Jerry Goldsmiths' Islands In The Stream
18-Nov-2024 - Intrada Records presents a newly mastered and edited edition of the original soundtrack to the 1977 Paramount Pictures film Islands In The Stream. The score was of such personal importance to Jerry Goldsmith that he approached Intrada in 1986, just a year after it had been formed and a few months after the release of his latest score, Poltergeist II, to seek the label's interest in creating a new recording of the score in Hungary. Intrada jumped at the chance.The score is beautiful, deeply emotional and introspective, and at times simply thrilling. The brilliant recording has been in the catalog continuously since it was released in the late '80s.

Basil Poledouris' Robocop 3
15-Nov-2024 - Varèse Sarabande presents Basil Poledouris’ RoboCop 3: The Deluxe Editionavailable on vinyl for the first time as a 2-LP gatefold vinyl set. Director Paul Verhoeven’s original RoboCop film featured one of Basil Poledouris’ most iconic scores. In 1993, he was recruited to bring his signature sound back for RoboCop 3, which finds Detroit's cyborg crime-fighter hitting the streets to protect the innocent, this time from corporate greed. Laced with a sardonic sense of humor and packed with action scenes coming at a deliberate clip, RoboCop 3 is a campy sci-fi adventure, highlighted by Poledouris’ one-of-a-kind sonic touch.

Carter Burwell's Fear
16-Oct-2024 - Intrada announces the premiere release of a long-sought after Carter Burwell score: the 1996 Universal Pictures thriller Fear. The film is a psychological thriller centered on the intense and tumultuous relationship between a teenage girl, Nicole, and a charismatic but dangerous young man, David.The film opens with a sweeping flyover of Seattle and here Burwell introduces his main theme underscored by pounding taiko drums. The score is moody and unsettling, slowly insinuating itself into the drama behind the scenes much as David integrates himself (or tries to) into the family. Burwell credits a lot of the power of his Fear score to the orchestration and conducting of Shirley Walker. “It’s got a particular sound I think she takes a lot of responsibility for, like the way that the brass plays at the bottom end and the lushness of the strings,” he points out. For more info and ordering, visit Intrada Records.

The music was recorded by the Berlin Symphony Orchestra conducted by Strange himself. On this 80-minute CD, with the music from the 8″ multitrack preserved in mint condition in the MGM vaults, the ambitious and lavish score can be heard in all its glory.

Jerry Goldsmith's The Other
20-Sep-2024 - 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. 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.

Suspended moods between psychedelia and noir, with flute, electric guitars, Moog synthetizer and drums. Earlier RCA had released a 7-inch record with “Goodbye my friend”, performed by Susi & Guy, and “Drivin’ all around” by Guy.

Ennio Morricone's Una Pistola Per Ringo/Il Ritorno Di Ringo
17-May-2024 - Quartet Records, in collaboration with GDM and Universal Music Publishing Italia, presents a revised, remastered edition of two iconic western scores by Ennio Morricone for the classics Una Pistola Per Ringo and Il Ritorno Di RingoThis 2-CD deluxe edition brings together all the previously released material from both RINGO movies with programs that were originally put together for RCA and GDM Music. Disc 1 contains the stereo program of both RINGO movies, with the cues selected by Morricone for the original RCA release. Also included is the very rare 1965 album originally entitled “La Storia, I Dialoghi, Le Canzoni di Il Ritorno Di Ringo.” This soundtrack was a dialogue/music hybrid that featured Morricone’s music interspersed with newly recorded narration and even included sound effects to retell the whole story in about half an hour. This album also notably includes some short cues that can only be heard in that program. Also included is a clean take of “L’incontro con la figlia” Although originally composed for his rejected score for The Bible, and later used in The Secret Of The Sahara, Morricone also used this cue in Il Ritorno Di Ringo, and it even appeared on the 1965 dialog album. Disc 2 includes the first version released by GDM on CD in 2004 with cues once again selected by the composer, which was entirely in mono. It is interesting because some takes are different from the previous stereo version, as well as the fact that the program was expanded. For more info and ordering, visit Quartet Records.
