Zu MIAMI VICE scheint zumindest Jan Hammer selbst nichts mehr zu haben. Ich erinnere mich nur daran gelesen zu haben, dass er auf Nachfrage einmal antwortete, dass seine Tapes in der Zwischenzeit alle unbrauchbar geworden sind.

Neu von Quartet: Quartet Records, in collaboration with Paramount Pictures, presents a remastered, expanded edition of Mark Isham’s distinguished, moving score for THE BROWNING VERSION. The 1994 film was directed by Mike Figgis, produced by Ridley Scott and based on a famous play by Terence Rattigan, which had already been seen several times on television and in cinemas, the most famous adaptation being the 1951 film starring Michael Redgrave. The story is about an embittered, disliked teacher of Greek and Latin at a British school (masterfully interpreted by Albert Finney). After nearly 20 years of service, he is being forced to retire on the pretext of his health and might not even receive a pension. The boys regard him as a “Hitler of the Lower Fifth”—with some justification. His wife, Laura (Greta Scacchi), is unfaithful with another young teacher (Matthew Modine), and lives to wound him any way she can. He must come to terms with his failed life and regain at least his own self-respect. Although director and composer Mike Figgis had previously written a score for the film, producer Ridley Scott felt that an outside voice was needed to enhance the story. Mark Isham, with a jazz sensibility close to Figgis’, was asked to write a spare, heartfelt and highly dramatic symphonic score—one of the last recorded at CTS Studios in London. Celebrating the film’s 30th anniversary, this edition includes all the music recorded by Mark Isham for the film, including revised and alternate cues. Produced by Dan Goldwasser, the album has been mastered by Chris Malone from first-generation tapes transferred in high resolution. The package includes liner notes by Jeff Bond, based, in part, on a new interview with Mark Isham. 1. In Founder’s Court 1:33 2. Make Way For Mr. Harris* 0:43 3. Taplow 1:17 4. Cromwells 1:51 5.

The film is about two parentless Irish siblings who arrive in New York City via an ocean liner and quickly find themselves on a wild, cross-country journey aboard an orphan train where they meet an extraordinary new friend who will change their lives forever. Fueled by curiosity, friendship and teamwork, their dangerous and discovery-filled quest will introduce them to devious villains, unexpected heroes and surprising adventures in their heart-warming and hilarious search for a home. Fernando Velázquez provides an impressive, full-epic symphonic western score, 60 minutes of pure film music composed as in the good old days. It’s an exciting, emotional score, meticulously performed under the baton of the composer. The music was recorded and mixed by Marc Blanes, and the CD mastered by Chris Malone.

The film is a fictionalized biography of the world’s most famous sexual and physical pervert: Marquis De Sade, who was notorious for his sadistic behavior. The film stars Keir Dullea as the Marquis, Senta Berger, Lilli Palmer and John Huston. Legendary musician and arranger Billy Strange, a frequent collaborator with Nancy Sinatra and the composer of such hits as “A Little Less Conversation,” was an unusual choice for DE SADE. Despite being a much sought-after musician, Strange had few film credits. He had written the eponymous theme song to “Baby The Rain Must Fall” and arranged the single version of Nancy Sinatra’s “You Only Live Twice,” but otherwise he was a newcomer to the film scoring scene. That kind of inexperience was exactly what AIP was looking for, as they wanted something fresh and unexpected for one of their most ambitious films to date. With the full support of AIP’s experienced music department (and tips from industry veteran Les Baxter), Strange created an exciting blend of symphonic pseudo-classical music juxtaposed with contemporary pop-psychedelia for the numerous extended orgy sequences. The music was recorded by the Berlin Symphony Orchestra conducted by Strange himself. The original LP of DE SADE was released by Tower Records, a subsidiary of Capitol Records, but the original soundtrack only contained selected highlights from the score, with some cues arranged especially for the album, and it certainly didn’t do justice to Billy Strange’s efforts. Now, on this 80-minute CD, with the music remixed and mastered by Chris Malone from the 8″ multitrack preserved in mint condition in the MGM vaults, the ambitious and lavish score can be heard in all its glory. The package includes exclusive, in-depth liner notes by the much-missed Gergely Hubai—some of the last work he did for us. The score was one of his personal favorites, and he gathered a great amount of information in his research, which he then poured into his always efficient liner notes. 1.

