  1. Am 10.2.2022 um 14:38 schrieb Trekfan:

    Wenn man mal bei Amazon in Japan schaut, gibt es den eigentlichen Score auch gelistet als ausverkaufte "Limited Edition". Und auch da findet sich ein Leserkommentar mit "CD-R". Kann natürlich wieder so eine typische Verwechslung bei den Bewertungen sein, aber ich habe noch keinen Beweis für eine gepresste CD gesehen.

    Bei ArkSquare hatte ich den Hinweis auf die gepresste CD gesehen, meine ich. Vielleicht ist es ein ähnlicher Fall wie bei dem Doppelalbum zu Matrix Resurrections von Rambling Records, bei der nur die erste Auflage gepresst ist und der Titel danach auch nur noch als CD-R zu bekommen ist. Warners Veröffentlichungspolitik  ist wirklich nur noch ein einziges Desaster. :D

  2. Im März kommt von Naxos ein Album mit den vollständigen Einspielungen der Scores zu den Dokumentarfilmen Redes (1936) und The City (1939), komponiert von Silvestre Revueltas bzw. Aaron Copland.

    Zitat

    Revueltas and Copland wrote prolifically for film, and these scores are their greatest achievements in the medium. The scores were crafted for two of the most formidable and politically motivated films of the time. Redes is a story of victimised fishermen in Mexico – and the subject matter drew from Revueltas passionate music that Copland himself admiringly described as ‘vibrant and colourful’. The City is a documentary that reveals the musical missing link between Copland’s ‘urban’ and ‘country’ idioms, prescient of minimalism, and masterly in construction and effect. Without narration or dialogue, both scores are heard here for the first time in full.

     

  3. Und schon wieder eine neuer Batch von Keepmoving Records, diesmal mit Dmitry Rybnikovs The Magic Tower - Wizard of Balance (2015), Chad Cannons Qinghai: Our National Park (2021), Anne-Kathrin Derns The Claus Family 2 (2021) und Ivan Uryupins Comet Halley (2020).

    KeepMoving Records presents limited edition CD release of the animated movie The Magic Tower. Wizard of Balance by Dmitry Rybnikov.

    Inspired by the real life historical building of the Sukharev Tower, The Magic Tower tells the story of a young magician’s apprentice who must wander into the Magical Worlds. There he must get magical ink from snake venom, dragon skin parchment, and a steel pen from the Great Griffin in order to restore his master’s magical power before his nemesis could strike.

    The richly layered score offers highly engaging thematic material for the three magical objects as well as a memorably menacing theme for The Violet Wizard, a powerful enemy who has a personal score to settle at the Magic Tower. The extended composition process starting with the storyboards allowed the composer to create the best possible version of each cue with such a luxurious schedule. The score is a true fantasy tour de force, waiting to be discovered.

    The liner notes by Gergely Hubai discuss the film and the score with comments from the composer as well.

    KeepMoving Records presents limited edition CD release of Qinghai: Our National Park by Chad Cannon.

    Qinghai: Our National Park is a gorgeous and heartfelt documentary series shot during 2020 establishing the country’s latest national park. Located high on the Tibetan plateau, Qinghai is one of the world’s greatest natural sanctuaries as the region contains the headwaters of China’s three great rivers: the Yangtze, Huang He and Mekong.

    The thematically rich score is recorded with two different ensembles: the large strings and brass in Prague, the sound of which typifies the grandeur of the landscape, and a small chamber group in Los Angeles, which gives color and a sense of closeness to the characters in the film, be they insects, humans, animals, birds, or flowers. To complement the physical release, a digital release is available from MovieScore Media.

    The liner notes feature extensive commentary from the composer.

    KeepMoving Records presents limited edition CD release of The Claus Family 2 by Anne-Kathrin Dern.

    The first movie introduced audiences to Jules (Mo Bakker) and her grandfather Noël (Jan Decleir) who turns out to be the real Santa Claus – the two had to team up to save Christmas despite the girl’s aversion to the holiday. In the sequel, Jules has already reembraced her love of Christmas, but a letter she receives poses an intriguing question that once again leads to conflicts with her grandfather.

