Bad puns all, I know. But the title at least lets you know that La-La Land continues its killer pace of getting great soundtracks to dig out from the vaults. Up for sale this week is two 20th Century Fox films from the '90s with Sony-owned soundtracks. Mark Mancina's score to Speed 2: Cruise Control, a score with more to offer than the silly, Sandra Bullock-led sequel to the action hit, makes its official debut on CD. Meanwhile, Jerry Goldsmith's score to The Edge, a David Mamet-penned nature drama starring Anthony Hopkins and Alec Baldwin, gets a proper expansion that befits one of the composer's last great scores.
La-La Land is certainly looking like the label to beat, thanks to their recent output and some killer future releases (the label has already confirmed a box set due in October compiling the best of Mark Snow's music from The X-Files, and I'm hearing some interesting rumors about some titles due from the label in association with Sony). These two sets - limited at 3,000 and 3,500 units each, respectively, look to continue that trend.
Pre-order the albums here and here (the label is offering a sale to those who buy them both) and check out the specs after the jump.
