Und noch was von Quartet:

Quartet Records, in collaboration with Cinevox, presents a remastered CD reissue of Pino Donaggio‘s terrific suspense score for Dario Argento’s DO YOU LIKE HITCHCOCK? (2005)

The film is about Giulio, a film student whose passion for the films of Hitchcock will take him to the site of a grisly murder. Obsessed with his beautiful neighbor Sasha, Giulio is distraught to learn that the girl’s mother was slain in a gruesome murder that would fit in a Hitchcock thriller. Knowing that Sasha didn’t like her overprotective mother, and that she had just seen STRANGERS ON A TRAIN, our hero deduces that she made a switch and had someone else commit the murder—but this also means that she will kill someone in return. Giulio launches a VERTIGO-inspired investigation on the streets of Turin and is shocked to learn that he was wrong—it  was another Hitchcock film that inspired the plot! Can you guess which one?

Filled with dozens of references to REAR WINDOW, STRAGERS ON A TRAIN, DIAL M FOR MURDER, VERTIGO and MARNIE, Dario Argento’s pastiche is a nice exercise from the giallo maestro, exercising his skills while paying homage to his favorite director.

Pino Donaggio’s score (his third for the director) is an exciting blend of Herrmann-inspired suspense, interspersed with seductive siren-like vocals for scenes of voyeurism. Performed by the Bulgarian Symphony Orchestra and conducted by Natale Massara, Donaggio’s music for DO YOU LIKE HITCHCOCK? is one of his best scores in the genre that brought him many adoring film music fans.

This CD includes the entire Donaggio score, but whereas the previous 2013 edition was mastered from a DAT with 2-track mixes prepared for a cancelled 2005 album (with some anomalies), this time we started with the stereo mixes engineered by Marco Streccione from the original master tapes transferred in high resolution, carefully edited and mastered by Chris Malone and approved by the composer, presenting the music in greater detail. The new package includes the original liner notes written by our much-missed friend Gergely Hubai.

Von Quartet:

Quartet Records, in collaboration with GDM and EMI Music Publishing Italia, presents a remastered, expanded edition of Ennio Morricone’s avant-garde score for Elio Petri’s UN TRANQUILLO POSTO DI CAMPAGNA (aka A QUIET PLACE IN THE COUNTRY) (1968). The film, a psychological thriller-drama starring Franco Nero and Vanessa Redgrave, is about a renowned and neurotic painter (Nero), who after moving into a dilapidated rural villa to reinvigorate his creative energies, becomes obsessed with an uninhibited countess who died there many years prior.

The film inspired one of Morricone’s most fascinating scores, and one of his favorites. The composer based his ideas on two different musical styles: one more phantasmagorical, ethereal, and the other experimental, aggressive, with an essential contribution from the famous avant-garde group of which Morricone was a member: Gruppo D’improvisazione Nuova Consonanza. This musical duality allows Morricone to reflect how sanity gradually and irretrievably loses ground to madness in Franco Nero’s character.

Although the score was very striking at the time—and led Elio Petri, who had always changed composers in previous films, to rely on Ennio Morricone as an essential collaborator in all his remaining movies—it was not released commercially. We had to wait a decade for a suite to be included on a compilation LP that brought together some of the composer’s most experimental work for the cinema. In 2003, the Saimel label released the first official edition of the soundtrack, with a generous running time of 64 minutes and a program supervised by Morricone himself. The sound was entirely in mono, just as the tapes had survived. A few years later, GDM released a 40-minute CD with the recently discovered mock-up program for a General Music record that had been planned in 1968 and eventually canceled. It had less music, but it was all in stereo. For this Quartet edition, remastered by Chris Malone from the original master tapes, we have included the program for the stereo album, followed by a suite in four movements, the first three of which contain the music as presented in the movie, including unreleased cues, followed by a fourth movement containing unused and alternate tracks. Supervised by Claudio Fuiano, the release features a booklet that includes Simeone’s famous original painting on the cover and an essay by Miguel Ángel Ordóñez discussing the film and the score.

Quartet Records, in collaboration with GDM and Universal Music Publishing Italia, presents a remastered reissue of the ultimate edition of Ennio Morricone’s score for Elio Petri’s 1971 social drama LA CLASSE OPERAIA VA IN PARADISO (aka THE WORKING CLASS GOES TO HEAVEN), a robust social drama about a conscientious factory worker who becomes a political activist after accidentally cutting off his finger while working on a machine. Starring Gian Maria Volonté, the film won the Palme d’Or at the 1972 Cannes Film Festival, with a special mention for Volonté as Best Actor.

As he had done for other filmmakers, Morricone created a particular sound for Petri’s social cinema, based on grotesque forms and adding profane elements to the music itself. In LA CLASSE OPERAIA VA IN PARADISO, Morricone composed one of his most famous main themes: a grotesque, cartoonish march that defines the alienated work of a factory, to which he added sound effects, electric guitars, violin, piano and the noises of machines and drills.

Released on a limited promotional LP in Italy in 1971 and reissued in France in 1982, the soundtrack was later released on CD by RCA in the 1990s, and an expanded edition containing virtually the entire score recorded by Morricone was released by GDM in 2009. This is a reissue of that, but freshly remastered by Chris Malone from the original master tapes and supervised by Claudio Fuiano. The package includes, for the first time, the original cover art of the coveted promotional vinyl and an essay by Miguel Ángel Ordóñez discussing the film and the score.

In collaboration with Carthago Films and Warner Chappell Music France, Music Box Records proudly presents the premiere CD release of the original motion picture soundtrack of Philippe Clair's Plus beau que moi, tu meurs (1982) composed and conducted by Armando Trovajoli.

Philippe Clair directed two successful films with leading actor Aldo Maccione in the early 1980s: Tais-toi quand tu parles (1981 – OST previously released by Music Box Records in 2015) and Plus beau que moi, tu meurs.

After Tais-toi quand tu parles, the music is also composed by Armando Trovajoli, an Italian composer famous for his work with Ettore Scola and Dino Risi. The soundtrack is a patchwork of sophisticated disco and funky tracks, sarcastic refrains, a twirling tango, and heavenly themes. The present edition features the famous film's theme song, performed by Maccione himself and written by Philippe Clair. An instant classic!

The whole program has been fully remastered by Christophe Hénault from the complete scoring session elements. The package includes an 8-page booklet featuring exclusive liner notes by writer Nicolas Magenham discussing the film and the score. The CD release is limited to 500 units.

Neu von BSX/Dragon's Domain:

Dragon’s Domain Records presents BATTLE OF NERETVA, featuring music composed by Bernard Herrmann (CITIZEN KANE, PSYCHO, TAXI DRIVER) for the 1969 historical epic directed by Veljko Bulajic, written by Ugo Pirro, Stevo Bulajic, Ratko Djurovic and Veljko Bulajic, starring Yul Brynner, Hardy Krüger, Franco Nero, Sylva Koscina, Orson Welles, Curd Jürgens, Anthony Dawson, Milena Dravic, Sergey Bondarchuk, Ljubisa Samardzic and Bata Zivojinovic.

To film this epic chronicle of raw courage and stubborn savagery, executive producers Henry T. Weinstein and Anthony B. Unger chose Veljko Bulajic, the renowned Yugoslav director noted for his adroit handling of large-scale subject matter. Military experts from [the former] Yugoslavia, Germany, and Italy each contributed to the battle scenes with tanks, artillery, planes and cannons. Special effects were provided by Barrandow Studios in Prague, while the [former] U.S.S.R. supplied a team of pyrotechnicians. Four 1943 Bosnian villages and a complete fortress were constructed for destruction by aerial bombardment.

