We are very excited to announce our first GOLDEN AGE title to come down the chute in quite some time (THE BIG COUNTRY being the last major Golden Oldie we did). With the release of A Certain Smile, La-La Land will start to embark on a series of Classic film scores from all over the Golden Age of Hollywood. Names like Newman, Tiomkin, and Waxman (to name a few) will join La-La Land's ever growing family of great composers. This lavish 2 disc production is brought to you courtesy of 20th Century Fox and Sony Music in New York. Disc 1 features the expanded film score remastered from the original 1/2 tapes stored at Fox. Disc 2 is the LP master, remastered from the original 1/2 tapes stored in New York at Sony Music. The incomparable Julie Kirgo provides in depth notes on the score and the film itself. The gorgeous 20 page booklet has that "Titus Touch" that is sure to appeal to fans of this romantic score.
And, of course, the cherry on top is the title song sung by Johnny Mathis, never sounding so lush and vibrant.
We did not forget you fans of the 80's and 90's. Our other treat is brought to you courtesy of MGM Studios.
SPELLBINDER
Music by Basil Poledouris
LLLCD 1177
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
When it comes to unusual scores in Mr Poledouris' trunk of music, this one ranks right up there with the likes of Breakdown and No Man's Land. Spellinder is an experimental electronic score that uses mood and technique more than melody. Director Janet Greek and the film's score mixer, Tim Boyle, help guide liner note writer Randall D. Larson through this eeire tale of love, witchcraft and otherworldly music. Mark Banning provides atmospheric art direction.
It's Poledouris. It's a World Premiere. It's 1200 units. Need I write more? wink
See y'all back here next week, Tuesday August 16, 2011 at 1 pm PST when these two titles go live on our website and other fine online establishments.

I'm not really into the Poledouris, it doesn't sound like my style. I'm VERY excited for the Newman though (so glad it wasn't Mouth of Madness) though I think 2500 copies is a bit too much for it, probably contractual. The idea of them starting a Golden Age series is exciting too, I wonder what Waxman they're going to put out...

Jay · August 9, 2011

EDIT: Haha we posted MV's posting at the same time

So I get the clue now: It was Alred E Neuman from Mad Magazine with his smile circled, for Alred Newman's A Certain Smile. lol.

BTW theozman posted a larger version on his facebook page

Richard Penna · August 9, 2011

Hmm, so no Tom or David Newman then? Shame.

Happy for those into Alfred though

Rambo? -- A wimp! James Bond? -- A Sissy! Neo – HA, the only TRUE matrix in the world of Cinema is JOHN MATRIX, the one and only character Arnold Schwazenegger portrayed in the immortal 1985 classic COMMANDO!
20th Century Fox Films and La-La Land Records are proud to announce the RETURN of James Horner's action masterpiece COMMANDO – newly remastered and expanded (now running 61:48). This version of the soundtrack even includes PowerStation's Power Ballad "Someday, Somehow, Someone's Gotta Pay" (aka "WE FIGHT FOR LOVE") the song that runs during the end credits of the film.
Now you can own this great mid 80's action score and not have to pay those high eBay fees for the original Varese album.
Nothing says Reagan era Americana Bad-Assery like James Horner's steel drums and pulse pounding orchestrations!
Now sing it with me:
I will protect you
Nothing can hurt you
No storm clouds gathering terrify
I am a mountain
Surrounded by your love
You are a mountain that dreams are made of
We fight for love
We fight for love
Fight for love
Somewhere... somehow... someone
Somewhere... somehow... someone
I fight with fire
As I watch them conspire
To blow my world apart
Between the light
And the endless night
You will always be in my heart
We fight for love
We fight for love
Fight for love
We fight for love
Somewhere... somehow... someone
Somewhere... somehow... someone
See y'all next Tuesday at 1 pm pst.

I'm still waiting for Batman Forever...

Karol - who thinks of getting something else along with next weeks' 1941

Jay · September 20, 2011

Batman Forever could be in their next batch! Elliot Goldenthal's facebook said it was coming out in October...

tharpdevenport · September 20, 2011

So maybe that means "Space: Above and Beyond" will be out in October, too.

So, that leaves the rest of this year pretty much a mystery. Surprises ahead? Only the Shadow know...

Jay · September 20, 2011

They also have Fall Of The Roman Empire and Uncharted 3 coming up

tharpdevenport · September 20, 2011

Yeah, I know about U3, but there's been no word on when, if even this year (that I've seen) FotRE will drop.

That still leave about, depeding on how many release days are left, six to eight more CDs.

Demondm810 · September 20, 2011

Yay!!!! Can't wait to listen to this.

Is The Cape worth getting? I've checked McCreary website, there are no audio samples from that show, and there are only the opening credits on Youtube. Is there a place where you can listen to music from the show?

Not that I know of. You could download the episodes themselves

I also vaguely recall some talk about some good scoring, but too much blah and far too heavy on the percussion that made him a hit on nuBattlestar.