Bacchanalia (Album Version) (3:17) Total Disc Time: 79:12 Quartet Records, in collaboration with Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer, presents the world premiere release of two 70s killer-animals exploitation film scores from the vaults of American International Pictures. THE FOOD OF THE GODS was directed by Bert I. Gordon (“Mr. BIG”) in 1976. Loosely based on the novel by H.G. Wells, it concerns a group of friends who travel to a remote Canadian island to hunt, only to be attacked by giant killer rats that have populated the place. Elliott Kaplan, a trained and seasoned television composer who composed scores for episodes of Ironside, Alfred Hitchcock Presents, Fantasy Island and Banacek, wrote a highly sophisticated, Impressionistic score, blending orchestra with Moog synthesizers to create an unnerving atmosphere for the movie, reminiscent of both Leonard Rosenman and the more experimental Jerry Goldsmith. FROGS, directed by George McCowan in 1972 and starring Ray Milland, was a funny film about another group of helpless victims celebrating a birthday on an island estate crawling with killer frogs, birds, insects and reptiles. The score was done by AIP’s main composer, Les Baxter, successful writer of Exotica music, and responsible for the lavish scores for Roger Corman’s Edgar Allan Poe–based films. Baxter offered a brief but unusual score and broke new ground by performing it entirely on a Moog synthesizer provided by recording engineer Joe Sidore. FROGS was one of Les Baxter’s final film scores, but he and composers like Elliott Kaplan added immeasurably to the rich and wild legacy of ’70s exploitation filmmaking. This album has been produced, mixed and mastered by Chris Malone from original stereo elements vaulted at MGM in mint condition. The package includes exclusive, in-depth liner notes by author Jeff Bond. THE FOOD OF THE GODS 1. Main Title From The Food Of The Gods 1:25 2. Island Approach / Wasps 3:17 3.

Ich finde auch, dass der Score in der erweiterten Fassung viel gewinnt. Klar ist hier im wahrsten Sinne des Wortes viel Gewaber dabei (was Alan Howarth durch das Hinzufügen eines Nebelhorns aufzulockern versucht), aber die Musik kriecht kalt wie der titelgebenden Nebel durch die Gehörgänge. Für mich im Herbst immer wieder gern gehört. Der Score verbreitet einfach eine herbstlich-schaurige Atmosphäre.

Das mit dem 90 Tagen wird sicherlich vertragliche Gründe haben. Damit LLL das wohl überhaupt machen durfte. Schade ist, dass es „nur" eine Wiederveröffentlichung des Albums ist ohne neue Tracks.

Snow Files of the Week: "Journey North/Northern Lights" aus "MillenniuM", Episode "Luminary" (1997). Eine weitere sehr beliebte Folge unter Fans. Dieses Mal verschlägt es Frank Black nach Alaska auf der Suche nach einem vermissten jungen Mann. Eine Leiche wurde bereits gefunden, die vermeintlich der vermisste Mann ist, aber Frank spürt, dass da mehr dahinter steckt und dass der Mann noch lebt. Also macht er sich alleine auf, um die Wildnis Alaskas nach dem Mann zu durchsuchen. Mark komponierte für die Episode einen seiner herausragensten Scores der Serie. Die Musik reicht von eher folkigen Einschlägen mit Flöten- und Gitarren-Samples, bis hin zu sphärischen Klängen mit Chor, die die Szenen in der Nacht untermalen, in der Frank Zeuge des nördlichen Wetterleuchtens wird. Die Musik wurde auf dem zweiten Set von LLL veröffentlicht. Das Set ist auf 2.000 Exemplare limitiert und ausverkauft. Viel Spaß beim Hören!

