Ein weiterer alter Prometheus-Promo-Score nun digital. Ken Thornes Musik zur 1982'er TV-Verfilmung von The Hunchback Of Notre Dame mit Anthony Hopkins als Quasimodo, Derek Jacobi als Frollo und David Suchet als Clopin. Bietet auf 30 Minuten schöne Themen, Chor, Source-Music und auch Action-Tracks. Letztere gleiten aber etwas in die Superman II/III-Schiene ab.

[ronin1975]

dachte ja Blumhouse würde wieder nur Bishara nehmen oder irgendwen mit billo synth/Sounddesign, aber Anthony Willis liefert einen lustigen, streckenweisen bombastischen Horrorscore ab... so als hätt Powell sowas gemacht. Aufs erste Anhören sehr unterhaltsam und megaflott. Ebenso überrascht bin ich ja eh, dass der Film megagute Kritiken bekommt... Trailer sah absurd campy trashy aus. Bin gespannt jetzt nach der vielversprechenden Musik und den Reviews, würd ich mir sonst wohl gar nicht ansehen...

[Stefan Jania]

Danke für den Tipp zu M3gan. Der Score wäre an mir vorbei gegangen. Hat für mich auch einen Hauch Elfman.

Am 27. Januar erscheinen bei GAD Records gleich fünf neue Filmmusikalben:

Wojna Światów – następne stulecie - Józef Skrzek

Zitat

The music was written for Piotr Szulkin's film, although it was only used in the film in a small part. The most rocking, but still colorful and not entirely obvious face of Józef Skrzek. Now in a refreshed, definitive edition.

"The War of the Worlds - The Next Century" is a colorful and diverse material. Józef Skrzek prepared e.g. two dynamic instrumental motifs from the title dominated by the sound of moog synthesizers, but also subtle sound pictures with Szukalski's lyrical saxophone ("Dla Alina", "Szakal"). He reached for a poem by Tadeusz Różewicz ("Unknown Letter"), hard rock riffs ("65th St. Sermon") or folk elements ("Fade Away"). Today, the album, realized with the help of Tomasz Szukalski, Robert Gola, Jan Skrzek and Janusz Ziomber, occupies a special place in Józef Skrzek's discography. It is a coda of the artist's rock adventures and, in fact, the last solo album of the artist realized in such a convention. With its unusual marriage of powerful guitars, singing saxophone and powerful synthesizers, it remains an important episode in the artist's career.

"War of the Worlds - the Next Century" returns on CD in a new version, prepared in close cooperation with Warner Music Poland and GAD Records. The material has been remastered from the original tapes from the archives of Polskie Nagrania and supplemented with the original versions of the songs recorded in 1980. The booklet contains the history of the creation of the album and photos.

Kangurek Hip-Hop - Bogumil Pasternak

Zitat

Lovely animation with a lovely soundtrack. The adventures of a smiling kangaroo still reach the young viewer, and the soundtrack coming from them will bring a smile to the face of every child. Even over forty.

Created by Bronisław Zeman, the Hip-Hop Kangaroo character began in the mid-1970s to help children discover information about animals. To this day, these thirteen short animations are able to attract a young viewer. And the adjective "cute" fits them perfectly. This also applies to the music of Bogumił Pasternak, in which he combined classical instruments with electromechanical and electronic ones. Already in the first episode ("The Fox"), Pasternak introduces an electric guitar and a Fender piano, combining them with a subtle flute and bossa nova rhythm. "Borsuk" brings a subtle waltz with a vibrating sound of vibraphone, "Chamois" and "Wolf" successfully refer to highlander folklore, and "Bóbr" complements the string section and woodwinds with a subtly used synthesizer.

All the recordings have been remastered from the original tapes from the sound archive of the Cartoon Film Studio. The booklet contains text about the series and the composer as well as stills from the films. The release is part of a whole series of CDs prepared by Studio Filmów Rysunkowych and GAD Records on the occasion of the Studio's 75th anniversary.

Marceli Szpak dziwi sie swiatu - Zenon Kowalowski

Zitat

"Marceli Szpak wonders at the world" occupies a special place in the achievements of the Animated Film Studio. It is a magical meeting in one place and time of an excellent screenwriter, sensitive director and composer with an amazing imagination. Effect? moving.