For the director’s cut of BATTLE OF NERETVA, Vladimir Kraus-Rajteric composed the original score where the music is sparsely utilized, primarily to drive the human drama and not the action sequences. It is not a typical Hollywood-style score, which often serves to romanticize war as heroic conflict. Rather, it emphasized the suffering. Kraus-Rajteric’s music, frequently interpolated with partisan songs, was also retained in edits created for Germany and Italy. Due to the extensive editing for the English-language versions, Kraus-Rajteric’s score was rejected as it could not be effectively altered to fit the new interpretation, and Bernard Herrmann was engaged to compose a replacement score that would be more familiar to our audiences. For the score, Herrmann chose the London Philharmonic Orchestra, augmented by a large brass and percussion section, a total of 120 pieces, to perform this epic work under his direction.

Bernard Herrmann is one of the greatest composers of motion picture music in the twentieth century. He is considered the man behind some of the most original and distinctive film scores. He was a master at evoking psychological and dramatic tension in his music to suit the dramatic needs of a film. He won his only Oscar in 1947 for writing the score for THE DEVIL AND DANIEL WEBSTER. Herrmann made a powerful mark in radio and in 1934 he began a 25-year career as a conductor and composer in radio, working for the CBS. In 1938, he scored the notorious infamous presentation of Orson Welles’ Halloween production of H. G. Wells’ THE WAR OF THE WORLDS broadcast. He is best remembered for his collaborations with some of Hollywood’s most celebrated film directors like Alfred Hitchcock, Orson Welles, Martin Scorsese and Brian DePalma. Described as a perfectionist, he believed that most directors didn't have a clue about music so he would blithely ignore their instructions. His filmography includes CITIZEN KANE, THE MAGNIFICENT AMBERSONS, NORTH BY NORTHWEST, PSYCHO, VERTIGO, MYSTERIOUS ISLAND, CAPE FEAR, FAHRENHEIT 451, OBSESSION, TAXI DRIVER and many hours of episodic television including THE TWILIGHT ZONE and HAVE GUN, WILL TRAVEL, among others.

Born on December 14, 1924 in Zagreb, Croatia (now part of the former Yugoslavia), Vladimir Kraus-Rajteric is best known for NIGHTS AND DAYS and the anti-war ATOMIC WAR BRIDGE. He passed away on July 29, 1996.

Originally released in the early days of compact disc, Dragon’s Domain Records is excited to bring BATTLE OF NERETVA back to the marketplace, featuring music composed and conducted by Bernard Herrmann, performed by the London Philharmonic Orchestra, newly remastered by James Nelson at Digital Outland.  For the first time, selections from Vladimir Kraus-Rajteric's score from BATTLE OF NERETVA are presented on this release from the best possible elements. The booklet includes liner notes written by author David Hirsch.

Dragon’s Domain Records presents RETURN FROM THE RIVER KWAI, featuring music composed by the legendary Lalo Schifrin (MISSION: IMPOSSIBLE, BULLITT, DIRTY HARRY, ENTER THE DRAGON) for the 1989 war drama directed by Andrew V. McLaglen (THE DEVIL’S BRIGADE, THE UNDEFEATED, THE WILD GEESE), written by Joan Blair, Clay Blair, Jr. And Sargon Tamimi, starring Timothy Bottoms, Nick Tate, George Takei, Edward Fox, Denholm Elliott, Richard Graham, Chris Penn and Tatsuya Nakadai.

Released theatrically in 1989 everywhere except the United States, RETURN FROM THE RIVER KWAI was based upon the book of the same name published by Simon & Shuster in 1989 and written by Clay Blair, Jr. with the assistance of his wife, Joan. It was a re-account of one of the last untold stories of World War II. Considered a work of non-fiction, the book tells the factual account of what happened to the 2,218 Australian and British POWs, and a lone American soldier, who survived what came to be known as ‘the Death Railway’.

Father and son producers Kurt and Daniel Unger engaged composer Lalo Schifrin to compose the score for RETURN FROM THE RIVER KWAI. As an addition to the Schifrin score, a further theme was commissioned for the film from Japanese New Age composer Kitarô. Recording of the Lalo Schifrin score took place in July, 1988 at the Studio Palais de Congrès in Paris. The ‘Japanese Theme’ by Kitarô was recorded by the composer at his home in Tokyo. A few years later, Kitarô would be hired by Oliver Stone to score his film HEAVEN AND EARTH.

As a young man in his native Argentina, Lalo Schifrin received classical training in music and also studied law. He came from a musical family, and his father, Luis Schifrin, was the concertmaster of the Philharmonic Orchestra of Buenos Aires at the Teatro Colon. Schifrin continued his formal music education at the Paris Conservatory during the early 1950’s, studying with numerous teachers including famed composer Olivier Messiaen. Simultaneously, he became a professional jazz pianist, composer and arranger, playing and recording in Europe. When Schifrin returned to Buenos Aires in the mid 1950s, he formed his own big concert band. It was during a performance of this band that Dizzy Gillespie heard Schifrin play and asked him to become his pianist and arranger. In 1958, Schifrin moved to the United States and thus began a remarkable career.

Lalo Schifrin has written more than 100 scores for films and television.

Dragon’s Domain Records presents THE INQUIRER – THE FILM MUSIC OF BERNARD HERRMANN, featuring music composed by Bernard Herrmann and including music from the films CITIZEN KANE, THE MAGNIFICENT AMBERSONS, THE DAY THE EARTH STOOD STILL, THE KENTUCKIAN, THE NIGHT DIGGER, SISTERS, BATTLE OF NERETVA and more.

THE INQUIRER – THE FILM MUSIC OF BERNARD HERRMANN consists of new recordings (from the late 1980s and early 1990s) performed by the Australian Philharmonic Orchestra, conducted by Tony Bremner, the National Philharmonic Orchestra, conducted by Fred Steiner, in addition to the original soundtrack recordings performed by the Sessions Of London Orchestra, conducted by the composer, the London Studio Orchestra, conducted by the composer and the London Philharmonic Orchestra, also conducted by the composer.

Bernard Herrmann is one of the greatest composers of motion picture music in the twentieth century. He is considered the man behind some of the most original and distinctive film scores. He was a master at evoking psychological and dramatic tension in his music to suit the dramatic needs of a film. He won his only Oscar in 1947 for writing the score for THE DEVIL AND DANIEL WEBSTER. Herrmann made a powerful mark in radio and in 1934 he began a 25-year career as a conductor and composer in radio, working for the CBS. In 1938, he scored the infamous presentation of Orson Welles’ Halloween production of H. G. Wells’ THE WAR OF THE WORLDS broadcast. He is best remembered for his collaborations with some of Hollywood’s most celebrated film directors like Alfred Hitchcock, Orson Welles, Martin Scorsese and Brian DePalma. Described as a perfectionist, he believed that most directors didn't have a clue about music so he would blithely ignore their instructions. His filmography includes CITIZEN KANE, THE MAGNIFICENT AMBERSONS, NORTH BY NORTHWEST, PSYCHO, VERTIGO, MYSTERIOUS ISLAND, CAPE FEAR, FAHRENHEIT 451, OBSESSION, TAXI and many hours of episodic television including THE TWILIGHT ZONE and HAVE GUN, WILL TRAVEL, among others.

Originally released on compact disc in 1992, Dragon’s Domain Records is excited to bring THE INQUIRER – THE FILM MUSIC OF BERNARD HERRMANN back to the marketplace, newly remastered by James Nelson at Digital Outland.  THE INQUIRER – THE FILM MUSIC OF BERNARD HERRMANN also includes a specially reconstructed presentation from THE NIGHT DIGGER, assembled from the available elements of the music.

