Von BSX kam vor ein paar Tagen Rick Pattersons Return Of The Killer Tomatoes aus dem Jahr 1988. 30 Minuten lang, nur vier Tracks. Da fühlte ich mich doch gleich an die ollen Edel-Cannon-CDs erinnert. Der erste Track enthält das Songmaterial, der Rest ist der jazzige/elektronische Score von Patterson. Fans der 80'er könnten einmal reinhören. Klingt besser als vermutet. Ein paar Gimmicks (Pate) sind vorhanden. Patterson kannte ich nur durch seinen gelungenen Sport-Score A Minor Miracle aus der Handtasche von Varèse. Laut Ford Thaxton ist er schon Ende der 90'er verstorben.

Von Buysoundtrax kommt außerdem eine remasterte Neuauflage von Tangerine Dreams Musik für The Park Is Mine auf CD.

Zitat

BuySoundtrax Records presents the soundtrack release of THE PARK IS MINE, featuring music composed by Tangerine Dream (SORCERER, THIEF, RISKY BUSINESS) for the 1985 action drama directed by Steven Hilliard Stern (THE GHOST OF FLIGHT 401, MAZES AND MONSTERS, DRAW!), based on the novel by Stephen Peters and starring Tommy Lee Jones, Helen Shaver, Yaphet Kotto, Lawrence Dane, Peter Dvorsky, Eric Peterson, Gale Garnett, Denis Simpson, Reg Dreger, Louis Di Bianco, Carl Marotte and Dennis O’Connor.

Airing on HBO in 1985 and notable for being the first movie made for the cable channel, THE PARK IS MINE tells the story of Mitch Garnett (Jones), a Vietnam veteran who is bequeathed an arsenal of military weapons and a series of complex plans to take over and occupy Central Park in New York City. Fired-up by his frustrations with the federal government’s neglect of its military veterans, Garnett picks up where his recently deceased friend left off and carries out his plans to fruition, successfully emptying and securing all 843 acres of Central Park (without causing harm to civilians). Garnett plans to get his message out to the public via the local news agencies—stay out of the area for seventy-two hours, after which he will relinquish the park and peacefully turn himself over to the authorities. Meanwhile, Eubanks (Kotto), a tenacious police sergeant schemes to forcefully expunge Garnett from the park grounds and return the sanctuary to the city before Garnett’s self-imposed deadline expires.

The music for THE PARK IS MINE was composed by the pioneering German electronica band Tangerine Dream. Founded in 1967 by Edgar Froese, Tangerine Dream is a ground-breaking musical act that veered away from the influence of traditional Anglo-American rock/pop and instead relied upon hypnotic rhythms, sustained drones, musique concrète, tape-music looping techniques, and the proliferation of early synthesizers. For THE PARK IS MINE, the band included the classic lineup of Edgar Froese, Christopher Franke, and Johannes Schmoelling. After completing THE PARK IS MINE, Tangerine Dream would continue to score many Hollywood pictures including SHY PEOPLE, NEAR DARK, THREE O’CLOCK HIGH, MIRACLE MILE, DEAD SOLID PERFECT, CATCH ME IF YOU CAN, RAINBOW DRIVE and THE MAN INSIDE. Throughout their seven-decade existence (which continues to this day) the band has released over eighty-five studio, extended play, or mini albums, fifty-two motion picture scores, and a handful of episodic television or video game scores.

An early compact disc release and very scarce, BuySoundtrax Records is excited to bring THE PARK IS MINE back to the marketplace, remastered by James Nelson at Digital Outland from the best available elements. The booklet includes exclusive liner notes written by author and composer Brian Satterwhite.

THE PARK IS MINE is a limited edition release of 500 units. THE PARK IS MINE is expected to begin shipping the week of 7/14/2022.

Dragon's Domain im August: Craig Safans Over Her Dead Body aka Enid Is Sleeping (1990), 'The Peter Bernstein Collection Vol. 2' mit den TV-Scores Kicks (1985) und She Stood Alone - The Tailhook Scandal (1995) sowie Richard Bands Initiation: Silent Night, Bloody Night 4 (1990).

Zitat

Dragon’s Domain Records presents the world premiere release of the soundtrack for OVER HER DEAD BODY, featuring music composed by Craig Safan (THE LAST STARFIGHTER, REMO WILLIAMS: THE ADVENTURE BEGINS, THE LEGEND OF BILLIE JEAN), written and directed by Maurice Phillips, A.J. Tipping and James Whaley, starring Elizabeth Perkins, Judge Reinhold, Jeffrey Jones, Maureen Mueller, Rhea Perlman, Henry Jones, Michael J. Pollard and Brion James.