Produced in 1984-86, the series, based on the idea of Joanna Pollakówna and developed by Aleksander Oczka, became the most poetic production not only in the history of the Studio in Bielsko, but also in the history of Polish animation for children in general. Zenon Kowalowski's nostalgic music fits perfectly into the melancholic mood of the main character's deliberations. A large part of the instrumental motifs that appeared in the series are broad themes dominated by the string section, enriched here and there with flute, clarinet, oboe, harmonica or acoustic guitar. There were also vibraphones that introduced a dreamlike mood or synthesizers used very modestly and deliberately. It's music that not only emphasizes the character of the film, but takes it to a new level. "Marceli Szpak..." also includes colorful songs - including the opening credits sung by Tadeusz Kwinta.

All the recordings have been remastered from the original tapes from the sound archive of the Cartoon Film Studio. The booklet contains extensive text about the series and stills from the films. The release is part of a whole series of CDs prepared by Studio Filmów Rysunkowych and GAD Records on the occasion of the Studio's 75th anniversary.

Knock Down. Polish Animated Shorts 1975 - 1984 - Zenon Kowalowski, Marek Wilczynski, Zbigniew Lampart, Bogumil Pasternak, Tadeusz Kocyba

Zitat

Breathtaking slalom between transistors and diodes. An alternative history of Polish electronic music from the turn of the 70s and 80s - through the prism of intriguing animated films. From pre-ambient to pre-industrial.

The Animated Film Studio in Bielsko-Biała, apart from popular series for children, regularly produced artistic films aimed at adult viewers. The creators associated with the studio attempted formal experiments, reached for unusual artistic solutions and looked for stories devoid of banality. Composers associated with the studio could not stay behind - electronic instruments came to the rescue. "Knock Down" presents various ways of using synthesizers in illustrating animations. From lyrical cantilenas ("Bird" by Zbigniew Lampart), through minimalism ("Studium" by Zenon Kowalowski) to successful marriages of electronics with live instruments ("Defekt" by Marek Wilczyński). It is a colorful journey to the stuffy underground ("The Burner of the Knot"), to desert islands ("The Green Subversive") and space ("Exodus").

All the recordings have been remastered from the original tapes from the sound archive of the Cartoon Film Studio. The booklet contains an extensive text on the electronic adventures of SFR and film stills. The release is part of a whole series of CDs prepared by Studio Filmów Rysunkowych and GAD Records on the occasion of the Studio's 75th anniversary.

Reksio - Zenon Kowalowski

Zitat

One of the most popular (though fictional) dogs in the history of Polish pop culture. Experiencing more and more new adventures, followed by the music of Zenon Kowalowski with moving motifs, emotions and style. Now - for the first time on the album, in full splendor and with obligatory stamps!

The character of Reksio, invented by Lechosław Marszałek, remains one of the most recognizable Polish animated characters in history to this day. The universal tone of backyard stories with a nice dog in the lead role does not age despite the passage of time. This is also due to the excellent animation and colorful, emotional music by Zenon Kowalowski. This material is extremely coherent in terms of instrumentation (one of the few exceptions is the electronic music recorded for the episode "Reksio i UFO"), full of charming themes and interesting tension building. The album opens and closes with the legendary opening credits - also in the original version, before adding sound effects. Most listeners will imagine characteristic barks or stamping in empty places anyway.

All the recordings have been remastered from the original tapes from the sound archive of the Cartoon Film Studio. The booklet contains Magda Miśka-Jackowska's conversation with the composer and film stills. The release is part of a whole series of CDs prepared by Studio Filmów Rysunkowych and GAD Records on the occasion of the Studio's 75th anniversary.

Am 22. Februar veröffentlichen Cinema-Kan ein 6-CD-Set mit Toshiyuki Watanabes Scores für die Mothra-Trilogie aus den 1990er Jahren.

Zitat

Fight to protect! The soundtrack of the Heisei "Mothra" trilogy, which started in 1996, has been made into a complete box with a large volume of 6 UHQ-CDs!

