INTRADA Announces LOVE AT FIRST BITE Music Composed and Conducted by CHARLES BERNSTEIN INTRADA Special Collection Vol. 203 George was brilliant in how he made Dracula adorable in his pomposity. And I found that the more super-serious and emotional I made his music, then the more people were likely to laugh.” - composer Charles Bernstein Intrada's latest release from the MGM film music catalog features Charles Bernstein's much sought after score for the 1979 film Love at First Bite. The classic image of Dracula brings its own set of musical tropes—including the soulful voice of a Gypsy violin, the sound of a cimbalom, the regal strains representing the count’s royal lineage and the soaring strings that bring on the bite of everlasting life. This richly melodic heritage suffuses Bernstein’s score, beginning with his main theme for Dracula. But Bernstein just as quickly announces this isn’t going to be your grandparents’ Dracula score, as growling synths, electric guitar and a disco beat accompany the din of howling wolves and the Dracula motif is carried over to a florid, Liberace-worthy piano conclusion. While originally released as a 7-track LP on Parachute Records aimed at a disco-era music audience, this Intrada release features a 56-minute program dramatically expanding on Bernstein's score. Love at First Bite features George Hamilton as a not-so-dark prince cast from his ancestral castle in Romania into New York City. It’s a funky town distinctly lacking the etiquette this bat out of water has been accustomed to for 712 years, especially when he has to win the hand (and neck) of the very modern American supermodel with whom he’s fallen hopelessly in love. INTRADA Special Collection Vol. 203 Retail Price: $19.99 Available Now For track listing and sound samples, please visit http://store.intrada.com/s.nl/it.A/id.7637/.f |

Excellent! This will surely send many people dancin' through the night, and for very good reason. I am really happy for CocoNut Joe. I think it is safe to say that there isn't anyone on this planet who wanted to see this soundtrack release more than him. |

Also, let me add an additional 'thank you' to the Intrada shipping department, or those speedy little hamsters. They really deserve--what's it called these days?--a shout out! I really appreciate how hard and accurate they work. Over all the years I've been buying CDs each week, not one lost package, broken case--nothing. Top-notch service, and I can't see myself not supporting this crew. They're that good. |

This sounds great! Honestly, aside from A Nightmare on Elm Street, I never knew any Charles Bernstein before I started collecting limited editions - now from Intrada I have The Entity, White Lightning, Gator, and Mr. Majestyk, all brilliant! I'm a bit behind on Intrada's recently, but the list to buy just got one title longer based on these terrific samples. |
