Veröffentlichung Kurz & knapp: Sammelthread für "kleine" Veröffentlichungen

[Oliver79]

Es ist natürlich sehr schade, dass aufgrund dieser dämlichen neuen Geschäftspolitik von CAM für viele Labels deren Katalog nun wieder verschlossen ist. Hat Saimel jetzt überhaupt noch Möglichkeiten an ältere Scores heranzukommen?

[Stefan Schlegel]

Keiner weiß genau, was Sugar wirklich vorhat. Das ist alles im Moment äußerst undurchsichtig und es bleibt einem nichts Anderes übrig als abzuwarten, was überhaupt passiert und ob es gar ähnlich läuft wie bei Sony in den USA. Es kann sein, es normalisiert sich alles wieder in ein paar Monaten, genauso gut ist aber das Gegenteil möglich. Von Saimel wird jedenfalls in den nächsten Monaten sicherlich keine weitere CD mit einem älteren italienischen Score erscheinen.
Es wären zwar bereits Bänder aus dem CAM-Katalog für drei weitere Projekte da, aber die ließen sich jetzt aufgrund von mehreren Problemen so auf die Schnelle nicht mehr realisieren - bei einem Score etwa sind die Bänder nur unvollständig erhalten, so daß man mit einem weiteren koppeln müßte, bei einem anderen ist das Problem, daß der Film selbst kaum aufzutreiben ist etc.

[Oliver79]

Ich hoffe, dass sich das wirklich wieder etwas beruhigen wird. Wäre ja ein Riesenverlust für die Labels und die Sammlerwelt. Zumal ja die anderen Verlage kaum so ein Archiv vorzuweisen haben. Was ist eigentlich mit Cinevox los, abgesehen von ein paar weniger interessanten Re-Issues wie zuletzt "La setta", scheint da auch nichts mehr zu gehen, oder?

[Stefan Schlegel]

Was soll denn von Cinevox überhaupt noch groß kommen? Deren Katalog ist zum Großteil längst ausgewertet worden durch die diversen Labels (Saimel, Quartet, Digitmovies) über die letzten 15-20 Jahre hinweg. Alles, was kommerziell nur ein bißchen einträglich ist, ist da längst abgegrast. Und Cinevox selbst ist natürlich schon vor einigen Jahren total zu Streaming und digitalem Download übergeschwenkt. Die haben so gut wie alle ihre früheren LPs und CDs auf Youtube hochgeladen und verrmutlich auch auf die anderen Streaming-Plattformen. Daß da halt ein- oder zweimal im Jahr verrückterweise immer noch mal ein CD-Reissue mit einem ihrer beliebten und bereits mehrfach aufgelegten Horror-Titel kommt, hat nicht mehr viel zu besagen. Es zeigt eben nur, daß diese Horror-Geschichten von Goblin oder auch Donaggio so ziemlich die einzigen Sachen sind, wo es sich für sie noch halbwegs lohnt, mal ab und an wieder eine neue CD-Auflage zu produzieren, weil eben ein bestimmtes Genre-Fan-Publikum dafür da ist. Ansonsten kann man Cinevox aber eigentlich ziemlich abhaken.

Dragon’s Domain Records, to be distributed through buysoundtrax.com, presents the original soundtrack release for HOAX, featuring music composed and performed by Alan Howarth (THE LOST EMPIRE, HEADLESS) for the 2019 horror film directed by Matt Allen, written by Scott Park and Allen, starring Adrienne Barbeau, Brian Thompson, Ben Browder, Shoshana Bush, Cheryl Texiera, Hutch Dano and Pat Jankiewicz as The Shape.

Released in 2019, HOAX tells the story of a washed up television producer who leads an investigative team deep into the remote Colorado wilderness after a group of young campers are brutally murdered by what may or may not be Bigfoot only to discover that they are now being hunted one-by-one by something that isn’t quite human but smarter than most savage predators.