After the end of the Godzilla series, the trilogy of love and hope that reappeared as a monster for a new generation "Mothra"
, "Mothra 2 Great Battle at the Bottom of the Sea", "Mothra 3 King Ghidorah Invasion", commonly known as the Heisei Mothra trilogy, Reappeared in the latest remastering of the Japanese era! !
This trilogy is a masterpiece of Toshiyuki Watanabe, who is famous for works such as the anime "Ginga Hyoryu Vifam", "Shinkansen Henkei Robo Shinkalion", and the historical dramas "Motonari Mouri" and "Toshiie Tomatsu". It was never reissued.
It was the music of each work that was difficult to obtain while boasting high popularity, but this time it was decided to commercialize it as a box that summarizes the trilogy. The sound source is the latest digital remastering for all songs, and a UHQCD press is used for even higher sound quality. The guardian deity of the beautiful stars, which has undergone a miraculous makeover with the theme song recorded, is back here.

THE WANDERING EARTH 2: Zur Fortsetzung des 6. erfolgreichsten Films weltweit is wieder Roc Chen dabei. Greift natürlich vieles aus dem ersten Score auf (der kurioserweise jetzt weg is von Spotify). Das Thema wird schön wiederholt. Und gibt einen irre lustigen Tracktitel… da war wohl wer frustriert 🤣

Film konnte ich hier in London im Kino sehen und fand den super und weit besser als den ersten Teil. Die ersten 30min sind der Hammer und die ‚Space Elevator‘ Szene echt megastark… derlei Rasanz und Finesse erreicht der 3h Film danach nicht mehr, aber die Begeisterung über dieses Intro hält lange an…

Und die ersten Titel 2023er Titel von Dragon's Domain:  'Craig Safan Horror Macabre Vol 2' mit Safans Musik zu dem Episodenfilm Nightmares (1983) und der True-Crime-Miniserie Seduced by Madness: The Diane Borchardt Story (1996) und 'Chuck Cirino: Erotic Thrillers Vol. 1' mit Sins of Desire (1993) und Haunting Fear (1990).

Außerdem erscheint bei Buysoundtrax Records noch die CD-Premiere von W. Michael Lewis und Mark Lindsays Shogun Assassin (1980)

Zitat

Dragon’s Domain Records presents CRAIG SAFAN: HORROR MACABRE VOLUME 2, featuring music composed by Craig Safan for two projects from his extensive filmography. CRAIG SAFAN: HORROR MACABRE VOLUME 2 includes music from NIGHTMARES, the 1983 horror anthology, along with SEDUCED BY MADNESS: THE DIANE BORCHARDT STORY, a 1996 television film.

Released in 1983, NIGHTMARES had its origins in a short-lived weekly television series titled DARKROOM 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.

In the year following the success of DARKROOM, rival network NBC moved to capitalize on anthology storytelling by commissioning Christopher Crowe and Jeffrey Bloom, who had written and directed a handful of episodes of DARKROOM, to write four short scripts to be assembled into a two-hour unnamed pilot directed by Joseph Sargent. Bolstered by distinguished acting talent including Emilio Estevez, Lance Henriksen, Christina Raines, William Sanderson, Veronica Cartwright, and Richard Masur, the completed pilot demonstrated genuine potential for the network. However, there was a small problem. The executives at NBC deemed the episodes too intense for television audiences. The television pilot was summarily scrapped in favor of resurrecting the anthology as a theatrical motion picture called NIGHTMARES released by Universal Pictures.

The music for NIGHTMARES was composed by Craig Safan, who had also composed most of the episodic music for DARKROOM. Safan had already made a name for himself scoring THE GREAT TEXAS DYNAMITE CHASE and FADE TO BLACK and would further his 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. Safan had just come off a particularly heartbreaking project when his entire score for WOLFEN was rejected and replaced by a score from another composer. Safan’s music for NIGHTMARES is a calculated blend of aleatoric orchestral music coupled with a heavy dose of synthesizers during one of the film’s most memorable segments.

SEDUCED BY MADNESS aired on the NBC network in 1996, presented in two episodes and starred the legendary Ann-Margret along with Peter Coyote, Leslie Hope, Christian Campbell, Hedy Burress, Tobey Maguire, Freddy Rodriguez, Cliff De Young, Dean Norris, Tomas Arana and Kurt Fuller. Ann-Margret plays Diane Kay Borchardt, a Wisconsin teacher’s aide convicted of hiring her students to spy on and eventually kill her estranged husband. SEDUCED BY MADNESS dramatizes the events leading to Borchardt’s conviction, life in prison without the possibility of parole until she has served forty-five years in prison. For SEDUCED BY MADNESS, Safan composed a chamber score—comprised primarily of strings, winds, and percussion.

