La-La Land Records and Paramount Pictures present the remastered and expanded release of Shirley Walker & John Carpenter’s score to the 1996 Paramount Pictures futuristic actioner ESCAPE FROM L.A., starring Kurt Russell, Steve Buscemi and Cliff Robertson, and directed by John Carpenter. When it came time to score his big-budget follow-up to the cult classic ESCAPE FROM N.Y., director/co-writer John Carpenter, who had inventively scored most of his films (HALLOWEEN, THE FOG, BIG TROUBLE IN LITTLE CHINA), collaborated with the ingenious Shirley Walker (BATMAN: THE ANIMATED SERIES, BATMAN MASK OF THE PHANTASM, WILLARD) to create the perfect musical soundscape for the further exploits of Snake Plissken. Building upon Carpenter’s iconic synth template, Walker harness her trademark orchestral power and the result is a full-charging heroic score that takes Plissken to new action-packed heights. Produced by Dan Goldwasser and mastered by Doug Schwartz, this expanded release boasts a running time of more than 78 minutes and contains cues that were recorded for the film, but never used. Film music writer Daniel Schweiger brings the listener behind the movie and its score with his in-depth liners and the sharp art direction is courtesy of Dan Goldwasser. This is limited edition of 1500 Units.

FLESH + BLOOD: LIMITED EDITION LLLCD 1293

Music by Basil Poledouris

Limited Edition of 1200 Units

STARTS SHIPPING FEB 11

RETAIL PRICE: $19.98

Flesh_Blood_Web.jpg

La-La Land Records and MGM present the remastered re-issue of renowned composer Basil Poledouris’ (CONAN THE BARBARIAN, ROBOCOP, THE HUNT FOR RED OCTOBER) original motion picture score to the 1985 medieval-set action/drama FLESH + BLOOD, starring Rutger Hauer, Jennifer Jason Leigh and Jack Thompson, and directed by Paul Verhoeven. Considered to be one of his best works, Poledouris’ bold score continues in his CONAN tradition – and it’s an absolute powerhouse! Essentially, a release for those who weren’t fortunate enough to obtain it previously, this re-issue produced by Ford A. Thaxton and remastered by James Nelson, is a must-have for any film music enthusiast who missed out on grabbing it. Film music writer Randall Larson eschews re-counting ground already covered extensively in previous editions of the soundtrack and instead focuses on an interview he and David Kraft conducted with Poledouris, in the composer’s home, on May 19, 1985. To our knowledge, this is the only detailed, contemporary interview Poledouris gave on this score and much of this lengthy conversation had remained unpublished… until now. Majestic art direction by Mark Banning rounds out this exciting presentation. This is a Limited Edition of 1200 Units.

Now, the film is a reality and the heavy metal / fantasy soundtrack album is finally unleashed!"

The KNIGHTS OF BADASSDOM soundtrack features performances by heavy metal and rock luminaries including Brendon Small (Dethklok), Doug Aldrich (Whitesnake, Dio), Mike Keneally (Frank Zappa), Steve Bartek (Oingo Boingo), Ira Ingber (Bob Dylan), Pete Griffin (Three Inches of Blood) and Joe Travers (Zappa Plays Zappa).

I'll probably pick up the two most recent Bears at Amazon because nobody gave me LLL gift cards for Christmas.

For next Christmas:

http://store.lalalandrecords.com/lala25gice.html

Thanks but that defeats the point of Amazon gift cards, sold at our local grocery chain for points redeemable towards gasoline discounts, especially at Christmastime. People in my area get lazy at the holidays when it comes to shopping, and I get Amazon, Best Buy, and restaurant cards.

As I have said before I missed all the previous Blue Max releases so I am certainly going to get this one. :)

Right, but I'm sure when the artwork was approved by WB, it was expected to be released in 2013, but then got delayed after that. By the time the Matrix 3 artwork was approved, they probably already knew it wasn't coming out until 2014.

Obviously both releases were intended to be released in 2013, and both got delayed until 2014. However, as I said, during the moment in time that WB had to approve the artwork for S:TAS, it was still expected to be released in 2013, hence the banner. During the moment in time WB had to approve the artwork for Matrix 3, it was already known it wouldn't be released until 2014, hence the return to the EAC banner. Pretty simple stuff.

