Upcoming CDs

Just to reiterate -- I never posted it. The artist did

Black Rain will hopefully be out Sept 25, if not, then Oct 9

Due to approval delays that effected our Aug and early Sept release schedule, expect about 5 - 7 cds coming in late Sept and early Oct. . .some big releases, some small releases. . . some bronze age, some very recent...some film scores, some tv scores. . . Hopefully at least one of the titles will tickle your fancy.

Roger:

I'll tell you this, though. There will be one more volume after this and then we'll have released everything we could get our hands on related to BG. It's been a a real chore, which is why things have taken so long. And Vol. 4 master is done, so it shouldn't be that far behind. Then we start on the next TV series we lined up.

FSM CD #249 off to the plant—also a 2CD set

La-La Land Records, Capitol Records, and Paramount Pictures are honored to announce an expanded 2 cd set to Hans Zimmer’s score to Ridley Scott’s BLACK RAIN, a pulse pounding 1989 action thriller starring Michael Douglas and Andy Garcia. This modern day classic score ignited a flame in films giving a new voice to the way action films are scored. For years it seemed that every time a trailer came out they used a piece of music from this unforgettable score. Detailed liner notes by Tim Grieving and rich art direction by Dan Goldwasser add to the fantastic listening experience to this fantastic 2 cd set. Disc one features the film’s score. Disc two has the original album remastered plus bonus tracks from the film.

For our next release, we travel through time to the year 2012 and find ourselves face to face with a young and old Bruce Willis with the soundtrack to the new film LOOPER

LOOPER
MUSIC BY NATHAN JOHNSON
LLLCD 1227
LIMITED EDITION OF 3000 UNITS
RETAIL PRICE: $19.98

In the futuristic action thriller Looper, time travel will be invented - but it will be illegal and only available on the black market. When the mob wants to get rid of someone, they will send their target 30 years into the past, where a "looper" - a hired gun, like Joe (Joseph Gordon-Levitt) - is waiting to mop up. Joe is getting rich and life is good... until the day the mob decides to "close the loop," sending back Joe's future self (Bruce Willis) for assassination.

Looper is perhaps Nathan Johnson’s most unique score to date, featuring a host of indecipherable instruments along with intertwining rhythms and textures. In preparation for the project, Nathan began gathering a wide range of field recordings and then he and his team created a sort of playable, hybrid found-sound orchestra using those original recordings. The results were combined with live strings and horns to produce deep textures featuring pitched industrial fans, tuned treadmills, and a wide range of intricate rhythmic elements — all looping and cycling on themselves at various speeds.

This limited edition release features music NOT found on the digital download.

Tristar Pictures presents Looper, in theaters on September 28, 2012. Cut Narrative and La-La Land Records will be releasing the Looper soundtrack digitally on September 18th and on CD on September 25, 2012.
The first 100 or so people who purchase this cd directly through the La La Land website (www.lalalandrecords.com) will receive a signed copy by composer Nathan Johnson at no extra charge. Quantities are limited and you are not guaranteed an autograph.

Our third and final release for our September 25th batch will make you scream UNCLE!

MY UNCLE RAFAEL
MUSIC BY JOEY NEWMAN AND CHRIS WESTLAKE
LLLCD 1231
LIMITED EDITION OF 500 UNITS
RETAIL PRICE: $15.98

When a TV producer is desperate to find a replacement series, she convinces a 71 year-old Armenian, tell-it-like-it-is Uncle to star in a new reality show. Cultures collide when Uncle Rafael is thrown into the Schumacher family household where he, in his own Armenian way, has one week to save an already broken and dysfunctional American family from falling apart. The only rule—everyone must follow his rules!

The award-winning film stars Missi Pyle (The Artist, Charlie & the Chocolate Factory), John Michael Higgins (Yes Man, TVs “Happily Divorced”), Anthony Clark (Yes, Dear), Joe Lo Truglio (Role Models), Rachel Blanchard (Road Trip), Carly Chaikin (Suburgatory), and Sage Ryan (Piranha).

Based on characters from the famous, award-winning Armenian stage comedy “Rafael Keri Gandzere,” creator and actor Vahik Pirhamzei plays multiple roles in the film including Uncle Rafael himself.

Composers Newman and Westlake help bring to life this charming comedy with a rich, thematic score worthy of the “Newman” name. This limited edition release also features the song “Rafael” performed by Smith and Pyle (Shawnee Smith and Missi Pyle).

The first 100 or so people who purchase this cd directly through the La La Land website (www.lalalandrecords.com) will receive a signed copy by the composers at no extra charge. Quantities are limited and you are not guaranteed an autograph.