Released in 1990, OVER HER DEAD BODY, also known as ENID IS SLEEPING, revolves around two sisters named Enid (Mueller) and June (Perkins). Enid is shackled to Harry (Reinhold) in an unloving marriage and returns home one day to find her husband in bed with her June. In a fit of violent rage, Enid whips out Harry’s pistol preparing to fire when June smashes a vase over her head, apparently killing her stone dead. In a state of guilt-stricken panic, the pair conspire to make it look like Enid’s death was an unfortunate accident. Like WEEKEND AT BERNIES, hijinks ensue when Harry’s partner Floyd (Jones) unwittingly becomes involved. 

The wonderfully off-kilter and eclectic music for OVER HER DEAD BODY was composed by Craig Safan, known for composing quirky and unique scores, often with unpredictable combinations of instruments that defy expectations and barricade conventions. The score was recorded at The Village Recorder in Los Angeles with Joel Moss engineering the sessions.

Emmy-nominated and eight-time ASCAP award-winning composer Craig Safan has scored more than one hundred feature films, television and documentaries, has had more than 50 soundtrack albums of his music produced, as well as having three original albums of his own impressionistic music released. He’s been commissioned to compose for ballet as well as for live performance of silent films and was given the Poledouris Film Music Legend Award at the 2014 International Film Music Festival in Cordoba, Spain.

Dragon’s Domain Records presents the premiere release of OVER HER DEAD BODY on compact disc, featuring Craig Safan’s music mastered by James Nelson of Digital Outland. The booklet contains liner notes written by author and composer Brian Satterwhite and includes comments from the composer.

OVER HER DEAD BODY is a limited edition release of 500 units. The first 50 copies sold will be autographed by composer Craig Safan.

Dragon’s Domain Records presents THE PETER BERNSTEIN COLLECTION, VOLUME 2 , featuring music composed by Peter Bernstein for two projects from his filmography, KICKS and SHE STOOD ALONE: THE TAILHOOK SCANDAL.

Released in 1985, KICKS was a television movie produced by ABC Circle Films, directed by William Wiard, written by David Levinson and starring Anthony Geary, Shelley Hack, Tom Mason, Ian Abercrombie, Susan Rutan and James Avery. KICKS tell s the story of Martin (Geary), a wealth man living life on the edge by engaging in dangerous life-threatening activities. Martin becomes involved with Maggie (Hack), a university professor who has the same proclivities. Martin and Maggie start playing games to feed their dangerous addictions, games with ever escalating stakes. During one of these games, a staged robbery, a guard is killed, shaking Maggie back to a frightening reality. When she tries to confess the crime, Martin turns on her and begins to hunt her. If she wants to survive, she’s going to have to rely on her wits.

KICKS was Bernstein’s ninth film and third TV movie score, following 1984’s THE EWOK ADVENTURE and preceding MY SCIENCE PROJECT and EWOKS: THE BATTLE OF ENDOR and others later in 1985. The score for KICKS is a blending of small orchestra and electronic elements. This score was recorded at Evergreen Studios in Burbank. Bernstein also produced an arrangement of the Paul Revere and the Raiders’ song “Kicks,” from which the film takes its name.

Airing on television in 1995, SHE STOOD ALONE: THE TAILHOOK SCANDAL was directed by Larry Shaw, written by Suzette Couture and starring Gail O’Grady, Bess Armstrong, Cameron Bancroft, Matt Clark, Hal Holbrook, James Marshall, Robert Urich and Rip Torn. SHE STOOD ALONE tells the story of Lt. Paula Coughlin (O’Grady) when she was assigned as an Admiral’s assistant at Tailhook, an annual US Navy convention held in Las Vegas. Attended predominantly by male officers who frequently get out of control like they are on leave, Coughlin is subjected to ‘The Gauntlet’, where she is man-handled and harassed relentlessly by these male officers. Refusing to be a silent victim, Coughlin fights for her rights and to bring her attackers to justice.

Bernstein was brought into this project through producer William Greenblatt, who he had worked with previously on NIGHTBREAKER and would work with again on TARGET EARTH. Bernstein’s score is very eloquent in its treatment, which featured a live group of musicians. The score is built around a noble main theme for brass, associated with Paula’s dedication to the Navy. In addition to the main theme for solo trumpet or French horn, several cues for marching snare and bass drums convey additional militaristic elements. The TAILHOOK score was recorded in Salt Lake City with a small orchestra, overdubbed in a few places by synths.

