http://buysoundtrax.stores.yahoo.net/profdacoorso.html AHI Records, to be distributed by BUYSOUNDTRAX Records, will be releasing a special Collector’s Edition of PRINCE OF DARKNESS. The soundtrack features music composed & performed by John Carpenter (HALLOWEEN, ESCAPE FROM NEW YORK) and Alan Howarth (THE LOST EMPIRE, HEADLESS) for the 1987 cult horror film written and directed by John Carpenter, starring Donald Pleasance, Jameson Parker, Lisa Blount, Victor Wong, Dennis Dun, Peter Jason and Alice Cooper. PRINCE OF DARKNESS tells the story of a group of researchers who find a mysterious cylinder in an abandoned church in Los Angeles. Inside the cylinder is a mysterious green liquid. As the research team tries to unravel the mystery of the cylinder, strange events begin to occur around them. Their sleep is interrupted by strange dreams. Outside of the church, a crowd of homeless people begins to gather. And one by one, the team members begin to disappear… Released in 1987, PRINCE OF DARKNESS was largely misunderstood by both critics and audiences. But as time has passed, the film has developed quite a following with fans of the director and author H.P. Lovecraft, in part due to its emphasis on atmosphere and building tension as well as the film’s grounding in a reality of hard science, sprinkled with religious overtones. Alan Howarth, in addition to being a composer, is an accomplished sound designer and editor, having worked on films such as STAR TREK: THE MOTION PICTURE, POLTERGEIST, TOTAL RECALL, ARMY OF DARKNESS, BRAM STOKER’S DRACULA, STARGATE and many others. He has been a frequent music collaborator with John Carpenter on his films beginning with ESCAPE FROM NEW YORK in 1980 and including HALLOWEEN II, CHRISTINE, BIG TROUBLE IN LITTLE CHINA and THEY LIVE and Alan has scored many films on his own, including THE LOST EMPIRE, RETRIBUTION, HALLOWEEN 4 & 5, THE DENTIST and, most recently, HEADLESS and BOO!, for the SCI-FI Channel. PRINCE OF DARKNESS was released on compact disc at the time of the film’s release by Varese Sarabande and contained around forty four minutes of music. The soundtrack has been out of print in the United States for many years now and has only been available as a scarce European import. AHI Records, to be distributed by BUYSOUNDTRAX Records, presents a new Collector’s Edition release of PRINCE OF DARKNESS on TWO compact discs, including the complete score, as recorded for the film as well as the contents of the original album release, newly remastered, over TWO hours and twenty minutes of music. The booklet contains exclusive liner notes written by Alan Howarth himself. This is a limited edition release of 1000 units. The first 100 copies will be autographed by composer Alan Howarth.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE CHOPPING MALL / DEATHSTALKER II – ORIGINAL MOTION PICTURE SOUNDTRACKS -FEATURING MUSIC COMPOSED & PERFORMED BY CHUCK CIRINO AND DIRECTOR JIM WYNORSKI TO BE RELEASED ON BSX RECORDS on Oct 27,2008[ Twice The Action. Twice The Passion. Twice The Adventure.… http://buysoundtrax.stores.yahoo.net/deiichmaorso.html The first 100 copies will be autographed by Composer Chuck Cirino October 9, 2008- Los Angeles, CA) – BUYSOUNDTRAX Records will be releasing CHOPPING MALL / DEATHSTALKER II . This collection features music from two films scored by Chuck Cirino for director Jim Wynorski. Released in 1986, CHOPPING MALL, also known as KILLBOTS, was directed by Jim Wynorski, from a script by the director and Steve Mitchell, starring Kelli Maroney, Tony O’Dell, Russell Todd, Karrie Emerson, Barbara Crampton, Nick Segal, John Terlesky and Suzee Slater, featuring cameos by Paul Bartel, Mary Woronov, Dick Miller and Gerrit Graham. Trapped in Park Plaza Mall after hours, a group of teenagers must defend themselves from a trio of malfunctioning security robots. The film features an early electronic score by composer Chuck Cirino. Released the following year, in 1987, DEATHSTALKER II was also directed by Jim Wynorski, from a script by the director and writers Neil Ruttenberg and R.J. Robertson, starring John Terlesky as the Prince Of Thieves, the beautiful Monique Gabrielle in a dual role, the lovely Toni Naples as Sultanna and John Lazar as the evil Jarek, in a film both the director and Deathstalker himself will happily admit can best be described as a classic sword-and-sorcery tale, starring Bugs Bunny as the hero. For DEATHSTALKER II, Chuck Cirino returned for another collaboration with Jim Wynorski, composing a library of music that could easily be adapted to the film, centered around an incredibly catchy tune for the hero that, even two decades later, still holds up. Chuck Cirino did not start his career as a composer, but rather as a programmer in Stroudsburg, Pennsylvania for a Public Access cable TV station, where he learned how to create TV shows by himself, without a crew. In his spare time, he experimented with the station’s video equipment and created a series of genre productions that allowed him the opportunity to learn how to incorporate special effects into his work. After relocating to California, Cirino transitioned into directing high-end special effects television commercials. His first work as composer was for the 1980 cult film GYPSY ANGELS, which starred Vanna White and Richard Roundtree. Since then he has scored films for Roger Corman, directed music videos for bands like Earth, Wind & Fire and The Dickies’ KILLER KLOWNS FROM OUTER SPACE, and has recorded over 40 music soundtracks for feature films like SORCERESS, RETURN OF THE SWAMP THING, HARD TO DIE, TRANSYLVANIA TWIST, and many others. Cirino has worked as a producer, director, filmmaker, videographer, animator, special effects technician, editor, and composer. He executive produces and directs WEIRD TV, a television series featuring weird Americans, bizarre news, unbelievable events and outlandish skits. Chuck’s credits also include executive producer and director of the Sci Fi Channel projects, WORLDWIDE WEIRD and WARPED IN SPACE, and BABERELLAS; an independent Sci Fi feature distributed by Xenon Pictures. CHOPPING MALL / DEATHSTALKER II (suggested retail price $15.95) from BUYSOUNDTRAX Records will begin shipping on October 27th and can be ordered at www.buysoundtrax.com. It is a limited edition, with only 1000 copies being pressed.

The film is almost wall-to-wall with score if I remember correctly (and hopefully my memory isn't that bad considering I just watched it again last week). It is. The music is a big part of the film's atmosphere and is used frequently.
