Looking for more new movie music on CD? We've got two pretty cool new releases for you to choose from, ready for shipping to you on Tuesday, October 30. Watch for artwork and sound samples on our site late Monday afternoon. One of them brings you back many decades with a brand new recording in our Excalibur series. We've recorded every note of this masterpiece, too. Just enough music to spread over 2 CDs. Music that is powerful, dramatic, sinister, sumptuous... quite literally it's one of this famous Oscar-winning composer's most rich and varied works. Beautifully recorded and played... and though a double-disc set, it's specially priced at $19.99 to help make it affordable. The other release features two soundtracks on one disc, also written by an Oscar-winning composer. Both are world premiere releases, presented complete, with dynamic stereo sound from pristine masters no less. Outdoor action for one, nostalgic romance for the other.
Fun note here. High profile composers sometimes get featured on DVDs and Blu-rays of high profile movies but lower profile composers rarely get the attention they deserve for much of anything. So it's really neat to find unsung hero John Beal getting his own special feature on the new Blu-ray release of THE FUNHOUSE. Definitely a horror movie with cult status, this one has a powerhouse symphonic score. What a treat to hear Beal discuss how that grand scale music came to be!
