A remake of the classic 1958 sci-fi/horror flick, The Blob finds the titular monster consuming the helpless population of a California town - but rather than some space creature, this blob is a military bio-weapon gone horribly wrong. With a screenplay written by Frank Darabont and the film's director Chuck Russell (also the director of Nightmare on Elm Street III: Dream Warriors) and a cast that includes future stars Kevin Dillon of Entourage and Shawnee Smith of the Saw series, The Blob remains a cult classic today. The score, composed by Michael Hoenig (who at the time had a nice scoring gig on the television show Max Headroom and had also, briefly, been a member of Tangerine Dream), is typical, top-notch horror stuff, with plenty of atmospheric percussion and otherworldly tones. The soundtrack, resequenced and expanded by about 15 minutes from its original 1988 presentation on Filmtrax Records, is limited to 2,000 copies.
The label is also selling a new double-disc set of music from the new video game Crysis 2, featuring a score written by several composers, most notably Oscar winner Hans Zimmer of The Lion King, Pirates of the Caribbean and Inception fame. Order pages and track listings for each set are after the jump.
