Intrada announces the premiere release of James Newton Howard's 1990 score to Columbia Pictures' Flatliners. It's a score that is one of the last major Howard scores to have never been released in any format. It's a massive work, composed for large orchestra and chorus. Befitting the hyperreal style of the film, the composer tackles big ideas like spirituality and religion head on, with a score as grand as the themes suggest. As Howard recalls, “Some memories I have were having a 90-piece orchestra for the first time to do whatever I wanted and bringing in all kinds of different electronics and sampled stuff, including a specific ‘monkey chant’ from Bali." It was also Howard's first time writing for large choir. For more info and ordering, visit Intrada Records.