Alan Howarth, in addition to being a composer, is an accomplished sound designer and editor, having worked on films such as STAR TREK: THE MOTION PICTURE, POLTERGEIST, TOTAL RECALL, ARMY OF DARKNESS, BRAM STOKER’S DRACULA, STARGATE and many others. He has been a frequent music collaborator with John Carpenter on his films beginning with ESCAPE FROM NEW YORK in 1980 and including HALLOWEEN II & III, CHRISTINE, BIG TROUBLE IN LITTLE CHINA, THEY LIVE and PRINCE OF DARKNESS and Alan has scored many films on his own, including RETRIBUTION, HALLOWEEN 4 & 5, THE DENTIST, HEADLESS, BOO!, EVILUTION, BASEMENT JACK and most recently, HOUSE AT THE END OF THE DRIVE, BRUTAL and PROMISE.

Dragon’s Domain Records presents HOAX, featuring music composed and performed by Alan Howarth. HOAX is a limited edition release of 500 units and is expected to begin shipping the week of Feburary 1. The suggested retail price is $17.95. The first 50 copies sold through the website will include an autograph by the composer.

Dragon’s Domain Records, to be distributed through buysoundtrax.com, presents the original motion picture soundtrack to DINOSAUR ISLAND. This album features the music composed by Chuck Cirino for the fantasy-comedy about a group of soldiers stranded on a remote island occupied by scantily-clad amazons and hungry dinosaurs.

The 1994 film was directed by Jim Wynorski and Fred Olen Ray, financed by Roger Corman, and distributed straight to video by New World Home Video. “The film got made because Roger had some dinosaurs left over from CARNOSAUR,” said Fred Olen Ray. “I think the lure to re-use these things he’d already paid for was too much to resist.”

Composer Chuck Cirino rejoined the directors after scoring numerous films for them individually. Restrained to create a score on then state-of-the-art synthesizers by the film’s low budget, Cirino merged the musical influences of Bernard Herrmann, Elmer Bernstein, Ennio Morricone, and ‘60s exotica with his own stylistic savvy to create a compelling and exciting score that, for the most part, played straight man to the film’s stimulating slapstick. “This score is a little more special to me than the other scores of that era because Jim and Fred were doing it together. I knew this was going to be an interesting movie because they were making a giant dinosaur movie with limited funding. This was their answer to JURASSIC PARK, so I wanted the score to be huge!” 

Dragon’s Domain Records is excited to bring the soundtrack from DINOSAUR ISLAND to compact disc for the first time, mastered by James Nelson at Digital Outland with exclusive liner notes by author Randall Larson, with the participation of the composer and the directors. DINOSAUR ISLAND is a limited edition release of 500 units. As a special offer, the first 50 people to order the album from the record label’s website will have their copy autographed by the composer at no additional charge. Dinosaur Island will ship on the week of February 1st, 2020.

Chris' Soundtrack Corner präsentiert die CD-Premiere von Alessandro Blonksteiners Apocalypse Domani:

Zitat

Chris' Soundtrack Corner proudly presents the CD soundtrack to Antonio Margheriti's horror film Apocalypse Domani, better known in English terrotories as Zombie Apocalypse and sometimes by its alternate US title, Invasion of the Flesh Hunters). The movie was released in 1980, one of no less than ten flesh-eating horror classics emerging in that year alone. Cannibal Apocalypse is rather unique in comparison, occupying several genres at once – merging the cannibal film with the flesh-eating zombie movie and then adding elements of Euro war cinema, the Vietnam vet drama, the urban thriller, and the family-oriented horror picture – a veritable confluence of Italian exploitation genres in a single film!

