INTRADA Announces:
HOLLOW MAN
Composed and Conducted by JERRY GOLDSMITH
INTRADA ISC 483
Intrada's latest Jerry Goldsmith expansion features what is perhaps one of his longest scores – the Columbia Pictures sci-fi thriller Hollow Man (2000). Directed by Paul Verhoven, this would be their second sci-fi collaboration after the powerhouse sci-fi action score for Total Recall (1990). The 91+ minute score starts with a deceptively subdued misterioso main title that only hints at the events to follow, like any good overture. While the score is a meld of large orchestra and synthesizers, the orchestra is at the forefront during the numerous action and suspense set pieces. A highlight of the score is the music that accompanies attempts to turn invisible or return from invisibility, featuring harp, piano, strings and brass that builds up through the transformation, hearkening back to his mysterious space V'ger music of Star Trek: The Motion Picture.
While the original album released at the time of the film featured a generous 52 minutes, the complete score plus alternates clocks in at 153 minutes. Bruce Botnick, who helmed the scoring sessions at Abbey Road Studios, provided Intrada with his final stereo mixes in high resolution for a detailed clarity in the final mastering that adds new depth to this epic work. Included for the first time is one of the most often requested tracks from the score, "Chasing Isabelle," just scratching the surface of the wealth of unreleased material here.
In the film, Kevin Bacon stars as Sebastian Caine, a scientist who develops an invisibility formula and arrogantly tests it on himself, only to find himself losing his mind—and falling prey to his worst impulses—when he and his team of researchers can’t restore him to visibility. His worst impulses turn into a murderous rampage as his colleagues try to escape their invisible foe while trapped in a subterranean lab.
