Score Album Review: WONDER WOMAN 1984
Hans Zimmer/WaterTower Music – digital

Hans Zimmer’s score to WONDER WOMAN 1984 is full to the brim with bright, heroic, rousing orchestral themes, and those who have complained about too many drones in recent years are going to be very surprised at the melodic richness of this new superhero score [as for me (I willingly digress) I’ll go on record as having found much to treasure in the music of DUNKIRK and other of Zimmer’s tonally oriented scores]. WONDER WOMAN 1984, logically enough, fast forwards from the 1940s of Patty Jenkins’ 2017 WONDER WOMAN film as circumstances in 1984 find her riding lightning across the sky, donning wings of gold, and chasing a dream while in pursuit of two new formidable foes: ruthless what-do-you-wish businessman Maxwell Lord and co-worker-cum-nemesis, Cheetah.

Colin Towns’ Score for Clive Barker’s RAWHEAD REX Soundtrack Announced by Silva Screen

“The first film I scored was FULL CIRCLE (aka THE HAUNTING OF JULIA) which starred Mia Farrow and is still in the BFI top ten for best score for horror films,” Towns said. “I felt that film was more of a dark scary mystery. RAWHEAD REX on the other hand was clearly a horror film 100%. I visited the film set in Ireland during the filming to take in the atmosphere and meet the actors after which I decided to record the music at CTS in London with a sixty piece orchestra plus electronics. I have always orchestrated my own work and had a wild time with RAWHEAD which is what I really love doing.”

Lakeshore Releases Ben Lovett’s I TRAPPED THE DEVIL Soundtrack
“Ben Lovett’s score is more evidence that the man who sold the horror in THE WIND and THE RITUAL understands the importance of music in horror. Those two films utilized music and sound perfectly to create tension and put that feeling of dread in your stomach. With I TRAPPED THE DEVIL operating in minimalism, the music is even more important in establishing tension and Lovett’s score melds with the sound effects to create an underlying dread that percolates through the entire film. It pulses, mixing ambient noises and thudding bass.” – Gayly Dreadful

Finders Keepers Records’ released last month of Zdenek Liška’s score to the 1963 Czech science fiction adventure IKARIE XB 1 (released, heavily edited, in the US, as VOYAGE TO THE END OF THE UNIVERSE) has surely put a smile on the faces of those familiar with Liška’s work and the legend of this film and its score. Described as a missing link between FORBIDDEN PLANET and 2001: A SPACE ODYSSEY, with nuances we would later see in STAR TREK well in evidence, the film is directed by Jindřich Polàk and based on the book by Stanislaw Lem (best known for Solaris, source of another marvelous Eastern European film [and its lesser gratifying Hollywood remake]).

With this film came a larger budget than usual and it was Chuck’s idea, rather than to score the movie wholly with synthesizers, as he had done with all his previous scores, to take advantage of the budget and bring in a small orchestra to enhance his synths. “What I had in mind is emulating what Jerry Goldsmith and Bernard Herrmann had done back in THE TWILIGHT ZONE days, with small orchestras.”

Brian Tyler’s WHAT MEN WANT Soundtrack Coming Up from Lakeshore
The vibe that I went for ended up being a kind of throwback quartet jazz with saxophone, piano, upright bass, and jazz drums, but much more pared down than CRAZY RICH ASIANS was. This was more of a soloistic type of thing within a jazz idiom. It also goes into a lot of funk and throwback soul music that’s really from the ‘70s as well as a bit of throwback to the 1990s in the style of the music.

Supernatural Shipwreck Score: Oscar Fogelström’s AURORA Soundtrack Leaves Port via Screamworks
“AURORA asks a lot of questions about our own mortality” composer Oscar Fogelström explained. “Early on we talked about writing a requiem for the (many) people that die in the fatal boat accident that is central in the films story. It was a great challenge to turn that idea into a real thing, a device that I could use throughout the score. I adapted and rewrote part of the classical lyrics from the requiem mass and had it performed by a choir.” Another prominent theme in the film is the water, appearing in almost every shot. Oscar says: “To some extent I wanted the music to feel like water. The string arrangements in particular have a sort of a wave-like motion to them, swelling back and forth as the tide.”