    The score very much tries to capture that struggle of a family trying to recapture the magic of Christmas and alternates between isolating melancholy, exhilarating adventure, hopeful warmth, and Christmas joy. While old themes are returning from the previous score, the new theme written for the tenor recorder and performed by the composer herself underscores the melancholy of the new character, Marie. To complement the physical release, a digital release is available from MovieScore Media.

    The liner notes by Gergely Hubai discuss the film and the score with comments from the composer as well.

    KeepMoving Records presents limited edition CD release of Comet Halley by Ivan Uryupin.

    On New Year’s Eve, the four women of the Artemyev family are shacked up together, representing three generations of females: the old, cultured and slightly eccentric Yanga Lvovna shares her home with her daughter Yulia and her two granddaughters, Taisiya and Dusia. One snowy evening, a strange and awkward character named Halley appears in their apartment. The astrophysicist enters the isolated household and changes the lives of the four women…

    The score by Ivan Uryupin is built upon the traditions of the comedies of the USSR and France of the 1980s and American music of the 1950s. The elegant and catchy themes underscore each of the four women, a calm saxophone theme of the jazz genre runs through the film as the leitmotif of the New Year’s mood whereas the finale balances out the comedic elements with a hint of lyrical dramedy.

    The liner notes by Gergely Hubai discuss the film and the score with comments from the composer as well.

     

  4. Von Decca kommt eine um sieben Tracks verlängerte Fassung von Armando Trovajolis Musik zu Dino Risis Profumo di donna (1974).

    profumo-di-donna.jpg

    Zitat

    Introducing the second release from our Heritage Series, “Profumo di Donna” (aka “Scent of a Woman”) is one of Armando Trovajoli’s powerhouses, score to the timeless film by Dino Risi first showcased at the 1975 Cannes FIlm Festival, where leading character Vittorio Gassman was crowned with the Best Actor Award for his colossal and intense performance.

    The soundtrack composed by Trovajoli is a masterpiece of dramatic music writing, capable of combining his great passion for jazz with the necessity for a distinctive melancholic and touching theme splendidly arranged for a big orchestra. However, the score also offers the Maestro’s forays into disco, with tracks rich in strings and groove that could well belong to a Barry White’s album.

    The icing on the cake, though, is the hit song “Che Vuole Questa Musica Stasera”, an exquisitely charming, moving, and decadent ballad interpreted by Peppino Gagliardi and also included by Guy Ritchie in his film “The Man From U.N.C.L.E.” (2015), in “Lo Spietato” (aka “The Ruthless”) (2019) by Renato de Maria, and in “Welcome Home” (2018) by George Ratliff.

    The album, fully remastered from the original master tapes from the CAM Sugar archive, will be available on 180gr LP featuring one track previously unreleased on vinyl and on CD boasting 7 extra unreleased cuts.

The album also features the the tracks “Born To Have It All” and “I Never Thought Someone Like You Could Love Someone Like Me” by Katie Irving.

    Newly remastered and expanded edition.
    12-page CD booklet with liner notes by Gergely Hubai. 
    15th Anniversary Limited Edition of 500 units.

    In collaboration with Gaumont, Music Box Records proudly presents the remastered and expanded edition of Christopher Gunning's score to the 2007 biographical musical film La Vie en Rose (La Môme). The multi-awarded film, directed by Olivier Dahan (Tom Thumb, Grace of Monaco), retraces the life of famous French singer Édith Piaf, played by Marion Cotillard, who won the Best Actress Oscar for her performance.

    Celebrating the film's 15th anniversary, Music Box Records presents Gunning's score with 40 minutes of previously unreleased material. The previous album only had about 20 minutes of his scores while the rest of the runtime was taken up by Piaf songs and contemporary tunes. The original idea back in 2007 was to have a 2-CD set with one disc for the score and another one for the songs - but the project was whittled down to a single disc. Thanks to the score's musical director Édouard Dubois, we're now able to present the album that was never issued - it only took some 15 years!

    As Édouard Dubois puts it: "The present score presentation of Christopher Gunning's complete compositions for La Vie en Rose is sequenced in a different order than their chronology on Olivier Dahan's film. Not unlike the movie's disruptive timeline, this program has been conceived as an impressionistic musical journey in Édith Piaf's memories, filled with strong emotional contrasts. We hope you will enjoy all these 'souvenirs de voyage'."

