INTRADA Announces:

BILL & TED'S BOGUS JOURNEY
Composed and Conducted by DAVID NEWMAN
INTRADA Special Collection Volume 48

The 1991 Orion sequel BILL & TED'S BOGUS JOURNEY opens in the far future, where Bill and Ted's legacy established in the first film, BILL & TED'S EXCELLENT ADVENTURE, has become embedded in the culture. Enter villain Chuck De Nomolos, intent on erasing Bill and Ted's influence from history and replacing it with his own. When lookalike robots sent by De Nomolos attempt to do away with the real Bill and Ted, they find themselves on a journey through hell and heaven, befriended by none other than the Grim Reaper (William Sadler). Once again, Bill and Ted must take down the evil ones and restore the flow of history to its correct path. Keanu Reeves and Alex Winter return to the roles of Bill and Ted.

Also returning for this sequel adventure is composer David Newman, this time flexing more muscle in the scoring. His large scale score takes the adventure seriously, playing against the onscreen comedy by emphasizing the evil menace of De Nomolos and the threat of the evil Bill and Ted robots, while also reinforcing the reality of hell and heaven with strong writing for full orchestra and choir. Heard on its own, the score can be enjoyed as a full-on genre score with epic scope.

While Intrada's initial vision was to present both of David Newman's BILL & TED scores on this album, licensing restrictions on the first score pre-empted the execution of that album. But fear not most excellent friends, the complete and available for the first time release of BOGUS JOURNEY is more than an awesome album in its own right. Party on, dudes!

This release is limited to 1500 units.

WE HAVE COME TO VISIT YOU IN PEACE AND WITH GOOD WILL.

As someone who created and runs DavidNewmanFilmMusic.150m.com, I can tell you this is one of this best scores, and definately a must have for any Newman fan.

Collectors who aren't too terribly annomored by Newman's sometimes mickey-mousey, middle ground efforts (Anastasia, for example), will find this is a strong effort.

Unlike the previous score, this one uses male & female vocals and introduces some news themes (I only recall once or twice a theme from hte previous score making it in), and even has a cue that would make Goldsmith fans see a new light to this composer.
Like the previous score, this contains some electronics; not "synth scapes", but parts of the score (like Goldsmith would do), and a powerful orchestra like it's predacessor.

Special note:
Unlike the Varese of "Stripes" and "Ghostbusters", or the LaLaLand Records "Spaceballs", this release -- based on total time -- appears to have ALL of the score on the bootleg (the long version; 1 and 2 do not fit onto one disc; the two headers are incomplete).


Hopefully, if Intrada ever does the first, they will note the bits of un-used score, and cues that are different from the film versions, and that the longest boot of the score is incomplete.



Don't let this one slip threw your fingers; I predict in two to three weeks it'll be sold out.

Thanks for the info,
Though I would still like to know what the specific restrictions that were imposed on B&T:EA.

So, I may look forward to it's release later on.
