Von BSX/Dragon's Domain: BLACK CHRISTMAS: Music From The Original Score Shirley Walker BSXDG0188 Includes Digital Booklet BSX DIGITAL presents music composed by Shirley Walker (FINAL DESTINATION, SPACE: ABOVE AND BEYOND, WILLARD) from the original score to BLACK CHRISTMAS, the 2006 remake of the cult classic horror film from 1974, directed by Glen Morgan (THE X FILES, SPACE: ABOVE AND BEYOND, FINAL DESTINATION), written by Morgan and Roy Moore, starring Michelle Trachtenberg, Mary Elizabeth Winstead, Lacey Chabert, Katie Cassidy, Kristen Cloke, Yan-Kay Crystal Lowe, Oliver Hudson, Karin Konoval, Robert Mann and Andrea Martin as Ms. Mac. Released in 2006, BLACK CHRISTMAS is a loose remake of the 1974 cult horror film of the same name, which was directed by Bob Clark (A CHRISTMAS STORY, MURDER BY DECREE) and written by Roy Moore. Set days before Christmas, the film follows sorority sisters who are stalked and murdered during a winter storm. The score for the 2006 version of BLACK CHRISTMAS marks the final collaboration between composer Shirley Walker, director Glenn Morgan, and producer James Wong, who had previously worked with her on the short-lived TV series SPACE: ABOVE AND BEYOND. This project also represents Shirley Walker's last original composition for a feature film. Shirley Walker (April 10, 1945 – November 30, 2006) was an influential American film and television composer and conductor, recognized as a pioneer for women in Hollywood. She was one of the first female composers to gain solo score credit on a major film. Walker won two Emmy Awards, and the ASCAP Shirley Walker Award was established in her honor in 2014. Walker's film career began in 1979 with APOCALYPSE NOW, where she played synthesizers and later orchestrated scores for films like THE BLACK STALLION. She excelled as an orchestrator, conductor and composer, working with notable figures like Danny Elfman and Hans Zimmer. Walker scored various productions, including WILLARD and the first three FINAL DESTINATION films, and TV series like FALCON CREST and THE FLASH. While working with Danny Elfman, she mentored Hans Zimmer and orchestrated several of his film scores. Walker was a prominent composer for several animated series in the DC Animated Universe, including BATMAN: THE ANIMATED SERIES, SUPERMAN: THE ANIMATED SERIES, THE NEW BATMAN ADVENTURES and BATMAN BEYOND. She worked closely with Danny Elfman, served as the conductor for the film BATMAN, and composed much of the music for BATMAN: THE ANIMATED SERIES, creating a recognizable musical tone for the franchise. Her themes continued to be used in JUSTICE LEAGUE and JUSTICE LEAGUE UNLIMITED. BSX Digital presents the world premiere release of BLACK CHRISTMAS, featuring music composed by Shirley Walker. The music has been mastered by James Nelson at Digital Outland and includes liner notes by noted author Randall Larson. Dragon’s Domain Records presents THE LALO SCHIFRIN COLLECTION, featuring music composed by the legendary Lalo Schifrin (MISSION: IMPOSSIBLE, BULLITT, DIRTY HARRY, ENTER THE DRAGON) for four films from his extensive filmography. Released in 1976, VOYAGE OF THE DAMNED tells the tragic 1939 story of the SS St. Louis, carrying hundred of German Jewish refugees from Nazi Germany, a ship that seemingly no nation is willing to save from certain doom. Produced by Lord Lew Grade, directed by Stuart Rosenberg, written by Steve Shagan, David Butler and Gordon Thomas, featuring an all-star cast that included Faye Dunaway, Ben Gazzara, Lee Grant, Wendy Hiller, Malcolm McDowell, Katharine Ross, Max Von Sydow, and Orson Welles. Released in 1974, THE FOUR MUSKETEERS was a direct sequel to THE THREE MUSKETEERS, directed by Richard Lester, written by George McDonald Fraser, based on the writings of Alexandre Dumas, starring MIchael York, Oliver Reed, Richard Chamberlain, Frank Finlay, Raquel Welch, Faye Dunaway, Christopher Lee, Geraldine Chaplin, Jean-Pierre Cassel, Simon Ward, Roy Kinnear, Michael Gothard and Charlton Heston as Cardinal Richelieu. The composer for the first film, Michel Legrand, was not available to return for the sequel and the producers turned to composer Lalo Schifrin for the music and he embraced the opportunity. THE LALO SCHIFRIN COLLECTION also includes ‘Continuum’, which was composed in 1970. The music was commissioned by the American Harp Society and premiered that year at their convention in Houston, Texas, by Anne Stockton, who would later record it for Avant Records. It has also been performed elsewhere in the United States and France, in a concert broadcast from Radio France. Released in 1977, DAY OF THE ANIMALS, directed by William Girdler, written by William W. Norton, Eleanor E. Norton and Edward L. Montoro, starring Christopher George, Lynda Day George, Leslie Nielsen, Richard Jaeckel, Michael Ansara, Ruth Roman, Jon Cedar, Paul Mantee, Walter Barnes, Andrew Stevens and Susan Backlinie. DAY OF THE ANIMALS was another entry in the ‘animals attack’ genre, triggered by JAWS and following the success of GRIZZLY, which had also been directed by Girdler and produced by Montoro. DAY OF THE ANIMALS tells the story of mass wildlife attacks on humans caused by the effects of increased UV radiation due to the depletion of the ozone layer above 5,000 feet. DAY OF THE ANIMALS makes its world premiere soundtrack release on THE LALO SCHIFRIN COLLECTION. Released in 1976, THE EAGLE HAS LANDED was directed by John Sturges (THE MAGNIFICENT SEVEN, THE GREAT ESCAPE), written by Tom Mankiewicz and Jack Higgins, starring Michael Caine, Donald Sutherland, Robert Duvall, Donald Pleasence, Anthony Quayle, Jenny Agutter, Jean Marsh, Judy Geeson, Larry Hagman, Treat Williams and Michael Byrne. THE EAGLE HAS LANDED tells the story of a daring German plot to kidnap Prime Minister Winston Churchill at the height of World War II... In his approach to this adventure, the composer created a one-note motif, always the same, although in different intensity, repeated several times throughout several of the cues, sometimes individually or together, by a cymbalom, the drums, even the entire orchestra in a fortissimo statement. 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. Recent scores include TANGO, BRINGING DOWN THE HOUSE, THE BRIDGE OF SAN LUIS REY, AFTER THE SUNSET, the RUSH HOUR films and ABOMINABLE. DAY OF THE ANIMALS makes its world premiere soundtrack release on THE LALO SCHIFRIN COLLECTION, which also includes music from VOYAGE OF THE DAMNED, THE FOUR MUSKETEERS and THE EAGLE HAS LANDED released on compact disc previously by John Steven Lasher on his Label X, featuring music composed by Lalo Schifrin. The music has been newly mastered by James Nelson at Digital Outland and the liner notes written for the previous releases by Didier Delaunoy and John Steven Lasher have been reprised, along with new notes by author David Hirsch. THE LALO SCHIFRIN COLLECTION is a limited edition release and is expected to begin shipping the week of November 24th, 2025. CD 1 VOYAGE OF THE DAMNED 01. Main Title (2:23) 02.

