Veröffentlichung Perseverance: "Freeing the Waters" (Hertzog) und "An Homage to the 80´s"

[Alexander Grodzinski]

Perseverance hat zwei neue Titel im Angebot, die sie allerdings nicht selbst produziert haben. Der eine ist das Album "Freeing the Waters" von Paul Hertzog (Bloodsport, Kickboxer), den es schon länger regulär zu kaufen gibt, der andere "An Homage to the 80´s" von den mir unbekannten Silentsphere Studios. Beides keine Filmmusik. "Freeing the Waters" habe ich mir bereits letztes Jahr gekauft, eine nette Ergänzung zu Hertzogs "Bloodsport" und "Kickboxer", aber nichts Essentielles, weshalb es hier auch bestimmt keinen interessieren wird, aber der Vollständigkeit halber sei es erwähnt.

Two New Synthesizer Albums

The first one of these two CDs (both not on Perseverance Records) is the new album by Kickboxer and Bloodsport composer Paul Hertzog. And it's terrific!

The second is also an instrumental album, featuring music inspired by the classic 80's synth scores of the likes of Harold Faltermeyer, Tangerine Dream, Giorgio Moroder and John Carpenter.

We offer both albums at the incredibly low price of $11.95 each. Both titles are limited editions.

The new album from the composer of Kickboxer and Bloodsport.

From the liner notes: "The first of these songs to be written, 'Freeing the Waters,' was composed in 1987, right after I finished scoring Bloodsport. The final song written, 'Sue Across the Sea,' was composed in 1991, just before I left the film and music businesses to 'disappear off the face of the planet.' I started the project as a way to keep myself occupied between jobs. I fully expected when I started that some of these ideas would find themselves in films some day. But such was not to be.

Since 1991, these tunes have existed in a sort of virtual half-life as nothing more than midi data. A couple of years ago, I finally acquired the technology to record at home myself, and at last this music is recorded and available. When possible, I have retained the sounds that I used when composing, but I have updated some sounds with modern digital samples: the piano, snare, toms, some (but not all) of the orchestral instruments. I am amazed that my primitive gear holds its own against the modern stuff.

Because this music was written during those few tears of my career as a film composer, I hope that fans of my film music will discover this collection for a sample of possible film score material that never made its way into a film.

Limited Edition of 1000 units. The first 100 CDs will be autographed by the composer.

If you like classic Eighties synthesizer scores from the likes of Harold Faltermeyer, Tangerine Dream and John Carpenter, this CD is for you! Produced and released by the German band Silentsphere Studios, this album features over 45 minutes of vintage synth music. In fact, it's so good that we just couldn't resist putting it into our store. It's not a film score, but rather the soundtrack to an imaginary movie that can play in your mind while you are listening to the very catchy themes.

This is a studio-produced CDR.

Hatte Perseverance nicht vor wenigen Wochen ein "big announcement" in Aussicht gestellt?

[Souchak]

Das ist doch schon... verdammt... big, oder?

[Alexander Grodzinski]

Ich glaube nicht, dass mit dem big announcement diese beiden Titel gemeint waren.......IT von Richard Bellis wurde doch verschoben, es wird ja gemunkelt, dass der von Perseverance kommt.

[Handstand]

Das "big announcement" dürfte wohl der erste Teil dieser Email sein:

Bevor jemand enttäuscht wird: Dort werden (noch) keine Titel (außer den beiden hier schon aufgeführten) genannt, die veröffentlicht werden sollen.