The booklet includes the original extensive liner notes written by John Steven Lasher for the

 album. Many decades later, THE INQUIRER – THE FILM MUSIC OF BERNARD HERRMANN is an important compilation and an excellent introduction to the music of one of the greatest film composers of them all.

THE INQUIRER – THE FILM MUSIC OF BERNARD HERRMANN is a limited edition release. THE INQUIRER – THE FILM MUSIC OF BERNARD HERRMANN will begin shipping the week of April 9th, 2025

Dragon’s Domain Records presents TOO LATE THE HERO, featuring music composed by Gerald Fried (THE MAN FROM U.N.C.L.E., STAR TREK, ROOTS) for the 1970 war film directed by Robert Aldrich (THE DIRTY DOZEN, EMPEROR OF THE NORTH, THE FLIGHT OF THE PHOENIX), written by Aldrich, Robert Sherman and Lukas Heller, starring Michael Caine, Cliff Robertson, Ian Bannen, Harry Andrews, Ronald Fraser, Denholm Elliott, Percy Herbert, Patrick Jordan, Harvey Jason and Henry Fonda.

TOO LATE THE HERO takes place in 1942, in the Pacific Theatre of World War II and follows Lieutenant Junior Grade Sam Lawson (Robertson), a Japanese-language interpreter who, so far, has been able to avoid combat. Captain Nolan (Fonda), his commanding officer, unexpectedly cancels his leave and informs Lawson that he is being assigned to a British infantry commando unit in the New Hebrides Islands for a combat mission... The British base at this location is located in the middle of a large open field, several hundred yards from the edge of the jungle. On the other side of the jungle is a Japanese observation post. The commando group is led by Captain Hornsby (Elliott). Hornsby’s commando group is instructed to destroy the Japanese radio transmitter at the observation post before they can sound the alarm on an American naval convoy that is scheduled to appear on the horizon in just a few days. During the course of executing their mission, they discover the existence of a secret Japanese airfield and planes ready for action...

The music for TOO LATE THE HERO was composed by Gerald Fried. This was a continuation of his collaboration with director Robert Aldrich, which also included THE KILLING OF SISTER GEORGE, WHATEVER HAPPENED TO AUNT ALICE? and THE GRISSOM GANG. The score for TOO LATE THE HERO is one of Fried’s most exciting and impressive orchestral works, constructed for large orchestra (including an expanded percussion section) and implemented with synthesizers and numerous exotic instruments. TOO LATE THE HERO offers a splendid example of Fried’s unique ability to derive fascinating motives from unusual rhythm patterns.

Born February, 1928 in the Bronx, Gerald Fried’s interest in music found its first fruition at the High School of Music & Art in New York City. He attended The Juilliard School of Music as an oboe major, graduating in 1945. Among his earliest friends was a bright kid named Stanley Kubrick. The two of them used to hang around Greenwich Village and talk about their budding interests, Fried’s in classical music and Kubrick’s in filmmaking. Their interests merged when Kubrick began filming DAY OF THE FIGHT, an 18-minute short about boxing. Knowing Fried was a music major, Kubrick asked him if he could write the score for his boxing picture. Fried agreed, then spent months going to the movies to learn how film scores worked, there being no schools or courses on film music in those days. Fried wrote an effective score, and Kubrick sold the film to RKO Pathé. Fried rejoined Kubrick to score four more of his films, including THE KILLING and PATHS TO GLORY, where the young filmmaker first gained his reputation.

After the success of THE KILLING in 1956, Kubrick moved to Los Angeles, shortly followed by Fried, who was immediately hired to compose and arrange music for several films, including THE VAMPIRE, THE RETURN OF DRACULA, MACHINE GUN KELLY and I, MOBSTER, I BURY THE LIVING, and TIMBUKTU (1959). By the 1960s, Fried moved into television, scoring episodes of such seminal shows of the decade as GILLIGAN’S ISLAND, THE MAN FROM U.N.C.L.E., MISSION: IMPOSSIBLE and STAR TREK. By the 1970s Fried was composing music for numerous made-for-TV movies. His best-known score of the decade was for the 1977 miniseries ROOTS, which he took over scoring when Quincy Jones fell behind and was unable to meet the broadcast deadline for the eight-hour miniseries. Both Jones and Fried won Emmy Awards for their musical efforts on the series. During the ‘80s, Fried continued to compose music for television series, movies, and documentaries, and an occasional feature film. These are just two of the many magnificent scores Fried wrote throughout his career. The composer passed away on February 17, 2023 at the age of 95. His work remains a testament to his talent and dedication to the art of composition and he is remembered as a key figure in the evolution of music for film and television.

Originally appearing on compact disc nearly three decades ago and very scarce, Dragon’s Domain Records brings TOO LATE THE HERO back to the marketplace, featuring music composed and conducted by Gerald Fried. The music has been remastered by James Nelson at Digital Outland and reprising the liner notes written by D.L. Fuller for the original release.

TOO LATE THE HERO is a limited edition release.  TOO LATE THE HERO is expected to begin shipping the week of May 19th, 2025

Dragon’s Domain Records presents THE RISE AND FALL OF THE THIRD REICH, a dramatic cantata composed by the legendary Lalo Schifrin (MISSION: IMPOSSIBLE, BULLITT, DIRTY HARRY, ENTER THE DRAGON) based on the Emmy-nominated 1968 television documentary” instead of “for the 1968 directed by Jack Kaufman, produced by David L. Wolper, featuring the narration of Richard Basehart.

David L. Wolper was one of television’s most respected and honored producers. The winner of three Emmys (nominated for eight more), the Oscars’ Jean Hersholt Humanitarian Award and a member of the Television Hall of Fame, Wolper gave us ROOTS, THE THORN BIRDS, NORTH AND SOUTH, the NATIONAL GEOGRAPHIC Specials, WILLY WONKA AND THE CHOCOLATE FACTORY and dozens of other projects over a 40-year career in films and television.

Among his landmark television documentaries was THE RISE AND FALL OF THE THIRD REICH, which aired on ABC over three nights in March 1968. Based on journalist William L. Shirer’s best-selling, award-winning 1960 chronicle of the history of Nazi Germany, it was the result of two years of research and examining more than five million feet of film to tell the story of Adolf Hitler’s rise to power and his eventual downfall at the end of World War II.

Lalo Schifrin had already scored his NATIONAL GEOGRAPHIC “The Hidden World of Insects” and earned an Emmy nomination for the music for THE MAKING OF THE PRESIDENT in 1964. Schifrin’s imagination was sparked by the subject and what followed was unprecedented in the history of music for television: a major concert work performed by a leading American orchestra, debuting eight months before the program that inspired it. THE RISE AND FALL OF THE THIRD REICH cantata debuted at the Hollywood Bowl on Thursday, August 3, 1967.

As a young man in his native Argentina, Lalo Schifrin received classical training in music and also studied law. He came from a musical family, and his father, Luis Schifrin, was the concertmaster of the Philharmonic Orchestra of Buenos Aires at the Teatro Colon. Schifrin continued his formal music education at the Paris Conservatory during the early 1950’s, studying with numerous teachers including famed composer Olivier Messiaen. Simultaneously, he became a professional jazz pianist, composer and arranger, playing and recording in Europe. When Schifrin returned to Buenos Aires in the mid 1950s, he formed his own big concert band. It was during a performance of this band that Dizzy Gillespie heard Schifrin play and asked him to become his pianist and arranger. In 1958, Schifrin moved to the United States and thus began a remarkable career.

Lalo Schifrin has written more than 100 scores for films and television. Among the classic scores are MISSION: IMPOSSIBLE, MANNIX, THE FOX, COOL HAND LUKE, BULLITT, DIRTY HARRY, THE CINCINNATI KID, THE AMITYVILLE HORROR. Later scores include TANGO, BRINGING DOWN THE HOUSE, THE BRIDGE OF SAN LUIS REY, AFTER THE SUNSET, the RUSH HOUR films and ABOMINABLE.

