It's only fair it gets its own thread!
INTRADA Announces:
ABULELE
Composed by FRANK ILFMAN
Conducted by MATTHEW SLATER
INTRADA Special Collection Vol. 339
We wanted a big, old-school soundtrack that would pay tribute to those ’80s movies we grew up on, but one
that would also be fresh and in my own voice. All of those scores had distinctive themes, so it was important for me to do that here.
-- Frank Iflman
Film music speaks to us in the most purely emotional language. Nothing bridges generations better than a symphonic sound imbued with a sense of wonder. Music with memorable themes encourages us to brave dark places and embark on thrilling adventures, with the assurance that we’ll find a friend beyond our wildest imagination. Such is the vocabulary of Frank Ilfman’s (Big Bad Wolves) score for the Israeli fantasy Abulele, reminiscent of kindred melodic spirits like E.T., The Goonies and Harry and the Hendersons. Rather than having Middle Eastern music that called attention to the film’s setting, Director Jonathan Geva and composer Ilfman knew that the production value of a large orchestral score would be essential to translating Abulele to a world audience. The score was recorded with the London Metropolitan Orchestra at Air Studios, their sumptuous work enhanced by recording engineer Paul Golding (The Lord of the Rings) and mixer Casey Stone (Ant-Man).
Abulele is Israel’s first major fantasy film, anchored by a convincingly realized, Cheshire Cat-inspired creature. Yet even with glowing yellow eyes and the power of invisibility, Abulele proves to be anything but fearsome to the withdrawn Adam (Yoav Sadian Rosenberg). Haunted by his elder brother’s death, Adam is given new purpose in life when he discovers the lumbering, lost Abulele in the shadows of his apartment’s bomb shelter. Abulele helps Adam triumph against bullying kids and an unsympathetic teacher. The boy eventually faces a more perilous challenge, however: evading a military “Organization” hell-bent on capturing this gentle giant at any cost.

Your reservations are commendable, but this would probably be a fun impulse buy.
The movie looks deplorable though.

I'm actually considering getting this too, but hope to hear a full track or two to get a full idea what I'd be in for. Excited for your thoughts, Bob!

So the same twelve people who took a chance on The Spider, a truly brilliant score by Soren Hyldgaard, are taking a chance on this wacky thing. Great.

The Spider was sadly not a soundtrack to a B-horror film about an oversized arachnid, so it was not to my tastes.

|
|

|
|
So to those who bought this, any word as to whether or not this is indeed worthwhile?