Gore Score: Soundtrack Released for Composer Dominik Hauser’s Directorial Debut
“DEAD SQUAD: TEMPLE OF THE UNDEAD has a few nods to the ‘80s with a couple synthy throwback cues,” Hauser said, “but then I departed from that and I tried to stay in more of a percussive, orchestral vein – which to me is the timeless design for music in movies. I wanted to score the film a little more seriously and not synthy throughout.” The score is an effectively mix of digital orchestra and a small group of live musicians.

“I wanted to create a music that reflected the cold and misty nature present in the film, but also the spiritual evolution of Clara, our 12-year old main character” says Flemming Nordkrog about his contributions. “The music had to be fragile, mysterious and very organic.

First the female voice, representing Clara, then a duo of cello and bass, a duo of alto flute and clarinet and a 30 piece string orchestra.

We’re really looking at a Hitchcockian psychological tapestry, dialog scenes where what’s being discussed on the surface is 100% cover for what’s being insinuated below the surface, and the score gets to dance between those two levels.”

It’s been a long time, but Cinestate involved me in this new adventure, which has had many points in common with my early experience in film music….

Beltrami’s A QUIET PLACE Soundtrack comes to Vinyl from Mondo
…The score by Marco Beltrami is an absolute tour-de-force – it’s basically another character in the film. It can be forceful and bludgeoning one minute, and quiet and reflective the next. His players twist their instruments to generate tones and textures not usually associated with them; the layers of sound and percussion on display are incredible. The opening track ‘It Hears You’ is reminiscent of a classic PLANET OF THE APES cue; it’s disquieting and slightly wonky but has an incredible hook that immediately lets you know you are in horror territory. Contrastingly, ‘A Quiet Family’ is a beautiful piano track that reminds you of the life the family lived before a world of monsters took over. The pianos are detuned and electronics are layered over traditional instruments to create something truly unsettling…

Digital Soundtrack to ORBITER 9 released by MovieScore Media
MovieScore Media once again ventures into a dystopian landscape with ORBITER 9, the Spanish-Colombian sci-fi co-production written and directed by Hatem Khraiche. “The score attempts to oscillate between cold colors and a more heartfelt tone depending on who’s character voice is embodying, between the intimacy of the romantic encounter and the more massive and harsh character of the armed group chasing our protagonists,” commented composer Federico Jusid.

Next to SUSPIRIA, PROFONDO ROSSO has to be the jewel in the Goblin crown. It’s impossible to overstate the importance of this score, as it really set the stage for prog-infused synth scores and has influenced a generation. We are super proud to not only be re-issuing the full original soundtrack as it originally appeared in 1975, but we also have an entire disc of alternate tracks and takes on vinyl for the first time ever.

Variety: Universal Launches Music Restoration Program, New Soundtrack Imprint
In an exclusive article posted today at Variety, writer Jon Burlingame reported that Universal Studios has embarked on a long-range plan to preserve and restore its unreleased movie music. The studio will begin releasing some of these scores as limited-edition soundtrack albums starting next week.
“The imprint will be called Universal Pictures Film Music Heritage Collection, wrote Burlingame. “Its first release, to be formally announced Tuesday [June 26], will be Michel Colombier’s music from the 1970 science-fiction film COLOSSUS: THE FORBIN PROJECT.
Following in August will be Henry Mancini’s score for the 1979 Peter Sellers remake of THE PRISONER OF ZENDA. Both will be on the La-La Land label, which specializes in movie and TV soundtracks.
“We’re a century-old media company,” Mike Knobloch, Universal Pictures president of global film music and publishing, told Variety. “As much as we’re always looking forward, sometimes we have to look back, and recognize and value our history. Our catalog dates back to the beginning of cinema and the advent of sound. This is just the tip of the iceberg that’s in the vault.”