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 2, featuring the premiere release of his music for NIGHTMARES and SEDUCED BY MADNESS: THE DIANE BORCHARDT STORY 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.

Dragon’s Domain Records, to be distributed through buysoundtrax.com, presents CHUCK CIRINO’S EROTIC THRILLERS, featuring music composed by Chuck Cirino (CHOPPING MALL, NOT OF THIS EARTH, DEATHSTALKER II and RETURN OF SWAMP THING ) for two films from his filmography, SINS OF DESIRE and HAUNTING FEAR.

The success of BASIC INSTINCT in 1992 saw an incredible boom of like-minded erotic thrillers in the home video market. Released almost a year later, SINS OF DESIRE was directed by Jim Wynorski (CHOPPING MALL, NOT OF THIS EARTH, DEATHSTALKER II and RETURN OF SWAMP THING), written by Peter Liapis and Mark Thomas McGee, starring Gail Thackray, John Henry Richardson, Delia Sheppard, Tanya Roberts, Carrie Stevens, Nick Cassavetes, Jan-Michael Vincent, Becky LeBeau, Monique Parent and Ace Mask.

SINS OF DESIRE begins with Monica (Thackray), who is a patient of Dr. Callister (Richardson), a sex therapist. While she’s unconscious, Callister takes advantage of her and she panics, forcing him to kill her by accident. Callister and his wife, Jessica (Sheppard), also a doctor, bury Monica. Unknown to them, Monic was investigating their clinic for her boss, Mitchum (Cassavettes), a private detective. The Callisters hire a hitman (Vincent) to kill Mitchum. When he fails, they kill the hitman. After a former patient of Callister’s kills herself, her sister, Kay (Roberts) goes undercover as a nurse at the clinic to find out what happened. As Kay gets closer to the truth, she also gets closer to Mitchum.

Based on the classic Edgar Allan Poe story ‘Premature Burial’, HAUNTING FEAR was written and directed Fred Olen Ray, starring Brinke Steven, Jan-Michael Vincent, John Henry Richardson, Delia Sheppard, Karen Black, Robert Clarke, Robert Quarry, Michael Berryman and Hoke Howell. Released in 1990, the film follows Victoria (Stevens), who has an irrational fear of being buried alive. Victoria consults her doctor (Clarke) and is given medication to help her sleep but this only amplifies her fears. Unable to help her, Dr. Carlton refers her to another doctor, Harcourt (Black), who begins using hypnotism to deal with Victoria’s mental block. Victoria’s husband, Terry (Richardson) has been secretly having an affair with his secretary, Lisa (Sheppard) and has racked up some serious debt. Terry conceives of a plan to kill Victoria and use the inheritance to pay off his debt. Terry and Lisa decide to bury Victoria alive in order to scare her to death but their plan backfires and Victoria returns for some bloody vengeance.

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.

Chuck also produced BURNING MAN 1994, the very first documentary on the subject. Chuck works and resides in Los Angeles with his wife, Flordilyn and a cat, Too Too. His spare time is spent growing an experimental back-yard, permaculture food forest.

Dragon’s Domain Records presents CHUCK CIRINO’S EROTIC THRILLERS, featuring music composed by Chuck Cirino for SINS OF DESIRE and HAUNTING FEAR, appearing for the 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.

CHUCK CIRINO’S EROTIC THRILLERS is a limited edition release of 500 units and is expected to begin shipping the week of February 6th, 2023. Composer Chuck Cirino will sign the first 50 copies of CHUCK CIRINO’S EROTIC THRILLERS sold through the website.

BSX Records presents the original motion picture soundtrack to SHOGUN ASSASSIN, featuring music composed by W. Michael Lewis and Mark Lindsay for the 1980 film assembled with elements from the the Japanese film series LONE WOLF AND CUB, directed by Kenji Misumi and starring Tomisaburô Wakayama as Ogami Ittō. The LONE WOLF AND CUB series, which consisted of six Japanese martial arts films based on a long-running manga series, revolved around the Shōgun’s executioner Ogami Ittō, who, after being disgraced by false accusations from an opposing clan, is forced to take the path of assassin. Along with his three-year-old son, Daigorō, they seek revenge on the clan and become known as Lone Wolf and Cub.

