Veröffentlichung La-La Land Records: Basil Poledouris - FLESH AND BLOOD

[horner1980]

When asked if one would be interested in reissuing a score by Basil Poledouris to film directed by Paul Verhoeven the answer is always a resounding -- YES!

FLESH AND BLOOD

MUSIC BY BASIL POLEDOURIS

LIMITED EDITION OF 1200 UNITS

LLLCD 1293

RETAIL PRICE: $19.98

PRODUCED BY FORD A THAXTON

MASTERED BY JAMES NELSON

LINER NOTES BY RANDALL D. LARSON

ART DIRECTION BY MARK BANNING

MGM and La-La Land Records are proud to present the “RE-re-reissue” of one of Mr. Poledouris’ finest scores – FLESH AND BLOOD. If you are a previous owner of this magnificent score there is absolutely no need whatsoever for you to purchase this score again (unless you are a label completest). However, if you did not get the chance to purchase this amazing score – a score much in the vein of the composer’s Conan music -- then I highly recommend buying this muscular action fantasy extravaganza! While retaining the Intrada releases running order, the new album’s producer (Ford A. Thaxton) along with the mastering engineer (James Nelson) have tweaked the sound to their liking. New liner notes by Randall D. Larson have also been added to this release. Previous releases of Poledouris’ FLESH + BLOOD have featured album notes incorporating comprehensive analysis of the film’s musical score in detail. Rather than rework the same type of commentary here, Larson decided to let Mr. Poledouris speak for himself. He went back to the original interview that he and David Kraft did with Mr. Poledouris at his home on May 19, 1985, which to our knowledge was the only detailed contemporary interview he gave on the subject of this film. Much of that lengthy conversation has remained unpublished until now. Classy art direction by Mark Banning is the cherry on top.

If you don’t have this magnificent score now is your chance to snatch it up! It’s one of Mr. Poledouris’ best works!

Last but not least we will have SIGNED COPIES of Bear McCreary’s latest opus:

Taugt der was?

Würde mich ja schon reizen... Alles was ich bisher von Poledouris habe gefällt mir auch recht gut.

Was kennst Du denn bisher?

[Eisselmann]

Ich habe Starship Troopers, RoboCop, den schandvollen RoboCop 3, Conan... ja, soweit.

Naja, dann ist FLESH AND BLOOD ja nicht ganz verkehrt...

[Eisselmann]

Oh je... das schöne Geld!

[Thomas Nofz]

Der taugt auf jeden Fall was, Eisselmann... sozusagen: CONAN im Mittelalter.

[Iluimu]

Ich sage nur Kaufen !!!! Roh Brachial macht Spass

[Eisselmann]

Uah, geilo.

Danke für Eure Meinungen. ))

Und der Film? Auch zu gebrauchen oder eher meh?

Also ich meine: gut oder eher schlecht gealtert?

Habe den noch nie gesehen und wäre ja schon interessiert...

[Alexander Grodzinski]

Uah, geilo. Danke für Eure Meinungen. )) Und der Film? Auch zu gebrauchen oder eher meh? Also ich meine: gut oder eher schlecht gealtert? Habe den noch nie gesehen und wäre ja schon interessiert...

Ich fand ihn als Film über das "dreckige" Mittelalter schon ganz ok. Dabei sollte man aber keine getreue Verfilmung erwarten. Der Film dreht sich größtenteils um die Gruppe von Rutger Hauer und wie Verrat und die Gier nach Macht langsam aber sicher diese zerstört. Für einen Verhoeven-Film ist er relativ unblutig (es gibt natürlich ein paar Szenen, aber das ist alles nichts verglichen mit späteren Werken von ihm). Der Film fällt zwischendrin ein wenig ab und große Schlachtenszenen sollte man auch nicht erwarten. Im Großen und Ganzen fand ich ihn ok, aber er ist für mich, neben HOLLOW MAN und SHOWGIRLS, der schwächste Verhoeven-Film, den ich kenne.

 

Der Film stand bis letztes Jahr auf dem Index (warscheinlich auch wegen der doch sehr langen und expliziten Vergewaltigungsszene), ist seitdem aber als DVD und Blu-ray in einer FSK-18-Freigabe überall erhältlich.

FLESH + BLOOD: LIMITED EDITION LLLCD 1293

Music by Basil Poledouris

Limited Edition of 1200 Units

ORDER “FLESH + BLOOD: LIMITED EDITION” starting Feb 11 at 12pm PST at www.lalalandrecords.com

La-La Land Records and MGM present the remastered re-issue of renowned composer Basil Poledouris’ (CONAN THE BARBARIAN, ROBOCOP, THE HUNT FOR RED OCTOBER) original motion picture score to the 1985 medieval-set action/drama FLESH + BLOOD, starring Rutger Hauer, Jennifer Jason Leigh and Jack Thompson, and directed by Paul Verhoeven. Considered to be one of his best works, Poledouris’ bold score continues in his CONAN tradition – and it’s an absolute powerhouse! Essentially, a release for those who weren’t fortunate enough to obtain it previously, this re-issue produced by Ford A. Thaxton and remastered by James Nelson, is a must-have for any film music enthusiast who missed out on grabbing it. Film music writer Randall Larson eschews re-counting ground already covered extensively in previous editions of the soundtrack and instead focuses on an interview he and David Kraft conducted with Poledouris, in the composer’s home, on May 19, 1985. To our knowledge, this is the only detailed, contemporary interview Poledouris gave on this score and much of this lengthy conversation had remained unpublished… until now. Majestic art direction by Mark Banning rounds out this exciting presentation. This is a Limited Edition of 1200 Units.