Pakula, written by William Styron and Pakula, starring Meryl Streep, Kevin Kline and Peter MacNicol. Released in 1982, SOPHIE’S CHOICE follows Stingo (MacNicol),a young writer from the South who travels to post-World War II Brooklyn and is befriended by Sophie (Streep), a beautiful Polish immigrant and her lover, Nathan (Kline). As Stingo gets to know them better, he learns that Sophie is a Holocaust survivor and the film reveals her harrowing story, from pre-war prosperity to Auschwitz. As Sophie recounts her story, her relationship with Nathan begins to slowly unravel and Nathan’s fragile mental state becomes more apparent... As a composer, Marvin Hamlisch won virtually every major award that exists: three Oscars, four Grammys, four Emmys, a Tony, three Golden Globe Awards, and the Pulitzer Prize. For Broadway, Hamlisch wrote the music for his groundbreaking show A CHORUS LINE, as well as THEY’RE PLAYING OUR SONG,THE GOODBYE GIRL and SWEET SMELL OF SUCCESS. Additional theatrical scores include JEAN SEBERG and THE NUTTY PROFESSOR. He was the composer of more than 40 motion picture scores, including his Oscar-winning score and song for THE WAY WE WERE and his adaptation of Scott Joplin’s music for THE STING, for which he received a third Oscar. His prolific output of scores for films includes original compositions and/or musical adaptations for SOPHIE’S CHOICE, ORDINARY PEOPLE, THE SWIMMER,THREE MEN AND A BABY, ICE CASTLES, TAKE THE MONEY AND RUN, BANANAS, SAVE THE TIGER and THE INFORMANT!, starring Matt Damon and directed by Steven Soderbergh. Hamlisch held the position of principal pops conductor for the Pittsburgh Symphony Orchestra, Milwaukee Symphony Orchestra, Dallas Symphony Orchestra, Pasadena Symphony and Pops, Seattle Symphony, San Diego Symphony, The Buffalo Philharmonic and The National Symphony Orchestra in Washington, D.C. At the time of his death in 2012, he was preparing to assume responsibilities as principal pops conductor for The Philadelphia Orchestra. Hamlisch was a graduate of the Juilliard School of Music and Queens College, where he earned a Bachelor of Arts degree. Originally released in the early days of the compact disc format by Southern Cross Records, Dragon’s Domain Records is excited to bring SOPHIE'S CHOICE back to the marketplace, with the music remastered by James Nelson at Digital Outland, retaining liner notes that include a note from director Alan J. Pakula. SOPHIE’S CHOICE is a limited edition release. SOPHIE’S CHOICE is expected to begin shipping the week of November 24th, 2025. 01. Love Theme (1:58) 02. Train Ride To Brooklyn (2:48) 03.

