36 minutes into the new day.

Where's your "Hook" now???



MUWAHAHAHAHAHA!!!

[John Crichton]

I see people are still obsessing way too much over when/if Hook will be released. Patience, we'll get it eventually.

What recent posts qualify as over obsession? It all seems like perfectly reasonable speculation to me.

[Nemesis]

I am prepared. When the announcing of Hook is coming another journey is going to an end.
I just hope they release that damn thing complete and with alternates. At least 3 CD's.
Wonder too what posts qualify as over obsession?

[indy4]

I hope they release the songs recorded for the musical.

[Score_Fan]

When's the next LLLR album out anyways? I forgot..

[indy4]

Feb 28...I believe the next 3 are announced then.

[Score_Fan]

Ahh, thank ya! :]

[Incanus]

I hope they release the songs recorded for the musical.

Were there any recorded before Spielberg scrapped the whole idea of the musical? I always thought that only the melodies of some of the songs survived as themes in the score if not counting We Don't Wanna Grow Up and When You're Alone, only songs making it into the film.

[Score_Fan]

Don't forget pick em up!

I'm not sure. For some reason I recall reading (somewhat recently) that Williams had written 10 songs, and perhaps he had even recorded some. But I'm not sure about the second part. Still, if it is indeed LLL's 200th release, maybe MV would go all out and hire an orchestra and some singers to record the songs? If Robert Townson can hire multiple composers and an orchestra tor his 1000th release, maybe it's not entirely ridiculous to think MV would do something slightly less demanding for his 200th?

[Koray Savas]

Alas, I think MV stated that nothing special was planned for #200, that it was just another release in the catalog.

[Incanus]

Awwww I was waiting for a nice barber shop quartet rendition of We Don't Wanna Grow Up and Pick 'em Up!


And btw I would be bloody well happy and content with 2 disc Hook if they would by some miracle be able to release it soon-ish. 30 min. of alternate material after 2 hour score would be just ok.

[BloodBoal]

I hope they release the songs recorded for the musical.

Actually, there were quite a lot. Among them, there were Hook Me Up, Nearer My God To Smee, El Tango de Rufio, My Hook Will Go On and Tinker Bell, Tinker All The Way.

[Incanus]

Oh you are forgetting the classics like Crock Around the Clock, Born in the Neverland, I Smee You and sure-fire hit The Hook of Love.
"The Hook of Love is in your eyes..."

[ManofDestiny]

"Once upon a time in Neverland"......,"Rise of the Neverland of the Hook"......"As Hook goes By" and the truly classic one "I will always Hook You", perform by Whitney Houston.

[BloodBoal]

Oh you are forgetting the classics like Crock Around the Clock

Ah, yes, Crock Around The Clock is a great song!

Crock Around The Clock
Can you tell me what time is it?
Crock Around The Clock
Can you feel the ticking deep inside me?

Some say a watch is worth more than chandeliers
But I say if I want to know what time it is,
I'll ask my friend the Crock
Crock Around The Clock

Crock Around The Clock
Can you tell me what time is it?
Crock Around The Clock
Can you feel the ticking deep inside me?

One day you ate that clock
Since then time doesn't mean much to you
But how could I forget you?
You've got a clock inside you!

Crock Around The Clock
Can you tell me what time is it?
Crock Around The Clock
Can you feel the ticking deep inside me?

One day you asked: "Is time immortal?"
I told you "I don't know, can time die?"
You answered: "Kill it, we should try."
We laughed out loud and ate some pie!

Crock Around The Clock
Can you tell me what time is it?
Crock Around The Clock
Can you feel the ticking deep inside me?

One day maybe you'll die
And then all ticking wil stop
But you'll live deep inside me
As long as wet is the sea

Crock Around The Clock
Can you tell me what time is it?
Crock Around The Clock
Can you feel the ticking deep inside me?
Crock Around The Clock
It is my song for you
The Crock Around The Clock
Hero Of Time and Protector of Chalk
Crock Around The Clock
Can you feel the ticking deep inside me?
It is my heart beating for you...

A true classic

"I will always Hook You", perform by Whitney Houston.