Remastered and expanded edition. 12-page CD booklet with French and English liner notes by Gérard Dastugue. Limited edition of 500 units. In collaboration with BMG, Music Box Records proudly presents three original motion picture soundtracks composed by Philippe Sarde between 1981 and 1984: Le Choix des armes (Choice of Arms), Garçon ! (Waiter!) and La Garce (The Man Hunt). The three scores presented here, including the world premiere release of La Garce, pay tribute to the brilliant collaboration between Philippe Sarde and orchestrator Peter Knight, of which Tess and Quest for Fire are among the greatest examples. At that period, Knight will become Sarde’s privileged working partner, one who could match his overflowing creativity. For Choice of Arms (1981), director Alain Corneau wanted to find a balance between American thrillers and the great tradition of French film noir. Sarde hired two virtuoso Afro-American jazz double basses (Ron Carter and Buster Williams) combined with the opulent and lyrical sound of the London Symphony Orchestra with its Ravelian reflections. The score is presented from a newly mastered high-resolution transfer of the stereo album master, offering superior audio. For Garçon ! (1983), this new release presents the slighty expanded flamboyant score, emphasizing one of his iconic collaborations with director Claude Sautet. For La Garce (directed by Christine Pascal in 1984), the darkly intimate score performed by saxophonist Phil Woods, accordionist Gilbert Roussel and the Chilingirian String Quartet, builds a bridge between the codes of Hollywood film noir and those of French poetic realism. Supervised by Philippe Sarde, the program has been assembled by Édouard Dubois and fully remastered from the original master tapes. The package includes a 12-page booklet featuring exclusive liner notes by writer Gérard Dastugue discussing the films and the scores. The CD release is limited to 500 units. LE CHOIX DES ARMES 1.

Snow Files of the Week: "Prayer/Suicide Exam" aus der Akte-X-Episode "Die Hand Die Verletzt". Ein herausragender Score in der Serie von Snow. Die Geschichte um satanische Rituale, Glaube und Besessenheit inspirierte Mark zu diesem düsteren Gothic-Score. Die brodelnde Ambient-Musik erschafft die passende Atmosphäre für die unheimlichen Ereignisse an einer High School. Mark benutzt sogar düstere Chorgesänge in seiner Musik und verleiht dem Score damit einen hohen Wiedererkennungswert innerhalb der Serie. Die Zeile "Die Hand Die Verletzt" ist in der Episode gleich am Anfang zu hören in dem satanischen Gebet, welches die Lehrer sprechen. Obwohl der Original-Titel der Episode mit "Die Hand Die Verletzt" schon deutsch ist, bekam die Folge hierzulande einen anderen Titel. Bei uns heißt sie "Satan". Musik aus "Die Hand Die Verletzt" befindet sich auf dem zweiten 4-CD-Set mit Akte-X-Musik von LLL, limitiert auf 3000 Stück. Das Set ist ausverkauft. Viel Spaß beim Hören!

Vermutlich. Ich habe die Filme nur auf Blu-ray und da sind eben bei KROKODIL und HIMMELHUNDE die Titeleinblendungen auf deutsch (bei KROKODIL ist der Titel deutsch, die restlichen Credits sind italienisch). HECTOR erschien auch nicht bei 3L, sondern LEONINE. 3L hat eben die veröffentlicht, an denen sie die Rechte hatten. Bei HECTOR ist auch der Titel auf deutsch, die restlichen Credits italienisch. Bei RAND UND BAND sind die Credits komplett italienisch.

40 Euro ist mir dafür eigentlich auch zu viel. Zumal alle Cover, außer die mit den Kinomotiven, echt häßlich sind. Und die Kinomotive sind natürlich schon ausverkauft.

Als kurzer Einwurf sei noch erwähnt, dass das kleine Label Retro Gold 63 die beiden Filme DAS KROKODIL UND SEIN NILPFERD und ZWEI HIMMELHUNDE AUF DEM WEG ZUR HÖLLE im November je als Blu-ray-Mediabook veröffentlicht. Das Besondere daran ist, dass ein neues Master zum Einsatz kam. Als das Label 3L vor vielen Jahren anfing, die Spencer/Hill-Filme auf Blu-ray zu veröffentlichen, hatten sie für diese beiden Filme keinen Zugriff auf das italienische Master. Es wurden daher deutsche Kinokopien verwendet, die natürlich qualitativ schlechter waren als das originale Master. Besonders bei den Himmelhunden ist das deutlich zu sehen. Die Blu-ray-Version ist an vielen Stellen stark verrauscht und auch die Farben sehen oft unnatürlich gesättigt aus, worunter auch insgesamt die Bildschärfe immer wieder leidet. Im Vergleich sieht sogar die DVD besser aus. Der Grund, dass man damals die italienischen Master nicht verwenden konnte, war ein, zumindest damals, noch andauernder Rechtsstreit in Italien. Ob dieser nun beigelegt ist, weiß ich leider nicht, aber scheinbar konnte nun wohl ein italienisches Master erstellt werden. Ähnlich wie bei der Musik ist wohl auch die Rechtelage bei dem Filmen nicht immer so einfach. Das ist sicherlich auch ein Grund, warum mittlerweile zwar fast alle Spencer/Hill-Filme auf Blu-ray veröffentlicht wurden, aber der Spencer-Solofilm ALADIN bisher nur als DVD erhältlich ist. Das war damals eine Cannon-Produktion und scheinbar gibt es auch da bei Veröffentlichungen immer wieder mal Schwierigkeiten, auch, was nicht mehr auffindbare Master betrifft. Es gibt eine spanische Bootleg-Blu-ray, aber eine offizielle Veröffentlichung wäre schon schön. Nächste Woche erscheint sogar die TV-Serie ZWEI SUPERTYPEN IN MIAMI auf Blu-ray, also sollte das doch für die Kinoproduktion ALADIN auch noch drin sein.