The picture opens in the jungles of Southeast Asia during the Vietnam War. US Army Captain Norman Hopper (John Saxon) has led a group of soldiers to rescue a pair of his men, Charlie Bukowski (Giovanni Lombardo Radice, credited as John Morghen), and Tommy Thompson (Tony King), who have been captured by the Viet Cong. In the process Norman discovers his apprehended men have been infected by a virus that makes them crave human flesh. Norman is bitten by a hunger-crazed Tommy, but he manages to control his new-found craving and that of the captives enough to rescue them and survive the rest of his tour relatively unscathed, except for a touch of post-traumatic stress. With this sequence establishing a backstory, the rest of the film takes place far from the jungle, in urban Atlanta, Georgia, where Hopper has resumed normal family life, only to find a seriously traumatized Bukowski show up to renew acquaintances – which motivates their latent cannibalistic hunger into a compulsion neither veteran can't stop.

Cannibal Apocalypse benefits from the funky rhythms, harshly declarative keyboard statements, intricate patterns of progressive rock, and romantic jazz composed and conducted by Alessandro (aka Alexander) Blonksteiner (1930-1985). This was only one of three scores that he composed. He provides the movie with several distinctive themes that are developed across the film's soundtrack and support Margheriti's extended urban action sequences. This is no more a subtle score than the movie is a subtle film, and Blonksteiner's electric rock-and-funk vibe fits the storyline and period like a closed mouth. Elegance is left for softer moments of the film's love theme, while the rending of flesh via blood-stained teeth is well suited to chaotic rock variations and sonic synthesis.

The Cannibal Apocalypse score was originally released in 1980 on Beat Records vinyl with 14 tracks. Chris' Soundtrack Corner is proud to offer the premiere release of this soundtrack on CD, with an extended program of 26 tracks, twelve of which have not appeared previously. The album is produced by Christian Riedrich and mastered by Enrico De Gemini. The CD is accompanied by a 16-page illustrated booklet designed by Aletta Heinsohn featuring detailed, exclusive notes on the film and its score by film music journalist Randall D. Larson, who deconstructs the score's elements in detail.

Einmal Bruno Coulais aus den 1990ern und eine aktuelle Arbeit gibt es ab Freitag von Music Box Records:

Zitat

 

World Premiere Release.
37 minutes of music never-before-released.
8-page CD booklet with French and English liner notes by Sylvain Pfeffer.

In collaboration with Universal Publishing Production Music, Music Box Records presents the world premiere release of composer Bruno Coulais’s original score to the 1995 drama Adultère (mode d'emploi) (Adultery: A User's Guide), directed by Christine Pascal (Zanzibar and Le Petit Prince a dit).

Adultère (mode d'emploi) was the third collaboration between director-actress Christine Pascal and composer Bruno Coulais. The film is about the sentimental mishaps of a couple of promising young architects: Bruno (Vincent Cassel) and Fabienne (Karine Viard). As usual, Bruno Coulais gives a particular musical identity to the film. Dominated by the voice of the mezzo soprano Marie Kobayashi, the main theme, built on an ostinato, intrudes on Bruno and Fabienne’s life, hopping from one note to the next according to the rhythm of their sentimental or sexual adventures.

The score of Adultère (mode d’emploi) is typical of Bruno Coulais’s style, which gives a central place to singing voices. It brings to light all the art of this composer, who knows how to adapt to the topic of a film, yet always retains his freedom and the singularity of a very personal musical universe. The 8-page booklet features an essay by Sylvain Pfeffer discussing the film and the score. This is a limited edition of 300 units.

World Premiere CD Release.
Including two CD exclusive bonus tracks.
Limited Edition of 300 units.

In collaboration with Hippocampus and High Sea Production, Music Box Records presents the premiere CD release of the score for Mounia Meddour's Papicha (2019) composed by Rob (Maniac, Planetarium, The Bureau).

Algeria, 1990s. Nedjma, an 18 year-old student passionate about fashion design refuses to let the tragic events of the Algerian Civil War to keep her from experiencing a normal life. As the social climate becomes more conservative, she rejects the new bans set by the radicals and decides to fight for her freedom and independence by putting on a fashion show.

Rob composed a very delicate and haunting score which emphasizes the energy, the freshness and the charisma of the lead characters.

