INTRADA Announces:



TRANSFORMERS - THE MOVIE
Music Composed by VINCE DiCOLA
INTRADA INT 3006

Now available from Intrada on 180-gram premium vinyl, The Transformers: The Movie (1986) presented keyboardist-turned-composer Vince DiCola with the challenge of taking the rhythmic genre he loved into a new, futuristic dimension, using the same daring synergy that the makers of The Transformers’ TV show were using to broaden their brand name. DiCola truly fused progressive “arena rock” with alien technology to make The Transformers a stylistic whole, capturing the movie’s 2005 setting with its brightly futuristic synth sound. While Rocky IV had afforded him an orchestra, the budget of The Transformers necessitated an electronic approach. With the aid of co-producer Ed Fruge, programmer Casey Young, percussionist Michael Fisher and other first-call session musicians, DiCola stuffed the Scotti Brothers recording studio with Moog, Oberheim, Yamaha and EMU synthesizers and samplers. Initially working from storyboards and a plot synopsis, DiCola won the filmmakers over with a six-minute demo cue called “Legacy” that laid the seeds for his score, included here as a bonus.

The Transformers: The Movie has remained as rhythmically vibrant as ever for the franchise’s numerous fans. Previously available on CD from Intrada, this marks its premiere release on vinyl.

In 1986, it was decided that the best way to go into both a third season and a new product line was by giving the action figures a major cinematic upgrade with The Transformers: The Movie. The film’s sizable ambitions were embodied by Unicron, a machine-eating planet whose attack on the Transformer home world of Cybertron posed a singular threat to both Autobots and Decepticons. The movie noticeably went far beyond the TV show in its robot-shattering scale of destruction, “brutally” trashing numerous old characters to make way for a shinier new toy line that included Insectoids, Dinobots, Constructicons and jingle-spouting Junkticons.

One word...
AWESOME!!

Is the vinyl in a special color or pattern?

Great choice. Perhaps not worth the extra expense, but I think collectors would be even more enthralled by limited Optimus Prime and Megatron themed designs.

I think it's not just the "collectability" of these vinyls but also the fact that this collection features unreleased music for years and the Movie vinyl had already been out in CD before by Intrada, everyone got it, and the score itself had been out too in other forms (like the 97 Con bootleg)..

I'm more saddened that Intrada is missing out on sales rather than it not having a deluxe packaging, for me, Intrada deserves all the sales to continue living.

Here's a new interview from VINCE DICOLA:http://slycastpodcast.blogspot.be/2018/04/interview-vince-dicola.html

I notice with interest that the Varese release of The Goonies on vinyl two weeks ago (limited to 750 copies) sold out in five days. So there is clearly a market for titles like that one and Enjoy The Records' Transformers release (but not, seemingly, for Transformers The Movie).
