Music Box Records presents the premiere CD release of the score for 2015 Rabid Dogs composed by Laurent Eyquem (Copperhead, Winnie Mandela, Tokarev, Momentum).

Based on Mario Bava's original 1974 classic thriller, Rabid Dogs comes from first-timer director Éric Hannezo starring Lambert Wilson, Guillaume Gouix, Virginie Ledoyen and Laurent Lucas. Rabid Dogs received critical acclaim as a minimalist noir masterpiece, favoured for its cinematography and inspired narrative.

A bank job goes wrong. Four armed robbers take refuge in a shopping centre - shots are fired, panic ensues. Surrounded, the criminals shoot a man and take a woman hostage. Cornered, they hijack a car. At the wheel - a father on his way to hospital with his sick child. Out of control, on the run, their escape turns into a merciless manhunt. For these rabid dogs, there is no turning back.

‘’The foundation of the score is electronic from start to finish, both in terms of the overall sound and the melodies. The electronic roots are omnipresent, maintaining a decidedly intense atmosphere’’ explains the composer. ‘’Strings are used sparingly and bring a kind of tenderness to the chaos’’. In his score, Laurent Eyquem also uses very brief quotations of the original musical theme from the Bava film composed by Stelvio Cipriani to connect films together.

This soundtrack is the one that accompanied the full-length version of the film as it was presented at Cannes Film Festival in May 2015. It includes original cues that didn't make it to the final version of Rabid Dogs shown in theaters.

LOLITA (1997)
Original Motion Picture Soundtrack
Music Composed, Orchestrated and Conducted by Ennio Morricone

Limited Collector's Edition.
Remastered reissue with new CD artwork. 75 minutes long program.
Edition supervised by Claudio Fuiano and Daniel Winkler.
8-page CD booklet with liner notes by Gergely Hubai.

Ref: MBR-038R
Release Date: December 1, 2015


Music Box Records is pleased to reissue the expanded CD of Lolita (1997), Ennio Morricone’s classic score for Adrian Lyne’s controversial adaptation of the Vladmir Nabokov novel. Starring Jeremy Irons, Melanie Griffith, Frank Langella and Dominique Swain, this version had to contend with the shadow of the earlier adaptation made by Stanley Kubrick.
In 2013, Music Box Records released this expanded edition which was quickly sold out in less than two months.

Nabokov’s novel tells the tale of Humbert Humbert, a university professor who falls in love with the daughter of his landlady. His love for the teen-aged nymphette Lolita knows no boundaries so he marries his shrewish mother in order to be close to the girl. Before his new wife could oust him as a pervert, Humbert gets widowed and must take of Lolita – a sweet burden he happily carries across the country. Their cross-country adventure is followed by the mysterious Clare Quilty who has his own plans for Lolita...

For Lolita, Ennio Morricone contributed one of his most memorable and melodramatic scores that work wonderfully alongside Lyne’s slow-motion images filled with erotic tension. As the composer himself described the project: "With my music, I only had to follow on a high level the director's intentions to make Lolita a story of sincere and reciprocal love, even within the limits of the purity and malicious naiveté of its young subject."

Mastered by Claudio Fuiano and Daniel Winkler, this new reissue by Music Box Records with a brand new artwork expands upon the original Milan Records soundtracks by omitting the period songs and adding more music by the Maestro. Highlights include different variations of the main theme and the "Requiescant" theme which features the guest performance of the Coro di Voci Bianche dell'Arcum children's choir.

REINDEER GAMES (2000)
Original Motion Picture Soundtrack
Music Composed and Conducted by Alan Silvestri

World Premiere CD release. Limited Collector’s Edition.
65 minutes of music never-before released.
8-page CD booklet with liner notes by Daniel Schweiger.

Ref: MBR-079
Release Date: December 1, 2015


Music Box Records is pleased to present the world premiere release of acclaimed composer Alan Silvestri's (Back to the Future Trilogy, Predator, The Walk) original score to the 2000 action thriller Reindeer Games, starring Ben Affleck, Gary Sinise, Charlize Theron and James Frain, and directed by John Frankenheimer (Seven Days in May, French Connection II, The Fourth War).

Written by Ehren Kruger (Arlington Road, Scream 3, The Brothers Grimm), the film tells the story of Rudy Duncan (Ben Affleck) and his cellmate Nick Cassidy (James Frain) who are both about to be freed from jail when Nick is murdered during a prison brawl. Rudy assume's his late cellmate's identity when his pen-pal-like girlfriend Ashley Mercer (Charlize Theron) comes to find him. But Ashley's brother Gabriel (Gary Sinise) and his crew of deadly criminals think Rudy has some inside information to rob a casino where the real Nick once had a job.

The icily humorous score is packed with rhythmic orchestral suspense and electronic minimalism. Alan Silvestri composes the thrilling tension and chase cues with his signature propulsive action music, while also offering soaring, lush melody as "Nick" quickly discovers that Ashley certainly isn't the sweetheart he imagined her to be.

The soundtrack debut of Reindeer Games is presented in stereo from pristine-condition from digital scoring session mixes, featuring exclusive liner notes by writer Daniel Schweiger and new comments by Alan Silvestri on his collaboration with director John Frankenheimer.

Probably shouldn't do clues just yet, other than to say it's two scores on one CD, both of which have been out on CD before - one has been OOP for a very long time, one has been OOP for a few years now - but this pairing is new and since the score that's been OOP for a very long time sold out literally in a day, I think this will do very, very well.

Bad boys 2 may happen in 2016. Things got delayed at Sony due to the hack.

Again, these are coming from others, not us. Sometimes it just takes a long time - which is what I'm finding out the hard way with these sixteen or so titles I'm trying to clear. I think even a year ago that process would have gone much faster, but now it's just endless - going on six months now.

I've had Marnie for ages - I wanted it for us, but it was already taken, or so I was told.

Silva Screen Records will release a CD of score to the upcoming TV movie "Peter and Wendy" (yes, another Peter Pan film).

The score is by somebody named Maurizio Malagnini. I only mention it, as I tend not to report standard CD releases, 'cause back when I first saw the score had been recorded months ago, the blurb mentioned "sumptious string writing". There are samples at the Amazon.co.uk page, but they won't play for me. Feel free to sample yourself:

Our 40th anniversary edition of Pinchcliffe Grand Prix (Flåklypa Grand Prix) with music by Bent Fabricius-Bjerre, is nearly sold out already.
The anniversary edition is limited to 1000 units.

We´ve been quite amazed with the interest in this release, from the Scandinavian countries of course, but also from the rest of the film music community

Truth be told we tried to get the rights 2 years ago and were told another company snatched them up. That was in late 2013. Nothing happened for the 10th anniversary in 2014, so I had assumed it would be out this year, but nothing.

These things happen.

MV

I can say if it was easy it would be out by now.