Originally released on vinyl by MGM Records in 1967 with the addition of Laurence Harvey's narration, Dragon’s Domain Records brings THE RISE AND FALL OF THE THIRD REICH to compact disc for the first time, featuring music composed by Lalo Schifrin, performed by members of the Los Angeles Philharmonic, the Gregg Smith Singers and conducted by Lawrence Foster. The music for THE RISE AND FALL OF THE THIRD REICH Cantata appears here minus the narration, music newly mastered by James Nelson at Digital Outland and featuring liner notes written by noted author Jon Burlingame.

THE RISE AND FALL OF THE THIRD REICH is a limited edition release  and is expected to begin shipping the week of May 19th, 2025.

BSXDG0185
Includes Digital Booklet

BSX DIGITAL presents the original soundtrack for THE PASSAGE, featuring music composed by Michael J. Lewis (JULIUS CAESAR, THEATRE OF BLOOD, SPHINX, FFOLKES), for the British action film directed by J. Lee Thompson (THE GUNS OF NAVARONE), written by Bruce Nicolaysen and Stephen Oliver, starring Anthony Quinn, James Mason, Patricia Neal, Kay Lenz, Paul Clemens, Christopher Lee, Michael Lonsdale and Marcel Bozzuffi.

Released in 1979, THE PASSAGE is set against the backdrop of World War II as a resilient Basque farmer (Quinn) is called upon by the French resistance to help facilitate the escape of John Bergson (Mason), a brilliant scientist, and his family across the treacherous Pyrenees mountains to the safety of neutral Spain. In pursuit is Captain Von Berkow (McDowell), a ruthless SS officer who perhaps enjoys his work a little too much...

THE PASSAGE is accompanied by a sweeping symphonic score that propels its narrative forward and heightens the palpable sense of danger throughout its key moments. Lewis’ compositions are expansive and lush, beautifully reflecting the breathtaking snowy landscapes where the film takes place. At the 70th Annual Academy Awards, the evocative ‘Apassionata’ from this score was used during the ‘In Memoriam’ segment, conducted by the great Jerry Goldsmith.

Michael J. Lewis is an Emmy award-winning composer of film, television, Broadway and choral works. Born in Aberystwyth, Ceredigion, Wales, he studied harmony, counterpoint, and composition at the Guildhall School of Music and Drama. After a brief teaching career in North London, he became a full-time composer at the age of 24.

Lewis was incredibly prolific in the late 1970s and early 1980s. His filmography includes THEATRE OF BLOOD, THE MEDUSA TOUCH, THE LION, THE WITCH AND THE WARDROBE, for which he earned an Emmy, JULIUS CAESAR, THE MAN WHO HAUNTED HIMSELF, 11 HARROWHOUSE, THE MADWOMAN OF CHAILLOT, NORTH SEA HIJACK also known as FFOLKES, THE ROSE AND THE JACKAL and YES, GIORGIO, a shared music credit with composer John Williams.

In addition, Lewis began writing music for British

 TV commercials for British Rail, Tesco, 7 Up, Ford, and Audi and after relocating to the United States, he scored national TV campaigns for IBM, Lipton, Kentucky Fried Chicken, 3M, and Connecticut National Bank.

Following the passing of his daughter in 1994, the composer shifted his interest from film to the writing and adapting of music and vocals, both sacred and secular, from his native homeland. Michael J. Lewis currently resides and composes amidst the pines of Mississippi, the birthplace of American music, and continues to record in New Orleans, home of the Blues.

BSX Digital presents THE PASSAGE, featuring music composed and conducted by Michael J. Lewis, meticulously remastered by James Nelson at Digital Outland, honoring the composer’s original vision by following the intended order of the music.

Neu von Quartet:

Quartet Records, in collaboration with GDM and Universal Music Publishing Italia, presents a remastered reissue of the ultimate edition of Ennio Morricone’s score for Elio Petri’s 1973 social drama-comedy LA PROPRIETÀ NON E’PIÙ UN FURTO (aka PROPERTY IS NO LONGER A THEFT), a grotesque satire about a neurotic Marxist bank teller who quits his job and sets his sights on stealing everything—from tools to a mistress—from one of his former clients, a successful butcher. Starring Ugo Tognazzi, Flavio Bucci and Daria Nicolodi, this film is the last chapter in Petri’s famous trilogy of the Neurosis, after INDAGINE SU UN CITTADINO AL DI SOPRA DI OGNI SOSPETTO and LA CLASSE OPERIA VA IN PARADISO.

Ennio Morricone returns to the timbral and electronic exploration carried out in the two previous films, replicating the noises of the modern, oppressive and futuristic city. He also employs a grotesque march to accompany the actions that the institutions of the law pursue: theft, kidnapping, fraud. However, the music departs from those earlier scores not only because of the formal language employed, dominated by the use of voices and avant-garde compositional techniques, but also because of an openly painful tone, of the slowed-down disbelief in decadence.

In 1973, RCA released the score on LP in Italy; they reissued it on CD in the 1990s. In 2009, GDM released an expanded edition containing virtually the entire score recorded by Morricone but that has long been out of print. This is a reissue of that release, freshly remastered by Chris Malone from the original master tapes and supervised by Claudio Fuiano. The package includes an essay by Miguel Ángel Ordóñez discussing the film and the score.

Quartet Records, in collaboration with GDM and EMI General Music Publishing, presents a remastered edition of the iconic and long out-of-print score by Berto Pisano for the action-adventure film KILL! (1971). The film was written and directed by novelist Romain Gary (who only directed two films), and starred Stephen Boyd, Jean Seberg, James Mason, Curt Jüngens and Aldo Sambrell.

KILL! was a chaotic mess, with actors who didn’t know what they were doing and a far-fetched plot about Interpol investigating the freelance murders of drug and porn dealers in Pakistan. Over time, however, the film has become a funny and entertaining subgenre pulp cartoon.

The score by Berto Pisano (co-composed by the unknown Jacques Chaumont, who, according to several sources, can be a pseudonym for Pisano himself) deserves special mention. One of Pisano’s great skills was his ability to combine Italian musical tradition with new sounds emerging at the time. In KILL! the composer provides a cocktail of exotic sounds, exciting action passages and sophisticated erotic motifs. The title song is performed by the Queen of Soul, Doris Troy, and the love theme features the whisperings of Jean Seberg and the chorus of Alessandroni.

KILL! was originally released on LP in Italy by General Music (whose original cover art we have retained for this Quartet CD) and in Japan by Seven Seas. Later, the CD was issued three times in Japan by three different labels, but all of them have been out of print for years. This is the first European release of the score on CD. It has been remastered and restored by Chris Malone from the original stereo master tapes, and the booklet includes liner notes by Miguel Angel Ordóñez.

Quartet Records, in collaboration with GDM and EMI General Music Publishing, presents an expanded and remastered edition of Armando Trovajoli’s infectious score for the Ettore Scola film noir IL COMMISSARIO PEPE (1969), starring Ugo Tognazzi and Silvia Dionisio. The film is about Pepe (Tognazzi), a police commissioner in a little town in the Italian Venetian province who investigates a prostitution ring run by two pensioners. During his investigations he also learns that a former manicurist has shacked up with ten students, the prefect’s daughter prostitutes herself to keep her pimp, a famous doctor has sex with his young patients, a headmaster has his eyes on the pupils, a noblewoman organizes orgies in her villa, the local convent is run by a lesbian and his own girlfriend poses for a hardcore magazine. He wants everything to come out in the open, but his superior put obstacles in his way.

