Released in 1977, THE HILLS HAVE EYES follows Big Bob Carter (Grieve), a retired detective, his wife Ethel (Vincent), their son, Bobby (Houston), daughters Lynne (Wallace) and Brenda (Lanier), Lynne’s husband, Doug (Speer) and their granddaughter as they travel together through the desert on their way to California. Stopping at an isolated gas station to refuel and rest, Fred, the owner (Steadman) advises Big Bob to stay on the main road. Being stubborn, Big Bob ignores his advice and takes a shortcut through a nuclear testing site. After wrecking the car, the family finds themselves stranded in the middle of nowhere. And they are not alone... Don Peake is a multi-talented musician who has worked as a guitarist, arranger, record producer, and film music composer. Starting his professional musical career as a guitarist in 1961, Peake's talent was recognized early when he toured as lead guitarist with the Everly Brothers at the age of 21, playing in the U.S. and Europe for two years. Peake returned to Los Angeles to establish himself as a recording musician, and played for many of the legendary performers under Phil Spector's production including The Righteous Brothers - "You've Lost That Loving Feeling," Ike and Tina Turner - "River Deep Mountain High," as well as recording with Mahalia Jackson, Billy Preston, Cannonball Adderly, Marvin Gaye, and Diana Ross. Peake became the first white guitarist to play with the Ray Charles Orchestra, touring with Charles, and recording with him for ten years. During that time, Peake studied guitar with Barney Kessel, Howard Roberts, and Joe Pass, three legendary guitarists. Peake became one of the premiere session guitarists in Los Angeles, recording for Jan and Dean, The Mamas and the Papas, Sonny and Cher, The Beach Boys, and many others. Don was inducted into an elite group of musicians led by drummer Hal Blaine known as "The Wrecking Crew." This amazing range of musical experience led Peake to composing music for film and commercials. He studied composition and orchestration extensively with Dr. Albert Harris, Academy Award winning composer Paul Glass, and conducting with Broadway's beloved Maestro Samuel Krachmalnick. His film scores include Wes Craven's cult classic WALK PROUD, MOVING VIOLATION, MODERN LOVE, and BREAKIN’, which earned him a Platinum Album. Don spent three and a half years scoring the popular Universal Television series KNIGHT RIDER. He also scored the American Playhouse production of THE MEETING, a film about the meeting between Martin Luther King and Malcolm X. Previously released on compact disc as a limited edition release by Hitchcock Records, Dragon’s Domain Records is excited to bring THE HILLS HAVE EYES back to the marketplace, with the music remastered by James Nelson at Digital Outland, reprising liner notes by the composer.

CLICK HERE TO GO TO PRODUCT PAGE THE GOLDEN AGE OF HORROR VOL. 3 SPECIAL NOTE: Digital Download will be sent out to. customers later this week. CD Includes Digital Download / Digital Booklet Dragon’s Domain Records proudly presents the third volume in a new ongoing series of music from classic horror films from the Golden Age, featuring two world premiere releases of music from THE GORGON and THE MANSTER. Released in 1964, was directed by Terence Fisher (CURSE OF FRANKENSTEIN, HORROR OF DRACULA, THE MUMMY), written by John Gilling and J. Llewellyn Devine, starring legendary actors Christopher Lee and Peter Cushing, along with Richard Pasco, Barbara Shelley, Michael Goodliffe, Patrick Troughton, Joseph O’Conor and Prudence Hyman. THE GORGON begins in 1910, in Vandorf, a seemingly idyllic German village which is harboring a horrific secret: Seven people have died after encountering a mysterious force that turns bodies into stone. When Bruno Heitz, a bohemian artist believed to have committed suicide by hanging himself is blamed for the murder of his pregnant girlfriend, his father challenges local officials who he suspects of conspiring to hide the truth. An esteemed academic, he sends for help from his good friend Professor Meister (Lee), who is tutoring his other son Paul (Pasco). That night, the elder Heitz is drawn to Borski Castle by a strange and haunting melody, sung by a shadowy figure who appears to have writhing snakes on her head instead of hair. Staggering back to his son’s studio, he desperately scribbles a note while slowly turning to stone... Paul arrives the following day to learn that his father has also passed away, allegedly from a heart attack. His questions are rebuffed by Dr. Namaroff (Cushing), a medical doctor who also runs the local asylum, though he does find a sympathetic ear in Carla (Shelley), who is Namaroff’s assistant. Later that night, Paul finds himself compelled to visit the castle. He merely gets a glimpse of a mysterious figure reflected in the garden pool before passing out and awakening five days later, only to learn that he has noticeably aged. Professor Meister arrives to help Paul who, after exhuming his father’s stone corpse, is determined to locate and kill the monster. Namaroff insists publicly that the killer is one of his escaped lunatics, but in private he confides to Carla what he truly believes, that the murderer is someone else, a person possessed by the spirit of one of the mythical Gorgon sisters who, when gazed upon, turn people to stone... Composer James Bernard was the man responsible for creating Hammer Studio’s unique sound, having begun scoring for the studio with THE QUATERMASS XPERIMENT. He had commenced his music studies later in life, after completing his service during the Second World War. Following his work on X THE UNKNOWN and QUATERMASS 2, Bernard scored Hammer’s first major horror film, THE CURSE OF FRANKENSTEIN. Each of these scores featured his trademark blend of harmonies and themes that often melodically spelled out the protagonists’ names. Unlike many composers, Bernard frequently orchestrated his own scores and THE GORGON represents one of his more romantic horror efforts, undoubtedly inspired by the film’s central female character. Released in 1959, THE MANSTER was directed by George P. Breakston and Kenneth G. Crane, written by William J. Sheldon and Breakston, starring Peter Dyneley, Jane Hylton, Tetsu Nakamura, Terri Zimmern, Norman Van Hawley, Jerry Itô, Toyoko Takechi, Kenzo Kuroki and Alan Tarlton. THE MANSTER tells the story of Larry Stanford (Dyneley), an international journalist based inTokyo. His latest assignment sends him to an isolated laboratory located near a volcanic mountain. His efforts to interview a reclusive scientist (Nakamura)yields what he perceives to be a new friendship, but in reality Stanford has been secretly injected with an experimental serum, becoming the latest guinea pig in a mad, genetic experiment... The doctor’s beautiful assistant (Zimmern) is tasked with seducing Stanford in an attempt to observe how the drug changes his personality. He soon becomes more aggressive, ignoring help from his friend and editor Ian (Van Hawley), who has also flown Larry’s wife (Hylton) in to help. Soon, the city of Tokyo finds itself in the grip of terror as several young women are brutally murdered, and a police inspector (Itô) suspects a link between Stanford and the killer. Unbeknownst to all, Larry has begun a physical transformation with the appearance of an eye on his right shoulder that grows into an animalistic head, later evolving into a second beastly body... The music for THE MANSTER was composed by Hirooki Ogawa. The composer was born in Tokyo, Japan. Among his most notable scores were for the GEKKÔ KAMEN and MOONLIGHT MASK television and theatrical series in the 1950s.Some of the films featuring his scoring work has been recently released in the U.S., including WATARI THE NINJA BOY (Daininjutsu eiga Watari) and NINJA SCOPE (Tobidasu Boken Eiga: Akakage). This third volume in Dragon’s Domain Records series of classic horror films has been mastered by James Nelson at Digital Outland, featuring exclusive liner notes by Starlog Magazine’s David Hirsch with Sam Scali on the music featured on the album. THE GOLDEN AGE OF HORROR VOL. 3 is a limited edition release and is expected to begin shipping the week of October 28th,2025.

