Sudden Death (1995) was the second of two Peter Hyams films starring “the muscles from Brussels,” Jean-Claude Van Damme. After 1994’s Timecop, Sudden Death was patterned on the durable “Die Hard in a…” premise: here, the contained space is Pittsburgh Civic Arena, wired to explode by terrorists at the conclusion of game seven of the Stanley Cup finals. Sudden Death was received as an above-average action film, with strong action and suspense as well as an emotional element: fire marshal Darren McCord (Van Damme) must rescue his daughter from the terrorists, even as he fights and kills their underlings—and saves a game-winning goal on the ice. Peter Hyams’ directorial vision has always been to score action with percussion and raw affect, not artifice. Sudden Death was the first of his three collaborations with John Debney (followed by The Relic and End of Days), receiving a pulse-pounding, orchestral tour de force from the young composer. “John Debney understood every emotion and where they needed to be amplified,” Hyams says today. “He’s a wonderful talent, and I adored working with him.” Sudden Death was released by Varèse Sarabande in a 9-track, half-hour program at the time of the film. This Deluxe Edition expands the program to 28 tracks and 64 minutes, with Hyams and Debney newly interviewed by Daniel Schweiger for the liner notes.

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. Directed by Robert Mulligan (To a Kill Mockingbird) from a script and book by Tom Tryon, and costarring Uta Hagan and Diana Muldaur, the film has earned a cult reputation as a unique and affecting piece of 1970s horror. 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. Long admired as one of Goldsmith’s most offbeat horror scores—made even more mysterious by the fact that cues were dropped from the finished film—The Other was released in an extended suite by Varèse Sarabande alongside The Mephisto Waltz in 1997. This Deluxe Edition features the complete stereo score in a new audio restoration by Chris Malone with liner notes by Tim Greiving. The Deluxe Edition Produced for Varèse Sarabande Records by Cary E.

Intrada announces a new, 2-CD expansion of James Newton Howard's beloved score to the Walt Disney animated feature Dinosaur (2000). The score was the first of three animated features Howard would score during that time for Disney, followed shortly thereafter by Atlantis and Treasure Planet. Originally released in a generous 51-minute program, this new Intrada release features the full score running some 82 minutes, featuring a wealth of new material previously only heard in the film. One of the absolute highlights is the entire opening sequence, relying primarily on music as there is no dialog. It's well over an hour of soaring themes, aggressive action music, comedic moments—everything you'd expect from a prehistoric dinosaur adventure. For this new release, Intrada was given access to the complete multi-track sessions stored at Disney, which were remixed by Chris Malone. Douglass Fake assembled the album program (one of the last projects he was able to personally produce before his passing). Fake was a huge fan of Newton Howard's work and was thrilled with the opportunity to revisit this epic work. He would have been proud of the final result. The film is a groundbreaking blend of traditional animation and computer-generated imagery. Directed by Eric Leighton and Ralph Zondag, the film follows the journey of an iguanodon named Aladar, who is raised by a family of lemurs after being orphaned. As he grows, Aladar and his adoptive family face the challenges of a changing world and struggle to survive against the backdrop of a dramatic asteroid collision. Dinosaur is notable for its innovative visual effects, which combine CGI dinosaurs with live-action backgrounds, creating a visually stunning and immersive prehistoric world. CD 1 THE SCORE 01.

