Hanan Townshend, a fast-rising film composer based in Austin, Texas, composed the original score.&nbsp;&ldquo;I am mindful that music composed to picture can overwhelm the visuals,&rdquo; said Townsend. &ldquo;We were never looking for the obvious, so we constantly experimented with different pieces of music and their placement throughout the cut.&rdquo;&nbsp; Townshend described, &quot;We spent some time experimenting with different musical ideas capturing this flurry-of-love, not just the type of love that can exist between two people, but also a deeper, spiritual love. The result was a piece called &lsquo;Awareness&rsquo;, which is a representation of just this.&rdquo; Available at Amazon.com, Amazon UK, Amazon France and Amazon Germany. ]]> Tue, 21 May 2013 00:00:00 GMT http://www.soundtrackcollector.com/viewarticle.php?articleid=2451 http://www.soundtrackcollector.com/viewarticle.php?articleid=2450 <![CDATA[ Perseverance Records has reissued the soundtrack to Chitty Chitty Bang Bang. This is a 2-CD reissue of the Kritzerland limited edition release. Best known for their many songs written for Walt Disney Pictures, the Sherman Brothers, Richard and Robert, took on the task of creating songs for the film&nbsp; - their first ever non-Disney venture. Producer Cubby Broccoli thought the Shermans would be the perfect duo to write the songs for the film. While they were still with his studio, Walt Disney gave the brothers his blessing to work on the project due to a clause in their contract that allowed them to do so. They were involved with the film for about a year but went to England for three months to write the music.&nbsp; For more info and ordering, visit Perseverance Records. ]]> Sun, 19 May 2013 00:00:00 GMT http://www.soundtrackcollector.com/viewarticle.php?articleid=2450 http://www.soundtrackcollector.com/viewarticle.php?articleid=2449 <![CDATA[ ]]> Thu, 09 May 2013 00:00:00 GMT http://www.soundtrackcollector.com/viewarticle.php?articleid=2449 http://www.soundtrackcollector.com/viewarticle.php?articleid=2448 <![CDATA[ Celebrating the 10th anniversary of the 2003 cult movie Beyond Re-Animator, Screamworks Records releases the world premiere recording of Spanish composer Xavier Capellas&rsquo; exciting orchestral score for the film. The score follows in the tradition (and quotes the original Re-Animator theme) of Richard Band, giving the low-budget horror comedy a full-grown symphonic backdrop for the absurd on-screen action. Adding a freshness to the old-fashioned orchestral writing, Capellas sometimes injects momentum and a modern influences through the means of drum loops, but the score is at heart an entertaining horror score that plays comedy straight and has a lot of orchestral suspense and action to offer.
