Upcoming CDs

Upcoming next from Kritzerland:

"Adventures of Casanova"
By: Hugo Friedhofer

Wow. That's brilliant. Had no idea there was any prospect of a better release of the original recording

Re-recording, original, whatever......I WILL HAVE THEM ALL!

I hope not too Alan, DESTROYER sufferered more than BARBARIAN originally, that's why I'm so looking forward to Tadlow's new recording.

New Intrada clue (August 8th release):

Don Davis' opera getting released. Quote from his website:

Don't know if it will be of any interest, since the film isn't named, but Bruce (Kritzerland) Kimmel says they have a Francis Lai coming. It's not their next release though -- which hasn't been guessed yet.

Make sure the new Conan release you all purchase is the correct one

I love Stromberg's music. But a synthetic orchestra this time? Hmmm...

Had a helping hand in two new releases which I can't discuss and I'm seriously considering working on my first CD release. This would be a co-effort.

According to Ford Thaxton (I think) it's not a synthetic orchestra but a mix of live and sampled instruments, much like Lafonde's Delerue recordings. I have to say the samples sound great! Wonderful themes as well.
...I'm more tempted than by the simultaneous release of Scott's Yor, which -amazingly!- didn't do anything for me at all!

The new FSM CD's:

Kritzerland is still having us guessing, but it's an '80's release.

I got this from Moviescore at the FSM board...

[startquote]MOVIESCORE MEDIA TO RELEASE ROUSING ORCHESTRAL SCORE FROM HIT TV SERIES ’PRIMEVAL’
Action-packed album features original score by Ivor Novello-nominated Dominik Scherrer

(August 24, 2011- Göteborg, Sweden) – Finally, after five successful series on TV, the original music from ITV dinosaur adventure series Primeval, gets a soundtrack album release courtesy of Swedish soundtrack record label MovieScore Media. The action-packed 75-minute album features selections of the original score music composed by Ivor Novello Award-nominated composer Dominik Scherrer (Miss Marple, Scenes of a Sexual Nature, The Nine Lives of Tomas Katz) from the first three series of the popular show.

Primeval premiered on ITV in 2007, presenting a story about an evolutionary zoologist who discovers prehistoric creatures alive and well in the present day. The natural world is turned on its head and humanity faces a threat to its very existence. Unexplained anomalies are ripping holes in the fabric of time, allowing creatures from the past, and the future, to roam the modern world. Suddenly the world we thought we understood has changed. Nothing is certain. What kinds of relationships emerge in this shared world of secrets and suspense? What sort of creature can you next expect to see? Where will the next anomaly appear and what on earth will come out of it?

The series, which stars Douglas Henshall, Jason Flemyng, Andrew Lee-Potts, Lucy Brown and Hannah Spearritt, was nominated for a Satellite Award for Best Television Series (drama) in 2008 and by BAFTA for its Visual Effects in 2009. It has aired on ITV in the UK, on BBC America and Sci-Fi in the USA, and is distributed by BBC Worldwide. Primeval has aired in over 30 countries. During its first season, the series averaged 6.39 million viewers in the UK alone.

The exclusive world-wide soundtrack rights have been assigned to MovieScore Media by production company Impossible Pictures . The soundtrack album will be released both digitally online via all major outlets as well as on CD. The official release date of the album is September 20, 2011.

43-year old Swiss-born Dominik Scherrer has emerged as one of the most talented film composers of his generation. His music has received all-round great acclaim including an Ivor Novello 2011 Best TV score nomination following the phenomenal success of Agatha Christie’s Miss Marple (ITV/WGBH). Dominik was awarded a Gold Medal for Best Original Music at The New York International TV Festival 2006. He wrote an eclectic score to the complex, dark and funny feature film Scenes of a Sexual Nature starring Ewan McGregor, Hugh Bonneville, Gina McKee and Sophie Okonedo for Tin Pan Films. He wrote the score for the dark and twisted feature The Truth, and then went onto score the feature Riprendimi (US title: Good Morning Heartache), which was accepted to premiere in competition at the Sundance Film Festival. Other features include the award winning The Nine Lives of Tomas Katz for which Dominik received the Best Music Award at Spain’s Estapona Film Festival; the Italian comedy In Principio Erano Le Mutande, Alice Through The Looking Glass and Appetite. He most recently scored Monroe for Mammoth Screen, ITV1’s engrossing hospital drama starring James Nesbitt, and went on to score the latest series of Inspector George Gently for the BBC, the taut thriller U Be Dead and Christopher and His Kind.

About his rousing orchestral music for the series, Dominik Scherrer said that ”on a show like Primeval the music does quite a lot, and there is also quite a lot of it – perhaps around eighty-five percent of screen time is scored, sometimes it may just be a little pulse in the background, other times full orchestral action extravagance.” About the striking theme, Scherrer explained that ”the central feel is that of majesty and adventure, reflecting the momentous occasion of mankind linking up with the pre-historic past and also the majesty of the creatures themselves – they are dangerous and wonderful.”

MovieScore Media (http://www.moviescoremedia.com) has been nominated for the International Film Music Critics Association ’Soundtrack Label of the Year’ award five years in a row and has released original music from over 150 films on CD and digitally online. It is distributed in the UK by RSK Entertainment and in the USA by Screen Archives Entertainment.[/endquote]