A 2-CD set. Newly remastered and expanded edition. 16-page CD booklet with liner notes by Daniel Schweiger. Limited Edition of 2000 units. In collaboration with Warner Chappell Music, Sony Music and Paramount Pictures, Music Box Records proudly presents the remastered and expanded edition of Gabriel Yared’s score for the 1999 thriller The Talented Mr. Ripley, starring Matt Damon, Jude Law, Gwyneth Paltrow, Cate Blanchett and Phillip Seymour Hoffman, as written for the screen and directed by Anthony Minghella (The English Patient, Cold Mountain, Breaking and Entering). Nominated for five Academy Awards (including Best Original Score, Best Supporting Actor and Best Adapted Screenplay), this movie about a desperately murderous quest for identity, class and love was based on the most notorious character created by author Patricia Highsmith (Strangers on a Train). Previously adapted as Purple Noon with Alain Delon, Anthony Minghella’s version gave a new, tragically vulnerable take on the character, who insinuates himself among jazz loving expatriates (Jude Law and Gwyneth Paltrow), only to kill the brother he’d always wanted and assume his identity, all while trying to keep his illusion of innocence at any cost. Taking his lush Oscar-winning approach for The English Patient in a new direction to capture both the beat jazz era of the film’s 1959 setting alongside a multi-thematic approach that plays both Ripley’s increasingly psychotic quest for the good life and the wounded, child-like boy that yearns for love and purpose. The score combining striking orchestral melody with suspenseful rhythm, eerie female voices and the music of a dark lullaby (as personified by its title song by Sinéad O’Connor), The Talented Mr. Ripley is a masterpiece of dark romance and suspense that’s a highlight of Yared’s acclaimed collaborations with Anthony Minghella. Celebrating the film's 25th anniversary, this new expanded edition, supervised by Gabriel Yared, has been assembled and remastered from the recording session elements. Disc 1 ("The Film Score") presents the expanded film score with previously unreleased cues. Disc 2 ("The Extras") presents excerpts from the original Sony album, Yared’s demo cues and numerous instrumental tracks that highlight the alternative presentations and edits of the score. The CD comes with a 16-page booklet with liner notes by Daniel Schweiger, who discusses the film and the score including new comments by Gabriel Yared on his career-defining work with Anthony Minghella and film editor Walter Murch. The CD release is limited to 2000 units. DISC 1 - THE FILM SCORE 1. Lullaby for Cain (3:30) Performed by Sinéad O'Connor 2. Italia (0:50) 3. I Hate You (0:50) 4. No, I Like Him (0:54) 5.

Bei uns bereits eingetroffen, demnächst im Handel erhältlich: BERNHARD HOETGER – ZWISCHEN DEN WELTEN (2024) Bernhard Hoetger (1874 – 1949) war Bildhauer, Maler, Architekt und Kunsthandwerker – zu seinen Meisterwerken gehört die Gestaltung der Böttcherstraße sowie das Haus Atlantis in Bremen. Darüber hinaus war sein Schaffen derart vielseitig, dass es kaum in einem Satz zusammen gefasst werden kann. Für die Kino-/Spielfilm-Dokumentation von Regisseurin Gabriele Rose mit Moritz Führmann als Bernhard Hoetger schrieb Carsten Rocker (Prager Botschaft / Held der Gladiatoren) die Musik und konnte hierfür Stefan Pintev (aus dem Elbphilharmonie Orchester) für die Einspielung der Violine sowie der Bratsche gewinnen. Herausgekommen sind mitreißende (A Period of Change, Power of Creation…), aber auch ruhig-zerbrechliche Stücke (Paula…) von großer Intensität. Das CD-Booklet enthält neben zahlreichen Abbildungen auch ein Vorwort der Regisseurin Gabriele Rose sowie Anmerkungen zur Musik von Carsten Rocker. Wir wünschen viel Freude mit dem Album.

Im Film fand ich den Score völlig gesichtslos. Kompetent gemacht, doch leider hat Wallfisch weder einen Stil, noch gelingt ihm prägnantes thematisches Material. Die obige Track-Montage (Track 9 und 1) festigt diesen Eindruck. Mark Mancinas schöner TWISTER bleibt unerreicht.

Und weiter geht es in der „Rob Zombie presents"-Reihe. Rob Zombie and Waxwork Records have partnered to release an exclusive, curated line of classic Horror movie soundtracks! “Rob Zombie Presents” features several never-before-released film soundtracks that were personally selected by the singer, songwriter, and filmmaker. “I have always been a huge fan of movie soundtracks. So I jumped at the opportunity to work with Waxwork on this project.” Says Zombie, “I can’t wait to release these albums. So many of these films are greatly under appreciated and, they all contain such great music. So, to be able to release these deluxe packages is a dream come true.“ - Rob Zombie Rob Zombie and Waxwork Records are thrilled to announce the debut vinyl release of THE LAST MAN ON EARTH Original Motion Picture Score by Paul Sawtell & Bert Shefter.