To Hear Audio Samples and to go to the product page: https://tinyurl.com/2s384u8u BSX DIGITAL presents music composed by David Newman (THE PHANTOM, HOFFA, MR. DESTINY, GALAXY QUEST) from the original score to THE RUNESTONE, the 1991 horror comedy directed by Willard Carroll (PLAYING BY HEART, THE BRAVE LITTLE TOASTER, TOM’S MIDNIGHT GARDEN), written by Carroll and Mark E. Rogers, starring Peter Riegert, Joan Severance, William Hickey, Tim Ryan, Mitchell Laurance, Lawrence Tierney, Dawan Scott, Chris Young and Alexander Godunov. Based on an unpublished novella by Mark E. Rogers, THE RUNESTONE unfolds as the clocks in the shop of a mysterious clockmaker suddenly stop at three o’clock as a Norse runestone is removed from the depths of a coal mine in Western Pennsylvania. Archaeologist Martin Almquist (Laurance) oversees the runestone’s move to his New York City laboratory. Excited by his discovery, Martin calls his former girlfriend, Marla (Severance), an artist now married to Sam Stewart (Ryan) and asks them to return to New York so that Sam, also an archeologist who is working in Maine, can decipher the runestone. Meanwhile, Lars Hagstrom (Hickey) finds Martin and warns him about the runestone, but Martin believes Hagstrom is crazy. Sam and Marla believes this has some connection to Martin. A young boy named Jacob is haunted by terrifying nightmares of what is coming and his family explains these dreams through stories from Norse legend, which say that the only one who can destroy Fenrir is Tyr, the Norse god of war, who is prophesied to return to fight the creature... Conceived in 1990, the music for THE RUNESTONE was recorded at Columbia Studios, while an electronic musical score was also recorded at D & K Studios. Newman’s score is robust as it parallels the storyline, from tense strings and horns, percussive timbres, horns, and drums to strings to rushing horns and harsh string notes. Intricate keyboard tonalities, low up-and-down sonic whispers, percussive striations, and low percussion raging into heavy tonal contrasts, suspenseful drums, grappling tension segueing into eerie, soft, fast-trumpet notes, anticipating the composer’s amazing musical accomplishments in the next several decades of American cinema. David Newman is one of today’s most accomplished creators of music for film. The son of nine-time Oscar-winning composer Alfred Newman, David Newman was born in Los Angeles in 1954. He trained in violin and piano from an early age and earned degrees in orchestral conducting and violin from the University of Southern California. From 1977–1982, he worked extensively in the motion picture and television industry as a violinist, playing on such films as E.T., TWILIGHT ZONE – THE MOVIE, and the original Star Trek film, STAR TREK: THE MOTION PICTURE. In his 25-year career, he has scored over 100 films, ranging from WAR OF THE ROSES, MATILDA, BOWFINGER and HEATHERS, to THE SPIRIT, and SERENITY, BEHAVING BADLY and TARZAN. Newman’s music has brought to life the critically acclaimed dramas BROKEDOWN PALACE and HOFFA; comedies NORBIT, SCOOBY-DOO, GALAXY QUEST, THE NUTTY PROFESSOR, THE FLINTSTONES, THROW MAMA FROM THE TRAIN; and award- winning animated films ICE AGE, THE BRAVE LITTLE TOASTER and ANASTASIA. Newman is also a highly sought-after conductor and appears with leading orchestras throughout the world, including the Los Angeles Philharmonic, Royal Philharmonic Orchestra, The Boston Symphony, The Philadelphia Orchestra, The Chicago Symphony and the New York Philharmonic. He has led subscription weeks with the Los Angeles Philharmonic at Walt Disney Concert Hall and regularly conducts the Hollywood Bowl Orchestra at the Hollywood Bowl. Passionate about nurturing the next generation of musicians, Newman serves on the Board of the American Youth Symphony, a 55-year-old pre-professional orchestra based in Los Angeles. BSX Digital presents THE RUNESTONE, featuring music composed by David Newman. Previously released on compact disc by Perseverance Records in 2010, the music has been newly remastered by James Nelson at Digital Outland and includes new liner notes by noted author Randall Larson. This release is dedicated to the memory of Krystyna Newman.

This new 2CD set is available to order from Buysoundtrax and Dragon’s Domain Click here to Listen to Audio Samples and go to the Product Page CD Includes Digital Download - 24 Bit Wav, MP3, Digital Booklet Dragon’s Domain Records presents a new release of THE PIT & THE PENDULUM, to be distributed through Buysoundtrax.com. THE PIT & THE PENDULUM features music composed and conducted by Richard Band (RE-ANIMATOR, FROM BEYOND, GHOST WARRIOR, TROLL) for the 1991 version of the classic story written by Edgar Allan Poe, adapted by Dennis Paoli, directed by Stuart Gordon (RE-ANIMATOR) and starring Lance Henriksen. Stephen Lee, Rona De Ricci, Jonathan Fuller, William Norris, Mark Margolis, Frances Bay, Carolyn Purdy-Gordon, Jeffrey Combs and Oliver Reed. First published in 1842, Poe’s PENDULUM is a ghastly tale of torture and execution told by a forsaken narrator sentenced to death for heresy by the Spanish Inquisition. This adaptation follows a pair of young bakers drunk on love and brimming with marital bliss. While peddling loaves of bread in the town square, Maria (De Ricci) and Antonio (Fuller) are separated by an unruly mob while a battered woman is paraded into