The son of Academy Award winning film composer Elmer Bernstein (THE MAN WITH THE GOLDEN ARM, THE TEN COMMANDMENTS, THE MAGNIFICENT SEVEN, TO KILL A MOCKINGBIRD, GHOSTBUSTERS), Peter Bernstein grew up around recording stages, watching his father work and absorbing as much as he could. His musical education began with piano lessons. He eventually decided he wanted to be a bass player and studied bass with Carol Kaye, a member of the legendary ‘Wrecking Crew’ group of LA studio musicians. Around the same time, Peter was also studying with pioneering electronic music composer Morton Subotnick. He began his professional career as a rock n’ roll bass player at age 14 and worked in the record business as a touring bass player, band member, session player, arranger and record producer for the next 20 years. As time passed it became clear that there was going to be more opportunity for him as a composer and Peter began by working for other composers as an orchestrator and arranger. He orchestrated all or part of almost all of his father’s scores from 1974-1986, while still working in the rock n roll record business. Orchestration credits from the era include ANIMAL HOUSE, TRADING PLACES and GHOSTBUSTERS, as well as the scored portions of Michael Jackson’s THRILLER video. His credits as composer include HOT DOG… THE MOVIE, BOLERO, THE EWOK ADVENTURE, MY SCIENCE PROJECT, EWOKS: THE BATTLE FOR ENDOR, THE ALAMO: THIRTEEN DAYS TO GLORY, FIFTY/FIFTY, CANADIAN BACON and PUPPET MASTER VS DEMONIC TOYS. For television, his credits include 21 JUMP STREET, BOOKER, FALLEN ANGELS, CHICAGO HOPE, ROUGH RIDERS, MOWGLI: THE NEW ADVENTURES OF THE JUNGLE BOOK and HONEY, I SHRUNK THE KIDS: THE TV SHOW.

Dragon’s Domain Records presents THE PETER BERNSTEIN COLLECTION, VOLUME 2, featuring music composed and produced by Peter Bernstein for KICKS and SHE STOOD ALONE: THE TAILHOOK SCANDAL, presented for the very first time on compact disc. The music has been mastered by James Nelson at Digital Outland and the liner notes have been written by noted author Randall Larson, with the participation of the composer.

THE PETER BERNSTEIN COLLECTION, VOLUME 2 is a limited edition release of 500 units. THE PETER BERNSTEIN COLLECTION, VOLUME 2 is expected to begin shipping the week of August 8, 2022. Composer Peter Bernstein will sign the first 50 copies of THE PETER BERNSTEIN COLLECTION, VOLUME 2 sold through the website.

Dragon’s Domain Records presents the original motion picture soundtrack release of SILENT NIGHT, DEADLY NIGHT 4: INITIATION, to be distributed through buysoundtrax.com. SILENT NIGHT, DEADLY NIGHT 4: INITIATION features music composed by Richard Band for the 1990 horror film directed by Brian Yuzna (RE-ANIMATOR, SOCIETY, THE DENTIST), written by Zeph E. Daniel, Richard N. Gladstein and Arthur Gorson, starring Clint Howard, Neith Hunter, Tommy Hinkley, Hugh Fink, Richard N. Gladstein, Reggie Bannister, Allyce Beasley and Maud Adams.

SILENT NIGHT, DEADLY NIGHT 4: INITIATION is the third sequel to the original SILENT NIGHT, DEADLY NIGHT, which was released in 1984. The plot revolvedaround a young boy named Billy Chapman whose parents were brutally murdered by a drunken dime-store Santa Claus on the way home from visiting Billy’s grandfather. The orphaned boy lives out his childhood raised by Catholic nuns who continue to foster his fear of Santa Claus. Eventually teenage Billy snaps, dresses up as Santa Claus, and begins slaughtering people during the Christmas season.

SILENT NIGHT, DEADLY NIGHT 4: INITIATION was released on home video in 1990. Abandoning all previous characters and plot points from the previous three films, INITIATION tells the story of Kim Levitt (Hunter), an aspiring journalist who writes for an LA newspaper as a classified ads editor. Her boss Eli (Bannister) seems to favor and promote only her male co-workers. When a woman shows up burnt to a crisp on the sidewalk, Kim decides to pursue the story without her boss’s approval. Through her investigations, Kim is kidnapped by Ricky (Howard). Ricky and his coven of witches perform a secret ritual on Kim. Eventually, Kim escapes with Ricky in pursuit who tries to prevent her from uncovering all of their murder-cult exploitations.

The music for SILENT NIGHT, DEADLY NIGHT 4 was composed by Richard Band. His all-synth underscore is particularly unique for a Christmas horror film. In all honesty, the Christmas elements in the film are an afterthought and not a major catalyst in the inspiration behind the music. Band infuses his music with heaping helpings of percussion and include the use of the waterharp, a bowed metallic object sporting long tines with water in its base, which perfectly evoke the rituals and indoctrinations of an ancient cult.

Richard Band was born in Los Angeles on December 28, 1953. He is the son of film producer-director-writer Albert Band, 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.

As a composer, his work is extremely prolific and he has consistently evolved with the ever-changing needs and tastes of the entertainment industry. He has worked on over 140 film and TV projects and has had his works recorded with some of the most renowned orchestras in the world including the London Symphony Orchestra, the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra and the Rome Symphony Orchestra.

In addition to being a composer, Richard finds time to educate and mentor aspiring composers and musicians in all areas related to composition, the music industry and music production process. His knowledge and experience in film music, mastering, album producing, and intellectual property rights has proven to be invaluable to many.