    The richly illustrated booklet features liner notes by Gergely Hubai, giving a full rundown on the score's incredible challenges as well as its musical surprises, based on original comments by Christopher Gunning and Édouard Dubois. The release is limited to 500 units.

    This fifth volume puts the spotlight on romanticism and eroticism. The first disc is dedicated to Raymond Alessandrini with three of his scores and features a delightful assortment of symphonic and jazzy compositions bolstered by catchy melodies and rich orchestration. The second disc focuses on a couple of electropop scores from legendary sexploitation films of the '80s, both composed by François Valéry, a French singer-songwriter who distinguished himself on the one hand in pop songs but also in film music. The third disc also highlights the romantic spirit of this box set with traditional folk music and typical pop sonorities of the 1970s.

    This remastered 3-CD box set includes a 16-page booklet with liner notes by Nicolas Magenham, discussing the films and the scores. The release is limited to 350 units.

  9. Am 28. Januar veröffentlichen GAD Records ein Album mit Wojciech Kilars Scores für die von Aleksander Scibor-Rylski inszenierten Filme Wilcze echa (1968) und Pozne popoludnie (1965):

    GAD-CD-194-Kilar-%E2%80%93-Wilcze-echa-1

    Zitat

    Wild prairies, a sensational plot and a star-studded cast: a film which enjoyed great success in the 1960s on the Polish screens, and internationally, for instance in Italy. “Wilcze echa” features also an extremely interesting soundtrack by Wojciech Kilar – a proof that in the 1960s the composer was able to do good in every genre. Even in westerns.

    In the 1960s, there seemed to be no end to Kilar’s imagination. In the similar vein, the cinematic energy of Aleksander Ścibor-Rylski was like an endless string of ideas sourced in variegated traditions. “Wilcze echa”, hailed as a Polish western, became for the director and the composer an excellent opportunity to play with forms. Ścibor-Rylski ventured to check whether it was possible to make a western on locations in the Bieszczady mountains, and Kilar tried to find a golden mean between orchestra music and the instrumentation typical of this genre. The outcome is one of the most interesting soundtracks among Kilar’s works – one of the most complete and riveting from the first to the last second. Motifs full of tension intersect here with wide soundscapes which depict vast mountain pastures, and the murmured leitmotif could be equaled with Komeda’s “Nim wstanie dzień” or Walaciński’s “Ballada o Pancernych”. All of them carry the same emotional load.

    The music from “Późne popołudnie” will show you an entirely different Kilar – very much entertaining, light, making a bow to the American school of film music. This is yet another proof of the composer’s versatility and his extraordinary sense of melody. Recordings from both films have been released on the album for the first time, remastered from original tapes stored at the archives of the CeTA Audiovisual Technology Center in Wrocław. The booklet published with the disc features an essay on the films and soundtracks and stills from the set. The album is the next addition to the joint publishing series of CeTA and GAD Records which presents the most interesting film music recordings from the archives of the former Feature Film Studio in Wrocław.

     

  10. Neben den beiden Jóhannsson-Scores veröffentlicht Soundtrack Magazine Anfang Januar auch Nicolas Érreras Musik für Hidden Man auf CD.

    Zitat

    *NOTICE: This is a pre-order item, and it will be shipped in early 2022.

    Soundtrack Magazine proudly presents a limited edition, world-premiere CD release of acclaimed French composer by the French composer Nicolas Errèra and the director JIANG Wen’s original motion picture soundtrack for China’s official entry to the 91st Academy Awards HIDDEN MAN.

    Adapted from Zhang Beihai’s novel Xia Yin (“The Reclusive Hero”), the film shares Jiang Wen’s signature style of absurdism and dark humor. It seriocomically tells a romantic revenge story that took place on the brink of the Second Sino-Japanese War. It’s also the final installment of Jiang’s action trilogy after 2010’s “Let the Bullets Fly” and 2014’s “Gone with the Bullets”. For the score, he invited Nicolas Errèra who had been active in Chinese-language films for almost a decade. Errèra's music for the film not only utilizes his skillful melody-writing, but also cleverly quotes and adapts from classical music materials which retains Jiang’s usual music choice for his film. At the same time, Errèra also introduced music elements from typical western films to collide with this Chinese action film, resulting in many unexpected surprises.