The collaboration between Armando Trovajoli and Ettore Scola has been one of the most celebrated in Italian cinema during their four decades together, producing classics such as L’ARCIDIAVOLO, BRUTTI SPORCHI E CATTIVI, DRAMMA DELLA GELOSIA, LA TERRAZZA, LA FAMIGLIA and PASSION D’AMORE, among others. For Scola, Trovajoli’s music was the voice of his films, the single element that really completed them. In IL COMMISSARIO PEPE, he contributed one of his most celebrated scores, with the famous song “We’ll Keep Trying,” performed by Lydia McDonald, as well as several urban and bittersweet themes to showcase the world of moral decay depicted in the film. The recording also featured other prestigious collaborators such as I Marc 4, Edda Dell’Orso, and Alessandro Alessandroni, making this score even more iconic.

A selection of 10 cues from IL COMMISSARIO PEPE was released on LP in Italy by RCA at the time of the film’s premiere. The same program was released on CD in the 1990s as part of a compilation dedicated to Ugo Tognazzi by Point Records. An extended 18-track version was released in Japan in 2006 in a limited edition. This is the first time the complete score has been released. Produced by Claudio Fuiano, restored and mastered by Chris Malone, the booklet includes a detailed essay by Miguel Ángel Ordóñez on the film, the score and the relationship between Trovajoli and Scola.

Dragon’s Domain Records presents the world premiere release of music from the original score composed by the legendary Lalo Schifrin for the 1971 television movie written and produced by Sam Rolfe (HAVE GUN – WILL TRAVEL, THE NAKED SPUR, THE MAN FROM U.N.C.L.E.), directed by David Lowell Rich (ROUTE 66, THE HORROR AT 37,000 FEET, THAT MAN BOLT), starring Eric Braeden, Stephen Young, Corinne Camacho, Walter Pidgeon, Inger Stevens, Joseph Wiseman, William Marshall, Christopher Cary and Lincoln Kilpatrick.

Airing on television in early March 1970, THE MASK OF SHEBA was a two hour pilot for a series that never got picked up and follows Dr. Roan Morgan (Braeden), an archaeologist-anthropologist and his teammates, engineer Travis Comanche (Young) and Dr. Joanna Glenville (Camacho), who report to Dr. Max Van Condon (Pidgeon), who is the head of the Foundation Of Man, an organization that searches the globe for ancient artifacts to help document historical events or people and funds Morgan’s expeditions. After a Foundation cartographer goes missing in the jungles of Ethiopia while trying to map an ancient trail, his wife Sarah (Stevens) appears at the Foundation with a 3,000-year-old amulet sent to her by her husband, demanding to join the expedition to find him and what may possibly be a priceless treasure, including a golden, jewel-encrusted mask of the legendary queen of Sheba, waiting to be recovered.

Lalo Schifrin has written more than 100 scores for films and television. Among the classic scores are MISSION: IMPOSSIBLE, MANNIX, THE FOX, COOL HAND LUKE, BULLITT, DIRTY HARRY, THE CINCINNATI KID, THE AMITYVILLE HORROR. Recent scores include TANGO, BRINGING DOWN THE HOUSE, THE BRIDGE OF SAN LUIS REY, AFTER THE SUNSET, the RUSH HOUR films and ABOMINABLE.

Dragon’s Domain Records presents THE MASK OF SHEBA, featuring music composed by Lalo Schifrin for the first time on compact disc. The music has been mastered by James Nelson at Digital Outland and includes exclusive liner notes written by noted author Jon Burlingame.

Dragon’s Domain Records presents the premiere release of the original motion picture soundtrack for HEART OF THE STAG, featuring music composed and conducted by Leonard Rosenman (EAST OF EDEN, FANTASTIC VOYAGE, THE LORD OF THE RINGS) for the 1984 dramatic film directed by by Michael Firth (OFF THE EDGE), written by Firth, Neil Illingworth and Bruno Lawrence, starring Bruno Lawrence, Terence Cooper, Mary Regan, Anne Flannery, Michael Wilson and Susanne Cowie.

Released in 1984, HEART OF THE STAG tells the story of Peter (Lawrence), a farmhand in New Zealand who discovers that Robert (Cooper), the farmer he works for has been carrying on an incestuous relationship with his daughter, Cathy (Regan) for years. As Peter becomes more involved with Cathy, he is forced to confront the dark and tumultuous dynamics within the family. Delving into the taboo subject of incest, HEART OF THE STAG does so with remarkable sensitivity and candor and was well regarded by critics at the time.

The score for HEART OF THE STAG was composed by Leonard Rosenman, who was well known for tackling sensitive and sometimes controversial subjects throughout his career, which included films such as EAST OF EDEN, THE COBWEB, THE CHAPMAN REPORT, SYBIL and MAKING LOVE.

Composer Leonard Rosenman was born on 7 September, 1924 in Brooklyn, New York to Jewish immigrants from Poland. After serving in the Pacific with the United States Army Air Forces during World War II, Rosenman earned a bachelor's degree in music from the University of California, Berkeley. He studied composition under renowned composers such as Arnold Schoenberg, Roger Sessions, and Luigi Dallapiccola. Rosenman’s entree to film scoring came about when his friend, actor James Dean, introduced him to director Elia Kazan, who was about to cast Dean in his film EAST OF EDEN and who subsequently hired Rosenman for the music. The Brooklyn-born composer introduced a modern-music sensibility to commercial films, especially with his next work, THE COBWEB, hailed as the first 12-tone score for a Hollywood film. His filmography includes EAST OF EDEN, REBEL WITHOUT A CAUSE, THE COBWEB, THE CHAPMAN REPORT, FANTASTIC VOYAGE, A MAN CALLED HORSE, BENEATH THE PLANET OF THE APES, BATTLE FOR THE PLANET OF THE APES, RACE WITH THE DEVIL, THE CAR, the animated THE LORD OF THE RINGS adaptation and PROPHECY. He contributed music to many television shows including COMBAT, THE TWILIGHT ZONE, LAW OF THE PLAINSMAN, GARRISON’S GORILLAS, THE VIRGINIAN, MARCUS WELBY, M.D. and more.

Dragon’s Domain Records presents HEART OF THE STAG, featuring music composed and conducted by Leonard Rosenman, performed by the New Zealand Symphony Orchestra for the first time on compact disc. Although a release was planned by Fifth Continent Music back in 2001, the project was never realized. This premiere release of HEART OF THE STAG includes the entire score presented in film order and also includes some source music composed for the film that went unused. The album includes liner notes written by G.B. Kemner and Scott Davis. The music has been mastered by James Nelson at Digital Outland.

HEART OF THE STAG is a limited edition release and is expected to begin shipping the week of June 23.

Dragon’s Domain Records presents HAMMERSMITH IS OUT, featuring music composed by Dominic Frontiere (THE OUTER LIMITS, THE INVADERS, BRANNIGAN, THE AVIATOR) for the 1972 dark comedy directed by Peter Ustinov (BILLY BUDD), written by Stanford Whitmore, starring Elizabeth Taylor, Richard Burton, Peter Ustinov, Beau Bridges, Leon Askin, Leon Ames, George Raft, John Schuck, Marjorie Eaton and Linda Gaye Scott.

Released in 1972, HAMMERSMITH follows Billy Breedlove (Bridges), an orderly at a Texas psychiatric hospital as he becomes involved with two patients, Jimmie Jean Jackson (Taylor), a waitress, and the enigmatic Hammersmith (Burton), who promises Billy fame and fortune if he helps him escape. The trio embark on a crime-fueled adventure where Billy rises in social status, becoming an owner of various businesses and a political financier. Over time, he grows to resent Jimmie Jean, while Hammersmith grants her wish to become a mother. Eventually, Hammersmith orchestrates Billy's disability and suicide, leading to his own return to confinement...

