The latest release from Quartet is an expanded, two-disc edition of the score for Martin Scorsese's hit 1991 remake of CAPE FEAR, for which Elmer Bernstein faithfully adapted Bernard Herrmann's music from the original 1961 version (while incorporating some of Herrmann's unused score for Torn Curtain). DIsc One features the full film score plus alternates, while Disc Two features the original CD sequencing from 1991.
The latest releases from Music Box are an expanded edition of Maurice Jarre's score for the 1963 nature documentary LES ANIMAUX (aka The Animals); and a disc pairing two scores by Eric Demarsan - JUILLET EN SEPTEMBRE (1988) and LES MAL PARTIS (1976)
Daniel Blumberg won BAFTA's Original Score award for THE BRUTALIST (which Milan is releasing on vinyl as well as a two-CD set later this spring)

DID THEY MENTION THE MUSIC?
AFTER DEATH - Hannah Parrott
"These stories are told by co-directors Gray and Chris Radtke with the emotional tact of summer blockbuster trailers: swelling strings, fast cuts, and special-effects heavy reenactments that hog most of the budget. The accounts are sometimes clunkily assembled so that we learn a little about one story, only to then hear another, and then we hear another. Intercut interviews tell us how intense their respective pain was or how finalizing it should have been. Their experience becomes our sloppy spectacle."
Nick Allen, RogerEbert.com
THE ARCHIES - Music and Lyrics by Ankur Tiwari, The Islanders, Aditi Saigal, Shankar-Ehsaan-Loy, Javed Akhtar
"With a soundtrack made up almost entirely of earworms -- with music and lyrics by Ankur Tiwari, The Islanders, Aditi Saigal, Shankar-Ehsaan-Loy and Javed Akhtar -- and a script by Zoya Akhtar, Reema Kagti and Ayesha Devtire Dhillon full of zippy one-liners and some truly moving moments, the young cast truly gets the chance to shine, be they newcomer or 'nepo baby.'"
Arezou Amin, Collider
BRING THEM DOWN - Hannah Peel
"Yet the intertwined -- and intermarried -- fates of 'Bring Them Down''s sheep farmers, hidebound and unable to communicate with each other in anything approaching a healthy way, feel less like a western than a Gaelic version of a Kurosawa film. The feeling is enhanced by the cut-up storytelling (shades of Rashomon), and a sparse, dread-inducing skin-drum score (by Northern Irish composer Hannah Peel) that eschews the Irish bodhrán drum in favour of percussive sounds from farther afield, particularly Southeast Asia."
David Hughes, Time Out
"By unveiling this silent storm from Michael’s perspective, 'Bring Them Down' creates a disconcerting aura about Gary and Jack -- accompanied by a thumping, off-kilter score -- as they act neighborly towards Michael in one moment, while approaching him with an icy chill in the next. Further complicating matters is the fact that Caroline still approaches Michael with a kindly demeanor, and a warmth she no longer seems to have for her husband. Michael, however, can’t help but be reminded of his actions each time he looks at her face."
Siddhant Adlakha, Variety
THE DAMNED - Stephen McKeon
"The tension is underscored by composer Stephen McKeon’s high-pitched strings, recalling the Penderecki music Kubrick grafted to horror imagery to memorable effect in 'The Shining.' The entire cast, including British 'Peaky Blinders' star Joe Cole, hangs in throughout the nerve-wracking proceedings in appropriately downcast modes. By the finale, in which the fire that Eva was told was necessary to break the curse of the dead materializes, it’s in the service of a genuinely gasp-inducing twist. Speaking of breaking curses, the first movies of any given year are usually among the worst. Not this one. It’s a keeper, so treat yourself to a scary New Year’s celebration."
Glenn Kenny, RogerEbert.com
FRYBREAD FACE & ME - Ryan Beveridge
"But for every understated element of this film -- another thoughtful touch is in its use of subtitles, which become more prevalent as Benny learns more words in Navajo -- there’s a heavy-handed one. The music is unabashedly sentimental, as is the bookending voiceover narration. It’s as if the director (or perhaps a producer?) was worried the audience wouldn’t understand the emotional significance of the story without having it spoon-fed to them."
Katie Rife, RogerEbert.com
HARD TRUTHS - Gary Yershon
"Cinematographer Dick Pope, who has made more than a dozen movies with Leigh, catches the claustrophobia in Pansy’s world; Gary Yershon’s score slowly slides from unobtrusive chamber music to something edgier and more astringent."
Steve Pond, The Wrap
"As is Leigh’s trademark, 'Hard Truths' is formally unassuming and yet poised and powerful, his gentle pans, tender close-ups, and astute compositions conveying the alienation wrought by Pansy’s endless outbursts. Set to sparse, plaintive strings and woodwinds, the film observes Pansy with fascination and empathy, even as it denies us an easy explanation for her troubles."
