On Deadly Ground: The Deluxe Edition
Original Motion Picture Soundtrack
Basil Poledouris


Release Date: 10/22/2018
Limited Edition Of 2000 Copies
https://www.varesesarabande.com/products/on-deadly-ground-the-deluxe-edition

CDs expected to begin shipping the week of November 5
$ 19.98


Another very special and much-requested title worthy of our 40th Anniversary Celebration. We had such a special relationship with Basil Poledouris. Varèse Sarabande was his home.

On Deadly Ground is one of Basil’s greatest action scores. We have expanded the original 30:00 CD selection to a truly epic 79:00!! This is powerhouse Poledouris and not to be missed! New liner notes feature director and star Steven Seagal discussing Basil Poledouris.

Forrest Taft (Steven Seagal) is putting his considerable talents as a fighter and marksman to use as a hired gun for the sleazy oil tycoon Michael Jennings (Michael Caine). The latter's bottom-line tunnel vision has him destroying entire communities if it means a bigger profit for his business. While in Alaska taking care of some business for his amoral boss, however, Taft meets a native Eskimo woman (Joan Chen) who helps him to discover the error of his ways and pursue a more righteous path.

I had no idea there was THIS much unreleased music! Half an hour upgraded to a CD-stuffing 79 minutes! (Is this the complete score?)

Basil is hit or miss with me. This one is a hit. Agreed about the main title. Good stuff. Always thought this was a good companion score to Red October for some reason. Ordered.

Are you sure? How much more music is in the complete score? I guess I understand Varese not wanting to do a 2nd disc...

Oh come on. I'm not a fan of Segal's by any means but the film is a hoot.

Poledouris always brought sincerity and emotion to whatever he worked on, even this, one of the most gloriously stupid movies I've ever seen.

The Save The Planet/Environmental music at the end (which was on the original release) is glorious, one of my favourite pieces by Poledouris.

Could someone chip-in why was ODG elected for the GR Award - seriously was it a mickey-take. smile

I don't know the score or film - not a fan from this period get lost with lots of composers. I'm happy doe Basil was a cool dude lotta love, respect for his scores, going to give this an audition hopefully I'll warm too it, knowing Bas I've got my wallet waiting. Well-done Varese, thank you, great stuff again.