LEGION Season 2 soundtrack coming up on Friday
Lakeshore Records will release the LEGION SEASON TWO – Original Television Soundtrack digitally on May 25th, featuring original music by Emmy® Award winning composer Jeff Russo (FARGO, THE NIGHT OF). Legion is the story of “David Haller” (Dan Stevens), a man who believed himself to be schizophrenic only to discover that he may actually be the most powerful mutant the world has ever seen. Russo goes deeper and pushes more boundaries with the second season score. Legion currently airs Tuesdays at 10pm ET/PT on FX.
Says Russo: “There wasn’t a directive this season except to write some new themes for our new characters and locations. Vermillion! Farouk! Future Syd! It’s a roller coaster ride or maybe a fast carousel. Always keeping the viewer and listener off balance and engaged in the emotional through line of the narrative is the most important part. I’m always asking myself how can I stay in the heart of the story and color outside the lines.”
Strange Disc proudly presents (for the first time on any format) the original soundtrack to POPCORN (1991) – Music by Paul Zaza

POPCORN was entirely shot in Jamaica, so on some tracks you can definitely sense the ‘island flavor’ slipping into Paul’s eerie trademark sound.
Now, for the first time on any format, Strange Disc record presents a deluxe limited vinyl edition that also comes with a double-sided insert containing exclusive liner notes by the composer and noted horror film journalist Kristy Jett. Supervised and produced by the composer, this release is available as a classic black vinyl edition (250 copies) & as a color vinyl variant (300 copies Popcorn Swirl Vinyl).

“I wanted to capture the struggle between the doctor and vampire that Jonathan Reid becomes,” reveals composer Olivier Derivière. “Only a virtuoso cellist like Eric-Maria Couturier, with all his experience in contemporary classical music, could give this performance such complex duality with his instrument. With the use of dual strings and so many disturbing notes, his musicianship evokes something unique that perfectly matches the journey of Jonathan Reid.”

Trunk Records release vinyl soundtrack from a popular TV cartoon about spiders!
For many enthusiasts the soundtrack to a certain spider-related TV series (we’re not allowed to mention its name for legal reasons) is really is formative music – a junior foray into hip swinging crime jazz and esoteric musical grooviness… After its first season the producing company went bankrupt, so the amazing spider series was taken on by producer Steve Krantz, who brought in the idea of using economic library music. Here the production turned to the KPM catalogue, one of the few really established library catalogues around at the time with a modern edge; it was full of fabulous, modern dramatic music tracks. Not only would this KPM music be efficient, affordable and very easy to use, it would also mean syndication worldwide would not be held up by any future musical issues. Krantz produced two amazing spider series and both were smothered with KPM music. In fact barely a spider second goes by without music playing in either the background or foreground.

The cello immediately unlocked the door into the score and justified an element of virtuoso solo cello.

More THRILLER from Tadlow
Teaser: Coming from Tadlow in 2018 – a second helping of newly-recorded music from the original TV series, THRILLER (1961-62).
Jerry Goldsmith had taken over composing for THRILLER when first-season scorer Pete Rugolo was let go during a house-clearing to retool the series as a scarier anthology in its second season. Goldsmith had previously contributed to CBS’s THE TWILIGHT ZONE (1959-64), scoring 16 of its original half-hour episodes. Goldsmith relished the opportunity to score THRILLER’s hour-long format. Tadlow’s 2017 CD release offered up a premiere release of Goldsmith’s music from THRILLER’s second-season scores (Rugolo had made an LP in 1961 of some of his music from the show’s first season; that LP was reissued on CD in Spain in 2002; but none of Goldsmith’s THRILLER music had been issued in any format).
With their first volume, producers James Fitzpatrick and Leigh Phillips (the latter also reconstructed the scores) had rearranged the powerful resources of the City of Prague Philharmonic Orchestra into an unusual chamber set-up that befitted the scope of Goldsmith’s music, which was originally recorded with minimal ensembles, but nonetheless made the most of the composer’s inventive orchestrations.
Tadlow’s world premiere recording would revisit more than an hour’s worth of music from six of THRILLER’s most provocatively scored second-season episodes, each one score presented via a trio of short suites.
