Hurrah! Great release!! I don't even have the LP or the IT'S ALIVE 2 CD, and I've never seen the film, so this will be an entirely new Herrmann to me! I'm not even going to listen to the samples, just want to soak it in when it arrives!
Thanks FSM guys!
So is this the last Herrmann on FSM? (And was BEN-HUR the last Rozsa?)
FSM is happy to correct this oversight as a final tribute to the composer at the end of his centennial celebration.
Well, "final tribute to the composer at the end of his centennial celebration" doesn't imho mean that it's the FSM's final Herrmann disc. Just that it might have been supposed to be released at the end of 2011, which marked the Herrmann centennial, but we'll see... it would be nice to get someone else for a change - quite recent Frank deVol's centennial for example didn't bring a single CD containing his music.
Not to throw cold water on the thread, but I have and am very happy with "It's Alive II." I love Herrmann but I'm not a completist. Is there much overlap between the two?