Scheinbar kommt auch was zu STAR TREK. Vielleicht zieht LLL den Black Friday vor.

Heute von LLL: Da heute vor 60 Jahren GOLDFINGER in die Kinos kam und wohl auch die Schriftart die des Kinoplakates ist, kommt der Score wohl am 01.10. von LLL.

DAS KROKODIL UND SEIN NILPFERD wird in der erweiterten Version nun auch auf Vinyl erscheinen. It was 1979, and I was barely 5 years old. Some memories are impressed on my mind with a sort of solarized texture, like in the photographs of the period, full of icons and myths. My father Franco and mother Luciana were like crazy pinballs, touring the world: America, France and Germany were the sides against which they continuously bumped and Italy's capital the hole to which they always returned. I was really young, but I remember very well the period in which my father worked on this little jewel, produced and shot with great love and poetry by Mr. Zingarelli. I remember Italo, a large guy who made an enormous impression on me: tall, with an imposing frame and often wearing a big beard that made him both tender and menacing, like an Italian version of Santa Claus. We owe a lot to this man who gave so much to Italian cinema, sensibly enriching our artistic fortune, sometimes, as in this case, with great irony and poetry. Shot in Africa in the late '70s, Io sto con gli ippopotami (aka I'm for the Hippopotamus), is a movie that in my imagination is just like Italo: humorously menacing and bulky, protective, awesome and sweet, a description that also fits the mascot of this delicious film, the hippopotamus. In this movie we feel the presence of its producer/director's poetry, often handed down with great passion and cheerfulness through his cinema. It's a simple message of love for nature, respect for the weaker and the duty to intervene when they are subjected to abuse. Everything is presented with disarming simplicity, as powerful as it is beautiful. You must confess that you were moved when Terence Hill, toward the end of the movie, delights himself with his friend-of-a-thousand- adventures Bud Spencer by watching the flight of the animals from Mr. Ormond's boat to the wonderful notes of "Freedom," where my father's harmonica together with the melody infuses the scene with an almost maternal sweetness. Well, we are all in debt to this big guy for his kind message and the clean, sparkling, soft and amusing sincerity that dwells there, among the lines of his cinema, apparently devoted to simple entertainment but so wonderfully deep and full of feeling.

