La-La Land Goes Straight as an "Arrow" on New Soundtrack Batch

La-La Land Goes Straight as an “Arrow” on New Soundtrack Batch

La-La Land’s got two soundtracks ready to order today, including their first-ever expansion of a score by Hans Zimmer.

The German composer is one of a remaining few “household name” composers to even the least knowledgeable of film scores thanks to titles like the Oscar-winning The Lion King, Gladiator, Rain Man, Gladiator, the Pirates of the Caribbean series and Inception. But only last year was he treated to an expanded reissue – Perseverance’s new Rain Man CD – and it was criticized for less than stellar sound quality.

The LLL team, including score production and preservation luminaries Nick Redman, Mike Matessino and Daniel Hersch, brings another Zimmer classic back to audiences: his score to the 1996 action flick Broken Arrow, starring John Travolta and Christian Slater. Featuring guitar work by Duane Eddy, the score is restored to its original film presentation over two discs, including three album-only suites as bonus tracks.

The label’s other release today is the score to Yesterday Was a Lie, a recent neo-noir film scored by composer Kristopher Carter (composer for animated television shows including Ben 10 and Batman: The Brave and the Bold).

Broken Arrow is limited to 3,000 copies and Yesterday Was a Lie is limited to 1,000. They can be ordered through the label’s Web site as always (independent order links were not live as of post time.) Full track info for both can be found after the jump.
