Paul Sawtell/Bert Shefter's Los Marcados
28-Nov-2023 - Kronos Records present for the first time on any format, Los MarcadosThe beautiful, action packed soundtrack was composed and conducted by the dynamic duo of composers of both the Golden and Silver Age Paul Sawtell and Bert Shefter. Los Marcados is undoubtedly one of the duo´s finest and also one of their very last unfortunately since Paul Sawtell passed away the same year the film was released. Los Marcados is a very unorthodox Western score, full of very innovative orchestrations that with all the elements make up for a driving and dynamic yet also pretty melodic piecce of work that is not just as an excellent accompaniament for the motion picture and beautiful soundtrack but also as a standalone composition! Kronos Records is proud to present this soundtrack in its entirety and film order and for the first time ever in any format!  For more info and ordering, visit Kronos Records.

The 1960s and ’70s boasted an unmistakable flair for memorable tunes, great thematic variations and scores that could work exceptionally well on an album, away from their respective films.

After a heist has gone wrong, the pack agree to become model citizens - or at least try to. The score was composed by Daniel Pemberton who is known for composing the score to Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse (2018) and its sequel Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse (2023). He has also composed the soundtrack for King Arthur: Legend of the Sword (2017) and The Man From U.N.C.L.E. (2015).

Ennio Morricone's Le Secret
19-Jul-2023 - Quartet Records, in collaboration with GDM and EMI General Music, presents a completely revised and remastered edition of Ennio Morricone’s classic score, Le Secret for the 1974 French polar directed by Robert Enrico and starring Jean-Louis Trintignant, Marlène Jobert and Philippe Noiret. Ennio Morricone composed a fascinating score, and one of its most beautiful and heartbreaking themes ("Dal Mare") features the wonderful voice of Edda Dell'Orso. The main theme, a melancholic melody suspended over the overlay of the sound of a drop of water and a harp chord, was an innovative idea and a trademark of Morricone in his prolific run of ’70s political thrillers.

Alberto Iglesias' Extraña Forma De Vida
27-May-2023 - Quartet Records, in collaboration with El Deseo, presents the soundtrack of director Pedro Almodóvar and composer Alberto Iglesias for Sextraña Forma De Vida. It is a beautifully crafted 38-minute western, a short film produced by Yves Saint Laurent which has just premiered at the Cannes Film Festival to huge critical and audience acclaim. In Almodóvar’s own words, it’s his personal reckoning with BROKEBACK MOUNTAINAlberto Iglesias has composed a memorable, nostalgic and crepuscular symphonic score for orchestra and male choir - music that shows the fatalistic nature of the story and its impossible love.Although it’s a short piece—barely 20 minutes long—this score is of such quality and importance that we believe it should be digitally released, in a strictly limited CD edition of 500 units. For more info and ordering, visit Quartet Records.
Ken Thorne's Hannie Caulder
26-May-2023 - Quartet Records, in collaboration with Paramount Pictures, presents the premiere release of the Ken Thorne dynamic western score for the Rachel Welch movie Hannie Caulder (1971). The score composed by Ken Thorne complements the film’s wide variety of influences, from the rugged sounds of the Southern setting to evocative montages of Hannie’s development and fierce action cues for the various raids. With a handful of brutally dissonant passages as well as comedic cues thrown in, HANNIE CAULDER is a colorful, Coplandesque offering that will surely enchant all fans of the genre. This premiere CD includes the complete score—almost entirely in expansive stereo—restored and mastered by Chris Malone from pristine master tapes vaulted at Paramount. For more info and ordering, visit Quartet Records.
Elmer Bernstein's Rat Race
12-May-2023 - La-La Land Records and Paramount Pictures present the world premiere release of legendary composer Elmer Bernstein’s original unused score to the raucous 2001 big-screen comedy Rat RaceHaving scored such legendary comedies as AIRPLANE!, ANIMAL HOUSE, GHOSTBUSTERS, STRIPES as well as many others, it’s no accident that Maestro Bernstein was initially the composer of choice for this madcap ensemble comedy in the vein of IT’S A MAD, MAD, MAD, MAD WORLD. Now for the first time, and with the blessing of the composer’s family, Bernstein’s take on the film is here for us all to enjoy and it’s an orchestral comic delight. The composer’s approach is as off-the-wall as it is classical – an impressively energetic and complex work of comedic scoring. For more info and ordering, visit La-La Land Records. 
Piero Umiliani's Due Ragazzi Da Marciapiede
17-Apr-2023 - Quartet Records, in collaboration with Beat Records and Liuto Edizioni Musicali, presents the world premiere release of the catchy, infectious score by Piero Umiliani for the successful Spanish-Italian comedy No Deseriás Al Vecino Del 5° (aka Due Ragazzi Da Marcipiede)directed by Ramón Fernández. Piero Umiliani provided a memorable comedy score, with a theme typical of the composer (Oh che bella festa!) subjected to several variations, flirting with bossa nova, beat, swing, soft jazz and samba. Both the climate of extreme sensuality and the conflicts generated by the various misunderstandings of the film found a good ally in Umiliani’s score. The complete score has been made possible thanks to the cooperation of the Umiliani family who found the original tapes—mislabeled with the wrong title—with  the complete score in mint condition and beautiful stereo. Mastered by Chris Malone and supervised by Claudio Fuiano, the package included a 12-page booklet with liner notes by Spanish cinema specialist and documentarist Juan Sánchez. For more info and ordering, visit Quartet Records.
Morton Stevens' The Manions Of America

Richly evocative of Irish and early Americana flavors, the music evokes both period and the elegant poignancy of drama, romance, and character.

For more info and ordering, visit Quartet Records.
Klaus Badelt's The Time Machine
4-Mar-2023 - Varèse Sarabande has released The Time Machine, the first solo score by Klaus Badelt, then working for Hans Zimmer, but soon to have a prominent career of his own: Pirates Of The Carribean: The Curse Of The Black Pearl, Constantine, The Promise, Poseidon and many more. Badelt wrote a sweeping, magnificent, fan-favorite score for The Time Machine. The music is acoustic and symphonic, befitting the aesthetics of the 19th century protagonist, and the grand, romantic adventure he takes across time. The orchestra is embellished with tribal music for Earth’s future denizens, and aggressive, modernist stylings for the terrifying Morlocks—all of it beautifully produced for a modern blockbuster. This Deluxe Edition expands the album to 23 tracks and 76 minutes. For more info and ordering, visit Varèse Sarabande.
Kevin Kiner's Black Scorpion
2-Mar-2023 - Dragon’s Domain Records presents the original soundtrack to Black Scorpion, featuring music composed by Kevin Kiner for the 1995 action film. Produced by Roger Corman, BLACK SCORPION was a 1995 Showtime film, starring Joan Severance as police detective Darcy Walker, secretly known to a small few as the Black Scorpion. After her father is murdered before her eyes, detective Darcy becomes the vigilante Black Scorpion to avenge him. Kiner’s score was primarily synths, but he did manage to include a handful of live players. The film is scored in the manner of a standard detective thriller, with tense percussion and mostly synth elements, but once Darcy dons her black leather outfit and roars around the City of Angels in her Scorpionmobile, Kiner reprises his action vibe with strings, winds, and heavy percussion.
