INTRADA Announces:



RAGING ANGELS
Music Composed and Conducted by TERRY PLUMERI
INTRADA Signature Edition 1050

The 1995 horror film Raging Angels is filled with an atmosphere of churning and slashing evil that fights intensely to triumph over the innocence of a teenage couple. The film's foreboding undercurrent inspired composer Terry Plumeri to establish this evil from the opening note of the main title and further escalating this darkness through a gothic and expansive choir, superimposed over rhythmically driven instrumental voices. In contrast to this foreboding environment, Plumeri chose a less complex musical setting for the love theme associated with the characters of Chris and Lila. The accompaniment is string orchestra, with the solo voice of acoustic guitar, beautifully played by Federico Ramos. Another notable performance in the score is that of French actress, Arielle Dombasle (Megan), whose beautiful voice appears performing a traditional demonic incantation from the 15th century.

The story of Raging Angels centers on floundering musician Chris D’Amico (Sean Patrick Flanery), who has wrestled with the demons of alcoholism and a rocky relationship with girlfriend Lila (Monet Mazur). Things get even more complicated when she auditions to sing backup for Gramercy (Michael Paré), a fast-rising rock star and spokesperson for the Coalition for World Unity. This cult-like organization promotes a future built upon a single government—made up of the wisest people humanity has to offer. Sounds good, doesn't it?

This sounds good, as expected from Mr. Plumeri. You probably couldn't pay me to see the film, but I will gladly pay to hear the full score.

These samples sound awesome. SCARECROWS is up there as one of my favorite horror scores. This one can sit proudly beside it. I never had a chance to view the film, but I'm a glutton for bad horror movies. Judging by the You Tube trailers...it looks pretty bad. I just have to locate it now. Thanks for all the CDs, Intrada, but especially ANY horror scores!!

Scarecrows is a wonderfully eerie score for a creepy movie. I had never heard of the movie, but there was just something about that sinister scarecrow on the cover and the sound clips that made me purchase the CD. I love that score. The movie is pretty freaky, too. I have seen it since... By accident a stumbled upon the movie one day late at night... alone... remote... a situation that effectively supported the movie's atmosphere.

I really like Plumeri's music. Every time Intrada releases one of his scores, I end up listening to the samples and picking up a copy. Nor am I disappointed when I hear the whole album.

This is quite a nice album. It sets a captivatingly foreboding atmosphere and certainly doesn't overstay its welcome.

One interesting thing is that this is apparently a re-recording done in 2001? Well, that's what I was able to gather from the booklet. Perhaps a partial re-recording? If true, are there any other re-recordings Plumeri did that would make a release relatively easy?