Wie es aussieht, wird dieser Score zum Horrorfilm mit Anthony Perkins demnächst erscheinen.

For Love of the Game (1999) reunited Kevin Costner with one of his most popular subjects—baseball—as he starred as an aging pitcher who throws a perfect game at Yankee Stadium while reflecting upon his long-term relationship. An unexpected choice of material for director Sam Raimi, the film was lauded for its depiction of the sport and its uplifting Americana score by Basil Poledouris. By the late 1990s, Poledouris was renowned for his mastery of a film scoring genre that was, in a way, coming to its end: the romantic, orchestral depiction of masculinity. From barbarians to cyborg cops, cowboys to submariners, Poledouris found the beating heart of heroic male characters who upheld virtues of honor, loyalty and duty, while allowing themselves to be vulnerable to their loved ones. Costner’s Billy Chapel—pitching in his very last game—was an ideal protagonist, and Poledouris responded with a rich, warm, melodic score that goes from the grandeur and scope of America’s national pastime, to the romantic yearning and intimacy of its very human hero. The score navigates a range of orchestral size—from fully symphonic to heartfelt solos—as well as genre, with pop and R&B brought in for contemporary emphasis. For Love of the Game was released as 10-track, 33-minute CD from Varèse Sarabande at the time of the time. The program has been expanded to 35 tracks and over 78 minutes for this Deluxe Edition, with Daniel Schweiger’s liner notes incorporating interview material from Raimi, Poledouris, and the composer’s agent, Richard Kraft.

Miklós Rózsa’s penultimate film score comes to a comprehensive two-disc Deluxe Edition featuring both the film recording (previously unreleased) and album version. Eye of the Needle was a WWII thriller based on a 1978 novel by Ken Follett, starring Donald Sutherland as a Nazi spy living in England. Stranded on a Scottish island while trying to return to Germany with vital war information, he starts a torrid romance with the unhappy and lonely wife (Kate Nelligan) of the local shepherd. Richard Marquand’s direction so impressed George Lucas that it won him the job of directing Return of the Jedi. By the early 1980s, Miklós Rózsa was the only major Golden Age composer still alive and laudably writing the same kind of timeless symphonic score that made him a Hollywood institution. His grand, sweeping music for Eye of the Needle is unabashedly romantic—vintage Rózsa—at turns suspenseful and brooding, pastoral and uplifting. It magnificently connects the film to its period while enhancing the emotion and drama. Rózsa recorded his music for Eye of the Needle twice: first for the film, with the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra in London, and then in an album version with the Nuremberg Symphony Orchestra in Germany. While the 13-track, 42-minute album (on disc two) has been released by Varèse Sarabande, this is the premiere release of the 23-track, 61-minute film version (on disc one)—making for the ultimate Eye of the Needle release, with new liner notes by Rózsa expert Frank K. DeWald. Limited edition of 2,000. Produced by: Mike Matessino and Cary E. Mansfield Edited by: Mike Matessino Mixed by: Eric A.