Actually, this one was never recorded. There was a clash between Houston and Williams regarding the orchestration of the song. And Houston also wanted to remove one Boom-tzz. Big mistake. You never ask Williams to remove a Boom-tzz.

La-La Land Records and 20th Century Fox presents the remastered and expanded release of renowned composer Maurice Jarre’s (LAWRENCE OF ARABIA, THE PROFESSIONALS, WITNESS, ENEMY MINE) sumptuously romantic score to 20th Century Fox’s 1995 post WWII-era drama A WALK IN THE CLOUDS, starring Keanu Reeves and Anthony Quinn and directed by Alfonso Arau. Composer Jarre’s lush and heartwarming orchestral score, full of sweeping and colorful themes, perfectly compliments cinematographer Emmanuel Lubezki’s breathtaking imagery, while also harnessing the film’s deeply felt emotions and romantic plot, set against a post WWII Napa Valley vineyard. At 72 minutes, this expanded release nearly doubles the length of this score’s previous soundtrack releases. Produced by Nick Redman and Mike Matessino and mixed and mastered by Mike Matessino, this special limited edition release of 2000 units includes alternate cues and source music and also features exclusive liner notes by film music writer Julie Kirgo.

[Score_Fan]

La-La Land Records is very excited about our next 3 releases. These titles will go ON SALE TUESDAY February 28 at 1 pm PST atwww.lalalandrecords.com and at other fine online soundtrack stores.

First up:


THE MECHANIC
MUSIC BY JERRY FIELDING
LLLCD 1191
LIMITED EDITION OF 1200 UNITS
RETAIL PRICE: $19.98

PRODUCED BY FORD A. THAXTON
MASTERED BY JAMES NELSON AT DIGITAL OUTLAND
LINER NOTES BY RANDALL D. LARSON
ART DIRECTION BY MARK BANNING

La-La Land Records and MGM are very excited to announce the reissue of Jerry Fielding’s classic action score to THE MECHANIC. Previously released by Intrada, this new version features some minor digital enhancements courtesy of James Nelson as well as a slightly different listening order of tracks (in other words, if you have the Intrada release keep it and let those that do not have it pick this version up). New artwork by Mark Banning and liner notes by Randall D. Larson are a highlight!

JENNIFER 8 – 2 CD SET
MUSIC BY CHRISTOPHER YOUNG AND MAURICE JARRE
LLLCD 1198
LIMITED EDITION OF 2000 UNITS
RETAIL PRICE: $24.98

PRODUCED BY DAN GOLDWASSER
MASTERED BY MIKE MATESSINO
LINER NOTES BY JEFF BOND
ART DIRECTION BY DAN 8

We decided to skip parts 1-7 and just release Christopher Young’s breakthrough score to the Paramount Picture thriller JENNIFER 8 instead.

This is the score that really put Mr. Young on the map in terms of big studio pics. However, it almost did not happen. Before Mr. Young was brought on board, Maurice Jarre was hired to score the film. He scored about 75% of the movie before his score was tossed and replaced by Christopher Young’s haunting and thrilling music.

This is a very unique release – Mr. Young wanted to “revisit” his career making score and has culled together a great album of his best music featured in the film. Clocking in around 48 minutes this brooding and elegant score will make the hair on the back of your neck stand up while you sit in awe and listen to how beautiful the melodies play out. If you had the previous MILAN release and loved it, you will be even more impressed by this longer and more complicated version.

Disc 2 features everything Maurice Jarre recorded for the film – about 40 minutes of music, a collection of orchestral and synth music very much in the style of his works for GHOST and WITNESS.

This 2 disc set is a fascinating look inside two very different film scores to the same film. Liner note author Jeff Bond interviews writer/director Bruce Robinson about the two scores and gets insightful comments from composer Christopher Young. Dan Goldwasser’s art direction tops it all off.


Pop Quiz, hotshot – what 1990’s action score launched the career of composer Mark Mancina, is newly remastered and expanded and is La-La Land Records 200th release?