The album contains two exclusive bonus tracks that are not available on digital release. This is a limited edition of 300 units

Von GAD Records kommen am 14. Februar zwei neue CDs mit polnischer Film- und TV-Musik:

Zitat

 

An iconic movie – a piece of multicolored, psychedelic cinema of the late 1960s and the early 1970s. On how to listen to birds and more… An astonishing music… Rock, jazz and much more…

“Dzięcioł” (The Woodpecker) is the first feature film by Jerzy Gruza, made in 1970. Loved by viewers, scolded by reviewers, this comedy tells the story of love struggles of Stefan Waldek (played by Wiesław Gołas) who becomes a grass widower for a couple of days and whose life does not go actually as planned. This was also the debut of Henryk Kuźniak and Juliusz Loranc: their first soundtrack for the feature movie. The debut was an absolute success and a proof of the composers’ extraordinary openness and creativity. The soundtrack is short – only thirty minutes – but it unfolds into an abundance of sounds – from prepared piano and electronic experiments, through intimate noir jazz to bouncing, psychedelic and rocky grooves and bossa nova! A true folly with opera and… mackerel in the background.

The complete set of pieces written by Henryk Kuźniak and Juliusz Loranc for “Dzięcioł” (including take unused in the final cut) has been remastered from original tapes. The booklet includes an extensive essay on the marvels of Henryk Kuźniak’s music by Łukasz Maciejewski and some original stills.

 

Zitat

 

A diverse and compelling soundtrack from the popular TV series by Sylwester Szyszko, from 1979. Piotr Hertel, the composer known for his work for the “Akcja pod Arsenałem” feature movie and “Miś Uszatek” animated TV series, surprises here with keyboards, percussion instruments themes and appealing orchestral arrangements. For the first time on the CD!

The series which told the story of Bolek Małolepszy, as a slice of his life struggles at the Polish countryside of the late 1970s, was warmly received by viewers. An attractive drama storyline was accompanied with a stunningly colorful soundtrack. Bucolic, countryside atmosphere emanates from lyrical string sections and flowing flute or oboe themes. Along with a careful yet modest selection of orchestra instruments, Hertel introduced partitions for the Rhodes, the bass guitar and keyboards. He invited for cooperation Karol Nicze and his band – set up a short while earlier to earn money during cruise trips.

The album features a collection of music themes by Piotr Hertel used in all seven series episodes. Recordings have been remastered from original tapes stored at the Polish TV Archives. The booklet includes a brief bio of the composer, notes on the recordings and some stills from the series. This is another addition to the very successful CD series which has already featured soundtracks from such productions as “07 zgłoś się” by Włodzimierz Korcz or “Akademia Pana Kleksa” by Andrzej Korzyński.

Waxwork veröffentlichen von Robs Score zu dem neuen Horrorstreifen "Gretel and Hansel" ausnahmsweise auch mal eine CD:

Zitat

Waxwork Records is proud to present GRETEL & HANSEL Original Motion Picture Soundtrack by ROB.  Directed by Osgood Perkins (The Blackcoat’s Daughter, I Am The Pretty Thing That Lives in the House) and starring Sophia Lillis (It Chapters 1 and 2), Gretel & Hansel is a 2020 American Dark Fantasy Horror Film based on the German folklore tale Hansel and Gretel by The Brothers Grimm. The story is set a long time ago in a distant fairy tale countryside and focuses on a young girl who leads her little brother into a dark wood in desperate search of food and work, only to stumble upon a nexus of terrifying evil. Gretel & Hansel offers a terrifying untold story to the classic fairytale.

The soundtrack by Paris-based composer ROB (Revenge, Horns) is a haunting and hypnotic electronic soundscape that features Moog synthesizers and a mellotron. There was no orchestra involved in the creating process, as ROB played all instruments himself, except from additional cellos by his recording partner Moritz Reich.