THE SUGARLAND EXPRESS Original Motion Picture Soundtrack LLLCD 1650 Universal Pictures Film Music Classics Collection Music composed and conducted by John Williams Limited Edition of 5000 Units RETAIL PRICE: $22.98 La-La Land Records and Universal Studios proudly present the twenty-first title within the acclaimed Universal Pictures Film Music Classics Collection – THE SUGARLAND EXPRESS, a world premiere release of music from the original soundtrack for the very first collaboration between director Steven Spielberg and composer John Williams (JAWS, E.T., SCHINDLER’S LIST). Celebrating its 50th anniversary, THE SUGARLAND EXPRESS, released in 1974, stars Goldie Hawn as a Texas mother who breaks her husband (William Atherton) out of a prison farm when she is denied custody of their baby. Together they hijack a highway patrolman (Michael Sacks) and lead a convoy of media, onlookers, and countless police cars across the state. Spielberg’s first feature film balances comedy, drama and action in what Pauline Kael of The New Yorker called “one of the most phenomenal debut films in the history of movies.” Although Williams’ score never received a prior album release, the 50th anniversary of his historic partnership with Spielberg, along with a revisitation of the film for Universal Studios’ new 4K restoration, yielded the proper conditions to at last create an original soundtrack, which now takes a place of honor in the successful Universal Studios Film Music Classics Collection. While Spielberg originally hoped for a larger scale score for his first movie, Williams convinced him that THE SUGARLAND EXPRESS called for something more intimate. The great Belgian harmonica soloist Toots Thielemans became the principal musical voice of the film, supported by an ensemble of top guitarists and percussionists and a small string ensemble. The resulting music reflects the complex characters and the building tension of the story, with a bluesy, country vibe evoking the landscape and cultural backdrop of the tale. The album presentation, produced by the composer, delivers a distinctive musical journey and features material not used in the completed film. Classics Collection producer Mike Matessino mixed, edited and mastered the album from high resolution transfers of pristine 8-track master tapes, archiving the material as well as conforming the music for a new stereo mix of the film. Matessino also contributes in-depth liner notes detailing the history of the production, the creation of the music, and its place in the legendary Spielberg/Williams collaboration. Art direction by Jim Titus appropriately celebrates this historic premiere release. TRACK LISTING: MUSIC COMPOSED AND CONDUCTED BY JOHN WILLIAMS 1. The Sugarland Express – Main Title 1:29 2.

Kommt am 25.06.

Wird wohl die erste CD dieses Labels, welche ich mir zulegen werde: https://www.howlinwolfrecords.com/storemurderbydecree.html

Erscheint am 28.05.

Und es wird tatsächlich NIGHT PASSAGE sein am 14.5. Wunderbar! Wohl dann der erste 50s-Score in der Universal Classics Collection:

Erscheint in den nächsten Monaten und ist dann die Dritte umfängliche Inkarnation dieser Reihe (nach Toshiba EMI/Futerland und nach Toho Music): Es war vor vielen, vielen Jahren nach einer langen und intensiven Suche, bis ich dann schließlich mit dem Score zum zweiten Film (Musik: Masaru Satoh), die Letzte der Toshiba EMI/Futureland CDs in Händen hielt. Wie es halt als Filmmusikhörer manchmal so ist, die Filme (bis auf Teil 1) haben mich hingegen nie sonderlich interessiert. Gelistet sind die CDs mittlerweile u.a. bei Amazon.com, Music Box Records & Ark Square.

Quartet Records, in collaboration with Decca Classics and Universal Music Enterprises, presents a remastered CD edition of the unique, fascinating and controversial Bernard Herrmann recording of Gustav Holst’s THE PLANETS. Recorded during his post-Hollywood period when he was based in London, it was one of several albums he conducted for Decca Records’ Phase Four series, featuring both his own music and that of other composers. THE PLANETS has always been considered something of a cursed album, yet it is loved by his fans for an interpretation that is more Herrmann than Holst. The recording was not universally acclaimed when it was released. This was in part because several recordings of the work already on the market were considered classics, thus setting a very high bar for new entries. Some listeners, however, found the heavy tread of Herrmann’s “Mars” an actual plus, its mechanistic bombast far more threatening and imposing than the composer’s own recorded performance. Herrmann’s slow trek through the “big tune” in “Jupiter” was more widely criticized, but Herrmann was far from the only conductor who favored slower tempi in the later stages of their career—including in some of the Phase Four recordings of his own music. Nevertheless, Herrmann’s THE PLANETS sold well. Although reissued several times on LP in the 1970s, Herrmann’s recording of THE PLANETS was only released on CD in Australia in 2011 as part of a Holst compilation on Decca Eloquence. This new, first-ever solo CD edition has been restored and mastered by Chris Malone from the original master tapes transferred by UME in the UK, and features brilliant, extensive liner notes by classical and film music writer Frank K. DeWald alongside the original LP liner notes by renowned musicologist Harry Halbreich. Mars, The Bringer of War (8:43) Venus, The Bringer of Peace (10:04) Mercury, The Winged Messenger (4:34) Jupiter, The Bringer of Jollity (9:06) Saturn, The Bringer of Old Age (9:31) Uranus, The Magician (6:54) Neptune, The Mystic (8:11) Total Disc Time: 57:06
