Neu von Dragon's Domain:

Dragon’s Domain Records presents the premiere release of music composed by Don Davis (THE MATRIX films, JURASSIC PARK III, BEHIND ENEMY LINES) for the 1996 television mini-series PANDORA’S CLOCK, based on the novel by John Nance, written by David Israel, directed by Eric Laneauville, starring Richard Dean Anderson, Daphne Zuniga, Jane Leeves, Richard Lawson, Stephen Root, Tim Grimm, Robert Guillaume, Robert Loggia, Jerry Hardin, Kurt Fuller, Jennifer Savidge, Grant Goodeve, Vladimir Kulich, Michael Winters and Edward Herrmann as the President.

Airing in two parts on television in 1996, PANDORA’S CLOCK follows a man infected with a deadly virus aboard a Boeing 747-200 who is traveling from Frankfurt to New York’s JFK Airport. The story begins in Bavaria, where Professor Ernest Helms (Winter), a wildlife documentarian, has a violent incident with a stranger attempting to break into his rental car. After treating a minor wound and despite exhibiting symptoms of an illness, Helms boards International Flight 66, piloted by Captain James Holland (Anderson). Shortly after takeoff, Helms suffers cardiac arrest. Flight attendants perform CPR, and the crew attempts to divert the flight to London, but their request is denied as the authorities have become aware of a potential virus outbreak. As tensions escalate, the U.S. President tries to reroute the flight to RAF Base Mildenhall but the British government mobilizes their forces to block the landing. Eventually, the flight is allowed to land at a U.S. base in Iceland, where a passenger is shot while attempting to break quarantine. Captain Holland takes off again in an attempt to land in Mauritania, only to face off against a Learjet armed with a missile. Anderson manages to outwit the enemy plane and land safely on an isolated volcanic island.

The music for PANDORA'S CLOCK is entirely composed using electronic elements, produced by composer Don Davis. This innovative score is meticulously designed to enhance the action, from the thrilling opening chase scene featuring an infected individual, to a climactic tension-filled conclusion.

Don Davis began playing trumpet and piano at the age of nine and started writing music at twelve. As his affinity for music grew, so did his aspirations and soon he was composing and arranging orchestral charts for local jazz ensembles that he also performed with. After graduation from high school, Davis furthered his study of music at UCLA, majoring in music theory and composition, playing trumpet in college jazz ensembles and orchestras. Although Davis' primary interest had been jazz and rock, he found himself enamored with the avant-garde side of modern music. UCLA introduced Davis to a new world of musical possibilities, and before long he'd begun to plan his future as a composer with an eye toward film music. After graduation from UCLA, Davis continued to study composition with Henri Lazarof and orchestration under Albert Harris. Harris introduced the young Davis to film and television composer Joe Harnell, best known for his work on TV shows such as V and THE INCREDIBLE HULK. Harnell was immediately impressed by Davis' attention to orchestral detail, especially as evidenced by a chamber symphony Davis was writing at the time and became a mentor to Davis and introduced him to the professional world of film and television scoring. His filmography includes music for films such as HYPERSPACE, BOUND, WARRIORS OF VIRTUE,THE MATRIX films, HOUSE ON HAUNTED HILL, ANTITRUST, VALENTINE, JURASSIC PARK III, THE UNSAID, BEHIND ENEMY LINES and THE MARINE.

Dragon’s Domain Records presents the premiere release of PANDORA’S CLOCK, featuring music composed by Don Davis, with liner notes written by author G.B. Kemner and Scott Davis. The music has been mastered by James Nelson at Digital Outland.

Dragon’s Domain Records presents the premiere release of the original motion picture score composed by Steve Edwards (BRIDGE OF DRAGONS, NINJA, FEAST) for the 1998 action film directed by Dean Semler, written by Michael Sussman and John Kingswell, based on the novel by ‘The Last Canadian’ by William Heine, starring Steven Seagal, L.Q. Jones, Gailard Sartain, Camilla Belle, Whitney Yellow Robe, Brad Leland, Philip Winchester and Leonard Mountain Chief.

Released in 1996, THE PATRIOT follows Dr. Wesley McClaren, a local doctor and former government research immunologist, also a weapons and self-defense expert with an interest in herbal medicine as he is called to a hospital where people start dying from an unknown and very deadly disease. After determining that the cause is a highly dangerous airborne virus, he calls in a Biological Response team who proceed to seal off the town while doctors start to treat patients with a vaccine. The source of the virus is traced to Floyd Chisholm (Sartain), a local militia leader. Chisholm gives himself up at the end of a long siege but not before ingesting the virus himself. Appearing court, he spits on the judge and starts the rapid spread of the disease... Floyd’s followers attack the prison where Floyd is being held and break him out. Floyd and his men proceed to lay siege to the hospital where patients are being treated and take hostages, including McClaren and his daughter, Holly. Can McClaren find a cure for the virus with all these distractions before it’s too late?

