Just saw this on the store's new releases page, I had no idea this was coming out, and the description says the scores are remastered. Christopher Young's music for these films was always one of the scariest parts for me, and as much as I love all of it (especially the opening to Hellbound) I'm not sure I can listen to the music if I buy it...anyoone else going to grab a copy? |

It was remastered by James Nelson at DIGITAL OUTLAND. HELLRAISER never sounded better.. HELLBOUND always sounded very good since it was remasted from the ground up when it was first released. So this one sounds a bit better, once again thanks to Mr. Nelson. Ford A. Thaxton |

These two scores--20+ years old--have not been bettered in horror scoring, IMnHO. They brought a depth of feeling and a subtle approach to a horror concept that was about the Faust impulse in us all, with an evocation of other places we never even see much of in the first movie. So it was a surprise to me when I saw the second one and was blown away by Young`s ability to make a score rooted in the first that replaced subtle and sinuous background music with brass and choir-propelled set pieces that would never fit in the first movie. These two, Carter Burwell`s Book of Shadows and Rachel Portman`s Beloved are some of the best horror scoring of the past few decades, and they step on and mock the meager background plucky Penderecki rip-offs that some seem to think is original. |
