RETAIL PRICE: $24.98

La-La Land Records and Universal Studios proudly present the eleventh title within the acclaimed Universal Pictures Film Music Classics Collection – TREMORS: LIMITED EDITION, music by Ernest Troost (DEAD HEAT, ONE MAN’S HERO) and additional music by Robert Folk (POLICE ACADEMY, CAN’T BUY ME LOVE, TOY SOLDIERS). This limited edition CD release of the original motion picture score to 1990’s beloved, big-screen, horror-sci-fi-comedy hit TREMORS, starring Kevin Bacon, Fred Ward and Michael Gross, and directed by Ron Underwood, marks the film’s 30th Anniversary and is the first official debut of the score in any format!

Composers Troost and Folk unleash a wildly playful and thrilling musical assault, weaving orchestra, blues and synth into an irresistible soundscape of scares, chills, action, heart and even Americana to propel this tale of a courageous band of dusty locals forced to defend themselves against an onslaught of deadly subterranean creatures. The score, much like the film, itself is “Perfection.”

Produced and mastered by Mike Matessino, the work of Ernest Troost is presented on DISC 1, while Robert Folk’s music is showcased on DISC 2. The exclusive, in-depth liner notes are by writer Zach Tow, including new comments from the composers and a note from director Ron Underwood. The rollicking art design is by Dan Goldwasser. TREMORS is limited to 3000 units, so grab yours before the Graboids grab you!

[Thor 7,465]

This film is loaded in nostalgia for me. I remember we "screened" it on VHS for the entire class at some point in the early 90s. Our head teacher was rather dismayed, I remember, as she was rather conservative and didn't care for the violence. I saw it up again just last year, and it still holds up. I never checked out the Troost/Folk soundtrack, though -- I believe it was already available on a hard-to-find CD?? Or maybe it was a promo?

[Jay 37,287]

I checked out the samples and Troost's cues didn't do much for me... but then Robert Folk's cues, they were fun!  Reminded me of Goldsmith more than once.  

I'll probably pick this up at some point.

[Thor 7,465]

By the way, a piece of trivia is the Norwegian title of the film, which I always found clever. In Norway, the title of Spielberg's JAWS is HAISOMMER (literally translated as SHARK SUMMER). And the title for TREMORS was MARKSOMMER (WORM SUMMER). Neat way to tie associations between the two, I thought.

That's pretty funny

[Koray Savas 2,251]

This film was a staple of my childhood. Excited to have it released; never would have expected it. 

[Thor 7,465]

If anyone knows how to playlist the LLL tracks into the promo programme from 2000, or at least something close to it, let me know. The tracks aren't called the same, they have different lengths etc. I might get access to a digital version of this new release, and would like to use the promo programme as a guide for a possible listening experience. Thanks!