    The album is supervised under composer Nicolas Errèra with music editing and sequencing. Director Jiang Wen provided his handwriting in calligraphy for the alternative cover art as well as director’s note. The liner notes which include analysis of the score was written by Xinkai Sun after his interview with Errèra.

    This is a limited edition of 500 units, with gold stamping numbering.

Based on real incidents that happened in Guangzhou and set against the backdrop of 30-year economic expansion, the film is a tragic epic of contemporary China. This is the third collaboration between director Lou and composer Jóhannsson, after the success of MYSTERY (2012) and BLIND MASSAGE (2014). The theme of the score is developed and reconstructed from “Walk in the Dark”, an unused cue from BLIND MASSAGE. The entire score is an industrial chapter that blurs the boundary between music and sound.

    This release is based on the initial 2019 LP program and re-edited and sequenced with the help and the supervision from composer Jonas Colstrup. The album is mixed and mastered by score engineer Thomas Eberger in Sweden, with in-depth liner notes by Xinkai Sun based on his interview with the composer, and a new cover art designed by Jóhannsson’s longtime collaborating designer/musician Anders Ladegaard from Denmark.

    This is a limited edition of 600 units, with gold stamping numbering.

  14. Am 14. Januar veröffentlichten Omnivore Recordings eine um zwei Tracks verlängerte Fassung des von Indie-Musiker Jeff Tweedy komponierten Scores zu Ethan Hawkes Regiedebüt Chelsea Walls.

    Chelsea-Walls-OV-450-600x600.jpg

    Zitat

    Soundtrack from Academy Award-Nominated actor Ethan Hawke’s 2001 film.

    The same year of his Oscar®-nominated performance in Training Day, Ethan Hawke made his full-length film directorial debut with Chelsea Walls (starring Kris Kristofferson, Uma Thurman, Vincent D’Onofrio, Robert Sean Leonard, and more). A fan of Wilco, Hawke approached Jeff Tweedy about scoring the film, and Tweedy agreed.

    Around this time, Tweedy had collaborated with musician and producer Jim O’Rourke (Sonic Youth, Stereolab) for a special live performance. As fate would have it, O’Rourke had been working Glenn Kotche, and O’Rourke introducing Tweedy to Kotche would lay the groundwork for the trio’s work together on the debut album by their band, Loose Fur. Tweedy also asked Kotche to work with him on an improvised soundtrack to the movie he had agreed to score. The relationships moved past Loose Fur and the Chelsea Walls soundtrack. Wilco was in the process of a creative sea change, the result of which would be the modern-day masterpiece, Yankee Hotel Foxtrot. Kotche joined Wilco and O’Rourke mixed Yankee Hotel Foxtrot.

    The soundtrack to Chelsea Walls featured improvised instrumentals by Tweedy and Kotche, as well as vocal performances from the film’s Robert Sean Leonard (whom Hawke met when they both worked on the film Dead Poet’s Society), Steve Zahn (Reality Bites, That Thing You Do!), jazz legend “Little” Jimmy Scott, plus contributions from Billy Bragg, and Wilco themselves.

    Two decades later, this influential soundtrack returns, not only with two previously unissued bonus tracks, but for the first time as a double-vinyl LP, including an online exclusive colored vinyl variant. (www.omnivorerecordings.com). The bonus tracks include Leonard’s performance of Wilco’s “Promising” previously only available in the film, and an extended version of Tweedy & Kotche’s “Finale.” The packaging contains new photos, new and original liners from Hawke, a remembrance from Kotche, and an interview between Tweedy and Grammy®-winning set producer Cheryl Pawelski.

    Chelsea Walls is a pivotal piece in the creative development of Tweedy and Wilco as they emerged into one of the most important bands of our time. Critically, it revisits the creative burst that would lead to one of the first true masterpieces of the 21st Century in Yankee Hotel Foxtrot.