Dragon’s Domain Records presents the original motion picture soundtrack to SILENT NIGHT, DEADLY NIGHT 4: INITIATION, mastered by James Nelson at Digital Outland. SILENT NIGHT, DEADLY NIGHT 4: INITIATION is a limited edition release of 500 units. SILENT NIGHT, DEADLY NIGHT 4: INITIATION is expected to begin shipping the week of August 8th, 2022.

KILLER KLOWNS FROM OUTER SPACE have finally landed at Waxwork Records! After much anticipation, we are thrilled to present the official 1988 Original Motion Picture Soundtrack by John Massari for the very first time on vinyl! Would you believe someone if they told you a circus tent-shaped spaceship landed in your small town and was abducting your neighbors to store them in cotton candy cocoons? In this '80's cult classic, teens Mike Tobacco (Grant Cramer) and Debbie Stone (Suzanne Snyder) have to fight both the diabolical bozos and the local law enforcement's disbelief to save themselves and their community!

The original score to Killer Klowns From Outer Space is kicked off by the classic 80’s horror movie theme track, Killer Klowns (From Outer Space) by California punk band, The Dickies. The ‘nightmare merry-go-round’ continues with a smattering of menacing electronic brass sections, electric guitar, bombastic drum machine beats, & harpsichord combined with sci-fi synth elements to capture the ultra-specific origins of the antagonists. Massari's score to Klowns is a retro-synth joyride from start to finish featuring immediately recognizable cues from the beloved 80's cult-classic!

Kronos Records is proud to present a new title for our prestigious THE GOLD COLLECTION.  MOTORCYCLE GANG is a 1957 film directed by Edward L. Cahn and based on a story by Lou Rusoff. 

 

Nick, a troublemaker member of a motorcycle gang returns to town only to find his old pals have joined a supervised motorcycle club. Friction erupts between him and Randy, the new leader about this goody-goody setup, and about the charms of gang moll Terry. The film starred Anne Neyland as Terry, Steven Terrell as Randy and John Ashley in the role of Nick. Carl Switzer's (known as child actor in the role of Alfalfa) performance delivers some light hearts moments.

 

The music was written by prolific composer ALBERT GLASSER (THE MONSTER MAKER, THE CISKO KID RETURNS, THE GAY AMIGO, GRAN CANYON and VIKING WOMEN AND THE SEA SERPENT among others) who composed a big score fitting a class A Hollywood film of the Golden Age.

 

Glasser's score is an eclectic mixture of big band pieces for the more leisurely and toned down scenes and the big orchestra is left at handling the action, suspense the romance. Glasser was not only a world class composer, arranger and conductor but also had some of the finest musicians of his era at hand, easy said the drumming alone on this score is world class jazz swing going to rock and roll. This soundtrack really strikes a great balance between harmony, chill, suspense and big brass action!

 

This is the first time ever this score sees the light of day in any format and is limited to 300 copies worldwide, First come first served!

 

A true must for lovers of the Gold and Silver age of cinema and all Al Glasser aficionados!

Once again we are proud to present another beautiful and rather obscure but very precious gem for the THE KRONOS GOLD COLLECTION. 

 

THE PROUD AND DAMNED is a 1972 film, written and directed by Ferde Grofé Jr and starring the late Chuck Connors in the lead role. Also starring Aron Kincaid, José Greco, Henry Capps, Smokey Roberds, Peter Ford, Andres Marquis and Cesar Romero! The story takes place in 1870. Five ex-Confederate soldiers get embroiled in a foreign civil war south of the border. 

 

The music for THE PROUD AND DAMNED was composed an conducted by GENE KAUER & DOUGLAS M. LACKEY, a duo that scored a long string of films together, most notably Agent for H.A.R.M. (1966) Brother of the Wind (1973) Across The Great Divide (1977) and ADVENTURE FAMILY (1977).

 

Their music brought a really high level of excitement to this film with a very strong latin flavour to the score, primarily a Mexican flavour with a Hollywood flare.

 

It is an adventure score with lots of beautiful melodies, where the acoustic guitar plays a key role in both the action cues and the more romantic ones, underscoring the relationships and interactions of our Proud and Damned crew with the locals with whome they have formed a bond.

 

A very exciting release that was prevously never released in any format, making this yet another World Premier release by Kronos Records!  This release would have not been possible without the help of David Schecter and the Lackey Estate.  Our deepest appreciation and that of all those who buy this CD.

Music Box sind aus der Sommerpause zurück. Neu sind ein Album mit Claude Bollings Scores für die Jacques-Deray-Filme Netchaiev est de retour (1991) und On ne meurt que deux fois (1985) sowie eine CD mit Raymond Alessandrinis Kompositionen für die TV-Produktionen Le roi de Patagonie (1990) und Fabien de la Drôme (1983).

Newly remastered and expanded edition.
12-page CD booklet with French and English liner notes by Gilles Loison. 
Limited Edition of 500 units.

Music Box Records presents on the same CD two original motion picture soundtracks for Jacques Deray's films composed and conducted by Claude Bolling: On ne meurt que deux fois (He Died with His Eyes Open, 1985) and Netchaïev est de retour (Netchaïev Is Back, 1991).

Adapted from Robin Cook's novel by Michel Audiard, On ne meurt que deux fois tells the story of Detective Staniland (Michel Serrault) investigating the death of a pianist. While conducting his investigation, he meets Barbara (Charlotte Rambling), the mistress of the murder victim who confesses to the crime. In order to translate the mystery surrounding Serrault and Rampling’s characters, Bolling naturally thought of using the saxophone – the faithful companion of a film noir detective. He composed a score based on a shady theme introduced by two nebulous notes of bass flute and saxophone that evoke the cop roaming around. 

Netchaïev est de retour, adapted from Jorge Semprún’s novel, tells the story of the bitter reunion of Marroux (Yves Montand), director of the DST and Netchaïev (Vincent Lindon), his revolutionary son. Bolling composed a slow march theme accompanied by strings and woodwinds. The rest of the score is discreet and atmospheric mixing emotion and suspense. 

This present edition features the remastered original LP program for On ne meurt que deux fois and the expanded score for Netchaïev est de retour, remastered from the composer’s original master tapes. The package includes a 12-page booklet with liner notes by Gilles Loison, discussing the films and the scores.This is a limited edition of 500 units.

Remastered edition. Limited edition of 300 units.
8-page CD booklet with French and English liner notes by Gilles Loison.

In collaboration with Sony Music Publishing and Amplitude, Music Box Records proudly presents the sixth volume of the collection Great Television Soundtracks dedicated to two original television soundtracks composed and conducted by Raymond Alessandrini: Le Roi de Patagonie (The King of Patagonia, 1990) and Fabien de la Drôme (1983).

Le Roi de Patagonie narrates the adventure of Antoine de Tounens, a French lawyer from Dordogne who, under the reign of Napoleon III, went to Chile to proclaim himself king of Patagonia. Raymond Alessandrini composed a symphonic score combining action, romanticism and burlesque. 

Fabien de la Drôme tells the story of an outlaw who tracks down the bandits who murdered his family. Fulfilling the director’s wish for authenticity, Alessandrini wrote a Provençal theme for young Éric, following him with a bassoon-clarinet-fife combination that sometimes still evokes Western music. Fabien’s theme, an essential component of the score, accompanies the hero’s every movement with a mix of English horn, bassoon, brass instruments and strings, in various tempos. 

Remastered from the original recording sessions, the program has been supervised by Raymond Alessandrini. The CD comes with an 8-page booklet with liner notes by Gilles Loison, discussing the series and the scores including new comments by the composer on his collaboration with the two directors. The release is limited to 300 units.

Dragon's Domain im September: 'Albert Glasser Collection Vol. 5" mit The Amazing Colossal Man (1957) und War of Colossal Beast (1958), John Scotts Musik für den britischen Horrorfilm Symptoms (1974) und "Craig Safan Horror Macabre Vol. I" mit Episode-Scores aus der Anthologie-Serie Darkroom (1981 - 1982) und Safans erster Filmmusik für John McTiernans Studentenfilm The Demon's Daughter (1974).

Zitat

Dragon's Domain Records presents THE ALBERT GLASSER COLLECTION, VOLUME 5: SCIENCE FICTION ATOMIC MUTATION II. With this fifth collection of the composer's music, we are pleased to explore two more films that he scored for director Bert I. Gordon in 1957 and 1958. Most of Gordon's celebrated work was in the idiom of giant monster films. Albert Glasser consistently made musical magic out of limited resources and onrushing deadlines as one of Hollywood's most prolific B-movie composers. THE ALBERT GLASSER COLLECTION, VOLUME 5 features expanded releases of Glasser's music for THE AMAZING COLOSSAL MAN and WAR OF THE COLOSSAL BEAST.

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 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.

Released in 1957, THE AMAZING COLOSSAL MAN was something of a reversal of the same year's INCREDIBLE SHRINKING MAN in which a man survives a plutonium explosion and grows 8 to 10 feet a day, finally reaching 60 feet tall. Both films tried to give their main characters an aura of tragic sympathy. Composer Hans Salter accomplished this in SHRINKING MAN through the use of a rhythmic melody, while Glasser uses a soft violin solo to provide a degree of pathos for the film's unfortunate protagonist.

THE AMAZING COLOSSAL MAN spawned a sequel, WAR OF THE COLOSSAL BEAST releeased the following year, in which the Colossal Man is revealed to have survived falling off the Hoover Dam but is left disfigured and nearly mindless by the trauma of his fall as he runs amok again. Glasser's score follows the pattern of the first film, merging pathos for the man's condition while evoking terror for his violence.

Dragon's Domain Records presents THE ALBERT GLASSER COLLECTION VOLUME 5: SCIENCE FICTION ATOMIC MUTATION II, featuring original music composed by Albert Glasser for THE AMAZING COLOSSAL MAN and WAR OF THE COLOSSAL BEAST, mastered by James Nelson at Digital Outland. The booklet contains liner notes written by noted film music journalist and author Randall D. Larson.

Dragon's Domain Records presents the original soundtrack for SYMPTOMS, featuring music composed and produced by John Scott (ANTONY AND CLEOPATRA, GREYSTOKE: THE LEGEND OF TARZAN, THE FINAL COUNTDOWN, SHOOT TO KILL) for the 1974 British horror film co-written and directed by José Ramón Larraz (WHIRLPOOL, VAMPYRES, EDGE OF THE AXE), starring Lorna Helbron, Angela Pleasance, Ronald O'Neil, Peter Vaughan and Marie-Paule Mailleux.

Released in 1974, SYMPTOMS tells the story of Anne, a young writer (Heilbron) who is invited by her friend, Helen (Pleasence), to come visit in her large English country mansion. But the estate – and the increasingly unhinged Anne – turn out not to be what they seem. The stay is complicated by the recent disappearance of a mutual friend, Cora (Mailleux), Helen's jealousy over Anne's attraction to her ex-boyfriend John (O'Neil), and the gruff nature of the estate's handyman, Brady (Vaughan).

The unsettling tone, prompted by the film's atmosphere of quiet agitation and growing unease, is commendably supported by a provocative orchestral score by John Scott. Due to a severely limited budget, Scott created a potent and restless score using just ten musicians in total – flute, clarinet, piano, string quintet, harp, and a soprano voice.

For nearly sixty years, John Scott has established himself as one of the finest composers working in films today, having collaborated with the foremost producers and directors worldwide, including Richard Donner, Mark Damon, Hugh Hudson, Norman Jewison, Irvin Kershner, Daniel Petrie, Roger Spottiswoode and Charlton Heston, among others. He has been an essential voice in international scoring that thoroughly belies his occasional over-looked stature in the midst of 'brand name' composers. Frequently associated with Hollywood's finest composers, including Jerry Goldsmith, Elmer Bernstein and John Williams, John Scott has created a body of work that stands up as some of the finest music ever written for film. In addition to his orchestral and electronic film scores, Scott also maintained a long-running association with the French explorer Jacques Cousteau, composing music for more than a dozen TV documentary series from 1976 through 1994.

Dragon's Domain Records presents CRAIG SAFAN: HORROR MACABRE VOLUME 1, featuring music composed by Craig Safan for two projects from his extensive filmography. CRAIG SAFAN: HORROR MACABRE VOLUME 1 includes music from DARKROOM, the short-lived horror anthology from 1981 along with Craig's score for his very first film, THE DEMON'S DAUGHTER.

DARKROOM was a weekly television series on ABC hosted by James Coburn in which two horrific tales unfolded back-to-back within its hour-long time slot. The show was conceived in the vein of other short horror-thriller programs such as ALFRED HITCHCOCK PRESENTS, THE TWILIGHT ZONE, THRILLER, THE OUTER LIMITS, and NIGHT GALLERY.

The bulk of the music for DARKROOM was composed by Safan who had already made a name for himself scoring THE GREAT TEXAS DYNAMITE CHASE and FADE TO BLACK and would further his prolific career by authoring beloved scores for THE LAST STARFIGHTER, REMO WILLIAMS: THE ADVENTURE BEGINS, THE LEGEND OF BILLIE JEAN, and all two-hundred and seventy-one episodes of the hit television series CHEERS. The original pilot episode of DARKROOM including the theme for the show was originally penned by David Shire (THE TAKING OF PELHAM ONE TWO THREE, RETURN TO OZ). Safan took over scoring duties beginning with the second episode.

THE DEMON'S DAUGHTER is the composer's first film score, written for an unreleased short film directed by a fledgling student from the American Film Institute named John McTiernan (DIE HARD, PREDATOR, THE HUNT FOR RED OCTOBER). Coming from a world of writing pop songs, Safan had never composed a film score before. As soon as he got his taste, he knew he had found his calling.

Emmy-nominated and eight-time ASCAP award-winning composer Craig Safan has scored more than one hundred feature films, television and documentaries, has had more than 50 soundtrack albums of his music produced, as well as having three original albums of his own impressionistic music released. He's been commissioned to compose for ballet as well as for live performance of silent films and was given the Poledouris Film Music Legend Award at the 2014 International Film Music Festival in Cordoba, Spain.

Dragon's Domain Records presents CRAIG SAFAN: HORROR MACABRE VOLUME 1, feaaturing the premiere release of his music for DARKROOM and THE DEMON'S DAUGHTER on compact disc, featuring Craig Safan's music mastered by James Nelson of Digital Outland. The booklet contains liner notes written by author and composer Brian Satterwhite and includes comments from the composer.

Oh! John Scott ist fast immer gut und bei SYMPTOMS dürfte es sich ja um eine kammermusikalische Arbeit handeln. Nicht uninteressant.

Ja, den habe ich mir auch mal auf die Want-List gepackt, ich muss auch gestehen, dass mir die kleiner besetzten Arbeiten von Scott auch eigentlich etwas mehr zusagen als seine symphonischen Scores. 

Der Film ist ja in England erst vor wenigen Jahren wieder entdeckt worden und hat sich dort zu einem kleinen Kultfilm gemausert, dadurch bekam auch Scotts Score etwas Aufmerksamkeit. 

[peter-anselm]

Was symphonische Musik angeht empfehle ich Scotts "Colchester symphony". Der Mann kann symphonisch......

Die Musik ist allein auf sich gestellt allerdings ziemlich nichtssagend und langweilig. Für mich käme das nie in Frage:

Dragon's Domain im September: 'Albert Glasser Collection Vol. 5" mit The Amazing Colossal Man (1957) und War of Colossal Beast (1958), John Scotts Musik für den britischen Horrorfilm Symptoms (1974) und "Craig Safan Horror Macabre Vol. I" mit Episode-Scores aus der Anthologie-Serie Darkroom (1981 - 1982) und Safans erster Filmmusik für John McTiernans Studentenfilm The Demon's Daughter (1974).

 

The Amazing Colossal Man war überfällig in der Reihe an Glasser-Veröffentlichungen der letzten Jahre seit Kritzerland den Anfang gemacht hat! Glassers berühmtester Score, wohl auch sein eigener Favorit. Die Rechte des Kultfilms sind problematisch, weshalb es bisher auch keine DVD in den USA gibt. Dieses neue Album auf Dragon's Domain bewegt sich wohl auch einmal wieder in der Grauzone, wenn man die fehlenden Rechteangaben auf dem Backcover sieht.

Wenn das alles normal lizenziert werden müßte und eine Menge Geld kostete, würde Dragon´s Domain diese CDs sowieso gar nicht erst produzieren. Rechtlich kräht da wohl kein Hahn mehr danach, da keine großen Studios beteiligt sind, und jemand wie Ford Thaxton hat selbstverständlich den Dreh raus wie man hier auf billigste Art und Weise durchkommt. Dasselbe gilt natürlich auch für die Glasser-Scores, die bei Kronos erschienen sind. Da hat David Schecter mit gutem Rat mitgeholfen. Müßte etwa Kronos hierbei noch teure Lizenzgebühren an US-Studios zahlen, könnte Godwin Borg seine neue Glasser-CD gar nicht veröffentlichen.
Da ja sonst das ganze Jahr über so gut wie nichts mehr aus den 50ern erscheint, soll dieses ganze Zeugs wohl nun als Ersatz dienen und man soll damit bitteschön vorlieb nehmen, wenn man denn noch was Älteres haben möchte. Weit ist es gekommen.
Ich jedenfalls spiele dabei keinesfalls mehr mit, denn wenn es Grauenvolles aus dem Golden Age gibt, dann ist bei mir jemand wie Glasser ganz oben mit dabei. Ich kann und will mir dieses blecherne Geplärre einfach nicht anhören, finde es abseits der Filme einfach nur nervtötend und furchtbar.

[Trekfan]

Eben, musst es ja nicht anhören!

Ich bin bei Glasser auch wählerisch und habe nicht alle CDs gekauft, sind mittlerweile doch einige rausgekommen. Übrigens klingen nicht alle Azetate so schlecht und es sind auch richtig feine Sachen dabei, nicht nur Horror-Krawall Scoring.

Ich amüsiere mich schon länger darüber, dass ausgerechnet Schecter mithilft, diese "Veröffentlichungen" zu produzieren. Er war damals maßgeblich beim Feldzug gegen Bootlegs dabei und hat dafür gekämpft, dass alles sauber lizensiert wird. Aber die B- und vor allem C-Ware, die zuletzt auf seinem MMM Label erschienen ist, hat sich wohl lausig verkauft. Und den schon angekündigten Dog of Flanders zu bringen, davor hat Godwin Borg bei Kronos dann doch zurückgeschreckt.

Diesen Standard-Kommentar muß ich mir leider heutzutage hier viel zu oft anhören.
Für einen selbst als Sammler ist es ja schon irgendwie deprimierend, wenn die paar US-Labels das ganze Jahr wirklich nichts mehr bringen, was einen selbst noch interessiert oder man noch gern kaufen würde. Mit ALFRED THE GREAT vielleicht gerade mal noch als einziger Ausnahme diees Jahr - aber auch das eigentlich nur als "klangliches Update" gegenüber dem, was man schon hat. Man fragt sich da in dieser desolaten, so noch vor ein paar Jahren nie dagewesenen Situation schon: Wo bin ich da eigentlich noch, werde ich auch mal noch angesprochen oder soll ich ganz mit dem Sammeln aufhören?