Composer Steve Edwards’ music education began at an early age, with training by his mother, Rosalie Edwards. His musical passions broadened and deepened during his years as a student at Interlochen followed by studies at Lawrence University, where he received a Bachelor of Music in piano performance. While studying at Lawrence, Edwards won the Outstanding Classical Soloist award sponsored by Downbeat magazine and the All-American College Orchestra National Talent Search sponsored by Disney World. He was honored with the school’s Nathan M. Pusey Young Alumni Achievement Award. Edwards continued his studies at the Dick Grove School of Music in Los Angeles.

As one of Hollywood’s most prolific composers, Edwards’ original compositions are featured in top grossing films including DALLAS BUYERS CLUB, NOMADLAND, AVA, SOUTHPAW, THE MECHANIC, AMELIA, I LOVE YOU, PHILIP MORRIS and many other films in genres ranging from comedy to action, martial arts and documentaries. His original songs and instrumental compositions can be heard on television series such as TWO AND A HALF MEN, IT’S ALWAYS SUNNY IN PHILADELPHIA, MAD MEN, THE BLACKLIST, ER, TRANSPARENT and many other series.

Edwards is founder and artistic director of Source in Sync, an independent production music library that licenses music to NBC, CBS, ABS, Fox, WB, Paramount, and many other television and movie studios worldwide.

Dragon’s Domain Records presents the premiere release of the unused score for TABLE FOR FIVE composed by John Morris (BLAZING SADDLES, YOUNG FRANKENSTEIN, THE ELEPHANT MAN, THE SCARLET LETTER) for the 1983 drama directed by Robert Lieberman, written by David Seltzer, starring Jon Voight, Richard Crenna, Marie-Christine Barrault, Millie Perkins, Roxana Zal, Robby Kiger, Son Hoang Bui and Maria O’Brien.

Released in 1983, TABLE FOR FIVE follows a divorced couple at odds over the welfare of their three children. Jon Voight plays J.P. Tanner, a former professional golfer, who is estranged from his children and longs to re-enter their lives. J.P. comes up with the idea of springing a surprise Mediterranean cruise to Egypt on them, in spite of his ex-wife Kathleen’s acquiescing and contrarian instincts. On the cruise, J.P. uses the time to reacquaint himself with his children while also pursuing a romance with Marie (Barrault), a French archaeologist. The plot thickens when news reaches the boat that Kathleen has been killed in a terrible car accident back in New York, leaving J.P. in conflict over the fate of the children with Mitchell (Crenna), Kathleen’s surviving husband.

John Morris was the original composer brought on to compose the music for TABLE FOR FIVE. For reasons not publicly known, the majority of his music went unused in the final cut of the film and the filmmakers brought in composer Miles Goodman to provide additional music. Morris’ score is lush and full of kaleidoscopic orchestral color, in contrast with Goodman’s music for the film.

John Morris was born in Elizabeth, New Jersey, to Thomas and Helen. He became interested in music as early as three years old when he started learning to play the piano and visiting friends in The Bronx with his parents. His family moved to Independence, Kansas, while he was young, and Morris continued studying piano. By the late 1940s, he moved back to New York City, where he studied at both Juilliard School and at The New School for Social Research. From the 1950s through the 1970s, Morris helped to compose incidental music and dance numbers for a number of Broadway productions. Morris worked with Mel Brooks, starting with Brooks' first film THE PRODUCERS. Prior to this, the two had worked together on two musicals, SHINBONE ALLEY and ALL-AMERICAN. Morris did the original arrangement for ‘Springtime for Hitler’ and the rest of the film's underscore. Morris would continue to work with Brooks on many of his films, including those produced by his production company, Brooksfilms. His filmography includes THE PRODUCERS, THE TWELVE CHAIRS, BLAZING SADDLES, YOUNG FRANKENSTEIN, THE ADVENTURE OF SHERLOCK HOLMES’ SMARTER BROTHER, SILENT MOVIE, THE LAST REMAKE OF BEAU GESTE, HIGH ANXIETY, THE IN-LAWS, THE ELEPHANT MAN, CLUE, HAUNTED HONEYMOON and IRONWEED.

