In einem Interview hat Bear McCreary die Veröffentlichung von HUMAN TARGET als Download für den 5.10.2010 angekündigt.

It comes out in a shortened version on iTunes on October 5, and a 3-disc, four-hour version on October 19.

Das 3 Disc-Set wird von La-La Land Records veröffentlicht werden.

Short? Download-Only? Ignore!

Aber für die, die nicht so viel Geld ausgeben oder nicht warten können ist es bestimmt nicht schlecht.

Auch nach 2 Wochen hat es WaterTower Records scheinbar nicht geschafft den Download anzubieten, auch wenn die Pressemeldung was anderes verlauten lässt:

TWO VERSIONS OF BEAR MCCREARYS HUMAN TARGET SOUNDTRACK

TO BE RELEASED IN OCTOBER

Largest Group of Musicians To Play On A Live-Action TV Series In Years

(Los Angeles, CA September 21, 2010) Composer Bear McCrearys soundtrack for the first season of Human Target will be released in two different configurations, a digital release from WaterTower Music on October 5th and a physical version from La-La Land Records, on October 19, 2010. McCreary earned his first Emmy Award® nomination for Outstanding Original Main Title Theme Music with Human Target.

WaterTower Music will be releasing a digital version, the equivalent of a two-disc set, featuring 160 minutes of music, on October 5th. Four of the 43 tracks on this set are from the season finale Christopher Chance, which featured an unprecedented 94 musicians. Many of the tracks on the set were spotlighted by McCreary on his blog (www.bearmccreary.com/blog) where he gave insight into his approach after each episode aired.

Also on October 19th, La-La Land Records will release a limited edition (2000 units) 3-CD physical version. The third disc contains bonus tracks including an alternate version of the Main Title, with exclusive demos and sketches that give an in-depth look at his creative process. For the first time ever, McCreary has allowed for the release of his works-in-progress, including an abandoned concept for the main title.

McCrearys sweeping theme music is influenced by a more traditional approach to action/adventure scoring. Each episode of the first season of Human Target featured as much as 30 minutes of music played by an average of 60 musicians, making it the largest group of musicians to play on a live-action TV series in years according to a recent article in Variety.

The real thrill of scoring Human Target comes from the unprecedented creative freedom I was given to create the kind of sweeping, thematic and adventurous score largely absent from both the small and large screen in recent years, said McCreary.

Part of what makes a great adventure score, in my mind anyway, is that it refuses to apologize, described Steinberg. Its going to be bold. Its going to be sentimental. Its going to be epic. For some people, it might not work. But if it strikes that tuning fork in you, itll be nothing short of inspiring.

I love Bear's music, said series star Mark Valley. And having watched one of the recording sessions with the orchestra, I was inspired by his swift and thorough process and moved by each of his compositions. And after watching the episodes, well, let's just say this actor is very fortunate to have the layered complexity and vigor of Bear's French horns playing in the background when his character walks into a room.

Bear McCreary was among a handful of select protégés of late film music legend Elmer Bernstein and is a classically trained composer with degrees in Composition and Recording Arts from the prestigious USC Thornton School of Music. At the age of 24, Bear McCreary was launched into pop culture with his score for Battlestar Galactica, "the most innovative music on TV today" (Variety). Io9.com declared Bear McCreary one of the Ten Best Science Fiction Composers of all time, the only composer under 50 on the list (he is now 30), and the only one recognized for his work in television.

Human Target was not only creatively challenging and rewarding, but a project that will forever impact the way I write music, McCreary reflects. Like my experiences on BSG, Ive emerged from this a better composer for having done it.

Vielleicht kommt mit der limitierten 3 CD-Box am Dienstag auch das kürzere Download-Release.

Mittlerweile ist der Download bei iTunes aufgetaucht und gleich mal für satte 24,99,- ().

Human Target - Score [us] - FMDB

na kann man immerhin mal reinhören

[Eisselmann]

Bekloppt. Bei iTunes soll man genausoviel zahlen wie für die 3CD Variante bei LaLaLand... Manchmal ist Apple seltsam!

Mit viel Glück habe ich gestern abend noch eine signierte CD abgegriffen...

[Handstand]

Manchmal kommen sie auch später noch zur Besinnung. Arnolds kompletter CASINO ROYALE war auf iTunes zunächst auch mit stolzen 17€ veranschlagt und wurde nach kaum 2-3 Wochen fünf oder sieben Euro billiger.

[Eisselmann]

Naja, auf jeden Fall bin ich gespannt wie Sau auf die CD.

Die BSG CDs von McCreary sind genial, Terminator ist meiner Meinung nach auch klasse und die Titelmelodie von HT gefällt mir auch gut.

Ausserdem finde ich gibt er sich immer recht viel Mühe mit seinen Releases!