End Credits (2:53) Total Time: 31:46 Dragon’s Domain Records presents the original motion picture soundtrack to THE RAZOR’S EDGE, featuring music composed by Jack Nitzsche for the 1984 period drama directed by John Byrum, written by W. Somerset Maugham, Byrum and Bill Murray, starring Bill Murray, Theresa Russell, Catherine Hicks, James Keach, Brian Doyle-Murray, Peter Vaughan, Stephen Davies and Denholm Elliott. Released in 1984, THE RAZOR’S EDGE was a remake of the 1946 classic directed by Edmund Goulding, starring Tyrone Power, Gene Tierney and John Payne. Both film versions were based on the 1944 novel by W. Somerset Maugham, which tells the story of Larry Darrell, an American soldier who is traumatized by his experiences in World War I and sets off in search of a transcendent meaning in his life. It is a journey that takes him from Chicago to France, inspiring him to visit India and on to Nepal, where Larry finds spiritual help from a lama. When he returns to Paris, Larry finds his old friends and discovers that everyone has changed in his absence. Considered a misfire in its day, the film features an early dramatic performance by Murray that anticipates the kind of work he would be respected for more in his later career. The music for THE RAZOR’S EDGE was composed by Jack Nitzsche. Born Bernard Nitzsche on April 22nd, 1937 in Chicago, Illinois, Nitzsche was an American musician, arranger, songwriter, composer and record producer who came to prominence in the early 1960s as the right-hand-man of producer Phil Spector, and went on to work with the Rolling Stones, Neil Young, and others. Nitzsche began to concentrate more on film music rather than pop music in the mid-1970s, becoming one of the more prolific film orchestrators in Hollywood during the period. Nitzsche worked on film scores throughout his career, such as his contributions to the Monkees movie HEAD, the theme music from VILLAGE OF THE GIANTS and the soundtracks for PERFORMANCE, THE EXORCIST, ONE FLEW OVER THE CUCKOO'S NEST, HARDCORE, STARMAN and REVENGE. Nitzsche’s score for THE RAZOR’S EDGE features the Glass Harmonica, one of the most unusual instruments to find its way into a motion picture soundtrack, an instrument which Nitzsche alone utilized in several of his most famous scores. Modern composers who have written for the Glass Harmonica include Richard Strauss and the American George Crumb (b. 1926). Previously released by Southern Cross in the early days of the compact disc format, Dragon’s Domain Records is excited to bring THE RAZOR'S EDGE back to the marketplace, with music composed by Jack Nitzsche, performed by the London Symphony Orchestra, conducted by Stanley Black. The music has been remastered by James Nelson at Digital Outland, retaining the liner notes by John Steven Lasher. THE RAZOR’S EDGE is a limited edition release.