The series was highly successful, prompting a 79-episode Japanese television series and in 1980, elements from the first two films, SWORD OF VENGEANCE and BABY CART AT THE RIVER STYX, were extracted and newly dubbed into the American film, SHOGUN ASSASSIN, co-produced and directed by Robert Houston for New World Pictures. The re-edited Japanese film was given a new score, composed by W. Michael Lewis and Mark Lindsay.

The score was recorded at Lindsay’s Wonderland Avenue studio in the Los Angeles Hills, where they jointly created the score. At that time, coming out of the ‘70s, there was a lot of progressive rock and New Wave music was just starting so Lewis and Lindsay used those ideas as the basic sounds for their SHOGUN ASSASSIN score.

Both W. Michael Lewis and Mark Lindsay began their careers with 1960s rock bands – Lindsay was the vocalist for Paul Revere and the Raiders, and Lewis was a keyboard player with Quicksilver Messenger Service from 1975-1979, among other bands previously. Lewis had moved into film scoring in 1978, beginning with the 1977-82 speculative TV series IN SEARCH OF… and he scored nearly a dozen films and series during the 1980s. After SHOGUN ASSASSIN, Lewis went on to score, with composer Lauren Rinder, the holiday slasher film NEW YEARS’ EVIL in 1980; he rejoined Mark Lindsay on the 1981 documentary THE KILLING OF AMERICA, then went on to compose a mix of orchestral and electronic music to Cannon Films’ ENTER THE NINJA, co-composed with Rinder and REVENGE OF THE NINJA with Rinder and Robert J. Walsh; music from those films was re-used in the third film, NINJA III: THE DOMINATION.

BSX Records presents the original motion picture soundtrack to SHOGUN ASSASSIN on compact disc for the first time, featuring music composed by W. Michael Lewis and Mark Lindsay. The music has been newly mastered by James Nelson at Digital Outland. The liner notes are written by noted author Randall D. Larson, with the participation of composer W. Michael Lewis. SHOGUN ASSASSIN is a limited edition release of 500 units and will ship on the week of February 6th, 2023.

Von Soundtrack Magazine kommt am 3. März eine CD mit Peter Kams Musik für Johnnie Tos Throw Down (2004).

Zitat

THROW DOWN
Music by Peter Kam
Limited Edition of 1000 Units
Retail Price: $19.98

*NOTICE: This is a pre-order item, and it will be shipped on 3rd March.

Soundtrack Magazine proudly presents a limited edition, world-premiere CD release of composer Peter Kam’s (THE WARLORDS, DRAGON) original motion picture soundtrack to the 2004 award-winning action drama THROW DOWN, directed by Johnnie To (DRUG WAR, ELECTION). The first collaboration between To and Kam, the film tells the story about a group of dreamers and their friendship that centers around the art of judo. With his previous experience in pop music songwriting, Kam created a highly melodic and enjoyable score for the film. Additionally, the composition also has a number of segments that emphasize on the rhythm of the action as well as the solemnity of judo. But in the end, those elements of revenge and decadence are transformed into friendship, dreams, and hope through the music. The whole album is also structured around these rousing elements.

The album is edited under the supervision of composer Peter Kam. Director Johnnie To is also invited to write a special note on the collaboration for this release. The liner notes were written by QIU Yang, the writer and producer of Soundtrack Magazine, based on his interview with the composer.

This is a limited edition of 1000 units, with a pull-out dynamic cover and silver stamping numbering.

Von Beat Records gibt es in diesem Monat wieder drei Wiedergänger: Le foto proibite di una signora per bene und Space: 1999 von Ennio Morricone sowie Goblins Squadra antigangsters.