the square to be burned at the stake as a witch by the Spanish Inquisition. Maria and Antonio reunite only to be forced by church authorities to stand witness to the grotesque human barbecue unfolding before their eyes. The expression of Maria’s disgust and her pleas for Christian mercy at the feet of Grand Inquisitor Torquemada (Henriksen) convinces the over-zealous witch hunter to arrest, torture and prosecute Maria as a ward of Satan. THE PIT & THE PENDULUM was a continuation of the creative collaboration between director Stuart Gordon and Richard Band, which includes films such as RE-ANIMATOR, FROM BEYOND, CASTLE FREAK and episodes from the anthology series MASTERS OF HORROR. The one thing Gordon routinely offered Band was total creative independence. The director and composer would meet once or twice early in the scoring process so that Band could bounce initial ideas off his director; once those decisions were agreed upon, Gordon left his composer alone to do the job he was hired to do. As is the case with most low-cost films, the limited music budget guided Band’s compositional hand as much as its story elements. Calculated decisions were necessary to blend live orchestral and choir elements with supplemental electronic tracks to create the aural illusion of spending more on the score than was actually allocated. Richard Band was born in Los Angeles on December 28, 1953. He is the son of film producer-director-writer Albert Band (THE RED BADGE OF COURAGE – screen adaptation), brother to producer-distributor Charles Band and uncle to young rock star Alex Band of the rock group ‘The Calling’. Shortly after his brother Charles had formed his first movie company, Richard decided to take a break from music and began to work as an assistant director on some of his films. He then went from assistant director to production manager, to associate producer and finally producer on over 13 films. Richard has since gone on to score over 75 feature films and many television productions. Band has composed the music for more than 10 interactive computer/video games over the years and has had many soundtracks that have been released of his film works. He has also scored many documentaries including the award-winning series’ MOST DECORATED, BRUTE FORCE and WEAPONS OF WAR and has also contributed much music to other series’ like THE REAL WEST, CIVIL WAR JOURNALS and BIOGRAPHIES. His experience over the years has brought him to record over 22 film scores with internationally renowned orchestras such as THE ROYAL PHILHARMONIC ORCHESTRA, THE LONDON SYMPHONY and THE ROME PHILHARMONIC. He has also had his music recorded in Prague, Romania, Croatia and Munich. For this new presentation of Richard Band’s score for THE PIT & THE PENDULUM, the music is presented on two CDs, newly remixed from the master tapes courtesy of engineer Matt LaPoint, with liner notes written by author and composer Brian Satterwhite, with the participation of the composer. The first disc is a representation of Band’s complete score as featured in the movie. The second disc is a collection of various alternate tracks, most of them isolated synth tracks without their orchestral or choral counterparts. The inclusion of these rare isolated synth tracks gives the listener the most comprehensive plunge into one of Richard Band’s greatest and more gratifying film scores of his career. THE PIT & THE PENDULUM is a limited edition release of 500 units. THE PIT & THE PENDULUM is expected to begin shipping the week of November 7th, 2022. The first 50 copies ordered through the website will be autographed by the composer at no extra charge. CD 1 1. The Crypt / The Whipping Of The Corpse (2:26) 2.

CD includes Digital Download - 24 Bit Wav, MP3 and Digital PDF Dragon’s Domain Records, to be distributed through buysoundtrax.com, presents THE ALAN HOWARTH COLLECTION, VOLUME 2, featuring music composed and performed by Alan Howarth for several projects from his filmography presented here CD for the first time. This collection of rare and previously unreleased tracks composed by Alan Howarth kicks off with the score for ARCADE, directed by Albert Pyun and written by David S. Goyer. Released in 1993, ARCADE tells the story of a psychologically compromised suburban teen named Alex (Megan Ward) who discovers her mother has committed suicide. One day after a particularly troubling day at school, Alex and her friends dart off to Dante’s Inferno, a local video game hangout, where a new virtual reality game called “Arcade” is being test-marketed by Difford (John de Lancie) a tech company snake-oil salesman who rewards the curious teens with home console versions of the game. Unknown to the kids, those who dare play the game and lose are imprisoned inside the console by a digital human-hybrid villain named Arcade (Johnathan Fuller). Over time the game infiltrates and manipulates their minds. Ultimately, it’s left up to Alex and Nick (Peter Billingsley) to convince the game’s lead programmer to help them free their friends and end Arcade’s deadly reign of technological terror. In addition to Howarth’s score for ARCADE, THE ALAN HOWARTH COLLECTION, VOLUME 2 includes a block of odds and ends from other projects in his filmogragraphy. For THE BEASTMASTER, Howarth composed a piece of music that was meant for the trailer but ultimately went unused. For BATTLE BEYOND THE STARS, at the