It is unfortunate LLL and WB couldn't get all 24 of their planned 90th Anniversary titles out in 2013. Heck, I think there are still 10+ we don't even know about yet.

In either case, the score is coming out really soon after the previous one. So there are no complaints coming from me.

Looking forward to getting Revolutions! Shame no tracklist has been revealed just yet, but it sounds like it's already going to have more than the bootleg has. Plus, 150 signed copies means I stand a chance of getting one with a more comfotable margin than I had with Reloaded (I was #98).

It's under an hour of score but there are some alternatives and some nifty suspense cues. It would feel better if he hadn't used up this bag of tricks in another dozen of action scores since EXECUTIVE DECISION though SOAF sounds a bit more polished and "worthy". And has another go at Jerry does Russia which is always worth a chuckle.

For a person who hasn't heard it previously, would you unreservedly recommend the Sum of All Fears?

Both Creepshow and Sum Of All Fears are indeed must haves even though I never owned the original releases, but won't be instant buys or orders from me b/c of a long list of cd releases I have yet (but am trying) to purchase. So hopefully it won't sell out quicktly. I'm glad LLLR is giving everyone a monthly heads up on their releases. Instead of every two weeks, which wasn't bad to begin with.

Wasn't there a Williams release that was postponed to 2014? Has there been any hints when that is supposed to come out?

Definitely above average Goldsmith with some cool highlights (listen to the track above).

I missed this thread before:

http://filmscoremonthly.com/board/posts.cfm?threadID=101600&forumID=1&archive=0

In it, MV confirms LLL is working on titles by Alex North, Dimitri Tiomkin, Franz Waxman, and Jerry Fielding - but nothing by Max Steiner or Miklos Rozsa.

La-La Land Records, Paramount Pictures and WEA join forces to present the expanded and remastered re-issue of legendary composer Jerry Goldsmith’s (THE BLUE MAX, PATTON, THE OMEN, BASIC INSTINCT) original motion picture score to the 2002 Paramount Pictures espionage thriller THE SUM OF ALL FEARS, based on the acclaimed Tom Clancy novel of the same name, starring Ben Affleck, Morgan Freeman and Liev Schreiber, and directed by Phil Alden Robinson. Goldsmith brings his decades worth of musical prowess to bear on a young Jack Ryan’s desperate mission to stop a potential nuclear war between the U.S. and Russia, triggered by a Neo-Nazi leader who threatens to detonate a nuke in an American football stadium. Striking themes and motifs abound in Goldsmith’s powerhouse orchestral score, expertly weaving patriotism and hope with chilling dread and nail-biting suspense in equal measure. It’s undoubtedly an important work from this iconic maestro’s final chapter. With an expanded running time almost 30 minutes longer than the original 2002 soundtrack release, this deluxe presentation of THE SUM OF ALL FEARS features previously unreleased score cues as well as bonus tracks and songs – all of it remastered by Doug Schwartz in stellar sonic fashion. Produced by Dan Goldwasser, this limited edition of 3000 units features exclusive, in depth liners by writer Jeff Bond and thrilling art direction by Goldwasser.

La-La Land Records and 20th Century Fox present the remastered re-issue of Tangerine Dream’s (SORCERER, THE KEEP, LEGEND, MIRACLE MILE) original score to the 1983 motion picture sci-fi drama WAVELENGTH, starring Robert Carradine, Cherie Currie and Keenan Wynn, and directed by Mike Gray. Electronic musical geniuses Tangerine Dream find the inner-pulse of this overlooked cult gem about a pair of lovers who attempt to rescue innocent, child-like aliens held captive in a secret government installation and help return them to their world. This striking score manages moments of sublime beauty and poetry, even spirituality, while also supporting the film’s quotient of menace and suspense. Previously out-of-print, WAVELENGTH returns in this handsome re-issue sounding better than ever. Produced by Nick Redman and Ford A. Thaxton and remastered by James Nelson, this limited edition of 1500 units also features in-depth, exclusive liners from writer Randall D. Larson and otherworldly art design by Mark Banning.
