If it is a Black Friday title, I'd better put some money aside. I've already got two big purchases this month (not related to soundtracks).

Restless-Web.jpgLa-La Land Records and Sony Pictures Entertainment present the original motion picture score to the 2011 feature film drama restless, starring Mia Wasikowska and Henry Hopper and directed by Gus Van Sant. Renowned composer Danny Elfman (EDWARD SCISSORHANDS, BATMAN, SOMMERSBY, BLACK BEAUTY) crafts another notable original score – a delicate, but stirring work, in the vein of his music for MILK and SILVER LININGS PLAYBOOK, that expertly finds the heart and soul of Van Sant’s delightfully offbeat romantic drama. Produced by Danny Elfman and mastered by Patricia Sullivan at Bernie Grundman mastering, this special release is limited to 2000 units and includes exclusive, in-depth liner notes from film music writer Tim Greiving which feature comments from director Gus Van Sant. The attractive art direction is by Dan Goldwasser.

daysofthunder-Web.jpgLa-La Land Records and Paramount Pictures present the world premiere release of acclaimed composer Hans Zimmer’s (BLACK RAIN, THELMA & LOUISE, THE DARK KNIGHT, MAN OF STEEL) full-throttle original score to the 1990 racing drama feature DAYS OF THUNDER, starring Tom Cruise, Nicole Kidman and Robert Duvall, and directed by Tony Scott. After waiting decades, film music enthusiasts have finally been rewarded with a worthy release of this Zimmer classic. Clocking in at over 70 minutes, this CD absolutely roars with the kind of blistering dramatic action scoring that vividly demonstrates how Zimmer became one of filmdom’s most important contemporary composers.

Produced by Dan Goldwasser and mastered by Doug Schwartz, this special limited release of 3000 Units was supervised by the film’s producer, Jerry Bruckheimer and star Tom Cruise.

With the rejected Jerry-Goldsmith-score on Disc 2!

Never seen the film or heard the score. Any good?

The score is wacky because it's a hybrid of synthesizer prog rock with classical influences and Gregorian chants. It's dated the movie terribly, similar to The Princess Bride or Legend. The film is OK, I guess.

What your phone doesn't have a web browser for you to google? :P

Most places of employment do not allow cell phone usage while working. My job goes even further and doesn't let you carry one in the building. If you get caught on camera it's final warning then you're out.

Happy New Year!

I hope everyone had a happy and safe holiday season. 2013 was another great year here at the triple L. A lot of dream projects were finally realized for us. 2014 promises to be as exciting as ever with a plethora of amazing projects from the Golden Age to the Digital Age. We will be covering exciting releases from the worlds of film, television, animation and video games… scores by some of our favorite composers as well as some by composers new to the label.

Speaking of which, let’s kick off the 2014 with not one but TWO releases by composers new to the La-La Land Catalog:

FANTASTIC VOYAGE

MUSIC BY LEONARD ROSENMAN

LLLCD 1279

LIMITED EDITION OF 2000 UNITS

RETAIL PRICE $19.98

PRODUCED BY LUKAS KENDALL AND NICK REDMAN

MASTERED BY DANIEL HERSCH at D2 MASTERING

REVISED MASTER PREPARATION BY MIKE MATESSINO

LINER NOTES BY JULIE KIRGO

ART DIRECTION BY JIM TITUS

20th Century Fox and La-La Land Records are proud to announce a new release of a true sci fi classic – FANTASTIC VOYAGE by Leonard Rosenman. Long out of print, this highly sought after masterpiece is now BACK IN PRINT looking and sounding better than ever (PLEASE NOTE: No new tracks have been added). Mike Matessino lovingly restored this release using today’s technology improving upon the original FSM release that came out 15 years ago. New liner notes by Julie Kirgo take the listener deep inside the score and film. Jim Titus’ art direction is second to none -- laying out one of his finest packages to date. Clever and classy, it truly lives up to its FANTASTIC title!

Our next new release for 2014 comes to you courtesy of yet another composer making his first appearance in our catalog:

DEAD AGAIN

MUSIC BY PATRICK DOYLE

LLLCD 1284

LIMITED EDITION OF 2000 UNITS

RETAIL PRICE $19.98

PRODUCED BY DAN GOLDWASSER

MASTERED BY DOUG SCHWARTZ at MULHOLLAND MUSIC

LINER NOTES BY BRIAN SATTERWHITE

ART DIRECTION BY DAN GOLDWASSER

Paramount Pictures and La-La Land Records are happy to announce the expanded and newly remastered score to Patrick Doyle’s masterpiece DEAD AGAIN. Clocking in at over 78 minutes, tons of material has been added to this lush and bombastic score. Full of melody and intrigue, composer Doyle takes the listener deep inside the psyche of Kenneth Branagh’s intense film and helps them navigate through the twist and turns of this reincarnation Hitchcockian thriller. Film composer/score historian Brain Satterwhite examines this twisted film noir exploring the film, its inspiration and Doyle’s intricate score. Dan Goldwasser’s art direction rounds out this gothic thriller’s package. One of our favorite scores of the 1990’s finally gets to be heard in all it’s glory (even featuring music cut from the final film)!

Both scores go on sale TUESDAY, JANUARY 14, 2014 at 12 pm pst at www.lalalandrecords.com and at other fine online soundtrack retailers

See y’all next week!

10. WYATT EARP
9. DAYS OF THUNDER
8. THE MATRIX RELOADED
7. LETHAL WEAPON BOX SET
6. THE FURY
5. SUPERMAN RETURNS
4. CAPRICA THE SERIES
3. THE X-FILES VOLUME 2

and the #1 selling soundtrack on our website for 2013 was...

Fascinating to see the top 4 best sellers were tv show soundtracks. Congrats to Bear for being KING of La-La Land! :)

I am REALLY surprised that Rosewood is not among the top 10 best selling releases they had this year - and that The Fury outsold it (seemingly be a pretty decent amount).

I hope this does not hurt the chances of some of JW's other smaller scores getting expanded.

The Fury had an OOP OST and expansion that went for tremendous amounts of money on the secondary market. That helps with sales a lot.

Not to mention it being a friggin' awesome score. ;)

Very cool to see that. I've got 8, 5 and 2.

I have entries 8, 5, 4 and 1.

You don't have the DS9 (#2 spot) set??? :o

I have to budget myself somewhat, and the DS9 scores are not a high priority for me.

My interests for Trek music are chiefly TOS and the movies.

I greatly enjoy DS9 as a seres, but the music is not as interesting to me personally.

This is not a quality assessment, but one of personal taste musically.

2 minutes to go until the first 2014 batch of LLL titles are up for sale. Meanwhile, I wanted to point out this:

LOW QTY ALERT
LESS THAN 20 COPIES REMAIN OF UNCHARTED 3!
Once it's gone it's gone for good from La-La Land Records!

It's hard to compare to other composers, but it definitely has a familiar sound. Possibly similar to McCreary but less pulsing rhythms and synth. Very big and orchestral and thematic. Lots of ethnic flavors. Not sure if there are samples but check it out.