request of composer James Horner, Howarth composed a piece of source music for the scene that introduces Gelt, played by Robert Vaughn. MONSTERS was a weekly horror anthology series that typically featured a different monster antagonist each week, ranging from animatronic puppets from a fictional children’s TV show to weapon-wielding mutated lab rats. Some of the episodes blended comic elements into the horror and were adapted from stories written by noted horror authors including Stephen King. One episode entitled “Far Below” from Season Three was produced by Debra Hill who had previously produced HALLOWEEN, THE FOG, HALLOWEEN II, and ESCAPE FROM NEW YORK for John Carpenter. Debra contracted Alan to compose this kind of music for the half-hour episode. Finally, THE OSTERMAN WEEKEND was released in 1983 and was the last film directed by Sam Peckinpah, the film was largely scored by Lalo Schifrin. Howarth was brought in at the last minute to write some additional suspense music for the film. Alan Howarth, in addition to being a composer, is an accomplished sound designer and editor, having worked on films such as STAR TREK: THE MOTION PICTURE, POLTERGEIST, TOTAL RECALL, ARMY OF DARKNESS, BRAM STOKER’S DRACULA, STARGATE and many others. He has been a frequent music collaborator with John Carpenter on his films beginning with ESCAPE FROM NEW YORK in 1980 and including HALLOWEEN II & III, CHRISTINE, BIG TROUBLE IN LITTLE CHINA, THEY LIVE and PRINCE OF DARKNESS and Alan has scored many films on his own, including RETRIBUTION, HALLOWEEN 4 & 5, THE DENTIST, HEADLESS, BOO!, EVILUTION, BASEMENT JACK and most recently, HOUSE AT THE END OF THE DRIVE, BRUTAL and PROMISE. Dragon’s Domain Records presents THE ALAN HOWARTH COLLECTION, VOLUME 2, featuring music composed and performed by Alan Howarth.

CD includes Digital Download - 24 Bit Wav, MP3, Digital PDF Dragon’s Domain Records, to be distributed by BuySoundtrax, presents the original motion picture soundtrack for INSEMINOID, featuring music composed, arranged and performed by John Scott for the 1981 science fiction horror film directed by Norman J. Warren, written by Nick and Gloria Maley and starring Robin Clarke, Jennifer Ashley, Stephanie Beacham, Steven Grives, Barrie Houghton, Rosalind Lloyd, Victoria Tennant, Trevor Thomas, Heather Wright, David Baxt and Judy Geeson. INSEMINOID tells the story of a crew of interplanetary archaeologists who are threatened when an alien creature impregnates one of their members (Geeson), causing her to develop a psychosis and mutilate her colleagues one by one. INSEMINOID was directed by British filmmaker Norman J. Warren, known primarily for a series of late ‘70s-’80s horror films, including SATAN’S SLAVE, PREY, BLOODY NEW YEAR and the like and produced by Richard Gordon known for a variety of films but specializing in horror movies such as THE HAUNTED STRANGLER, FIEND WITHOUT A FACE, CORRIDORS OF BLOOD, and DEVIL DOLL. Warren shot the film during May and June 1980, with a £1 million budget, half of which was financed by Hong Kong’s Shaw Brothers (their first investment in a British film). To compose the film’s score, Warren brought in distinguished orchestral composer John Scott, who by 1981 had composed wide-ranging scores for some 86 films and television series, beginning with James Hill’s 1965 Sherlock Holmes mystery, A STUDY IN TERROR. Scott’s efforts in the genre have included films such as Freddie Francis’ TROG, the West German thriller MARK OF THE DEVIL PART II, Kevin Connor’s THE PEOPLE THAT TIME FORGOT, and the magnificent score for 1980’s time-travel film, THE FINAL COUNTDOWN (along with GREYSTOKE, KING KONG LIVES, THE WICKER TREE amongst the 70 scores subsequent to INSEMINOID). Warren and Scott had worked together previously on his film, SATAN’S SLAVE. When it came to their next collaboration, INSEMINOID, using even a small orchestra was beyond the budget; leaving electronics as the only viable means. In the process, Scott made use of synthesized rock-and-roll elements (low basso structures, electronic drums, and in particular a recurring, 8-note motif shared between electric guitar and synths, most notably in the main titles and end credits, mixed over a variegated abundance of synthetic substances. As the mixing of the electronic score took shape, enhanced by many hours of multi-tracking and overdubbing, Scott was aided in recording the score by the Pinewood Studios music mixer Otto Snel. For nearly sixty years, John Scott has established himself as one of the finest composers working in films today, having collaborated with the foremost producers and directors worldwide, including Richard Donner, Mark Damon, Hugh Hudson, Norman Jewison, Irvin Kershner, Daniel Petrie, Roger Spottiswoode and Charlton Heston, among others. He has been an essential voice in international scoring that thoroughly belies his occasional over-looked stature in the midst of 'brand name' composers. Frequently associated with Hollywood's finest composers, including Jerry Goldsmith, Elmer Bernstein and John Williams, John Scott has created a body of work that stands up as some of the finest music ever written for film. Dragon’s Domain Records, to be distributed by BuySoundtrax, presents the world premiere compact disc release of INSEMINOID, featuring music composed, arranged and performed by John Scott, mastered by James Nelson at Digital Outland.