    200 MOTELS 50TH ANNIVERSARY EDITION AVAILABLE DECEMBER 17 VIA ZAPPA RECORDS/UMe

    Los Angeles – November 19, 2021 – Ahead of the December 17th release of Frank Zappa’s 200 Motels 50th Anniversary Edition, the Zappa Trust and UMe are giving another glimpse into some of the extraordinary unreleased and rare material unearthed from FZ’s vault that will be available on the monstrous new six-disc box set that boasts a new remaster of the original soundtrack, demos, studio outtakes, work mixes, interviews and movie ads, along with newly discovered dialog reels, revealing an early audio edit of the film. Also included in the collection is a wealth of never-before-heard audio documentary material surrounding the project. 

    Available today is an exciting, previously unreleased alternate version of “Magic Fingers (Version B, Mix Outtake),” from the demo sessions, recorded in August 1970 at Whitney Studios, and featured on Disc 2 alongside a handful of outtakes and alternate takes of other soundtrack standouts like “Tell Me You Love Me,” “Road Ladies,” “What Will This Morning Bring Me This Evening,” and “What Will This Evening Bring Me This Morning.” “Magic Fingers (Version B, Mix Outtake)” starts off like the original but then takes a wild detour halfway through, trading Zappa’s extended guitar workout for a rollicking mix of rock and roll motifs crammed into an exhilarating three minutes.

    This latest outtake comes on the heels of the recently released non-music track, “What Is 200 Motels,” culled from the 200 Motels commercial and trailer recording session, recorded in November 1971, and featuring Frank Zappa, Howard Kaylan, Mark Volman and Jim Pons parodying a news interview about the surrealistic documentary film. This track, available on Disc 5: 200 Motels – Alternates and Outtakes,

    followed the October release of “Mystery Roach” (Dialog Protection Reel) taken from Disc 3, which houses the “Dialog Protection Reels.” Found in the Vault, these work in progress tracks reveal an early version of the movie. The music mixes are in mono and were created before Zappa went into Whitney Studios for over-dubbing and sweetening.

    PRE-ORDER 200 MOTELS 50th ANNIVERSARY EDITION

    Fully authorized by the Zappa Trust and produced by Ahmet Zappa and Zappa Vaultmeister Joe Travers, the expansive 200 Motels 50th Anniversary Edition is a definitive super deluxe six-disc box set of the beloved, yet hard to find, soundtrack that has been lovingly assembled in celebration of the film and soundtrack’s golden anniversary. The six-disc set will be housed in a 64-page hardcover book in a handsome 12” x 12” slipcase. The packaging replicates the original booklet updated with revealing new liner notes from Pamela Des Barres, Ruth Underwood and Joe Travers, as well as Patrick Pending’s essay from the 1997 reissue, and is chock full of motion picture artwork, stills and images, from the film and its making, many which have never been seen before. This must-have collector’s release will also include a custom “200 Motels” keychain and Do-No-Disturb motel door hanger and a full-size replica of the original movie poster. Years in the making, all the audio was meticulously identified and transferred over several years as Travers dug through the Vault to create a new high resolution 96K/24B digital patchwork stereo master from the original analog tapes. The Vault material was mastered by John Polito in 2021.

    Discs 1 and 2 feature the remastered soundtrack with the second half of the second disc consisting of demos and demo outtakes; two of the many highlights from these sessions include unreleased alt mixes and alt takes of the Chunga’s Revenge tunes, “Road Ladies” and “Tell Me You Love Me.” Discs 3 and 4 contain the “Dialog Protection Reels,” which reveal an early version of the movie, while Disc 5 and 6 present unreleased outtakes, alternates and historical nuggets sequenced in the order of the original shooting script, the way Zappa originally envisioned before he ran into time and budget constraints. These illuminating discs reveal Zappa’s original intent for the film for the first time.

    The remastered 200 Motels soundtrack, by Bernie Grundman at Bernie Grundman Mastering, will also be reissued on vinyl as a 2LP pressed on 180-gram black vinyl and also as a limited edition red vinyl pressing on 180-gram vinyl, which will only be available exclusively through Zappa.com, uDiscoverMusic.com or SoundofVinyl.com. Both will be pressed by Optimal Media in Germany and be the first time the album has been available on vinyl in decades. The soundtrack will also be released on 2CD and all formats will include a smaller version of the movie poster. Additionally, the entire Super Deluxe Edition box set will be available digitally for streaming and download, marking the soundtrack’s digital debut, in both standard and hi-res audio. Pre-order for all configurations is available now.