From the composer:

“The idea was to avoid the traditional musical schemes used in tales such as the use of symphonic orchestras, and therefore find a more original and specific color, using both warm and synthetic sounds with the predominance of the mellotron and the Moog synths.

I find it essential to create melodies that we can sing or whistle (themes, ritournelle...), as, in horror cinema, it is usually the opposite, where the music rather has a tendency toward structure and abstraction. For this project, which is a film about kids, it seemed important to have that.”

Waxwork Records is excited to present Gretel & Hansel as a deluxe CD release featuring the complete film music by ROB with new artwork by Sara Deck. The packaging, artwork, and design is a nod to classic fairytale books such as Little Golden Books.

Dragon’s Domain Records, to be distributed through buysoundtrax.com, presents THE CONRAD POPE COLLECTION, VOLUME 1 featuring music composed and conducted by Conrad Pope (PAVILION OF WOMEN, MY WEEK WITH MARILYN, TIM’S VERMEER) for four feature films from his filmography.

Conrad Pope is one of Hollywood’s most in-demand orchestrators, known for his numerous collaborations with composers John Williams, James Horner, Howard Shore, Alexandre Desplat, James Newton Howard, Alan Silvestri, John Powell, Mark Isham, Danny Elfman, and many others. Pope also has a resume of some 18 original film scores to his credit. His talent in many aspects of movie music and his dexterity on scoring paper and concert stage alike has given him a sought-after reputation in Hollywood that has remained durable and dependable for thirty-five years.

GHOST SHIP was based on the true story about a Spanish galleon in 1863 that was swept up the flooding Colorado River from San Diego, and was stranded and wrecked far inland in the Salton Sea. The fictional part of the story has to do with seven kids, who learn of the lost galleon and turn a boring school rock-collecting trip into a quest for a shipload of lost pirate treasure. Somehow the filmmakers were able to fund $100,000 to record the score with a 75-piece orchestra, an unheard of amount for an independent movie. Pope’s score is grandly adventurous with large orchestral gestures, a Coplandesque motif setting the tone for a late 19^th Century adventure involving eager kids.

Released in 1994, TEMPTATION is a potboiler about insurance fraud and murder. The director was looking for music along the lines of Jerry Goldsmith’s BASIC INSTINCT. His score for the film emphasizes fluid string lines and is built around a main theme for the primary character, along with a surging action motif for brass and a suspended electronic choral element. Pope composed both the electronic and the orchestral music for the film; the latter was recorded with a 52-piece orchestra.

1995’s science fiction thriller PROJECT: METALBEAST is about a group of scientists who create a super soldier by injecting the subject with the blood of a werewolf. Naturally, the experiment goes massively awry and the manufactured lycanthrope is cryogenically frozen for 20 years—after which it’s revived by the surviving member of the original project, who enhances the were-soldier with a synthetic metallic skin that makes it virtually indestructible. Thanks, Doc. Pope’s music for the film is grandly powerful, with an especially glorious finale.

UNDER THE MOON was made in late 1993, but you won’t find it listed on IMDB or anywhere else, because it had a single showing and then disappeared from the face of the Earth. The film was a passion project from a group of young would-be filmmakers from El Paso and tells the (at the time) unthinkable story of a man whose girlfriend, a school teacher, breaks up with him and he becomes so enraged that he comes down to the school and shoots her in her classroom, taking some of the children hostage and ultimately making an escape in a school bus.

The four film scores included on this collection all stem from 1992-95 and are the first movie scores Conrad Pope wrote. The music reflects the influence of the composers Pope orchestrated for, but they also exhibit what he could do with that inspiration when left to his own creativity. All four of the scores on this album were performed by a contracted orchestra in Salt Lake City, Utah.

Dragon’s Domain Records is excited to bring the contents of THE CONRAD POPE COLLECTION, VOLUME 1 to compact disc for the first time. The music has been mastered by James Nelson at Digital Outland, with liner notes written by author Randall Larson, including the participation of composer Conrad Pope.