Dragon’s Domain Records, to be distributed through buysoundtrax.com, presents THE CONRAD POPE COLLECTION, VOLUME 1 featuring music composed and conducted by Conrad Pope (PAVILION OF WOMEN, MY WEEK WITH MARILYN, TIM’S VERMEER) for four feature films from his filmography. Conrad Pope is one of Hollywood’s most in-demand orchestrators, known for his numerous collaborations with composers John Williams, James Horner, Howard Shore, Alexandre Desplat, James Newton Howard, Alan Silvestri, John Powell, Mark Isham, Danny Elfman, and many others. Pope also has a resume of some 18 original film scores to his credit. His talent in many aspects of movie music and his dexterity on scoring paper and concert stage alike has given him a sought-after reputation in Hollywood that has remained durable and dependable for thirty-five years. GHOST SHIP was based on the true story about a Spanish galleon in 1863 that was swept up the flooding Colorado River from San Diego, and was stranded and wrecked far inland in the Salton Sea. The fictional part of the story has to do with seven kids, who learn of the lost galleon and turn a boring school rock-collecting trip into a quest for a shipload of lost pirate treasure. Somehow the filmmakers were able to fund $100,000 to record the score with a 75-piece orchestra, an unheard of amount for an independent movie. Pope’s score is grandly adventurous with large orchestral gestures, a Coplandesque motif setting the tone for a late 19th Century adventure involving eager kids. Released in 1994, TEMPTATION is a potboiler about insurance fraud and murder. The director was looking for music along the lines of Jerry Goldsmith’s BASIC INSTINCT. His score for the film emphasizes fluid string lines and is built around a main theme for the primary character, along with a surging action motif for brass and a suspended electronic choral element. Pope composed both the electronic and the orchestral music for the film; the latter was recorded with a 52-piece orchestra. 1995’s science fiction thriller PROJECT: METALBEAST is about a group of scientists who create a super soldier by injecting the subject with the blood of a werewolf. Naturally, the experiment goes massively awry and the manufactured lycanthrope is cryogenically frozen for 20 years—after which it’s revived by the surviving member of the original project, who enhances the were-soldier with a synthetic metallic skin that makes it virtually indestructible. Thanks, Doc. Pope’s music for the film is grandly powerful, with an especially glorious finale. UNDER THE MOON was made in late 1993, but you won’t find it listed on IMDB or anywhere else, because it had a single showing and then disappeared from the face of the Earth. The film was a passion project from a group of young would-be filmmakers from El Paso and tells the (at the time) unthinkable story of a man whose girlfriend, a school teacher, breaks up with him and he becomes so enraged that he comes down to the school and shoots her in her classroom, taking some of the children hostage and ultimately making an escape in a school bus. The four film scores included on this collection all stem from 1992-95 and are the first movie scores Conrad Pope wrote. The music reflects the influence of the composers Pope orchestrated for, but they also exhibit what he could do with that inspiration when left to his own creativity. All four of the scores on this album were performed by a contracted orchestra in Salt Lake City, Utah. Dragon’s Domain Records is excited to bring the contents of THE CONRAD POPE COLLECTION, VOLUME 1 to compact disc for the first time. The music has been mastered by James Nelson at Digital Outland, with liner notes written by author Randall Larson, including the participation of composer Conrad Pope.