Jacobson, starring John Call, Leonard Hicks, Vincent Beck, Bill McCutcheon, Victor Stiles, Donna Conforti, Chris Month, Leila Martin, Charles Renn, James Cahill, Ned Wertimer, Doris Rich and Pia Zadora. Released in 1964, SANTA CLAUS CONQUERS THE MARTIANS begins with the season of Christmas fast approaching and children are anxiously awaiting that night when Santa Claus will bring presents to all the good little girls and boys. Unfortunately, that’s not the case on the planet Mars, where a crisis has erupted among their children, educated from birth by machines and treated as adults. Captivated by television signals from Earth, these young Martians have become listless insomniacs. Concerned for the welfare of not only his children, but all of those on Mars, the supreme leader Lord Kimar (Hicks) seeks council from their ancient sage, Chochem (Don). The elderly Martian laments that their youngsters are made to suffer the burden of early adulthood. They crave the freedom to have fun and simply be kids. Chochem proclaims that what Mars desperately needs is a Santa Claus of its own, so Lord Kimar and his compatriots blast off for Earth with the intent to abduct Santa himself (Call) ... The bouncy score and its ear worm title theme came from the musical pen of Milton DeLugg. Simultaneously while working on this film, he was also engaged by the NBC television network as musical director for their annual telecast of the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade. Delugg would hold that position for the next half-century, finally stepping down in 2013. He also spent a year and a half as leader of Johnny Carson’s THE TONIGHT SHOW orchestra. This ninth volume in Dragon’s Domain Records series has been mastered by James Nelson at Digital Outland, featuring exclusive liner notes by Starlog Magazine’s David Hirsch and Sam Scali. THE GOLDEN AGE OF SCIENCE FICTION VOL. 9 is a limited edition release and is expected to begin shipping the week of November 24th, 2025.

Auch ein großer Name zieht nur bedingt. Wenn es kein populärer Score ist, kann auch bei einem Goldsmith der Verkauf schleppend sein. Gab es bei Williams oder Elfman auch schon. ROSEWOOD von Williams hat LLL beispielsweise auch später in einem Sale unter die Leute bringen müssen. Sogar SCROOGED von Elfman, und das war immerhin eine Premierenveröffentlichung, ging durch verschiedene Sales, weil sie die CDs nicht los wurden. MEDICINE MAN würde ich zwar zu den populäreren Goldsmiths aus seiner 90er-Phase zählen, aber gab es da wirklich so eine große Nachfrage nach einer erweiterten Veröffentlichung? Ich glaube, die meisten hätten lieber THE 13TH WARRIOR als Deluxe gesehen. Mal sehen, ob nicht irgendwann auch noch MR BASEBALL als Deluxe kommt. Wenn es selbst NOT WITHOUT MY DAUGHTER erweitert geschafft hat. Und das war auch ein Titel, der eher schleppend lief, wenn ich mich richtig erinnere.