Dominic Frontiere's music for HAMMERSMITH IS OUT stands out as a remarkable and eclectic addition to his lengthy film catalog. The movie required a diverse range of musical styles, beginning with a compelling main title theme that evokes a distinctly 1970s atmosphere, serving as a recurring motif for the character of Hammersmith and a beautiful theme for Elizabeth Taylor’s character. In addition to the primary score, Frontiere was tasked with crafting numerous cues that could be classified as "source music."

His collaboration with director Leslie Stevens began with THE MARRIAGE-GO-ROUND and led to work on THE OUTER LIMITS. Frontiere composed themes for several notable shows in the 1960s, including THE RAT PATROL, BRANDED and THE FUGITIVE. He scored Clint Eastwood's HANG 'EM HIGH, which featured a top-10 hit by Booker T. & the M.G.'s, as well as the documentary ON ANY SUNDAY and three John Wayne films. In the early 1970s, he became the head of the music department at Paramount Pictures, working on both film scores and popular music albums. He won a Golden Globe for THE STUNT MAN and created a jingle for Paramount's television division. His final film score was for the 1994 thriller THE COLOR OF NIGHT, starring Bruce Willis.

Dragon’s Domain Records presents HAMMERSMITH IS OUT on two CDs, featuring the premiere release of the complete score on Disc 1 along with the  album version plus bonus tracks on Disc 2. The music has been newly mastered by James Nelson at Digital Outland and the liner notes have been written by author G.B. Kenmer and Scott Davis.

Dragon’s Domain Records presents the original soundtrack to THE NIGHT DIGGER, featuring music composed by Bernard Herrmann (CITIZEN KANE, PSYCHO, TAXI DRIVER) for the 1971 psychological thriller directed by Alastair Reid (BABY LOVE, NOSTROMO), written by Roald Dahl and Jay Cowley, starring Patricia Neal, Pamela Brown, Nicholas Clay, Jean Anderson, Graham Crowden, Yootha Joyce and Peter Sallis.

Released in 1971, THE NIGHT DIGGER follows spinster Maura Prince (Neal) as her dreary existence taking care of her elderly mother, Edith (Brown) is interrupted by the arrival of young handyman Billy Jarvis (Clay), who awakens something unexpected in her. But there is far more to Billy than meets the eye as Maura is about to discover...

Bernard Herrmann is one of the greatest composers of motion picture music in the twentieth century. He is considered the man behind some of the most original and distinctive film scores. He was a master at evoking psychological and dramatic tension in his music to suit the dramatic needs of a film. He won his only Oscar in 1947 for writing the score for THE DEVIL AND DANIEL WEBSTER. Herrmann made a powerful mark in radio and in 1934 he began a 25-year career as a conductor and composer in radio, working for the CBS. In 1938, he scored the notorious infamous presentation of Orson Welles’ Halloween production of H. G. Wells’ THE WAR OF THE WORLDS broadcast. He is best remembered for his collaborations with some of Hollywood’s most celebrated film directors like Alfred Hitchcock, Orson Welles, Martin Scorsese and Brian DePalma. Described as a perfectionist, he believed that most directors didn't have a clue about music so he would blithely ignore their instructions. His filmography includes CITIZEN KANE, THE MAGNIFICENT AMBERSONS, NORTH BY NORTHWEST, PSYCHO, VERTIGO, MYSTERIOUS ISLAND, CAPE FEAR, FAHRENHEIT 451, OBSESSION, TAXI DRIVER and many hours of episodic television including THE TWILIGHT ZONE and HAVE GUN, WILL TRAVEL, among others.

Originally released on compact disc in 1994, Dragon’s Domain Records is excited to bring THE NIGHT DIGGER back to the marketplace, featuring music composed and conducted by Bernard Herrmann, performed by Sessions Of London, newly remastered by James Nelson at Digital Outland.  THE NIGHT DIGGER features a specially reconstructed presentation assembled from the available elements of the music. The booklet includes the original liner notes written by John Steven Lasher for the album.

THE NIGHT DIGGER is a limited edition release.

 

THE NIGHT DIGGER is expected to begin shipping the week of June 23, 2025.

Bei mir genauso. Bzw.: Ich hatte bei Dragons Domain Records mal bestellt, irgendwann kam eine Tracking-Nr. der US-Post und 3 Monate lang konnte die Tracking-Nr. keine Sendung lokalisieren. Als es endlich gelang, klingelte tags darauf die Post mit der Lieferung in der Hand. 
Zum Bestellen ein Nervenkitzel, aber die Preise die verlangt werden sind absolut ok und die Titel eigentlich sehr interessant, da keine Blockbuster-Scores.

Neu von Quartet:

The Trilogy of Power or Neurosis, consisting of INDIGINE SU CITTADINO AL DI SOPRA DI OGNI SOSPETTO (1969), LA CLASSE OPERAIA VA IN PARADISO (1971) and LA PROPRIETÀ NON È PIÙ UN FURTO (1973), put director Elio Petri at the center of controversy in international cinema. With these films, he laid the foundation for a new vision of the Italian reality of the late 1960s. It was a time during which Petri experienced the student struggles, the red and black terrorism, the Piazza Fontana massacre, the death of Pinelli at the hands of the authorities, the growth of the Mafia and clientelism. He experienced it all firsthand and wanted to tell the story.

Ennio Morricone created a particular sound for Petri’s social cinema based on grotesque forms and adding profane elements to the music itself. They formed one of the most special and memorable duos in 1970s Italian cinema, working together on seven films.

Quartet Records, in collaboration wth Cinevox Records, GDM and Universal Music Publishing Italia, is proud to have been able to bring the three albums of the TRILOGIA DEL POTERE back to the market, with completely remastered sound. This strictly limited edition of 300 copies is an opportunity to present the three albums together, housed in an exclusive slipcase. The three scores are presented on separate CDs in separate jewel cases (exactly the same as the separate ones), supervised by Claudio Fuiano and carefully mastered by Chris Malone from the first-generation master tapes. They are complemented by richly illustrated booklets containing detailed essays on the films and scores written by Miguel Ángel Órdóñez.

Quartet Records, in collaboration with Cinevox Records, presents a completely new edition of Ennio Morricone’s masterful score for Elio Petri’s masterpiece from 1969, INDAGINE SU UN CITTADINO AL DI SOPRA DI OGNI SOSPETTO. Academy-Award winner of Best Foreign Film in 1970, the film stars Gian Maria Volonté and Florinda Bolkan in a quintessential example of social and protest cinema.

The intricate plot concerns a high-ranking police inspector who kills his mistress and deliberately plants clues indicating his responsibility for the crime in a sardonic test to prove that he is above suspicion.

The iconic score written by Ennio Morricone is the pivot point of a grotesque substratum of black comedy that blurs over a subversive and iconoclastic drama. Starting from the instrumentation used—mandolin, classical guitar, out-of-tune piano, bassoons, synthesizer and mouth harp—the interpretation of the piece, careless, somewhat dirty and imprecise, brilliantly evokes the murkiness insinuated by the images.

The album of INDAGINE has been released many times, both on vinyl and CD—although until the first simultaneous American and French LP releases in 1981, only a 45-rpm single with the two main themes had existed. But it was always in mono until, in 2007, Cinevox released an expanded edition with the original album in mono and some film versions and alternates remixed in stereo from an incomplete multi-track. Now, thanks to the discovery of the original elements, we are able to present the original album and all the film versions and alternates in full stereo for the first time. Since there was room, we have included the remastered mono album, as it featured unique mixes and takes.

