Intrada comes full circle after 30 years, brings vinyl back in welcome fashion! With horror/fantasy film music on vinyl finding particular popularity, Intrada gives Richard Band score for 1986 Empire Pictures frightfest Troll a spin. Family film makers Charles & Albert Band produce, John Carl Beuchler directs, numerous familiar faces appear including Michael Moriarty (playing Harry Potter, Sr.), Noah Hathaway (playing Harry Potter, Jr.!), June Lockhart, Anne Lockhart, Sonny Bono, Shelley Hack, Julia Louis-Dreyfus. Richard Band scores for orchestra, chorus, produces his score not in the norm as series of short film cues but in then (and still) rare form of an extended five-movement "symphony". Lengthy sequences are cohesive, flavorful, playful, exciting, tuneful, intense... and more! Centerpiece is Band's "Cantos Profanae" featuring solo child's voice, large chorus intoning English, Italian, Latin text plus orchestra, all hurtling forward in lively, rhythmically dynamic fashion. Interesting composition device: Band creates considerable excitement, intensity not through dissonance but courtesy ever-increasing density in his orchestrations and harmonic vernacular which plays almost entirely in minor. Unique sound! Intrada 180 gram premium vinyl pressing packaged with deluxe (UV-coated) gatefold jacket, newly-commissioned artwork plus plethora of color stills inside. Musical contents identical to 2006 Intrada CD release. Orchestrations by Jack Smalley. Richard Band composes, conducts. Limited pressing of 500 copies! http://store.intrada.com/s.nl/it.A/id.9862/.f?sc=13&category=-113 Side 1 01. Cantos I (10:00) 02. Cantos II (5:14) 03. Cantos Profanae (3:05) Side 2 01. Cantos IV (9:57) 02. Cantos V (9:05) If nothing else, that is some killer artwork.

Why in the hell is vinyl coming back? Same content as CD? Just do not understand why labels are going "Forward To The Past"? Just for the art work? Original movie art work is the only way to go. People have been complaining about storing CDs in jewel cases, good luck storing more LPs! No sale on any new vinyl.

34.99? Mondotees and Waxwork Records, among others, offer double LP packages for less, and they even include colored LPs which tie into their art design. Anyone feel 35, plus the shipping of "4 discs" comparatively seems a bit steep? Especially for an album many already own on CD. *shrug*

Well, as at least two labels have pointed out, there's a niche market and LP's are selling, so as long as they move, why not make some money on it? LLLR's has two coming: "Krull" (unspecified date) and in November an LP of "Invasion of the Body Snatchers".

The success of these endeavors depends wholly on their choice of titles. Not completely sold on any of the announced titles thus far, from any of the soundtrack labels.