Zitat

Beat Records reissues a classic OST by Ennio Morricone for the Giallo film "Le foto proibite di una Signora per bene" (aka "The Forbidden Photos of a Lady Above Suspicion"), directed in 1971 by Luciano Ercoli starring Dagmar Lassander, Nieves Navarro, Simón Andreu, Pier Paolo Capponi, Osvaldo Genazzani and Salvador Huguet. Ennio Morricone composed a solid OST for a genre for which he had written many memorable scores. For this film he penned an orchestral score in which the crystal voice of Edda Dell'Orso intervenes as an additional instrument in the main theme "Le foto proibite di una Signora per bene," performed in a bossa nova tempo that opens and closes the CD. "Amore come dolore" is a romantic-mysterious theme with beat rhythms, contrasting with numerous dissonant themes and the tense atmosphere in which the female protagonist is immersed. Beat dance music is not lacking with themes much loved by fans such as "Allegretto per Signora," "Intermezzino pop" and "Secondo intermezzino pop," which have also been included in various lounge music compilations. For this CD we used the stereo master tapes from the original recording sessions, for a total running time of 55:34.

Beat Records is proud to present the world premiere CD release of SPACE:1999, featuring the original motion picture soundtrack of the Italian theatrical version composed by two-time Oscar-winner Ennio Morricone.

SPACE: 1999 premiered in Italian theatres on January 14, 1975, and was created through the process of editing together three episodes from season one of the TV series: "Breakaway," "Ring Around the Moon" and "Another Time, Another Place."

The theatrical release of SPACE: 1999 predated the series' debut on Italian television by a year, with the first six episodes being broadcast from January 31, 1976. Six more episodes followed in July and the remaining twelve episodes in the fall of the same year.

The series' original iconic score was not used for the Italian theatrical version (the series originally premiered on British television on September 4, 1975), instead being replaced with a fascinating score by Ennio Morricone, who composed original material featuring frantic jazz themes and futuristic electronic sequences reminiscent of Barry Gray's work on UFO.

This release also includes avant-garde material by Morricone that was carefully selected as background music for various scenes in the movie, taken directly from the RCA promotional series of library vinyl LPs titled "Dimensioni Sonore," performed by symphonic orchestra and presented here in full stereo. Also included is the final large orchestral theme heard over the end credits, featuring vocals by Edda Dell'Orso and I Cantori Moderni di Alessandroni. This theme was reused for the 1979 mini-series Orient Express, again scored by Ennio Morricone.

The CD has a running time of 70:11 and comes with a full-color, 20-page booklet containing double cover, archive stills, a foreword from Fanderson chairman Nick Williams (the official Fanderson UK fan club) and plot synopses and credits for the three original episodes.

This release was officially approved by ITV Studios and will be available from September 13, 2016, the day in which the moon separated from Earth's orbit in SPACE: 1999 (also coming soon on double-LP from Death Waltz Recording Company!).

The Whale - Rob Simonsen - A24 Records

Simonsen mag ich eigentlich immer gern, hatte den Score aber irgendwie übersehen bis ich gestern den Film gesehen hab. Film war unglaublich bewegend und schön, neben den Darstellern und allem eigentlich trug auch die Musik sehr dazu bei. Subtil die meiste Zeit, aber gerade gegen Ende wird sie auch laut und drückt auf volle Emotionen. Fand das echt toll im Film und auch zum reinen Anhören sehr sehr schön geworden. Seufz.

Neu von Quartet, zweimal Morricone:

Quartet Records presents a remastered CD reissue of Ennio Morricone’s bizarre giallo score for the 1974 thriller L’ULTIMO UOMO DI SARA (aka SARAH’S LAST MAN).

Directed by actress Maria Virginia Onorato (in her only foray into feature film directing), the movie stars Oddo Bracci as Paolo Castellano, an artist who wants to investigate the death of his ex-wife Sara long after the police declare the case closed. Aided by Sara’s friend Anna (played by Rosemary Dexter), Paolo goes through the hours of footage shot by Sara on her camera, slowly realizing that the identity of the killer is captured on film and his identity might be one of the reasons why the police wants the case closed as soon as possible.

The CD opens with the title song, performed by singer Carmen Villani, a passionate plea for peace and the memory of a doomed romance. The score features a propulsive action theme that Morricone varies and adorns with experimental percussion noises that mimic the sound of big-city traffic. Other tracks in the varied score include a heartbreaking love theme, a nice cue featuring Edda dell’Orso practicing musical scales, and a funny silent film pastiche.

