The week (or post-holiday part of the week) kicks off few release notes from around the soundtrack catalogue labels. Intrada has two releases - one which celebrates another hero of the early days of the U.S.A. - and La-La Land has a two-fer dealing with the films of a biting American satirist.
Intrada's releases are The Black Bird - Jerry Fielding's 1976 score to the goofy semi-sequel to The Maltese Falcon - and Laurence Rosenthal's score to the 1984 miniseries George Washington (the label previously released Bruce Broughton's score to George Washington II: The Forging of a Nation (1986)). Both sets are making their first appearance on CD, and Washington will be a two-disc set. (It's limited to 1,000 copies, while The Black Bird tops out at 1,500.)
La-La Land, meanwhile, has prepped a set of scores to the first two films by Mike Judge. The writer/director gained notoriety for his MTV staple Beavis and Butt-head and later crossed over into more mainstream animation with the FOX comedy King of the Hill. But it's his first two live-action films, 1999's Office Space and 2006's Idiocracy, that may be the most hilarious. Each provide a biting send-up of their subject matter (corporate culture in the first and the American stereotype against thinking in the second) and, while neither set the box office on fire, they have become best-sellers on DVD and are entrenched in the American comedy canon. La-La Land presents the complete scores to each film (Office Space scored by John Frizell and Idiocracy composed by Theodore Shapiro) with a handful of alternates and source cues for Idiocracy. The set is limited to 1,200 copies and early batches will be autographed by each composer.