Ja vor allem wenn selbst beim wichtigsten Filmkomponisten aller Zeiten solche Mittel beim CD Verkauf Anwendung finden .. 🤔

Es ist natürlich ein adäquates Mittel für ein Nischenprodukt wie Filmmusik. Besonders, wenn sie nicht von einem Major Label kommt. So kann man besser planen und bleibt nicht auf zu vielen CDs sitzen. Wenn es so ist. Das ist von uns ja nur Spekulation. Vielleicht wollten sie die Titel auch einfach nur dieses Jahr noch ankündigen, auch wenn sie wussten, dass die CDs nicht vor Ende Dezember/Anfang Januar gepresst werden können. Die Presswerke sind doch dem Vernehmen nach immer gut ausgelastet und vielleicht ging es nicht eher. Somit kann man zumindest das Weihnachtsgeschäft noch durch Vorbestellungen mitnehmen. Wir werden ja sehen, wie schnell das Album dann ausverkauft ist. Intrada hat die Limitierungszahlen ja schon vor Jahren abgeschafft. Auch, um den Kaufdruck etwas rauszunehmen. Aber die kündigen normalerweise auch nur Sachen an, die dann die Woche drauf verschickt werden, also wenn die CDs schon auf Lager sind.

Dann wohl nicht mehr als 500 Stück 😁. Im Ernst: wenn das jetzt mit Hordenfinanzierung losgeht, dann wird das noch lustig, weil u.a. die Plattenfirmen dann wohl fast nur noch auf Nummer sicher gehen, um die gewünschte Finanzierung zu erreichen. Eventuell kann es aber doch andersherum auch funktionieren und die Firmen würden sich an Projekte wagen, die sie ohne Finanzierung nie versuchen würden, in die Wege zu leiten.

Seit gestern auf Spotify, wie lustig:

Was ebenfalls dafür spricht: Es wird keine Auflagenhöhe mehr angegeben. Keine Ahnung, wie lange Varese das schon nicht mehr macht. Die letzten Deluxe Editions, die ich gekauft habe, Carpenters VILLAGE OF THE DAMNED und Goldsmiths THE OTHER, hatten noch eine angegebene Auflagenhöhe. Hier steht jetzt nur noch "Limited Collector's Edition". Dann wird wohl nach Vorbestellungen gepresst, plus wohl noch einige Exemplare auf Halde und das war es dann.

Diese Frage stellt sich doch bei fast jeder Expandierung...

Vermutlich Letzteres: Eine Art Crowdfunding. Nicht „wieviele“, sondern „dass“ bezahlte Vorbestellungen eintreffen, wird des Rätsels Lösung sein. Danach gehen die CDs dann in Produktion. Machen diverse Verlage im Comic-Bereich auch, wenn das Geld knapp ist. Je länger die Vorlaufzeit, desto mehr Geld kann man einsammeln.

Tatsächlich freue ich mich auf diese Veröffentlichung. Damals war Brian Tyler noch wirklich gut.

Ja das stimmt 🤔

Ob man sich wegen lediglich 13(!) Minuten denselben Score nochmal neu kaufen muss, stelle ich ernsthaft in Frage. Ja klar, es handelt sich um Jerry, die Nummer 1. Aber dennoch: Es wird seine Gründe haben, weshalb Jerry diese paar Minuten damals nicht aufs Album gepackt hat (sicherlich sind es nur Wiederholungen der bereits bekannten Passagen). Cashcow……

Völlig Banane 😂 Vielleicht wollen die vorab sehen wieviele Vorbestellungen reinkommen und produzieren dann just in time.

Das gabs bisher wohl auch noch nicht, dass die Veröffentlichung 2 Monate vor dem Versand angekündgt wird.

Wäre das nicht eine gute Möglichkeit gewesen, beide Scores als Doppel CD Deluxe zu veröffentlichen? Beim Goldsmith fehlt ja auch noch einiges auf der bisherigen Scheibe

Schöner Score (ich sach nur: The Trees) Aber: Warum wird sowas jetzt schon angekündigt, wenn es erst im nächsten Jahr tatsächlich kommt?

Absolut langweilige eintönige Musik ohne Tiefgang - typisch Brian Tyler. Wie kann man nur so eine prächtige große Leinwand bekommen und so versemmeln.