The Cape cover art, track list, and samples:

On September 27th, La La Land Records will release a 2-CD limited edition soundtrack of my fully orchestral score for The Cape. The first 150 orders through the label’s website will be signed! The sale begins next Tuesday at 1pm Pacific Standard Time. The autographed copies will go fast, so check early in the day.
A digital release is scheduled for later in the year.
This album represents my most grandiose and lyrical orchestral writing yet. The story presented me with a rare opportunity to explore sweeping superhero music, in the style of my favorite scores when I was growing up. There are whispers of Elfman’s Batman and Williams’ Superman in here, yes, but my biggest influence by far was Shirley Walker’s scores for Batman: The Animated Series. In fact, this CD is dedicated to her memory.
The Cape soundtrack sits comfortably alongside my Human Target album. In fact, I think if Human Target had continued down the same creative path in Season 2, and I remained on as composer, my score would have resembled this. The lessons I had learned by my final episode of Human Target were applied directly to the first episode of The Cape. Anyone disappointed that I never got to write more Human Target music will enjoy the hell out of this record.
The two CD set contains all of the stand-out musical moments from the series. There are also a number of bonus tracks that are exclusive to the CD version of the score. Some of them will surprise you!

Delorean90 · September 21, 2011

I'm still waiting for Batman Forever...
Karol - who thinks of getting something else along with next weeks' 1941

I've been thinking about that as well. I might finally snatch up Home Alone with that.

Matt C · September 22, 2011

I remember somebody talking about how aweful it was.

The first couple of episodes are the roughest patch to get through, and last four episodes are a big improvement. I liked the show overall, and the problems it had could've been dealt with if it had a second season.

how are the odds of 1941 being sold out in hours?

I will be able to get internet on 1AM PST wednesday the 29th.

will it be enough???

King Mark · September 27, 2011

It won't sell out in "hours" I think

#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal · September 27, 2011

Ok so that would mean it hits the streets at 22:00 PM in Most of Europe.

Manuel, this one might go fast.

4 PM Eastern Time US/Canada (right?)

Josh500 · September 27, 2011

Hmmm, okay can somebody sum it up please?

What are the hints so far that Hook is a likely score to be released in the next few months?

Right

Hmmm, okay can somebody sum it up please?
What are the hints so far that Hook is a likely score to be released in the next few months?

The only "hint" is that MV joked last year that 2010 wasn't the 20th anniversary of Hook (it was the 20th Anniversary of Home Alone).

In my interview with Mike Matessino he made a Hook reference and also mentioned that a new Williams release was coming soon, but MV posted on the FSM boards that Mike was NOT referring to Hook.

I still think it could be anything.

Jay · September 27, 2011

We all think that.

Koray Savas · September 27, 2011

Jay, you're losing it. MV hinted at Hook on at least two more occasions, without being instigated.

Also, why is it so hard to figure out time zones for you guys? It's the same every time!

#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal · September 27, 2011

It would be easier if labels released their titles according to GMT.

You, as a Britton, surprise me sir!

Jay · September 27, 2011

Jay, you're losing it. MV hinted at Hook on at least two more occasions, without being instigated.

Here is 100% of the times MV has mentioned anything Hook related:

November 26th, 2010:

Man with Star Trek 5 being released this has made my year. I was hoping too that sometime or another one of the labels would release Home Alone's complete score is a nice addition. I don't mind Hook not being with this batch, I guess it's a matter of time.
Remember, the 20th Anniversary of Home Alone comes before the 20th Anniversary of Hook.
MV

September 8th, 2011:

Oh man how I wish I could attend this! I should have moved to LA years ago....
If LLL does this for Hook, I might just buy a plane ticket
The Hook screening is gonna be - - - wait a second. You trying to trick me?
Why I oughtta. . .
MV

Which was immediately followed up with:

I take that was an anouncement of HOOK coming this year
No, it was just a joke.
MV

And of course yesterday's

Check out my interview with Matessino on www.jwfan.com, where he drops a hint at the end that a new Williams release is coming soon.
Fingers crossed he was referring to Hook.
He wasn't.
MV

I'm not saying LLL isn't working on Hook.... I'm just saying Matessino wasn't referring to it when he said a new Williams title was being announced soon.

Things get delayed all the time. Maybe when MV made that comment in November of last year he thought they could get Hook out by the end of this year, but now they can't.

Or maybe they aren't even working on it at all, and we are all reading too much into what MV says!

Jay · September 29, 2011

MV confirmed on FSM that they are indeed releasing Fall Of The Roman Empire, and its coming out early next year

Just to clear the air:
The Fall cd we currently have coming out will be limited to 2500 units and contains the original LP program remastered from the original tapes housed at Sony. Sadly, the complete score is nowhere to be found, but we did manage to put a few "bonus tracks" on this release. Notes are by Jeff Bond and art will be by Jim Titus. Its expected to be out 1st quarter 2012, as part of our countdown to our 200th release. It sounds awesome!
As a Tiomkin fan I cannot wait to get this new recording. I hear its magnificent. . .and complete! A must BUY!