THE CONRAD POPE COLLECTION, VOLUME 1 is a limited edition release of 500 units. Composer Conrad Pope will sign the first 100 copies of THE CONRAD POPE COLLECTION, VOLUME 1 sold through the website.

Dragon’s Domain Records, to be distributed through buysoundtrax.com, will be releasing AGATHA – MUSIC INSPIRED BY THE MOTION PICTURE featuring music composed and conducted by Howard Blake (THE DUELLISTS, THE RIDDLE OF THE SANDS, THE SNOWMAN) but ultimately not used for the 1979 feature film directed by Michael Apted (21 Up series, GORILLAS IN THE MIST, THUNDERHEART, ENIGMA) and starring Vanessa Redgrave, Dustin Hoffman, Timothy Dalton, Helen Morse and Celia Gregory.

In 1926, legendary mystery writer Agatha Christie disappeared for 11 days. To this day, no one knows the details of what she did during that period of time. AGATHA presents a fictional account of Christie’s time away, showing her as a woman fleeing from her own life following the death of her mother and the announcement from her husband that he’s leaving her. Fleeing to a spa in Harrowgate while the whole country is looking for her, American reporter Wally Stanton (Hoffman) finds her and ultimately tries to help her.

Howard David Blake was born in the London borough of Enfield in 1938. At the age of eighteen, he was awarded the Hastings Festival Scholarship and attended the Royal Academy of Music where he studied piano and composition. His interest in the cinema led him to a number of outside jobs and he worked as a projectionist at the National Film Theatre. Turning down a second scholarship from the British Film Institute, Blake instead became a piano session player, arranger and orchestrator at Abbey Road and other studios for several composers, including Stanley Myers, Quincy Jones and Bernard Herrmann. It was Herrmann who introduced Blake to Laurie Johnson, staff composer for THE AVENGERS, leading to his first television scoring assignment in 1967. His work in television and advertising music continued and his frequent collaboration with celebrated commercials director Ridley Scott led to his scoring of the director’s debut feature THE DUELLISTS in 1977.

Blake’s most prolific film composing period followed with a string of features including THE RIDDLE OF THE SANDS, S.O.S. TITANIC, FLASH GORDON, THE LORDS OF DISCIPLINE. In 1982, Blake accepted the invitation to write the music and lyrics for an animated film, THE SNOWMAN. Instantly hailed as a classic, the score topped the British pop charts and the concert work is still regularly performed around the world each Christmas.

In 1989, he won the BFI Anthony Asquith Award for Best Musical Score for A MONTH IN THE COUNTRY. Since the mid-1980s, Howard Blake has been the Musical Director of the Sinfonia of London, a leading film session orchestra. The composer was awarded the Order of the British Empire in 1994 for his artistic contributions in music.

Dragon’s Domain Records presents the world premiere release of Howard Blake’s music for AGATHA.

The Airstrip One Company presents film music composed and conducted by Howard Blake (THE AVENGERS, THE SNOWMAN, FLASH GORDON) for two of his most sought-after film scores.

The first film score represented is THE DUELLISTS, the 1977 period drama directed by Ridley Scott, based on the story 'The Duel' by Joseph Conrad, starring Keith Carradine and Harvey Keitel, Albert Finney, Edward Fox and Cristina Raines. During the Napoleonic Era, Lieutenant d'Hubert (Carradine), an officer in the French army accidentally offends another officer, Lieutenant Feraud (Keitel) and sets off a life-long enmity that finds the two crossing swords time and again in an attempt to achieve “justice” and preserve their “honor.”

The second film score represented is THE RIDDLE OF THE SANDS, the 1979 WWI spy adventure directed by Tony Maylam, based on the then-popular espionage novel written by Erskine Childers, starring Michael York, Simon MacCorkindale and Jenny Agutter. In 1901, two British yachtsmen stumble upon a German plot to invade the east coast of England with a flotilla of specially designed barges. To thwart the German plot, they will have to outwit not only the best sailors in the German Navy but the Kaiser himself.