Einer meiner Lieblingsscores von Jerry Goldsmith. Bestimmt schon 50 mal gehört und wird nie langweilig. 👍

Wird bei mir auch so sein. Da ich die alte LP noch habe, hole ich mir nur die CD.

This is a PRE-ORDER. Expected to ship the week of January 16, 2026. Medicine Man (1992) was a rainforest adventure, eco-thriller and, in a way, romantic comedy from director John McTiernan. Sean Connery starred as a researcher doggedly pursuing a cure for cancer in the Amazonian rainforest, with Lorraine Bracco the drug company biochemist sent to check on his progress. Their friction grows into a romance as they interact with a native tribe and face off against destructive loggers. Medicine Man found its perfect composer in Jerry Goldsmith, a Hollywood master at adventure and thriller music who was, at heart, enamored with “people pictures.” Medicine Man called on both approaches, and Goldsmith rose to the occasion with a grand, tuneful, dramatic score encompassing large orchestra, sophisticated electronics and tropical instrumentation. It runs the gamut from catchy travelogues, a soaringly romantic love theme, and dark, tragic action music as the rainforest comes under threat. Director McTiernan, working with Goldsmith for the first time, recalls (in a new interview for this release) asking the composer to “try to make it as indigenous sounding as possible.” Editor Michael Miller marveled at Goldsmith’s ability to unify the film’s tone: “Jerry enhanced every emotional beat,” he says, “and glued a lot of stuff together amazingly well. The thing that really excited me were the turns from light and romantic and comedic, to dark and dire—because they were perfect.” Medicine Man was released as a 14-track, 50-minute CD by Varèse Sarabande in 1992. This Deluxe Edition adds 13 minutes of previously unreleased cues plus an alternate mix of the opening “Rae’s Arrival.” The new liner notes are by Tim Greiving, who can neither confirm nor deny that Sean Connery’s ponytail in the film was inspired by Goldsmith’s hair.

This is a PRE-ORDER. Expected to ship the week of January 16, 2026. Varèse Sarabande presents the Deluxe Edition of Brian Tyler’s score to Timeline (2003). Directed by Richard Donner (The Omen, Superman: The Movie, Lethal Weapon), the film was the last in a hugely successful run of high-concept, big-budget productions based on books by Michael Crichton (Jurassic Park, Congo, Sphere). Timeline follows a group of present-day archaeologists and students who travel to the 14th century in search of their team leader, who previously visited via a corporation’s “wormhole” time machine. When the group becomes trapped in the past, they must survive a brutal conflict between England and France to find a way home. Most of the cast were little known at the time, but Paul Walker, Gerard Butler, David Thewlis and Michael Sheen went on to considerable fame. Timeline was originally scored by Jerry Goldsmith, but ongoing reedits to the project, and the composer’s failing health, forced him to bow out. Brian Tyler was recruited to write the score for the final release version, which he considered “a tribute to one of my favorite composers and a director I had long admired.” Tyler’s score is action-packed and pulses with suspenseful rhythms and large symphonic flourishes—capturing the romantic sweep of the characters’ adventure, with a tense and modern sheen. The tender and gentle theme for Paul Walker and Anna Friel’s characters’ love story (“Lady Claire”) offers moments of hope and tranquility amidst the drama and suspense. Varèse Sarabande’s 2003 release of Timeline presented 26 tracks and 46 minutes. This Deluxe Edition features 37 tracks and over 79 minutes, chronicled by new liner notes by Jeff Bond.

Schade, da hatte Stefan Recht: es wird nur der Albumschnitt. Mit Di Laurentiis oder dessen Erben ist wohl nicht zu verhandeln. Wieviel Musik fehlt denn da überhaupt noch? Bis auf das "Mañana"-Thema, welches öfter im Film zu hören war, will mir nichts mehr einfallen.

Bin jetzt einmal durch. Absolut großartig. Hier und da mit einer ganz kleinen Prise Pathos zu viel, aber insgesamt meisterhaft. Den nominiere ich für den Score des Jahres.