SPEED
LLLCD 1200
MUSIC BY MARK MANCINA
LIMITED EDITION OF 3000 UNITS
RETAIL PRICE: $19.98

PRODUCED BY NICK REDMAN AND MIKE MATESSINO
DIGITALLY EDITED AND MASTERED BY MIKE MATESSINO
LINER NOTES BY JOHN TAKIS
ART DIRECTION BY MARK BANNING

This action blockbuster NOT ONLY launched the careers of stars Keanu Reeves and Sandra Bollock, as well as director Jan De Bont, but it also catapulted composer Mark Mancina into the “A” list category of film composers.

Composer Mancina crafts a brilliant, pulse pounding action score that became the template for all action films since 1994. Previously released on Fox Records, this newly remastered and expanded version features 70 minutes of balls to the wall, speaker bursting, adrenaline-inducing film music that should be outlawed in all moving vehicles. Producers Nick Redman and Mike Matessino ramp up the excitement and put this bad boy into overdrive by putting the score back in film order. John Takis takes the listener behind the scenes of the film and the score while art director Mark Banning makes it all look good.

We always try to add a little something extra for the fans of the film, and in this case we went ahead and licensed the end credit song SPEED by Billy Idol and included it at the end of this release. . .it had to be there.

See y’all next Tuesday, February 28, 2012 at 1 pm pst when these 3 titles go on sale!

[Miles Prower]

It ain't Hook.

Fixed.

[KK.]

Well thats disappointing...

[Miles Prower]

That's a bold statement to make.

[indy4]

Wow, that's really disappointing. I wish MV would just let us know if Hook's in the works or not. An avalanche of Hook clues right before the 200th release is nothing short of obnoxious, as far as I'm concerned.

PS: what's up with the bolding?

[KK.]

Well said indy. Well look at that, aren't we all making bold statements today

[Miles Prower]

I dunno about you, but I'm feeling particularly emboldened.

Nothing more from you guys? Must have been bold over by my witty remarks.

[KK.]

Clearly its a sign, symbolizing our reaction with this disappointing release. Our boldness speaks louder than our words...

[BloodBoal]

Wow. When Hook is finally going to get released, it's going to be SO anticlimatic. Like "Hey, who gives a shit?"

And no, I'm not feeling bold this morning

[KK.]

Is this the final predicted La La Land release we were looking out for? If so...wow this sucks....

[Incanus]

Well no matter. Patience is a virtue. Or so they say.

BUT BOY THIS SUCKS! GIVE US THE HOOK YOU BARMY SPECIALTY LABELS! GIVE US THE HOOK!

It looks like today everything is bold indeed. A bold new world.

[Maglorfin]

Wow, Mikko, it's disturbing to see you lose your nerve like this!

Don't worry, lads, Hook'll get released eventually and when it does, it'll be limited to 1000 copies which'll sell out in about 16 minutes, after whichever-label-puts-it-out's servers will have crashed about 10 times first!

And now for something completely different: being a big fan of the series, I very much want a boxset (or three ) of music from as many MacGyver episodes as possible (kind of like LLL did for e.g. The X-Files). Do you think there's any possibility for that?

[Incanus]

Nah. I was kidding. I would be happy if label people would if only to allay frustration tell us if Hook is in the works. But knowing us they most likely refrain from doing that since it would cause as much ruckus as not annoucing it and just hinting at it.

[Maglorfin]

Um, what's that bold font thing? My post above wasn't in bold originally. What's all this?!

[Incanus]

Um, what's that bold font thing? My post above wasn't in bold originally. What's all this?!

I have no idea. I guess there is something wrong with the thread itself. Every message comes out normal first but when you refresh the thread it turns bolded.

[ManofDestiny]

It's Hook. Because they are not releasing Hook this time. Things will be back to normal until Hook is released.

[Incanus]

[publicist]

They release like 50 titels in the next months, i guess HOOK is the one where he said he couldn't keep the release date.

[Jason LeBlanc]

Oh my - I can't explain the bold thing! I thought maybe somebody had HTML on in their post and left and open B tag but that isn't it

I might have to close this thread and open up a part 3...

EDIT: Looks like its fixed!

EDIT 2: And now its not!

EDIT 3: Closing this thread. Part 2 here.