This 2025 edition was mixed, restored and mastered by Chris Malone and produced by Claudio Fuiano and Dániel Winkler. The accompanying booklet includes an essay by Miguel Ángel Ordóñez discussing the film and score.

Quartet Records presents a remastered CD reissue of the long-out-of-print soundtrack by Ennio Morricone for the 1983 police thriller COPKILLER (aka ORDER OF DEATH).

Coproduced between Italy, France and the U.S., and directed by longtime Morricone collaborator Roberto Faenza, the film stars Johnny Rotten (famous punk-star from the group Sex Pistols), Harvey Keitel and Nicole Garcia. The plot is about a pair of corrupt cops spending their illegal cash on an uptown New York City apartment.

Morricone’s score comes from the composer’s fertile period of poliziotteschi thrillers and his collaborations with Henri Verneuil in Belmondo’s French polars in the early 1980s. The music features the psychedelic, percussion-heavy and often ostinato-based cues that Morricone typically reserved for the steamy chaos of his crime-film scores.

General Music released the score on LP in France and Germany in 1983, and GDM on CD in 2002. This new edition contains the same program, produced by Claudio Fuiano and Dániel Winkler, rebuilt and remastered by Chris Malone from the first-generation stereo master tapes. The package includes a richly illustrated booklet with in-depth liner notes by Daniel Schweiger discussing the film and the score.

Neu von Dragon's Domain:

Dragon’s Domain Records presents the premiere release of music composed by Don Davis (THE MATRIX films, JURASSIC PARK III, BEHIND ENEMY LINES) for the 1996 television mini-series PANDORA’S CLOCK, based on the novel by John Nance, written by David Israel, directed by Eric Laneauville, starring Richard Dean Anderson, Daphne Zuniga, Jane Leeves, Richard Lawson, Stephen Root, Tim Grimm, Robert Guillaume, Robert Loggia, Jerry Hardin, Kurt Fuller, Jennifer Savidge, Grant Goodeve, Vladimir Kulich, Michael Winters and Edward Herrmann as the President.

Airing in two parts on television in 1996, PANDORA’S CLOCK follows a man infected with a deadly virus aboard a Boeing 747-200 who is traveling from Frankfurt to New York’s JFK Airport. The story begins in Bavaria, where Professor Ernest Helms (Winter), a wildlife documentarian, has a violent incident with a stranger attempting to break into his rental car. After treating a minor wound and despite exhibiting symptoms of an illness, Helms boards International Flight 66, piloted by Captain James Holland (Anderson). Shortly after takeoff, Helms suffers cardiac arrest. Flight attendants perform CPR, and the crew attempts to divert the flight to London, but their request is denied as the authorities have become aware of a potential virus outbreak. As tensions escalate, the U.S. President tries to reroute the flight to RAF Base Mildenhall but the British government mobilizes their forces to block the landing. Eventually, the flight is allowed to land at a U.S. base in Iceland, where a passenger is shot while attempting to break quarantine. Captain Holland takes off again in an attempt to land in Mauritania, only to face off against a Learjet armed with a missile. Anderson manages to outwit the enemy plane and land safely on an isolated volcanic island.

The music for PANDORA'S CLOCK is entirely composed using electronic elements, produced by composer Don Davis. This innovative score is meticulously designed to enhance the action, from the thrilling opening chase scene featuring an infected individual, to a climactic tension-filled conclusion.

Don Davis began playing trumpet and piano at the age of nine and started writing music at twelve. As his affinity for music grew, so did his aspirations and soon he was composing and arranging orchestral charts for local jazz ensembles that he also performed with. After graduation from high school, Davis furthered his study of music at UCLA, majoring in music theory and composition, playing trumpet in college jazz ensembles and orchestras. Although Davis' primary interest had been jazz and rock, he found himself enamored with the avant-garde side of modern music. UCLA introduced Davis to a new world of musical possibilities, and before long he'd begun to plan his future as a composer with an eye toward film music. After graduation from UCLA, Davis continued to study composition with Henri Lazarof and orchestration under Albert Harris. Harris introduced the young Davis to film and television composer Joe Harnell, best known for his work on TV shows such as V and THE INCREDIBLE HULK. Harnell was immediately impressed by Davis' attention to orchestral detail, especially as evidenced by a chamber symphony Davis was writing at the time and became a mentor to Davis and introduced him to the professional world of film and television scoring. His filmography includes music for films such as HYPERSPACE, BOUND, WARRIORS OF VIRTUE,THE MATRIX films, HOUSE ON HAUNTED HILL, ANTITRUST, VALENTINE, JURASSIC PARK III, THE UNSAID, BEHIND ENEMY LINES and THE MARINE.

Dragon’s Domain Records presents the premiere release of PANDORA’S CLOCK, featuring music composed by Don Davis, with liner notes written by author G.B. Kemner and Scott Davis. The music has been mastered by James Nelson at Digital Outland.

Dragon’s Domain Records presents the premiere release of the original motion picture score composed by Steve Edwards (BRIDGE OF DRAGONS, NINJA, FEAST) for the 1998 action film directed by Dean Semler, written by Michael Sussman and John Kingswell, based on the novel by ‘The Last Canadian’ by William Heine, starring Steven Seagal, L.Q. Jones, Gailard Sartain, Camilla Belle, Whitney Yellow Robe, Brad Leland, Philip Winchester and Leonard Mountain Chief.

Released in 1996, THE PATRIOT follows Dr. Wesley McClaren, a local doctor and former government research immunologist, also a weapons and self-defense expert with an interest in herbal medicine as he is called to a hospital where people start dying from an unknown and very deadly disease. After determining that the cause is a highly dangerous airborne virus, he calls in a Biological Response team who proceed to seal off the town while doctors start to treat patients with a vaccine. The source of the virus is traced to Floyd Chisholm (Sartain), a local militia leader. Chisholm gives himself up at the end of a long siege but not before ingesting the virus himself. Appearing court, he spits on the judge and starts the rapid spread of the disease... Floyd’s followers attack the prison where Floyd is being held and break him out. Floyd and his men proceed to lay siege to the hospital where patients are being treated and take hostages, including McClaren and his daughter, Holly. Can McClaren find a cure for the virus with all these distractions before it’s too late?

Composer Steve Edwards’ music education began at an early age, with training by his mother, Rosalie Edwards. His musical passions broadened and deepened during his years as a student at Interlochen followed by studies at Lawrence University, where he received a Bachelor of Music in piano performance. While studying at Lawrence, Edwards won the Outstanding Classical Soloist award sponsored by Downbeat magazine and the All-American College Orchestra National Talent Search sponsored by Disney World. He was honored with the school’s Nathan M. Pusey Young Alumni Achievement Award. Edwards continued his studies at the Dick Grove School of Music in Los Angeles.

As one of Hollywood’s most prolific composers, Edwards’ original compositions are featured in top grossing films including DALLAS BUYERS CLUB, NOMADLAND, AVA, SOUTHPAW, THE MECHANIC, AMELIA, I LOVE YOU, PHILIP MORRIS and many other films in genres ranging from comedy to action, martial arts and documentaries. His original songs and instrumental compositions can be heard on television series such as TWO AND A HALF MEN, IT’S ALWAYS SUNNY IN PHILADELPHIA, MAD MEN, THE BLACKLIST, ER, TRANSPARENT and many other series.

Dragon’s Domain Records presents the premiere release of the unused score for TABLE FOR FIVE composed by John Morris (BLAZING SADDLES, YOUNG FRANKENSTEIN, THE ELEPHANT MAN, THE SCARLET LETTER) for the 1983 drama directed by Robert Lieberman, written by David Seltzer, starring Jon Voight, Richard Crenna, Marie-Christine Barrault, Millie Perkins, Roxana Zal, Robby Kiger, Son Hoang Bui and Maria O’Brien.