Was Glasser betrifft: Ich habe die Sachen doch schon längst gehört, kenne natürlich die alte Starlog-LP aus den frühen 80ern. Eine uralte Kamelle. Davon fand ich nur die BOY AND THE PIRATES-Suite halbwegs annehmbar, aber auch nicht so gut, daß ich das hätte behalten müssen oder jemals mehr anhören würde. Insofern habe ich die Cassetten-Aufnahme des Albums schon vor 30 Jahren ziemlich schnell abgelöscht. HUK hatte zwischendrin ein paar nette Tracks, aber ansonsten?
Mir reicht es eh schon, wenn ich die paar Hörclips der neuen CDs austeste - da wird dann sofort klar, wie der Hase läuft und daß nichts davon für mich überhaupt je in Frage käme.

Daß Godwin Borg nicht bei Fox oder ja inzwischen eher bei Disney reinkommt, das war sonnenklar. Er hat sich da halt zuviel Illusionen hingegeben, daß die CD hier in Europa auch ohne die machbar wäre. Ist es zwar durch die Public Domain-Situation schon, aber: Hätte SAE dann noch Exemplare davon abgenommen und wie hätten die Label-Konkurrenten in den USA darauf reagiert wenn es eben halt mal doch um ein größeres Studio geht, mit dem man ja nichts verscherzen will?
DOG OF FLANDERS hätte ich mir eventuell schon nochmals gekauft, obwohl ich die alte LP habe (die aber kleider klanglich so einige Defizite aufweist).  Daraus wird nun natürlich auch wieder nichts.

Music Box am 1. April: "Rare Soundtracks Vol. 4", Serge Franklin & Nicolas Erréra

Die hübschen "Rare Soundtracks"-Boxen von Musicbox sind stets Überraschungseier mit unterschiedlichsten Inhalten. Bei dieser vierten Edition war die CD Nummer 3 für mich der alleinige Kaufgrund.

L´EMPREINTE DES GEANTS ist ein starkes, anrührendes Drama um den Bau einer Nationalstraße in Frankreich. Komponist Karl Heinz Schäfer stellt das Bandoneon als  tragendes Solo-Instrument in den Mittelpunkt und entwirft  damit einen wundervollen Score zwischen tänzerischer Folklore und sanfter Melancholie.

LE SANG DES AUTRES ist ein Score von Matthieu Chabrol, dem Sohn des Regisseurs. Und ich glaube, es ist sogar eine Premiere, denn mir ist nicht bekannt, dass  jemals zuvor eine Filmmusik von ihm erschienen wäre. Streicher und Holzbläser sind hier die dominierenden Instrumentengruppen. Mit der durchgehend eher atonalen Komposition führt Chabrol den Duktus seines Mentors Pierre Jansen, der zuvor die Filme von Chabrol Sr. betreut hatte, fort.

Eine weitere Premiere ist LE CRIME D´AMOUR. Jean Wiener habe ich zum ersten Mal bewußt wahrgenommen, als ich in den 90er Jahren das herrlich-bluesige Thema aus "Wenn es Nacht wird in Paris" auf einem Gabin-Sampler gehört hatte. Das war noch bevor ich den Film überhaupt kannte. Von ihm existiert viel zu wenig auf Tonträger. Seit den 20er Jahren war er filmmusikalisch aktiv, seine Filmographie ist lang und enthält viele Klassiker des französischen Kinos. Er hat mit einigen der namhaftesten Regisseure Frankreichs zusammengearbeitet, insbesondere mit Julien Duvivier, und doch sind es nur ein paar wenige Schnipsel, die sich hier und da auf Samplern verirrt haben, die heute noch von ihm verfügbar ist. Umso erfreulicher ist diese (erste?) Veröffentlichung eines kompletten Scores von Wiener, den er in hohem Alter noch geschrieben hat. Eine ruhige, empfindsame, kammermusikalische Filmmusik für Klavier, Cello und Cembalo.

 

 

[Oliver79]

Das von Mathieu Chabrol nie zu zuvor etwas auf Tonträger erschienen ist, hat mich auch immer verwundert.

Nein, das ist beileibe nicht die erste Veröffentlichung von Wieners LE CRIME D´AMOUR. Für alte Soundtrack-LP-Sammler ist das absolut nichts Neues, denn vor genau 40 Jahren - auch schon wieder so lange her! - gab es das auf einer französischen RCA-LP, die ich mir aber selbst nie zugelegt habe, da ich beide Musiken als ziemlich mittelmäßge Alterswerke empfand, die man einmal anhört und dann nie wieder. CRIME D´AMOUR füllte die B-Seite, während auf der A-Seite LETTRES D´AMOUR EN SOMALIE (nur für Klavier komponiert) enthalten war:

Die CD findet sich derzeit nicht mehr auf der Website von BSX. Ob sich da jetzt doch mal ein Rechteinhaber beschwert hat?
