It tells the story of physicist Bruce Banner, a man on the run with a secret that could destroy us all, or be our only hope. When he loses control, his rage unleashes the monstrous creature known to the world as the Hulk. But in his effort to cure himself of his condition, he has unwittingly delivered the key to his transformation into the hands of an enemy that wants to use it against him. The&nbsp;score by Craig Armstrong&nbsp;also contains a treasured piece from the Hulk's history: &quot;The Lonely Man&quot; theme as interpreted by Armstrong. Originally used in the popular television show, this song harkens back to the conflict and isolation felt by the film's central hero, a theme echoed throughout the Hulk's 40-year history.

The movie is placed in a 15th-century feudal village, where a woman is accused of witchcraft and put to death. Her beautiful older daughter knows the real reason of the execution, as a result of the lies of the lord who had sexual desire for her mother. This gloomy atmosphere is well given by the orchestral music&nbsp;of Carlo Rustichelli, whose mono master tapes &ndash; well kept for more than four decades in the Historic Archives of C.A.M. The second release by Digitmovies is the complete score for Vivo Per La Tua Morte (aka &ldquo;A long ride from hell&rdquo;). The music score is written by the noted Carlo Savina, one of the most famous orchestra conductors for the cinema and also author of many soundtracks for cinema and TV. Vivo Per La Tua Morte is issued for the first absolute time in complete form derived from the mono master tapes kept in the RCA vaults. Due the short length of this CD, Digitmovies has added&nbsp;as supplementary material the complete&nbsp;score by Carlo Savina from the italian-spanish co-production Il Misterioso Signor Van Eyck (aka &ldquo;El misterioso se&ntilde;or Van Eyck&rdquo;). The exotic location is exalted by the music themes by Carlo Savina, whose score is based on a recurrent, epic and adventurous main theme for organ and orchestra that recalls a little of the western atmosphere.

After the very good L'etrusco uccide ancora, Armando Crispino in 1975 tries again with the Giallo genre directing Macchie solari (aka &ldquo;The victim&rdquo;, &ldquo;Autopsy&rdquo;). Placed in a summer Rome, sunny and semi-deserted, the Crispino movie starts with an impressive series of &ldquo;suicides&rdquo; caused, it seems, by the mysterious solar spots. Submersed in a Sci-Fi horror atmosphere, the movie very soon returns the pure Giallo plot where the &ldquo;suicides&rdquo; are really murders committed by a mad killer. The main protagonist of the story is Mimsy Farmer, who plays the role of a morgue doctor, frequently prey of nightmares. The score is written by the Academy Award winner Ennio Morricone and now Digitmovies presents it in its complete form and in full stereo on CD.

Clinton. Lakeshore Records has released the original score for Harold &amp; Kumar Escape From Guantanamo Bay on May 6th via iTunes and in stores on May 13th. The score&nbsp;album contains original music composed by George S. Clinton. &nbsp; George S. Clinton began his career in Nashville as a songwriter, arranger and session player. He became a staff writer for Warner Bros. Music, writing songs recorded by a wide range of artists including Michael Jackson, Joe Cocker, and Smokey Robinson as well as continuing his session work. He also recorded four albums as an artist. His George Clinton Band attracted the attention of a producer who hired him to score his first film, Cheech and Chong&rsquo;s Still Smoking. &nbsp; Clinton honed his skills scoring &quot;ninja&quot; movies for Cannon Films, and TV movies and miniseries. The soulful, erotic jazz for Zalman King's Showtime anthology Red Shoe Diaries developed quite a following. His musical inventiveness and versatility in have allowed him to contribute scores to such diverse films as Austin Powers: International Man of Mystery and its blockbuster sequels, and the hit martial arts fantasy Mortal Kombat and its sequel. His credits include John Waters' A Dirty Shame, 3000 Miles to Graceland, The Astronaut's Wife, Wild Things, Big Momma&rsquo;s House 2, The Cleaner, The Santa Clause 2: The Mrs. Clause and The Santa Clause 3. &nbsp; Harold &amp; Kumar Escape From Guantanamo Bay marks the triumphant return of these two hilarious, slacker anti-heroes. The movie stars John Cho (American Pie I &amp; II, American Dreamz) as Harold and Kal Penn (Van Wilder 2: The Rise of Taj, Epic Movie) as Kumar, two stoners who can&rsquo;t seem to get a break. Their last adventure found them traveling across country to find a White Castle hamburger in order to satisfy a weed-induced case of &ldquo;the munchies.&rdquo; &nbsp; This time, the boys get themselves in trouble trying to sneak a bong on board a flight to Amsterdam. Now, being suspected of terrorism, they are forced to run from the law and try to find a way to prove their innocence. What follows is an irreverent and epic journey of deep thoughts, deeper inhaling and a wild trip around the world that is as &ldquo;un-PC&rdquo; as it gets.&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; The score is available on iTunes and from Amazon.com. ]]> Fri, 04 Jul 2008 00:00:00 GMT http://www.soundtrackcollector.com/viewarticle.php?articleid=1558 http://www.soundtrackcollector.com/viewarticle.php?articleid=1555 <![CDATA[ Dutton Vocalion Records in the UK has released the scores for three British cult movies from the sixties.

The story of Abu Ghraib is still shrouded in moral ambiguity, but it is clear what happened there. The Abu Ghraib photographs serve as both an expose and a coverup. An expose, because the photographs offer us a glimpse of the horror of Abu Ghraib; and a coverup because they convinced journalists and readers they had seen everything, that there was no need to look further.

All of them were composed for the French cinema of the 1960's and the 70's, an extremely fruitful period in Georges Delerue's long career. The second release, Les Plus Beaux Th&egrave;mes Pour La Fl&ucirc;te Et Le Hautbois, is played by Patrick Healey, flutes and&nbsp;piccolo,&nbsp; H&eacute;l&egrave;ne D&eacute;ry, oboe and English horn and&nbsp;Ensemble En-le-vent et Compagnie. This compilation focuses on two favorite instruments of the composer, offering new versions of film music, like L'Autre Femme, Jules Et Jim, Guy De Maupassant and Agnes Of God,&nbsp;that can deservedly be called classic. The En-le-vent ensemble et compagnie gathers nine of Quebec&rsquo;s finest musicians, who were also responsible for the arrangements for the fifteen selections of the album.
