John Barry's Out Of Africa
2-Dec-2024 - Intrada announces an expanded edition of what is regarded as one of John Barry's finest: the Oscar-winning music to the 1985 Universal Pictures film Out Of Africa. The lengthy film is sparsely scored, especially considering the expansive nature of the film and beautiful scenery. The 37-minute score is just all the more powerful when it does appear, including the spectacular "Flight Over Africa" sequence. Included in this release are themes and ideas not present on the original MCA album, premiering some true Barry gems. After the regular scoring sessions were completed, Barry had one last pickup session to record two additional alternate cues. Barry also supervised the traditional African piece and the other source cues. For more info and ordering, visit Intrada Records.

21-Nov-2024 - Quartet Records, in collaboration with El Deseo, celebrates the 40th anniversary of Pedro Almodóvar’s iconic classic film ¿Qué He Hecho Yo Para Merecer Esto?

Bonezzi’s score is surprisingly mature and sensitive, with a neorealist-inspired waltz as the main theme, dramatic music for string orchestra, echoes of jazz and blues, and the piece “La soledad de Gloria,” which has remained one of the most representative themes of all Almodóvar’s filmography. The score is available on CD and LP. For more info and ordering, visit Quartet Records.

Jerry Goldsmiths' Islands In The Stream
18-Nov-2024 - Intrada Records presents a newly mastered and edited edition of the original soundtrack to the 1977 Paramount Pictures film Islands In The Stream. The score was of such personal importance to Jerry Goldsmith that he approached Intrada in 1986, just a year after it had been formed and a few months after the release of his latest score, Poltergeist II, to seek the label's interest in creating a new recording of the score in Hungary. Intrada jumped at the chance.The score is beautiful, deeply emotional and introspective, and at times simply thrilling. The brilliant recording has been in the catalog continuously since it was released in the late '80s. For more info and ordering, visit Intrada Records.
Basil Poledouris' Robocop 3
15-Nov-2024 - Varèse Sarabande presents Basil Poledouris’ RoboCop 3: The Deluxe Edition, available on vinyl for the first time as a 2-LP gatefold vinyl set. Director Paul Verhoeven’s original RoboCop film featured one of Basil Poledouris’ most iconic scores. In 1993, he was recruited to bring his signature sound back for RoboCop 3, which finds Detroit's cyborg crime-fighter hitting the streets to protect the innocent, this time from corporate greed. Laced with a sardonic sense of humor and packed with action scenes coming at a deliberate clip, RoboCop 3 is a campy sci-fi adventure, highlighted by Poledouris’ one-of-a-kind sonic touch.

Carter Burwell's Fear
16-Oct-2024 - Intrada announces the premiere release of a long-sought after Carter Burwell score: the 1996 Universal Pictures thriller Fear. The film is a psychological thriller centered on the intense and tumultuous relationship between a teenage girl, Nicole, and a charismatic but dangerous young man, David.The film opens with a sweeping flyover of Seattle and here Burwell introduces his main theme underscored by pounding taiko drums. The score is moody and unsettling, slowly insinuating itself into the drama behind the scenes much as David integrates himself (or tries to) into the family. Burwell credits a lot of the power of his Fear score to the orchestration and conducting of Shirley Walker. “It’s got a particular sound I think she takes a lot of responsibility for, like the way that the brass plays at the bottom end and the lushness of the strings,” he points out. For more info and ordering, visit Intrada Records.

The music was recorded by the Berlin Symphony Orchestra conducted by Strange himself. On this 80-minute CD, with the music from the 8″ multitrack preserved in mint condition in the MGM vaults, the ambitious and lavish score can be heard in all its glory.

This Deluxe Edition expands the program to 28 tracks and 64 minutes. For more info and ordering, visit Varèse Sarabande.

Jerry Goldsmith's The Other
20-Sep-2024 - One of Jerry Goldsmith’s most unusual horror projects comes to CD in complete form courtesy Varèse Sarabande’s Deluxe Edition. The Other (1972) used bucolic 1935 Connecticut to tell a truly disturbing story of twin boys with dangerous supernatural powers. Jerry Goldsmith tackled The Other amongst a string of oddball film and television projects during the changing tastes of the early ’70s. At the peak of his creative powers, he managed to combine the polar opposites of The Other’s tones into a perfect unity: beautiful music for the film’s nostalgic setting and childhood intimacy (with a gorgeous main theme), and dark strains for the unspeakable horrors of the story’s revelations.

Ennio Morricone's La Corta Notte Delle Bambole Di Vetro
29-Aug-2024 - Quartet Records, in collaboration with GDM, Universal Music Publishing Italy and EMI General Music Publishing, presents a revised, remastered reissue of the famous giallo score composed by Ennio Morricone in 1971 for La Corta Notte Delle Bambole Di Vetro. Morricone’s thriller scores remain some of his most distinctive and original works. As demonstrated in his scores for Dario Argento’s efforts in the genre, Morricone’s uncanny ability to combine lyricism, unbridled avant-garde experimentation and stylish elegance was his most significant contribution to the category. La Corta Notte Delle Bambole Di Vetro shows Morricone once again embracing the sophisticated avant-garde sound while beginning his score with a haunting tune performed by Edda Dell’Orso heard over the film’s main titles. The waltz theme has a timeless quality, providing a disturbing and disarming melody for the film. For more info and ordering, visit Quartet Records.

Disc 1 concludes with source music heard in the film and a few alternates (including the unassembled chase music from the end of the film for those that want it Mikado free) and film versions, including the film version of "Ready to Take a Chance Again."