Dragon’s Domain Records presents TABLE FOR FIVE, featuring the premiere release of music from the original score composed and conducted by John Morris. The album includes liner notes written by composer and author Brian Satterwhite. The music has been mastered by James Nelson at Digital Outland.

TABLE FOR FIVE is a limited edition release and is expected to begin shipping the week of July 23, 2025.

Dragon’s Domain Records presents THE GIL MELLÉ COLLECTION – VOL. 2, featuring the world premiere releases of two scores composed by Gil Mellé from his lengthy filmography.

Released in 1981, THE LAST CHASE is a dystopian science fiction film directed by Martyn Burke (POWER PLAY), written by Christopher Crowe, Roy Moore and Burke, starring Lee Majors, Chris Makepeace, Burgess Meredith, Alexandra Stewart, Diane D’Aquila, George Touliatos and Harvey Atkin. Set in a post-apocalyptic 2011, the United States has become a police state that outlaws private vehicles. Franklyn Hart, (Majors) a former race car driver who lost his family to a virus, secretly restores his orange Porsche to escape to 'Free California' with electronics expert Ring McCarthy (Makepeace). Their journey symbolizes the resistance against an oppressive regime, drawing huge public support. Initially tasked with stopping them, Air Force pilot J.G. Williams (Meredith) ultimately sacrifices himself to aid their escape. Gil Melle's score for THE LAST CHASE combines a full symphony orchestra with custom synthesizers, capturing themes of adventure and freedom.

Airing on television in 1976, DYNASTY was written by James Michener (HAWAII, CENTENNIAL, TALES OF THE SOUTH PACIFIC) and Sidney Carroll, starring Stacy Keach, Harris Yulin, Harrison Ford, Sarah Miles, Gerritt Graham, Tony Swartz, Amy Irving, Charles Weldon, John Carter and Rayford Barnes. DYNASTY was a television movie that chronicled the rivalry between the Blackwood brothers over a period of 35 years. Gil Mellé's score for DYNASTY was composed for a large chamber orchestra, evoking a style reminiscent of Aaron Copland, effectively capturing the film's historical setting and the complex personal relationships within.

For nearly five decades, composer Gil Mellé innovated in mixing electronic and orchestral music when he wasn’t playing the nuances of modern jazz or enjoying his collection of unique microscopes at home. Mellé had made a mark in the world of jazz as an outstanding baritone saxophonist and composer who was also noted as a painter. In film and television, his music has been extraordinarily notable, if not well preserved, on records and CDs. His TV-movie music in the early ’70s included a trio of high-profile films for television: MY SWEET CHARLIE, THAT CERTAIN SUMMER, and FRANKENSTEIN: THE TRUE STORY. His most well-known film score was THE ANDROMEDA STRAIN, but as an innovator in the use of electronic music in movies of the 1970s and ’80s, Mellé contributed to a many science fiction, fantasy, and horror television and feature film scores, including NIGHT GALLERY (theme and episodes), THE SIX MILLION DOLLAR MAN (original TV-movie), A COLD NIGHT’S DEATH, THE QUESTOR TAPES, KOLCHAK: THE NIGHT STALKER, STARSHIP INVASIONS, WORLD WAR III, and many others.  Mellé’s efforts preceded almost everyone else’s experiments in electronic film music and resulted in the first true electronic film score.

Dragon’s Domain Records presents THE GIL MELLÉ COLLECTION – VOL. 2, featuring the world premiere releases of music composed by Gil Mellé for THE LAST CHASE and James Michener’s DYNASTY. This release includes liner notes written by G.B. Kenmir and the music has been mastered by James Nelson at Digital Outland.

THE GIL MELLÉ COLLECTION – VOL. 2 is a limited edition release. THE GIL MELLÉ COLLECTION – VOL. 2 is expected to begin shipping the week of July 23 2025.

[Lars Potreck]

The Patriot ist ein cooler Score mit einem ausgezeichneten Hauptthema. Wertet den Film durchaus auf und passt zu den schönen Landschaftsaufnahmen. Habe schon lange auf eine Veröffentlichung gehofft. 

[Stese]

DDR wird momentan immer besser an interessanten Titeln und der Menge an Publikationen. 
Ist irgendwie mein „zweites Quartet Records“ geworden.

The Patriot und Table for Five wandern in die Sammlung. Bei der Gil Melle Collection muss ich mal schauen.

[Lars Potreck]

Vielleicht kommen hier ja dann noch irgendwann die Scores zu Seagals Filmen Glimmer Man und Fire Down Below. Aber auch einige seiner Dtv Produktionen hatten einige nette Scores.