Both scores contain beautiful lush orchestral music written by a classically-trained composer at the top of his game, performed by the National Philharmonic Orchestra.

Includes a deluxe booklet with many rare stills from both films, liner notes that include an introduction by director Ridley Scott and retrospectives by actor Michael York and director Tony Maylam and insights into the making of both productions. This release contains over 70 minutes of music.

Barry Gray’s original Television score for Gerry Anderson's Supermarionation show.



Following from Four Feather Falls, Supercar was the second Gerry Anderson show to use the Supermarionation technique. Based on the Czech style of marionette puppetry, Supermarionation was Gerry and Sylvia Anderson’s development of the technique to include synchronisation of puppet’s lip movements with pre-recorded dialogue.



Between 1961 and 1962, thirty-nine episodes were produced. Due to lack of funding and speed of production, Barry Gray had to produce music fast; he composed a series of ‘themes’ for locations, situation and characters. The main star of the show, the Super car, was given the heroic theme, whilst the rest of the score is at times whimsical and charming to support the dialogue and at others menacing when underlining the drama. The orchestra was comprised of forty instrumentalists and was conducted by Barry himself.



Barry Gray was amongst the first composers to use electronic instruments in music for television. One such instrument was the Ondes Martenot, used to produce otherworldly musical motifs and fragments and later to create electronic sound effects in his future score for Captain Scarlet and the Mysterons. Other shows he later used this instrument for include Doppelganger and Doctor Who films Dr Who and the Daleks and Daleks’ Invasion Earth 2150 AD.



On this album, the 20 themes featured create a coherent listening experience. They guide the listener through the music map of the show.

Quartet Records and Gruppo Sugar presents the premiere releases of two Carlo Savina psychedelic cult classics.

Manuel Mur Oti’s PERVERSIONE (also know as Diary of an Erotic Murderess and La encadenada) stars Marisa Mell as a seductress getting involved with both father and son in order to inherit a huge estate. The film’s score is largely based around a piano theme for the character of the son – actor Anthony Steffen was actually an accomplished pianist and had played musicians in several of his films. The depraved hallucinations feature the incomparable vocal solos of Edda dell’Orso.

Corrado Prisco’s STRESS stars Lou Castel who carved out his own niche in playing troubled youth – this time, a young university student who returns home, but the political indoctrinations at student rallies might have sent him too far down the rabbit hole… Savina’s score is quite short and is largely characterized by a baroque feel reinforcing the ideas of the prodigal son’s returning with children’s vocals, lullabies and a cembalo. The main and end credits featuring Edda dell’Orso are available for the first time as they were replaced with classical and folk music respectively.

Mastered by Claudio Fuiano, the CD comes with 8-page booklet with Gergely Hubai discussing the films, the composer and the scores.

Quartet Records and Beat Records presents the highly requested re-release of fan favorite Nora Orlandi score.

LO STRANO VIZIO DELLA SIGNORA WARDH (also known as The Strange Vice of Mrs. Wardh, Blade of the Ripper and Next Victim) was the first entry of filmmakers Luciano and Sergio Martino into the field of giallo. Featuring Luciano’s wife, Edwige Fenech in the title role, Mrs. Wardh is an exquisite erotic thriller featuring the hunt for a razor-wielding serial killer who seems to have started to blackmail the heroine. But are the two crimes really related?

Hot on the heels of her score for IL DOCE CORPO DI DEBORAH, composer Nora Orlandi unleashes the full power of Dies Irae, the legendary Medieval melody usually associated with death and murder. Not since Ennio Morricone’s I PUGNI IN TASCA have we encountered so many playful adaptations of the classic melody. The score is augmented by cool psychedelic organs, frantic rhythms, and a number of jazzy and lounge source cues for the lavish parties attended by Mrs. Wardh.

Slightly remastered, the CD comes with 8-page booklet with Gergely Hubai discussing the film, the composer and the score.
