Limited Edition of 3000 Units

La-La Land Records, Paramount Pictures and Geffen Records present an expanded and remastered 2-CD re-issue of renowned composer Basil Poledouris’ (CONAN THE BARBARIAN, ROBOCOP, STARSHIP TROOPERS) original motion picture score to the blockbuster 1990 Paramount Pictures espionage drama/thriller THE HUNT FOR RED OCTOBER, Based on Tom Clancy’s debut novel, the film stars Sean Connery, Alec Baldwin and James Earl Jones, and was directed by John McTiernan.

Considered to be one of composer Basil Poledouris’ finest musical achievements, his iconic THE HUNT FOR RED OCTOBER masterwork is also heralded by many as among the very best film scores of the 1990s. A powerful orchestral and choral classic that is rousing, thrilling and even romantic, Poledouris also employs a keen grasp of contemporary electronics, resulting in the perfect blend for the film’s mix of Old-World duty, honor and patriotism with modern technological warfare. Expanded, re-mixed and remastered, this deluxe presentation unleashes the composer’s marvel like never before, in all its brilliance and in celebration of the film’s 35th anniversary!

Produced by Dan Goldwasser and Neil S Bulk, this Limited Edition re-issue of 3000 units offers the score presentation on Disc 1, while disc 2 features the original 1990 soundtrack album and additional cues. While previous soundtrack releases, including the original 1990 soundtrack album, have been sourced from analog mixes and tapes, this limited edition 35th anniversary release has been newly remixed digitally and mastered by Chris Malone from the scoring masters. With access to these reels, additional bonus tracks were discovered that were never copied over to analog tape. The exclusive, in-depth liner notes are by author Jeff Bond and the sharp art direction is by Dan Goldwasser.

Der Soundtrack interessiert mich sehr. Ich habe zwar die Intrada, aber auch hier hat LLL wohl noch einiges zusätzliches Material dazugepackt. Wird bestimmt interessant, das zu hören.

[TempeltonPeck]

Ich hab jetzt nur grob verglichen. Vom Score scheint nichts neues dabei zu sein. Die Titel sind nur etwas anders auf geteilt. Neu sind einige Alternates und das original Soundtrack Album.

[Trekfan]

Interessante zurückhaltende Wortwahl im Pressetext "While previous soundtrack releases, including the original 1990 soundtrack album, have been sourced from analog mixes and tapes, this limited edition 35th anniversary release has been newly remixed digitally and mastered by Chris Malone from the scoring masters."

Also keine supiduper Multitracks in "pristine condition", nur "mastered from the scoring masters". Aber ich bin eigentlich mit der alten Intrada CD zufrieden, man kann nicht alles neu kaufen. Unterm Strich aber sicher ein Score, der es auch wegen seiner Popularität verdient hat, wieder zugänglich gemacht zu werden.

[magnum-p.i.]

Mmmhh... danke für die Infos. Würde die Neuveröffentlichung unter normalen Umständen wohl ignorieren, aber der Film und Soundtrack gehören zu meinen cineastischen Favoriten und deshalb werde ich den Soundtrack nun zum dritten Mal kaufen. Kendall schrieb damals für die Intrada-Ausgabe, daß 1/4" two-track Tapes verwendet worden sind. Ich denke, daß LLL mit den gleichen Quellen arbeiten mußte.