Intrada presents the premiere release of composer Frédéric Talgorn's first film score: the 1989 MGM horror film Edge of Sanity. His approach to scoring the film, as with many of his scores after this first venture, comes from the orchestral tradition created by many film music legends. As he describes in the liner notes, “I’m from a mid-70s generation of people who discovered film music when John Williams put symphonic scoring back on the map. I realized the power of what you could do for the cinema with orchestral music thanks to composers like him, Jerry Goldsmith and Miklós Rózsa.” Bringing a fresh voice to a legacy of music scores sprawling decades behind him, Edge of Sanity brims with strong themes, fierce action, eerie suspense and even some brief moments of pastoral joy. Talgorn proved right out of the gate that he could bring a level of sophistication and artistry to any film he might score. Seemingly lost for decades until its recent discovery in DAT format by the composer, the breadth of the music’s brash, richly melodic transgression remains as wonderfully shocking as ever, no more so than to Talgorn. “When I listen now, I’m surprised by some of this music,” he remarks. “You write what you are, and my obsession was to write for an orchestra. I didn’t even think of doing anything else, because the greatest film music I knew was orchestral. The energy you feel in this score comes from that beginner’s enthusiasm because I wanted to show what I could do." This long overdue album was well worth the wait. Talgorn produced the album for Intrada, with Doug Schwartz responsible for mastering. The film presents a dark, twisted take on the classic tale of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde. Starring Anthony Perkins as the classic character, the film follows Dr. Jekyll, a troubled scientist who experiments with a new drug that unleashes his alter ego, the violent and depraved Mr. Hyde. As Hyde's rampages become increasingly brutal, Jekyll struggles to control his darker half while the film delves into themes of duality, madness, and the thin line between genius and insanity. The film combines elements of psychological horror with a gritty, atmospheric setting, offering a chilling exploration of the human psyche. THE SCORE 01. Opening Scene (2:45) 02.

Intrada announces a new, 2-CD expansion of James Newton Howard's beloved score to the Walt Disney animated feature Dinosaur (2000). The score was the first of three animated features Howard would score during that time for Disney, followed shortly thereafter by Atlantis and Treasure Planet. Originally released in a generous 51-minute program, this new Intrada release features the full score running some 82 minutes, featuring a wealth of new material previously only heard in the film. One of the absolute highlights is the entire opening sequence, relying primarily on music as there is no dialog. It's well over an hour of soaring themes, aggressive action music, comedic moments—everything you'd expect from a prehistoric dinosaur adventure. For this new release, Intrada was given access to the complete multi-track sessions stored at Disney, which were remixed by Chris Malone. Douglass Fake assembled the album program (one of the last projects he was able to personally produce before his passing). Fake was a huge fan of Newton Howard's work and was thrilled with the opportunity to revisit this epic work. He would have been proud of the final result. The film is a groundbreaking blend of traditional animation and computer-generated imagery. Directed by Eric Leighton and Ralph Zondag, the film follows the journey of an iguanodon named Aladar, who is raised by a family of lemurs after being orphaned. As he grows, Aladar and his adoptive family face the challenges of a changing world and struggle to survive against the backdrop of a dramatic asteroid collision. Dinosaur is notable for its innovative visual effects, which combine CGI dinosaurs with live-action backgrounds, creating a visually stunning and immersive prehistoric world. CD 1 THE SCORE 01.

Snow Files of the Week: "Gehenna Part I/Dylan/Gehenna Part II" aus "MillenniuM", Episode "Gehenna" (1996). "Gehenna" ist die zweite Folge der ersten Staffel. Das Wort "Gehenna" ist hebräisch und bedeutet so viel wie "Hölle". In dieser von Chris Carter selbst geschriebenen Folge geht es um den Anführer einer Sekte, der abtrünnige Mitglieder in einem großem Industrie-Ofen bei lebendigem Leib verbrennt. Mark Snow benutzt das Hauptthema relativ oft in seinem Score. "Gehenna Part I" beginnt dann auch mit einer wundervollen Variation des Themas, als Frank Black seine Tochter Jordan im Bett mit ihrer Decke zudeckt. Die Musik begleitet dann einen Kollegen von Frank, der den Industrie-Ofen in einem Lagerhaus entdeckt und beinahe selbst darin umkommt. Das Stück "Dylan" spielt während einer Verhör-Szene, als Frank mit einem jungen Mann über das "Gesicht der Bestie" und den "Roten Regen" spricht. "Gehenna Part II" ist dann die letzte Szene der Folge, als Frank mit seiner Frau Catherine im Krankenhaus ist und zu ihr sagt, dass er sich unsicher darüber ist, ob man den "bösen Mann" überhaupt jemals schnappen kann. Diese Tracks erschienen auf dem zweiten Doppel-CD-Set von LLL, limitiert auf 2.000 Stück. Das Set ist mittlerweile ausverkauft. Viel Spaß beim Hören!

Once again, engineer Jerry Lambert and album co-producer Brian Satterwhite, under supervision of Manfredini, have brilliantly restored and remixed the music with results nothing short of astounding! The score is richer, bolder and as unstoppable as Jason himself! Included in this deluxe assembly is music NEVER before released!