Released in 1983, TABLE FOR FIVE follows a divorced couple at odds over the welfare of their three children. Jon Voight plays J.P. Tanner, a former professional golfer, who is estranged from his children and longs to re-enter their lives. J.P. comes up with the idea of springing a surprise Mediterranean cruise to Egypt on them, in spite of his ex-wife Kathleen’s acquiescing and contrarian instincts. On the cruise, J.P. uses the time to reacquaint himself with his children while also pursuing a romance with Marie (Barrault), a French archaeologist. The plot thickens when news reaches the boat that Kathleen has been killed in a terrible car accident back in New York, leaving J.P. in conflict over the fate of the children with Mitchell (Crenna), Kathleen’s surviving husband.

John Morris was the original composer brought on to compose the music for TABLE FOR FIVE. For reasons not publicly known, the majority of his music went unused in the final cut of the film and the filmmakers brought in composer Miles Goodman to provide additional music. Morris’ score is lush and full of kaleidoscopic orchestral color, in contrast with Goodman’s music for the film.

John Morris was born in Elizabeth, New Jersey, to Thomas and Helen. He became interested in music as early as three years old when he started learning to play the piano and visiting friends in The Bronx with his parents. His family moved to Independence, Kansas, while he was young, and Morris continued studying piano. By the late 1940s, he moved back to New York City, where he studied at both Juilliard School and at The New School for Social Research. From the 1950s through the 1970s, Morris helped to compose incidental music and dance numbers for a number of Broadway productions. Morris worked with Mel Brooks, starting with Brooks' first film THE PRODUCERS. Prior to this, the two had worked together on two musicals, SHINBONE ALLEY and ALL-AMERICAN. Morris did the original arrangement for ‘Springtime for Hitler’ and the rest of the film's underscore. Morris would continue to work with Brooks on many of his films, including those produced by his production company, Brooksfilms. His filmography includes THE PRODUCERS, THE TWELVE CHAIRS, BLAZING SADDLES, YOUNG FRANKENSTEIN, THE ADVENTURE OF SHERLOCK HOLMES’ SMARTER BROTHER, SILENT MOVIE, THE LAST REMAKE OF BEAU GESTE, HIGH ANXIETY, THE IN-LAWS, THE ELEPHANT MAN, CLUE, HAUNTED HONEYMOON and IRONWEED.

Dragon’s Domain Records presents TABLE FOR FIVE, featuring the premiere release of music from the original score composed and conducted by John Morris. The album includes liner notes written by composer and author Brian Satterwhite. The music has been mastered by James Nelson at Digital Outland.

Dragon’s Domain Records presents THE GIL MELLÉ COLLECTION – VOL. 2, featuring the world premiere releases of two scores composed by Gil Mellé from his lengthy filmography.

Released in 1981, THE LAST CHASE is a dystopian science fiction film directed by Martyn Burke (POWER PLAY), written by Christopher Crowe, Roy Moore and Burke, starring Lee Majors, Chris Makepeace, Burgess Meredith, Alexandra Stewart, Diane D’Aquila, George Touliatos and Harvey Atkin. Set in a post-apocalyptic 2011, the United States has become a police state that outlaws private vehicles. Franklyn Hart, (Majors) a former race car driver who lost his family to a virus, secretly restores his orange Porsche to escape to 'Free California' with electronics expert Ring McCarthy (Makepeace). Their journey symbolizes the resistance against an oppressive regime, drawing huge public support. Initially tasked with stopping them, Air Force pilot J.G. Williams (Meredith) ultimately sacrifices himself to aid their escape. Gil Melle's score for THE LAST CHASE combines a full symphony orchestra with custom synthesizers, capturing themes of adventure and freedom.

Airing on television in 1976, DYNASTY was written by James Michener (HAWAII, CENTENNIAL, TALES OF THE SOUTH PACIFIC) and Sidney Carroll, starring Stacy Keach, Harris Yulin, Harrison Ford, Sarah Miles, Gerritt Graham, Tony Swartz, Amy Irving, Charles Weldon, John Carter and Rayford Barnes. DYNASTY was a television movie that chronicled the rivalry between the Blackwood brothers over a period of 35 years. Gil Mellé's score for DYNASTY was composed for a large chamber orchestra, evoking a style reminiscent of Aaron Copland, effectively capturing the film's historical setting and the complex personal relationships within.

For nearly five decades, composer Gil Mellé innovated in mixing electronic and orchestral music when he wasn’t playing the nuances of modern jazz or enjoying his collection of unique microscopes at home. Mellé had made a mark in the world of jazz as an outstanding baritone saxophonist and composer who was also noted as a painter. In film and television, his music has been extraordinarily notable, if not well preserved, on records and CDs. His TV-movie music in the early ’70s included a trio of high-profile films for television: MY SWEET CHARLIE, THAT CERTAIN SUMMER, and FRANKENSTEIN: THE TRUE STORY. His most well-known film score was THE ANDROMEDA STRAIN, but as an innovator in the use of electronic music in movies of the 1970s and ’80s, Mellé contributed to a many science fiction, fantasy, and horror television and feature film scores, including NIGHT GALLERY (theme and episodes), THE SIX MILLION DOLLAR MAN (original TV-movie), A COLD NIGHT’S DEATH, THE QUESTOR TAPES, KOLCHAK: THE NIGHT STALKER, STARSHIP INVASIONS, WORLD WAR III, and many others.  Mellé’s efforts preceded almost everyone else’s experiments in electronic film music and resulted in the first true electronic film score.

Dragon’s Domain Records presents THE GIL MELLÉ COLLECTION – VOL. 2, featuring the world premiere releases of music composed by Gil Mellé for THE LAST CHASE and James Michener’s DYNASTY. This release includes liner notes written by G.B. Kenmir and the music has been mastered by James Nelson at Digital Outland.

THE GIL MELLÉ COLLECTION – VOL. 2 is a limited edition release. THE GIL MELLÉ COLLECTION – VOL. 2 is expected to begin shipping the week of July 23 2025.

[Lars Potreck]

The Patriot ist ein cooler Score mit einem ausgezeichneten Hauptthema. Wertet den Film durchaus auf und passt zu den schönen Landschaftsaufnahmen. Habe schon lange auf eine Veröffentlichung gehofft. 

[Stese]

DDR wird momentan immer besser an interessanten Titeln und der Menge an Publikationen. 
Ist irgendwie mein „zweites Quartet Records“ geworden.

The Patriot und Table for Five wandern in die Sammlung. Bei der Gil Melle Collection muss ich mal schauen.

[Lars Potreck]

Vielleicht kommen hier ja dann noch irgendwann die Scores zu Seagals Filmen Glimmer Man und Fire Down Below. Aber auch einige seiner Dtv Produktionen hatten einige nette Scores.

[ronin1975]

zum requel von I KNOW WHAT YOU DID LAST SUMMER kommt der Score zu äh I KNOW WHAT YOU DID LAST SUMMER von Chanda Dancy, der wohl einzigen schwarzen Komponistin in Hollywood. Ihre Score fallen sehr unterschiedlich aus, finde ich aber immer ganz gut oder gefällig. Hier geht sie in Richtung Debneys Score, aber da der Film wohl keine langen Actionpassagen hat gibt es eher nur Suspense... im Film sicher ok, aber geht neben vielen Songs wahrscheinlich auch unter. Immerhin ein orchestraler Horrorscore, was heute ja schon was wert ist:

 

 

[TheRealNeo]

Der Score zum ersten Teil von John Debney, wenn ich das richtig sehe, gibt es nur eine Promo und ein Bootleg?