Nick Schager, The Daily Beast
"As we start to collect a list of Pansy’s triggers (elevators, germs, animals, lovely bouquets of flowers), her world does feel like a prison, an idea that the cinematographer, Dick Pope, underlines with a shot of her fearfully huffing up a set of stairs, her exhausted face peeking through the bars on the handrails as though she’s locked inside a cell. The score sustains single notes like a dirge as Leigh judiciously chooses which noises he’ll let barge into Pansy’s sterile life. One of his favorites is the sound of cooing pigeons -- pests to some, but also survivors who’ve adapted to survive on crumbs of kindness. That theme extends to the movie too. Morsels of patience and generosity become life-giving sustenance, even if we cathartically prefer the scenes where strangers fire back at Pansy with both barrels."
Amy Nicholson, Los Angeles Times
"Such shortcomings are hardly dealbreakers in a film that otherwise fits like a small but crucial piece in the greater puzzle of its maker’s career. That sense of belonging is bolstered by fine contributions from regular Leigh collaborators, including DP Dick Pope’s searching facial close-ups and Gary Yershon’s orchestral score, oscillating between mournful strings and bittersweet notes of optimism."
Jon Frosch, The Hollywood Reporter
INHERITANCE - Paul Leonard-Morgan
"In addition to Jackson Hunt’s cinematography and Nick Carew’s urgent editing pace, the biggest stylistic contributors here are the electronica-leaning score by Paul Leonard-Morgan and music supervisor Joe Rudge’s diverse selection of preexisting tracks."
Dennis Harvey, Variety
LOVE HURTS - Dominic Lewis
"Worst yet, for an action film, I can think of very few satisfying deaths or memorable fights in 'Love Hurts.' Eusebio looks frightened of kills and allergic to allowing the sterling fight choreography to breathe visually. Despite a score filled with wah-wah guitars and swirling strings soundtracking big-bad scenes dipped in neon, a desire for cleanliness causes this faux-exploitation picture to grind down its seediness into a flat, unspectacular aesthetic that suggests stylistic cosplaying rather than colorful filmmaking. It’s all emblematic of how Hollywood knows the ingredients of action cinema but has totally forgotten the measurements."
Robert Daniels, RogerEbert.com
LOVE ME - David Longstreth
"Whatever your thoughts on Sam and Andy Zuchero’s 'Love Me,' few will dispute that for an independently financed film, it’s a unique and creative achievement. At least a third of the movie is CG animation, another third is motion capture animation, and the final portion is live action. And it looks polished. The animation is studio quality. The original score by David Longstreth is masterful. Indie constraints have not hampered the filmmakers’ vision whatsoever. And to pull that off as your directorial feature debut? That’s damn impressive. We only wish, despite the best efforts of stars Kristen Stewart and Steven Yeun, that its billion-year-long love story felt as profound as the Zucheros want it to be."
Gregory Ellwood, The Playlist
"Following that ambitious start, the Zucheros downshift awkwardly into something that feels more like a Pixar film by way of Stanley Kubrick. Love Me zooms in to the Earth’s frozen and lifeless surface in the near post-apocalyptic future. Except for some battered skyscrapers in the distance, all that seems to remain of the human species is a scientific research buoy stuck in the ice. The tone is voluptuously sad, with heartfelt piano on the soundtrack, a moonlit sky, and an adorable robot with one big blinking eye sending its plaintive message into the void: 'Smart Buoy waiting to connect.' Then the buoy spots another adorable robot, a satellite zipping overhead beaming out a 'Welcome to Earth' message, and spots an opportunity."
Chris Barsanti, Slant Magazine
"Of course, it goes without saying that Me and Iam don’t actually have an audience (the former is doomed to spend eternity waiting for even a single 'like,' which is a fitting end to our species), but they also don’t have any other model to follow. For all of our frantic hyperventilating about the future of AI, the truth is that AI as we know it can’t ever be real, as they’ll always be echoes of the people who provided the data for their algorithms. Me seems dimly aware of this fact, as she forces Iam to repeat Deja and her husband’s hellish 'date night' video so many times that it feels like the satellite is trapped in purgatory with David Fincher. At least the piano score provided by Dirty Projectors’ frontman David Longstreth adds a dose of humanity."
David Ehrlich, IndieWire
"There’s a decent amount of humor in this early stretch, notably when the buoy starts absorbing the Instagram feed of social influencers named Deja (Stewart) and her husband Liam (Yeun). Their vapid videos are whimsically titled 'Another Day Another Deja… And Liam.' 'And now we can be friends,' declares the buoy, identifying as 'Me' after appropriating Deja’s image and voice. But by the time the satellite, which takes the characteristics of Liam and the moniker 'Iam,' accepts the connection with a reciprocal follow, the scenario is already careening toward terminally cute AI hell. The incessant plinking plonking dissonant piano pushes it there faster."
David Rooney, The Hollywood Reporter
UNIVERSAL LANGUAGE - Amir Amiri, Christophe Lamarche-Ledoux
"The Winnipeg/Tehran mashup is not explained, but simply presented as an alternative reality. Buildings throughout have signs in Persian script and characters speak either Farsi or French. An open-air market in the dead of a Winnipeg winter sells roasted beets and old typewriters. A Tim Horton’s outlet sells tea from samovars and Persian pastries. The score by Amir Amiri and Christophe Lamarche-Ledoux, which interweaves traditional Persian music and electro-ambient music."
Liam Lacey, Original Cin