    Released in October 1971, Frank Zappa’s “200 Motels” was a miraculous feat, a cinematic collision of the venerated musician and composer’s kaleidoscopic musical and visual worlds that brought together Zappa and his band, The Mothers, Ringo Starr as Zappa – as “a large dwarf” – Keith Moon as a perverted nun, Pamela Des Barres in her acting debut, noted thespian Theodore Bikel, the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra, and an incredible assortment of characters (both on screen and off) for a “surrealistic documentary” about the bizarre life of a touring musician. A heady, psychedelic stew of low and high brow art forms, the film, written by Zappa and co-directed by him and Tony Palmer, mixed together irreverent comedic skits, madcap satire, eye-popping animation and virtuosic on-screen musical performances from both The Mothers and the RPO for a fascinating and free-wheeling multimedia extravaganza. Shot in just 10 days with a budget of around $650,000 from distributor United Artists, “200 Motels” was one of the first movies to be filmed entirely on videotape and Zappa and crew pushed the envelope of the burgeoning new medium’s possibilities, mostly notably through its use of spectacular – and at the time – state-of-the-art visual effects. Described by Zappa as “at once a reportage of real events and an extrapolation of them… other elements include ‘conceptual by-products’ of the extrapolated ‘real event’ … In some ways the contents of the film are autobiographical,” “200 Motels” was hailed by the Los Angeles Times as a “a stunning achievement” with “just the right touch of insanity,” and the “Zaniest piece of filmusical fantasy-comedy since The Beatles' ‘A Hard Day's Night’” by Daily Variety.

    The music, and its corresponding soundtrack, was equally diverse, a wild pastiche of avant garde rock and orchestral compositions interspersed with dialog from the film. Up until that time, compositions like the finale piece, “Strictly Genteel,” were some of the most ambitious material ever written and recorded by Zappa. The band in the film and on the soundtrack consisted of Frank Zappa (guitar & bass), Mark Volman (vocals & special material), Howard Kaylan (vocals & special material), Ian Underwood (keyboards & winds), Aynsley Dunbar (drums), George Duke (keyboards & trombone), Martin Lickert (bass), Jimmy Carl Black (vocals), and Ruth Underwood (orchestra drum set), not to mention the aforementioned Royal Philharmonic Orchestra. In true Zappa fashion as he wrote in the album’s original liner notes, “This music is not in the same order as in the movie. Some of this music is in the movie. Some of this music is not in the movie. Some of the music that’s in the movie is not in the album. Some of the music that was written for the movie is not in the movie or the album. All of this music was written for the movie, over a period of 4 years. Most of it (60%) was written in motels while touring.”

    Putting together this 50th anniversary edition was a labor intensive process that bore fruit at nearly every turn as Travers dug through Zappa’s expansive archives to put together this exhaustive edition. As Travers writes in the liners, “During this search and seizure mission, I was able to unearth a multitude of audio treasures from a very large number of tapes. Original demos, session outtakes, alternate mixes and versions, and even dialog reels that captured an edit of the film that predates the final assembly which eventually made it to theaters everywhere in 1971.” Amongst the gems discovered include a number of ¼-inch reel-to-reel tapes that were made at Trident Studios during February of ’71, which  contain rough mixes of nearly everything that was recorded on multi-track. As Travers explains, “they reflect raw performances, as they happened before FZ would get a hold of the multi-track masters and bring them to Whitney Studios in Glendale for over-dubs and sweetening. The Trident tapes allow us to hear music that did not make the film, or the final soundtrack album. They also helped us to reconstruct pieces of music like ‘The Pleated Gazelle’ or ‘What’s The Name Of Your Group?’ into their full sequences per the score. Over the years, even Frank himself forgot the sheer amount of music that actually did get recorded. All of the archiving for this 50th Anniversary set has produced incredible amounts of content that we would never had known existed otherwise.”
