dieser Folge steht nun Dana Scully im Mittelpunkt. Frustriert von ihrem Leben und wie ihre Karriere verläuft, trifft sie Ed Jerse. Kurz zuvor ging seine Ehe den Bach hinunter und er hat sich ein Tattoo einer Frau, die über ihre Schulter blickt, mit der Schrift „Never Again" tätowieren lassen. Doch dieses Tattoo führt ein dämonisches Eigenleben. Es spricht zu ihm und unter seinem Einfluss begeht er einen Mord. Scully weiß nichts davon, als sie in Ed einen Seelenverwandten sieht, dessen Leben ebenfalls an einem Scheideweg steht. Ed überzeugt Scully, sich ebenfalls ein Tattoo stechen zu lassen. Es wird ein Ouroboros, kurioserweise das Zeichen der MillenniuM-Gruppe aus Chris Carters zweiter Serie, die zu diesem Zeitpunkt in ihrer ersten Staffel lief. Doch Eds Tattoo wird eifersüchtig auf Scully und drängt ihn immer wieder dazu, auch sie zu ermorden. Das eigentliche Hauptthema der Folge ist eines der ungewöhnlichsten der ganzen Serie. Und eines der prägnantesten. Und es ist nicht von Mark Snow. Snows Music Editor Jeff Charbonneau, der auch immer wieder als Arrangeur und mit zusätzlicher Musik bei Snow aushalf, komponierte dieses Stück, welches zum Leitmotiv für die ganze Folge wurde. Die Stimme von Eds Tattoo ist im Original übrigens niemand geringeres als Jodie Foster. Das Stück stammt vom vierten Set von LLL, welches auf 2.000 Stück limitiert ist. Viel Spaß beim Hören!

Kurzer Einschub: Jetzt fehlt noch die Musik aus der Zeichentrickserie THE REAL GHOSTBUSTERS.

Bei mir ist es bisher auch nur ein Seitenteil, welches sich leicht löst. Ansonsten ist die Box noch tip-top.

Erscheint auch als Vinyl und MC. Und das erste Album MOSS WANTED wird ebenfalls auf CD nachgereicht.
