Intrada Soundtrack Forum

1/2/2020

It’s 2020! Welcome to the New Year! As Intrada begins this busy time, I start by saying I’m looking forward to a lot of cool albums coming up, not only from us but several other labels as well. Expansions, restorations, re-mastered editions, new discoveries… welcome one and all. I hesitate to mention “limited editions” since just about everything nowadays is limited by market interest, with re-pressings based on demand and titles moving about from one label to another becoming routine. But no matter what yardstick is used, the music is most welcome.

As we begin the new year, I’m really excited to hear such positive responses to our just-released new recording of Dial M For Murder. Much of the feedback divides into two camps: Those who are thrilled with the authenticity and quality of the release and those are stunned by the speed with which we went from recording the score to having finished discs available. Hearing from both camps either way is a really nice way to launch this series. We hoped listeners would be pleased with our efforts - your responses and support suggest we succeeded. Thank you! We worked hard to assemble a perfect team for our first crowd-funded project. Maestro Stromberg and I spent quite a bit of time over the holidays getting pre-production plans underway for our next release already. We have a long list of fantastic requests as well as our own personal favorites so we may just have to throw a dart and see where it lands!

Our first 2020 new soundtrack release hits mid-month and it’s one I’ve been excited about seeing happen for awhile now. A 2-CD set, a Disney title, a magnificent score from a favorite composer… what’s not to like? It arrives right on the heels of our Dimitri Tiomkin release mentioned above so the Intrada hamsters here in the shipping room will have plenty of stuff to stay caught up with. And there are plenty more fabulous releases in the works to follow. Hopefully you’ll stay tuned. I’ll make sure the hamsters stay fed.
