La-La Land has announced two new releases for this month: a 60th anniversary edition of what is arguably John Barry's most popular 007 score, GOLDFINGER, remastered and re-sequenced in film order; and the seventh volume of their STAR TREK: THE ORIGINAL SERIES - THE 1701 COLLECTION series, this edition featuring some of the series' most memorable scores - Alexander Courage's music for the two pilots, "The Cage" and "Where No Man Has Gone Before," Sol Kaplan's "The Doomsday Machine," and Gerald Fried's "Amok Time," which introduced both Spock's theme and the fight music that is probably the most widely recognized incidental music from the original series.
The latest release from Caldera features the score from the 2024 thriller IN THE LAND OF SAINTS AND SINNERS, starring Oscar nominees Liam Neeson, Kerry Condon and Ciaran Hinds, with music by Diego Baldenweg with Nora Baldenweg and Lionel Baldenweg. (It's become alarming how rare it is to have a score from the current year show up on CD; ostensibly Lakeshore is releasing Thomas Newman's White Bird today, but I won't truly believe it until I have a copy literally in my hands.) (And I just checked Amazon, and it no longer lists CD as an option for the White Bird score)

La-La Land has announced two new releases due next week -- Lorne Balfe's score for Netflix's recent sequel BEVERLY HILLS COP: AXEL F, which incorporates Harold Faltermeyer's classic theme from the original 1984 film; and an "ultimate cut" edition of Harry Manfredini's score for FRIDAY THE 13TH PART V: A NEW BEGINNING.
The latest release from Music Box is a two-disc, expanded edition of Gabriel Yared's Oscar-nominated score for THE TALENTED MR. RIPLEY, the 1999 remake of Patricia Highsmith's classic first novel in her "Ripley" series (previously filmed as Purple Noon, and recently remade as the mini-series Ripley). Ripley was the second of four theatrical features Yared scored for writer-director Anthony Minghella, and starred Matt Damon as Ripley with a remarkable supporting cast - Gwyneth Paltrow, Cate Blanchett, Philip Seymour Hoffman and an Oscar-nominated Jude Law. Disc One features the full film score, while Disc Two features alternates and demo cues.
The latest release from Caldera presents the score to HAUNTED HEART, a new romantic thriller from director Fernando Trueba (Belle Epoque, Chico & Rita), with music by Zbigniew Preisner (The Double Life of Veronique, Damage).

The latest release from Intrada is an expanded, two-disc edition of Charles Fox's score for the hit 1978 romantic comedy thriller FOUL PLAY, the directorial debut of screenwriter Colin Higgins (Harold and Maude, Silver Streak), which teamed Goldie Hawn with Chevy Chase in his first leading role. The release features the full film score including its nominated original song "Ready to Take a Chance Again," written by Fox and his regular lyricist collaborator Norman Gimbel, plus the sequencing from the original LP release.

The latest release from Intrada is a five-disc set (!) featuring the scores for FEAR STREET TRILOGY, the three interconnected 2021 horror thrillers (released on Netflix) inspired by the book series by R.L. Stine. The scores were composed by two-time Oscar nominee Marco Beltrami with collaborators Anna Drubich, Brandon Roberts and Marcus Trumpp.
The latest release from La-La Land is volume 6 in their series STAR TREK - THE ORIGINAL SERIES: THE 1701 COLLECTION, featuring the cues from the original 1960s TV series previously released on the label's epic boxed set. This two-disc set features the scores for the episodes "And the Children Shall Lead" (George Duning), "I, Mudd" (Samuel Matlovsky), and "The Trouble with Tribbles" (Jerry Fielding), as well as alternate, outtakes, and recordings from the show's music library of episodes scored by Duning, Alexander Courage, Gerald Fried and Fred Steiner.

The latest releases from Buysoundtrax and their related labels are - FALLEN ANGELS VOL. 1, featuring episode cues from the 1990s noir anthology TV series, scored by Peter Bernstein (this volume covers the entire six-episode first season, with episodes helmed by Tom Cruise, Alfonso Cuaron, Tom Hanks, Phil Joanou, Jonathan Kaplan, and Steven Soderbergh); THE GERALD FRIED COLLECTION VOL. 2, featuring the Emmy-winning/Oscar-nominated composer's music for the 1979 film of Sylvia Plath's classic novel The Bell Jar, and the 1976 action thriller Vigilante Force; and Kevin Kiner's score for the 1999 Showtime movie SAFE HOUSE (no relation to the Denzel Washington/Ryan Reynolds vehicle), starring Patrick Stewart.
In a recent column I listed Anthony Willis's score for 2023's SALTBURN as a new CD release. I just received my copy from Amazon, and despite what the Amazon site had implied, the CD is entirely a song album with none of Willis's score. (his score is available on LP, for those who are interested). |