The score was previously released by GDM in 2005. This new edition contains the same program produced by Claudio Fuiano and Dániel Winkler, and it has been rebuilt and remastered by Chris Malone from the first-generation stereo master tapes. The package includes a richly illustrated 8-page booklet with Gergely Hubai discussing the film and the score, and beautiful new artwork by Luca Barcellona.

Quartet Records presents a remastered CD reissue of the long-out-of-print killer soundtrack by Ennio Morricone for the 1975 police thriller IL GIUSTIZIERE (aka THE HUMAN FACTOR).

Directed by Hollywood veteran by Edward Dmytryk, the film stars George Kennedy, John Mills, Raf Vallone and Rita Tushingham. The plot is about John Kinsdale (Kennedy), a computer engineer whose family gets brutally murdered while he is working in Naples on a top secret project. Aided by fellow engineer Janice (Tushingham), Kinsdale uses a combination of his expertise as well as brute force to take revenge on the left-wing terrorists—Charles Bronson style!

Morricone’ score comes from the composer’s fertile period of poliziotteschi thrillers and “Years of Lead” dramas that he approached in a similar manner. The music features several variations on the beautiful family theme which eventually gains new meaning as Kinsdale must carry the burden on his own. The music for the terrorists features the psychedelic, percussion-heavy and often ostinato-based cues that Morricone typically reserved for the steamy chaos of his poliziottecshi titles.

The score was previously released by GDM in 2010. This new edition contains the same program produced by Claudio Fuiano and Dániel Winkler, and it has been rebuilt and remastered by Chris Malone from the first-generation stereo master tapes. The package includes a richly illustrated 8-page booklet with Gergely Hubai discussing the film and the score.

2. Terroristi! (11:31)

E poi, non ne rimase nessuno aka Ten Little Indians - Bruno Nicolai (reissue)

Zitat

This CD would not have been possible if Edipan hadn’t conserved two mono masters in good conditions in its archives (stereo mixes have gone lost). Unfortunately it was not possible to cancel some magnetic flaws. We brought to life an OST that contains all the popular and well respected music elements of Maestro Nicolai: dissonant strings segments, experimental effects of an evocative classical main theme, ambiguous and mysterious, accompanied by pop rithms.

Camorra - Manuel De Sica

Zitat

Manuel De Sica wrote an orchestral comment based on a recurring symphonic tarantella, which is the main theme retaken in symphonic version or with a solo guitar, alternated with lounge tracks like “Rough”, sung by M° De Sica himself, who was 23 years old back then, with the fabulous “Bossa Nova Boss”, with the extravagant “Casa da gioco” and with the “Anna e Tonino” love theme. RCA printed a promo LP (SP 8046), put together by M° De Sica, 30:30 minutes long. In 1994 the same material was printed on CD (original soundtrack - OST 125), paired with “The

Garden of the Finzi-Continis” (aka “Il giardino dei Finzi-Contini”). We were able to have access to the original session mono masters, which brought us to discover some unpublished material, that results in a 46:38 minutes long CD. A sincere homage to the Musical Art of the dear departed Manuel De Sica.

Io sono l'abisso / La ragazza nella nebbia - Vito Lo Re

Zitat

The alpha and the omega, we could say: the first and last soundtrack I wrote for Donato Carrisi (to date!). Two very different scores, because I believe that a composer of applied music must know how to juggle very different styles, ensembles and moods. In The Girl in the Fog there is no definition of a single character theme, the electronic music outlines and delimits the action, or when the action is more important than what the characters feel. Orchestral music, on the other hand, is used to underline a particular emotional detail of the single character. In short, I tried to make my own the widespread rule in American scores according to which the music must not express the action represented but describe the feelings of the characters.

In Io sono l'abisso, on the other hand, the approach is decidedly more intimate: there is a single theme played by three instruments (piano, viola and cello) and then, speaking of juggling different styles, La mia Queen: a rap pop that kind of represents the black soul of this soundtrack.

Vito Lo Re's music seems to come straight from the camera. They are light in the form of notes. From the exact moment they are linked to the image, it is no longer possible to separate them from each other.

Andrew Morgan Smith is eigentlich immer viel zu gut für die B und C Filme, die er so scored. Zum neuen Western mit Nicolas Cage hat er einen sehr gefälligen flotten 90er Western Score mit Orchester und typischer Wild West Besetzung geschrieben. Alles nicht neu, aber sehr unterhaltsam:
